    We did well to get to the final,overall a good night for limerick soccer despite defeat ,the fitness thing is ongoing Russell needs a backstage clearout next season .it was a masterclass by Buckley tonight,managed the team superbly over the 90mins....plenty player limitations shown up on our side of things and the premier will highlight these regularly if not addressed by the manager.however its been a great season and enjoyed the entertainment tonight.

    Because they've never needed to play past 65 minutes before.

    You'd have to think he'll bite the bullet and get in an actual left-back instead of Tracy/Russell. Paudie O'Connor is going to be a great player and it's good to have an old pro like Williams beside him, but Williams himself isn't a Premier Division player. Hall is a great goalkeeper and has probably masked some of Limerick's inferiority in the Pats games.

    Robbie Williams is actually a left full-back but has been playing at left centre because he's good enough to play there in the first division. This allows Russell or Tracy to fill in at left-full but neither of them are left fullbacks. Get a proper left centre back in to play alongside O'Connor, and the fullbacks would be Williams and Kelly. That would be ok even for the premier.

    Our fullbacks were torn apart last night. Russell all night long, and after Kelly went off they got goals from the right hand side. It wasn't just an issue with the fullbacks though, they were asked to do too much in the second half as the rest of the team tired and we had less and less possession.

    Williams might have been a full back a couple of years ago but not at his current weight.
