The Limerick District League committee have announced that a Limerick District League selection will take on Limerick senior soccer club Treaty United to mark the 50th anniversary of Jackman Park on Carey’s Road.

Jackman Park is the headquarters of the Limerick District League Committee and hosts all the organisations’ weekly meetings.

In email correspondence to all junior clubs and local media, the LDL announced the friendly to mark the great milestone.
