David Conway pulled one back for the Blues on 88 minutes but, despite a late surge, they couldn’t snatch an equaliser.
Limerick remain three points adrift of Monaghan United at the bottom of the table but have played a game more than the Northerners.

Paul McTiernan knocked in the first on 21 minutes. Conor Frawley added the second on 32 before Steve Feeney got one back for the visitors on 41 minutes.

Meanwhile, a 90th minute strike from Kevin McHugh gave Finn Harps victory over Kilkenny City at Buckley Park and sent the Donegal men back to the top of the table.
