Barry McNamee:
Derry City are back on track after beating bottom of the table Limerick this evening.
A Barry McNamee penalty settled any Derry nerves midway through the first half before a Mark Timlin stunner just before the game settled matters.
Derry played some lovely football after the break.
They were never under threat and almost added a third when a Philip Lowry effort was brilliantly saved by Conor O’Donnell just before the end.
Limerick have now gone nine games without a win, so tonight’s result might some gloss on Derry.
But it will act as a confidence boost for Peter Hutton’s men.
Limerick: Conor O’Donnell, Sean Harding, Robbie Williams (Tony Whitehead 90’), Aidan Price, Paul O’Connor, Shane Duggan, Dean Clarke, Vinny Faherty, Shane Tracey (Kieran Hanlon 72’), Sean Russell, Jason Hughes (Ian Turner 72’).
Derry City: Gerard Doherty, Dean Jarvis, Seanan Clucas, Shane McEleney, Barry McNamee, Philip Lowry, Patrick McEleney (Nathan Boyle 90’), Sean Houston Mark Timlin, Seamus Sharkey (Ryan Curran 75’), Aaron Barry.
Referee: Derek Tomney.
