Limerick prepare for documentary premier

Limerick FC are preparing to screen a documentary, Till I Die, tonight in the Strand Hotel at 9.30pm.
The made-for-TV documentary takes a look behind the scenes at the club, highlights its plans for future development and also examines the possibility of a potential return to the Market’s Field.
The FAI will also make a presentation on their vision for the Market’s Field on the night in what promises to prove an exciting occasion for Super Blues supporters.
The Super Blues will host their now annual ‘The KenDuckey Derby’ on Bank Holiday Monday, June 1 at 4.30pm at Abbey Bridge.
Ducks cost €2 each and are available to buy from any club volunteer or squad member.
Once again some bumper prizes are on offer and you can contact the club on 061 324 563.


Pat Scully’s First Division side were extremely unlucky not to beat league leaders UCD at Jackman Park on Friday night. The Super Blues dominated that encounter, but failed to score the winning goal their determined display so richly deserved.
Manager Pat Scully will be concerned this week with injuries picked up by three key players against UCD.
Pat Purcell limped off in the first half, Shane Tracy was forced off in the second while John Tierney suffered a hamstring injury which could rule the talented striker out for a number of weeks.
Limerick FC’s next outing is against Mervue United at Galway’s Terryland Park on Friday night next (7pm).
Kilmallock United, who carried the Limerick District League flag into Sunday’s FAI Under-17 Challenge Cup final suffered a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Belvedere at Dublin’s Tolka Park.
Despite taking the lead and the heroics of the immensely talented goalkeeper Robert Egan Belvedere surged back to score three times in the last half hour to deny Kilmallock an historic first national title.
Meanwhile Pike Rovers collected the Kilmurry Lodge Premier League title on Thursday night last when goals from Johnny Corbett and Pat McGarry (penalty) helped the Hoops to a 2-0 victory over their closest rivals Fairview Rangers at the Fairgreen. Following a one-all draw with Carew Park on Saturday night Pike Rovers finished five points clear of second-placed Fairview while Dromore Celtic and Granville Rangers were both relegated from the Premier League.
Pike Rovers have now won the Fran Mullally trophy for the third time in four years and will be most observers favourites to make it three titles in a row next season.
Pike, chasing a domestic treble, face Fairview in a Lawson Cup semi-final this Thursday night (6.30pm).
The Hoops have already won the Tuohy Cup while the clash with Fairview this week promises to be a cracker.
