Super Blues face Wexford

KILCORNAN’S Garry Sheehan will find himself facing his colleagues from last season with Limerick FC when the Super Blues travel to Ferrycarrig Park on Friday night to take on the Wexford Youths (8pm) - the striker transferred to Wexford last February.
Limerick FC however won’t fear Wexford especially after the Youths lost 0-2 to Athlone Town on Saturday last.
The Super Blues are undefeated in four games now while they have won both league encounters against the Youths this season. On April 10, at Ferrycarrig Park, Limerick had Paul Walsh (penalty) and Colin Scanlan to thank for a two-goal win while on July 10 Brian O’Callaghan and Shane Tracy helped the Super Blues to an identical result at Jackman Park. The sides also met in the EA Sports Cup on April 13 and although Stephen Goggin scored for Limerick the Super Blues lost on penalties (3-5) after a one-all draw.
Following Friday night Limerick FC have just five games remaining. They enjoy two consecutive home games against Kildare County (October 9) and Waterford United (October 16) while they then face Sporting Fingal (away) on Tuesday, October 20.
The Super Blues last home game of the season will be against Finn Harps on October 30 while they will complete their league campaign against Longford Town (away) on Saturday, November 7.
Meanwhile the Limerick FC under-20s, coached by Paul O’Donnell and Barry Lynch, beat Carlow 2-0 in Tullow on Sunday with goals from Cian Doyle and David McGrath.
That result puts Limerick FC right in the hunt for a spot in the knock-out stages.
Limerick FC host the Waterford United under-20s on Sunday next at 2pm in the Pike Field. Limerick FC will then complete their under-20 programme away to Cork City on October 18 next.
