LIMERICK moved into possible promotion territory from Division Four of the National Football League with a quality 1-17 to 0-13 weekend defeat of Carlow at Dr Cullen Park.
Jimmy Lee’s side were the better side for the most part, and good scoring contributions came from James Naughton (1-6) and Josh Ryan (0-4).
The win, however, may have come with an injury cost after captain Cillian Fahy was forced off after just 15 minutes.
On the plus side, Danny Neville returned after a long lay-off.
Next up, Limerick host Tipperary at Mick Neville Park on Saturday at 6pm.
