Jimmy Fyffe - One of my favourite players but he was crap, totally at fault for the third and fifth goals and at least partially to blame for the first. - 4/10
Mike Kerley - Started well enough but didnt get forward a lot and seemed to lose touch with the game as it wore on. - 6/10
Paddy Purcell - Badly out of sorts, a schoolboy lunge cost us a goal and didn't seem anywhere near as composed as usual. - 5/10
Paul Finucane - Like Fyffe, had his worst game in a Limerick shirt. The normally peerless Finucane was miles off the pace and looked nervous throughout. - 4/10
Eoin Poill - Not superb by any stretch but kept his head down and did the basics well. - 6/10
Shane o'Donoghue - Anonymous after the first five minutes. Pulled out a couple of crucial tackles and couldn't seem to get up to the speed of the game at all. - 4/10
Bendan Hughes - Worked tirelessly throughout and accordingly seemed to tire late-on but his box-to-box running and goal brought Limerick back into the game. - 7/10
Oran Welderick - Another who can't be faulted for commitment and effort. That Limerick largely matched Harps in the middle of the park was largely down to Welderick's industry. Looked a bit out of place up-front but never stopped running. - 7/10
Ciaran Foley - Turned in a good performance out wide on the left, passing the ball about well and taking people on. One of the few who is totally blameless. - 7/10
Stephen O'Flynn - Showed some great touches and control in abysmal conditions but tended to over-do it when a simple pass would have been best. - 6/10
Barry Ryan - Never stamped his mark on the game. Looked out of his depth to be frank.
Subs:
Anton Mannering - Worked his socks off when he came on and should start ahead of Barry Ryan in future. - 6/10
Brian Donnellan - Looked impresive when he came on, taking on players and making more of an impression in his 25 minutes than Shane O'Donoghue had managed in the previous 65. - 7/10
Eoin Keating - Not on long enough to rate.
Hugely disappointing performance that is going to make it much, much harder to reach the play-offs. A 5-2 home defeat is nothing to boast of but a comedy off errors at the back yesterday meant that we really deserved nothing more...
TOTALLY AGREE INDIVIDUAL ERRORS COST LIMERICK BIGTIME,CREDIT MUST GO TO BOTH SIDES FOR PUTTING ON SUCH A DECENT GAME IN WHAT WAS AWFUL PLAYING CONDITIONS BUT UNFORTUNATLY THE RESULT THAT WE WANTED WAS'NT TO BE BUT IT'S STILL ALL TO PLAY FOR AND WITH EIGHT GAMES LEFT IT'S NOT OVER YET.LIMERICK CAN STILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AND HOPEFULLY THE PREMIER WERE WE'VE WAITED SO LONG TO SEE THEM PLAY AGAIN
