FIRST DIVISION CHAMPIONS Limerick FC dominate the division’s 2012 Team of the Year, announced by the PFAI on Tuesday afternoon.
Pat Scully’s men have five representatives from their promotion-clinching season with captain Pat Purcell joined by defensive partner Shane Treacy, midfield duo Joe Gamble and Stephen Bradley, and striker Rory Gaffney.
Fellow promotion hopefuls Waterford United fill three of the positions. Blues goalkeeper Packie Holden is named between the sticks with midfield general Gary Dempsey and Sean Maguire, one of the league’s joint-top scorers with 13 goals, also recognised.
Longford duo Noel Haverty and Keith Gillespie earn nods for their role in helping Town to the promotion play-offs while Athlone defender Brian McCarthy is the only player from a club outside the top three to make the final cut.
