Limerick footballers are Belfast bound
LIMERICK'S team has been confirmed for Saturday's Allianz Football League round two tie with Antrim.
Billy Lee's Shannonsiders play The Saffrons in Corrigan Park in Belfast this February 5 at 2.30.
Injury rules out Mike Donovan, Bob Childs and Padraig de Brun, who were all forced off with knocks during the win over Longford last weekend.
