Cooney's injured, John Whyte's suspended. Hopefully Foley, Sugrue, Loughman will be back as well to give us some options.
Troubled Lims host Munster rivals
Stricken club Limerick FC welcome Munster rivals Cobh Ramblers to the Pike Rovers Sports Ground this evening in the knowledge that it could be the club’s last ever home match in the national league if an investor is not found in the coming days.
This Friday, July 10th, was the initial deadline set to find a new investor for the club, but no financier has come forward, and the club could be forced to drop out of the league after 66 years.
The deadline for finding a new backer is set to be extended by another fortnight, however, as the club have received enough in donations from well-wishers to remain in business for that length of time.
In addition to their crises off the field, they face difficult times on it tonight, as manager Mike Kerley may be forced to play himself after an injury crisis reduced his squad to just TWELVE fully-fit players.
Goalkeeper John Healy is doubtful with a shoulder injury, although Kerley hopes he will be available, but the Lims will definitely be without striker Gareth Cooney (ankle) and midfielder John Whyte (suspension).
Cobh boss Dave Hill can pick from a virtually full-strength squad as the Cork side attempt to extend their unbeaten sequence to four games.
They remain the league’s weakest attacking side, having scored just nine goals all season, but recent matches have been more encouraging, and with strike pairing Jonathan Coker and Willie Bruton both having scored in the past fortnight, they will hope to provide the goals to help Ramblers to their third win in four matches.
