Limerick FC 0-3 Galway United
Galway United consolidated their position in the top five of the eircom League First Division table with a comfortable victory over west-coast rivals Limerick at the Pike Rovers Sports Ground early on Saturday evening, when defender Conor Frawley proved the unlikely goalscoring hero for the Tribesmen.
Frawley got on the end of two crosses into the area, beating home keeper Jimmy Fyffe on both occasions to fire Galway to the three points.
In between Frawley’s brace, another Ryan Casey cross into the area was poorly defending by the Lims, Barry Moran getting on the end to fire his ninth goal of the season, making him joint top scorer in the division along with UCD’s Willie Doyle.
The win closes the gap between Galway and third place, the final promotion spot, to just three points following Bray’s failure to beat Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds later on Saturday night.
Limerick FC: Fyffe, O’Mahoney, Aherne, Whyte (Mernagh, 61), Hartness, Conway, Molan, Coyne (Quigley, 71), Browne, O’Brien, Barry.
Galway United: Gough, Keady, Quirke, R. Frawley, C. Frawley, Fortune, Russell, Casey, Harty, Moran (O’Dowd, 84), Dupuy.
Referee: J. O’Neill (Waterford).
