With the absence of a number of regular first team starters, Limerick began with a diamond 4-4-2 shape with a midfield comprising of Darren Murphy and Shane Tracy with Cian Coleman and Barry Maguire higher up the pitch. Danny Morrissey partnered Conor Ellis up front while Colman Kennedy made his first home start at centre-back.

Limerick created the first half chance of the game as a Shane Tracy free-kick was flicked goalwards by Colman Kennedy but was easily saved by former Bray goalkeeper Stephen McGuinness. Midfielder Murphy tried his luck from distance but the weak strike sailed wide of the goal.
