Match Night Photographs

On Sunday Limerick FC hosted an exhibition match against the Liverpool Legends. The game went ahead despite some appalling weather.

As well as such iconic players as Ronnie Whelan and John Aldridge, local fans not only got a glimpse of some past Limerick Legends such as Ray O'Halloran, Tommy Lynch and Albert Finnin, but also some up and coming stars like Jason Hughes, Shane Tracey and Bobby Tier.

The game itself was an absolute cracker with the contrasting styles producing a fascinating encounter. Jason McAteer was in the thick of the action early on when a full blooded challenge with Albert Finnin laid down a marker to show that this was going to be a very competitive game. Moments later a quick thinking free kick by Gary McAllister gave Liverpool the lead.

Liverpool played some fantastic one touch football throughout, while Limerick tried to counteract with some energetic running and quick movement.

Limerick had to wait until late in the first half before they got off the mark, when two goals in as many minutes from John Tierney left the Limerick Selection 2-1 up at the interval.

Local Liverpool fans Karol Connellan and Liam Mulcahy got to play alongside their heroes through the online auctions the Club had run. Both players made the most of a memorable occasion.

Jason Hughes scored the goal of the game with a phenomonal strike from 30 yards into the top corner of Bob Bolder's net, which brought a huge cheer from everyone inside the ground. As the game progressed more legends were introduced on both sides, including Limerick FC manager Pat Scully who played the last 15 minutes of the game.

The match ended all square when Liverpool showed composure and class to score two late goals, with John Aldridge equalising with almost the last kick of the game.

The Liverpool Legends signed autographs for fans after the game before heading to the Strand Hotel for the post-match meal. The players recounted anecdotes from their professional careers and answered questions from fans. Then once dinner and the formalities were finished, everyone moved to the bar to socialise more freely.

Limerick FC would like to thank all the Liverpool Legends for taking part in the event. Their open and friendly approach made for a thoroughly enjoyable night.
