Junior Season 2004/5 predictions

**backodanet** · 22/07/2004, 12:17 PM

think so - no one wants to manage them and some players are signing with other clubs they were lucky to survive last year in 1A only for the fact they had a great start and had enough points but then they fell apart and were struggling to get a team

Not a good club at all no minor team nothing...yet they ahve been rewarded with a free clubhouse and now there getting an all weather pitch and free pitchs......amazing for a team with no money....and look there sponsor is the same as ours..

wasn't the dutch guy (arthurs quay pharmacy) sponsoring them before Limerick - sponsors wembley too

thats how much Tommy Lynch is on at Shelbourne for the season. Official!

**Edgey** · 26/07/2004, 8:09 AM

I wonder is he paying tax on it?!

Hyde Rgs are taking Moyross' place in 1A.
aS FOR PREDICTIONS FOR NEW SEASON. hERE GOES
Prem Fairview r-up Pike
1a Corbally r-up Wembley (?)
1b Fairview b r-up Athlunkard
2A Shelbourne r-up St Pats
The Minors should be class with Corbally Wembley and Hill Celtic all in the running
It is amazing all the players stats quoted. Great credit is due to the local press for the coverage, scorers tables etc. No other county has it.

Have Hyde definitely taken up Moyross place in 1A. Last I heard both themselves and Pike B turned it down. I work in Dublin during the week so I missed the fixtures this week.

Any idea who's taking Hydes place in 1B?

**youe1** · 12/08/2004, 11:37 AM

Hyde are up. They are fixed to play Balla B in the first game but I hear Shannon might be appealing the decision.
Park Rgs B seem to be the club who gained in 1B AND bORO B stepped up from 2A

**Edgey** · 12/08/2004, 12:49 PM

Hyde will struggle big time in 1A. Like them as a club but they're final position last year flattered them. Herbertstwn destroyed them 4-0 up in Hyde and it could have been 10. My understanding was that there is a rule that if you were relegated that it was final and you couldn't stay up regardless of who pulls out so that shuld rule out Shannons appeal.

Any idea how strong Fairview B or Park B will be this season? What about the Moyross players where have they gone to? They had some good players there.

**youe1** · 12/08/2004, 1:01 PM

I agree with you I think Hyde will struggle. I also like them. I think Seamus Jackson and company deserve major recognition for the job with difficult schoolboys when others do not wanna know. That is until Hyde have developed them. Hyde could field a very good side of past players
I'm told Balla B and Shels have wiped Moyross dry.
Fairview B UNDER Andy Sheehan are getting back some old heads and Park Rgs will benefit from a big influx to the A team

**joeSoap** · 12/08/2004, 1:16 PM

Pike B have a great chance of 1B this season...they signed a few good players like Alan Morton and Eddie O Donovan, and already had a decent squad.

**Edgey** · 12/08/2004, 1:34 PM

That Eddie O' Donovan from Prospect Joe?! I hear Prospect have lost a lot of players. Leo Wong and a few of them are gone to St. Pauls.

Agree with you about Pike, if they can get a bit of consistency they'll have a great chance. With Herbertstown and Croom gone the division is wide open. i had heard that Pike have lost a few from the A squad though and some of the B lads would be moving up. Any truth in that?

Same Eddie O Donovan, but he was a pike man all of his life, before leaving a couple of seasons ago for Hill Celtic 'cos he could no longer get his place on the A team.
Wouldn't say they're going to lose too many to the A team....Pa Mul usually recruits a few from the Desmond and Clare leagues, and they already signed a few from Mungret.

**Edgey** · 12/08/2004, 1:48 PM

Mungret could struggle this season so. Who did Pike take off them?

**joeSoap** · 12/08/2004, 1:54 PM

Dara Droog, and some other guy, not too sure of his name.

**youe1** · 12/08/2004, 2:02 PM

Al Finucane. Mark Finucane is gone to Regional. They also lost a keeper and Timmy Reen is outta there.

**clownboy** · 13/08/2004, 8:34 AM

Timmy Reen signed with fairview B along with gary campbell from the Dines..Niall doran and alan daly from the minor team..John Hannon and Jimmy Long are back to compete for the GK position Stewart Fitz and Jodi Purcell were training with them last week .im not sure if they signed yet though..They will have a good side if they sign and im sure a couple of more minors have signed also.They are getting over 20 up training ...more than the a team

**inexile** · 17/08/2004, 9:18 AM

fairview a team are getting the numbers up training too though in fairness
looks like derek whyte has built a good squad with strength in all areas the only area they may be short is on the left side with Paul Harmon gone to America
