Limerick had a great game last night. We could tell from the moment we saw them warming up in the stadium of tin that the team being fielded were fit and looking forward to the game.
Limerick's overall team performance was brilliant. Of special mention however was Mannering, who scored our first two goals and really gave it his all for the team last night, and Colm Heffernan who scored the last goal. Heffernan played a great game, and despite his lack of experience showing through in terms of defending now and then, showed great skill and perseverance throughout the ninty minutes. His goal was well deserved and put the icing on the cake for those of us lucky enough to make the trip.
Ciarán Foley also played well and placed a number of excellent crosses into the box during the game. His crosses were much better than those of O'Donaghue.
Speaking of O'Donaghue, he actually passed a player last night - he took him on and beat him!
O'Connor's tactics were spot on last night. The introduction of Frank Brown helped to push the ball forward and added to the pressure we put Athlone under towards the end of the second half.
All in all it was a great game for Limerick who fully deserved the win. Well done lads.
