Limerick FC finally moved off the bottom of the eircom League First Division table following a shock 1-0 win over Bray Wanderers at Pike Rovers SG on Saturday.

A Keith Hartnett header on 72 minutes was enough to win the game and move the blues above Monaghan United on goal difference. The win, the second on the trot, was only their third of the season and comes seven days after Hartnett struck the winner against Cobh Ramblers.

His winner came after Ross Cosgrave's initial effort had been blocked by the Bray defence.

Bray Wanderers: O'Connor; O'Reilly, Charles, Lynch, Farrell, McGuinness, James, Tresson, Ryan, Zayed, Fox. Subs: O'Brien for Ryan (79), Manley for O'Reilly (79), Gormley for McGuinness (52).

Limerick: Fyffe, Aherne, Hayes, Finucane, Kulsten, Keating, Conway, Hartnett, Hughes, O'Mahony, CP O'Brien. Subs: Cosgrave for Aherne (39).

Referee: Aidan O'Regan
