The Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Kieran O’Hanlon is congratulating Limerick FC soccer club on winning the SSE Airtricity First Division League and gaining promotion to the top tier of domestic soccer.
“It’s a fantastic achievement to return to the Premier Division just one year after being relegated, but the manner in which Limerick FC has achieved the feat is a credit to the players and management,” he said.
“The dedication of the players and management teams, both on and off the pitch, show what can be achieved when we put our minds to it. We were all disappointed when ‘The Great Escape’ ended in disappointment in Donegal last year, but the dedication and commitment shown by all in Limerick FC when this season started in March, has resulted in the team claiming the First Division title and gaining promotion with six games to go,” he added.
“Limerick FC has breathed life back into the Markets Field since their return, and hopefully next year and in the years to come there will be more glory days,” The Mayor concluded.
