Europe next on Limerick’s agenda

Limerick FC manager Martin Russell has targeted European football following his side’s promotion to the SSE Airtricity Premier Division on Sunday night.

The First Division table-toppers maintained their remarkable undefeated season by defeating UCD 3-2 in Belfield, a win that saw them return to the top tier with six games to spare.

The Shannonsiders’ desire to bounce back from relegation at the first attempt was evident from their opening day 4-1 victory — also over the Students — and an impressive goal difference of +55 underlines just how dominant they have been.
