Limerick’s Season Fades as Sligo Secures Victory Limerick footballers’ hopes of prolonging their season were extinguished on Saturday evening as they bowed out of the championship to a determined Sligo side. The clash at Markievicz Park proved to be one-sided as Sligo seized control from the outset. The home team dominated possession and carved out the first scoring chance, but it was Limerick who struck the opening blow through Eoin Hanrahan’s well-taken goal. However, Sligo responded swiftly and ruthlessly, notching up three unanswered points to level the scores. As the half progressed, Sligo’s dominance became increasingly apparent. They piled on the pressure, forcing Limerick to defend desperately. The visitors held firm for a time, but Sligo’s persistence paid off in the 25th minute when Niall Murphy found the net to put his side ahead. The second half followed a similar pattern, with Sligo dictating the tempo and Limerick struggling to keep up. Adrian Marren extended Sligo’s lead with a well-taken point, and the home team continued to pile on the misery with further scores from Kevin McDonnell and Mark Breheny. Limerick’s resistance finally broke in the 55th minute when Marren netted Sligo’s second goal. The visitors’ spirit was crushed, and the game petered out with Sligo comfortably in control. The match ended with Sligo emerging victorious by a convincing 2-11 to 1-6 margin. Limerick’s season comes to a close, while Sligo advance to face Antrim in the next round of the championship.This is an HTML code snippet that defines the layout of a web page.
