Football in Shannon 2014/15

So are both Shannon Hibs and Shannon town pulling out of the Limerick leagues? I've seen some people saying Shannon Town and others saying Shannon Hibs.

Shannon lite are not from Shannon they may have Shannon players but trade under the name Rineanna Rovers..

as for it is what is is ? crazy comment for a town the size of Shannon we should have better return with teams our near neighbours Newmarket have two teams and running away with premier league and b team finished 3rd in First division , tulla / corofin / bridge utd all ok in premier in clare this year so why cant Shannon produce decent teams to be up challenging for league titles

As don't panic says it is what it is. What do you think the solution is old git? I personally think that there are no young players coming through to play junior football in shannon.

Olympic are on 25points. 3rd place team has 34points. Is there 10points for last game of the season?

**don't panic** · 04/05/2015, 7:01 PM

Old git you are entitled to your opinion but it what it is. Due to the lack of commitment from players. From what I can see clubs are not getting the level of commitment from players that is required to have a successful team and no matter how big a town is unless you get that commitment, it is what it is

honestly I don't know maybe not enough young players coming through and clubs don't give them enough games for junior teams but I also think they are also lacking commitment to clubs and they find it to easy to move from club to club .. so do we dare mention the old theory of to many clubs in Shannon ??

Age old argument - 1 team in Shannon etc etc

For whatever reason, football in Shannon seems to be played by lads that just want to play for the social side of it. It doesn't seem to be taken seriously, or lads just don't want to put in the effort that could make them win stuff, and be successful. It's a real shame because potentially there could be a competitive side in Shannon.

if there was only one club maybe with a first team,b,c,etc....filter down the quality! too many clubs in the town for any of them to be successful. Two clubs max! Newmarket are the closest club to winning anything decent in Clare football, and there're still finding it hard to do that!

**Football-Unites** · 06/05/2015, 7:01 AM

Too many clubs makes it easier for lads to move from club to club. I reckon managers don't push back enough on the players, they just sign them knowing they can play football, but not knowing how committed the player is, or is not.

latest update looks like hibs now coming back to clare league also , but it wont be until the season after next seems they left it to late to rejoin for he comimg season

Wouldn't you think they would just bite the bullet and ask for imalgimation with shannon town.. hibs are going no where .. no schoolboys after u12s and only 1 junior team.. very sad to see.

**Coolcat** · 07/06/2015, 6:57 AM

It's really a waste of a season..should have put in the request to leave Limerick when they heard Shannon town were going..will it be hard looking for players now that this season means nothing to them..

**Shuffleruns** · 07/06/2015, 10:23 AM

You're including Newmarket as part of Shannon, it's not!
