League of Ireland:Limerick 37's place in the second tier of the "new" League of Ireland was effectively confirmed yesterday when the FAI invited the club, recently granted a licence, to compete during the coming season.

"We are delighted that there will be an ongoing senior soccer presence in Limerick," said the league's director, Fran Gavin.

"Those involved with Limerick 37 represent all strands of the game so there will be plenty of interaction between the club and the rest of the football community in the Limerick area."

The club will play their home games on Friday nights at Jackman Park.
