Limerick FC continued their unbeaten start to the SSE Airtricity Premier Division season with a 1-1 draw against Bohemians at the Markets Field.
However, the Super Blues were within touching distance of securing all three points only to be denied by a 90th Eoghan Stokes equaliser for Bohs.
Despite the late concession, Barrett felt that a draw was a fair result. “I think first half they were probably better but we were better in the second half,” said Barrett.
“If Marky O’Sullivan scores the second one it’s game over. They didn’t really look like scoring in the second half. I felt we were nice and compact and we looked more dangerous on the break. These things happen. We move on.”
Limerick went ahead on 59 minutes when Cian Coleman turned in Shane Duggan’s cross come shot and it looked at that stage that Barrett’s side were all set for two wins from their two games this season but Stokes’ goal ensured Bohs returned to Dublin with a share of the spoils.
Limerick travel to Oriel Park on Tuesday to take on winless Dundalk on Tuesday and Barrett is bullish about his side’s chances of getting a result.
When asked if he thought Limerick can come away from Louth with a positive result he said: “Of course I do. We think we can go everywhere and get a result. There is no point in going out if you think you’re not going to get a result.
“We will have to look and see who will play. We have three games in a week with Shamrock Rovers on Saturday as well and at this time of year that does matter.
“The lads are still getting used to 90 minutes. We only had four pre season games but that’s why we have a squad. We have a lot of younger players as well and we won’t be afraid to use them.”
