I think we beat a record set by Bohs if we can win 15 in a row.

I asked the following on the main board

Longest winning run (league, and all comps also)
Longest unbeaten run
Consecutive games scored in
Points total
Goals scored in a season

Cheers Crafty, I think whatever the records are we have a good chance of breaking them ghis season.

Connected to that, I think Kilkenny City's winning margin of 11 points in 96/97 is the First Division record. Points wise, it's the 77 Cobh got in 2007 and for goals it's the 73 Cork scored in 2011. Since it became an eight team league, the 62 points Limerick got in 2012 and 63 goals Wexford scored in 2015 are records.

I think I read a week or two ago that the record wins from the start of the season is 11, set by Shamrock Rovers. Open to correction on this

Shamrock Rovers did achieve that in 1965/66 but Bohemians' 15 wins in a row was from the start of league season too.

Some of you Limerick fans seem to have forgotten that you won the last game of the league season in 2015 against Sligo which actually makes it 12 league wins in a row at the moment.

It was Limericks full squad tonight. Hall, Kelly, Whitehead, Williams, Tracey, Duggan, Lynch, Sean Russell, Trialist, Trialist, Aaron Greene all started. Holland, O'Connor, O'Connor, Costelloe, Feeney, Garbhan, O'Flynn, Mullhall, Mann, Kenny, Murphy, Trialist all came on also. I wouldn't call that a reserve team. Bar a few all of those players have been playing first team for us.

I also don't think 10 euro is bad. It was a friendly and a way for the club to pull in a few quid since they only have 1 home match in the space of a month. It was also an opportunity for people to pick up cup final tickets.

Was it well attended ?

Don't agree with this at all - if you're going to hold a friendly, you can hardly charge less than 10 euro for an adult.

Fair enough I posted that before the match and M Russell was saying he was going to use the whole squad giving the impression of a weakened team!
I still think e20 is too much for 1 adult +2 10 year olds tho and all season ticket holders!

I certainly wouldn't begrudge the club trying to make an extra few quid. Running the club is pretty expensive and with only one game in a month at home they needed some kind of revenue.
