Mons pulled a goal back when a free kick was glanced on by a Mons player, but then hit another player (Limerick defender I think) and looped over Collopy in goals.
5 mins into the second half and Mons gifted us another goal. A through ball was too far for Kavanagh, but keeper and defender waited for each other to do something about it and Kavanagh was able to nip in and poke the ball past the keeper and tap in from a yard. He even had time to celebrate before the tap in.
Mons got a penalty for handball about 5 mins later. I didn't see, but did hear, the ball hitting hand, and the lack of complaints from the Limerick defence made me think it must have been a good decision. And with about 10 mins to go, they equalised from a near post header from a throw in.
I thought we had more possession, but they created quite a few chances as well, and could even have nicked it at the end.
Scully was screaming at his defence to "just defend the f***ing ball" for the last 20 mins, and I'd say there were harsh words in our dressing room after.
