County:

Limerick Senior footballers made the long trip to Markievicz Park in Sligo to play their opening game of the new season in division three of the Allianz football league. Unfortunately, we left our scoring boots at home when we kicked thirteen wides and lost out by two points at the final whistle on a scoreline of Limerick 0-13, Sligo 0-15. Despite losing this Limerick team showed great promise for the year ahead under the new management of John Broudair. The Club would like to wish John and the Limerick Senior footballers the very best for the year ahead. We now play Longford in the Gaelic grounds next Sunday afternoon, when hopefully we will get our first win of the league.
