Shane Duggan delivers for Limerick

Runaway First Division leaders Limerick met their toughest test of the campaign last night and, despite finishing with 10 men, prevailed 2-1 against UCD.

Captain Shane Duggan bagged both goals at the Belfield Bowl, either side of Ryan Swan’s equaliser, to extend their unblemished run to eight games.

Breaking the record number of consecutive wins was hard work for Martin Russell’s team against a side who were also relegated last year but the Munster men shaded an eventful tie.
