0' - The sun is shining here at Deacy Park, the teams are warming up for tonight's game. SD Galway have young Ronan Burke in goals as Liam Grant is unavailable, while the home side also have four other teenagers on the bench. Barry Ryan occupies the bench for Limerick on the ground where he previous starred between the stick for Galway United, while the vastly experienced Joe Gamble is also held in reserve. There is strength through the entire Limerick squad, with former local favourite Derek O'Brien starting wide left for the visitors. |
