NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION THREE:Limerick 0-14 Roscommon 1-10
LIMERICK MANAGER Mickey Ned O’Sullivan praised his side after they snatched a dramatic stoppage time one-point win over Roscommon at Kilmallock on Saturday.
“This is a team of grafters and good footballers and it is going to be very hard to narrow our panel down to 30 when the time comes.”
A goal from Gary Cox put Roscommon level ten minutes from the end and they went in front three minutes later with a point by substitute Jonathan Dunning.
Cox tacked on another Roscommon point but Limerick hit back with points from Ger Collins, Stephen Lucey and Stephen Lavin before Karl Mannion seemed to have earned a draw with a superb Roscommon point. However, with three minutes of stoppage time played, sub Kieran O’Callaghan got Limerick’s winning point.
