From the FAI site:
At Pike Rovers' SC, in-form Limerick take on Galway United who are still looking to kick-start their season (Kick off 7:30).
Limerick boss Mike Kerley is delighted with his side's form having won four and drawn one of their last five games. "We are playing well and I am delighted with our form. We went to Finn Harps looking for a result and got one which shows how well we are doing."
Kerley will probably name himself on the bench after losing two of his players this week; Michael Molan (sic) and Shane O'Donoghue, because of college commitments though he will welcome Brendan Sweeney back from suspension.
For Galway United, Barry Moran is out with an ankle injury as the Terryland Park outfit look to kick start their season. Two weeks ago, a 5-0 demolition of Cobh Ramblers looked to have set the ball rolling for Tony Mannion's side but after throwing away a two-goal lead against Dublin City last week, they came down to earth with a bump.
"We're actually playing quite well and scoring plenty of goals but we're not getting the results that I feel we deserve. Yes we haven't lost since the first day of the season, but the thing is we've only won once," Mannion said.
"There's a fine line between being an attacking side and getting caught out and even when we go ahead we still race forward looking for another. With a bit more experience, maybe we'd be more pragmatic, but we can't become a side that only attacks some of the time - that would lead to other bad habits."
