Limerick planning to scupper Cork City’s double dream

Cork City might be the team harbouring realistic dreams of a glorious double but Limerick will have designs on a notable double of their own when they travel to Turner’s Cross for tonight’s FAI Cup semi-final. 

A week ago, Limerick shocked the league champions-elect by beating them 2-1 at the Markets Field, a result which has given them the belief they can make it back to back wins against their Munster rivals tonight.

“We’re big underdogs but had we lost last Friday we probably wouldn’t have any expectations going to Turner’s Cross,” admits Limerick’s Dean Clarke.
