Well after 4 weeks without L.O.I. football I finally got to see Limerick
again.  It was well worth it.  Limerick played as well as I've seen them play 
for many years.  Limerick dominated the first half but failed to score.  It
looked like a sure 0-0 draw but Johnny Walsh broke the deadlock just after 
the break.  He beat Ian Hill before shooting low and hard into the bottom 
corner.  Pats finally came out of their defensive shell and were unlucky not
to equalise when the crossbar saved Limerick.  Limerick regained control with
Barry Ryan looking very dangerous.  The game ended as a contest on 79 minutes
when John Ryan was dismissed for a vicous tackle on Barry Ryan.  Ryan had been
hacked down all day.  He got up after lengthy treatment to set up the 2nd goal
for Howard King but departed injured shortly afterwards.

Bohs have gone 2 points clear after a hard earned point in Sligo.  Fenlon 
scored early in the second half with Dykes equalising for Sligo.  This was a 
fair result and a very entertaining game.

Cork were well beaten in Dundalk but stay second.

Stephen Geoghegen was the hero as Rovers hammered 4 past Waterford.  He scored
all 4 goals but only played due to a thigh injury to Derek Swan and a bout of 
flu.   

I'll be away again next week so no reports.  I'll post the results again on
Nov 23rd.

  On being a football fan: "I am aware of the downside to this wonderful 
  facility that men have: they become repressed, they fail in their 
  relationships with women,their conversation is trivial and boorish, they 
  find themselves unable to express their emotional needs, they cannot relate
  to their children, and die lonely and miserable. But you know, what the hell?"
