Premier Division fixtures 20/21 October.

**seand** · 20/10/2017, 1:12 PM

I think it's a bridge too far for Harps. Two winnable games, but even two wins will surely not be enough, with Sligo presumably winning at Drogheda next week one point for Pats (or 2 for Galway) puts them down. You'd think Galway really need to win in Limerick to have any chance.

Gonna be interesting viewing watching from the outside.

And my belated congratulations to Derry on avoiding relegation that time they played in the First Division a season after playing in the Premier.

Same story at Cork really.

It's not much comfort to the likes of Pat's, but I thoroughly enjoyed our year in the First Division. It wasn't as disastrous as we thought it would be. We won most matches, played some great football, our crowds actually went up compared to the previous year and you'd the novelty of travelling to different away grounds. One season was enough though.

Just that both were 'removed' from the Prem Div then!

Removed from the entire league, I'll have you know. We don't do things by half!

Yet come back claiming to be the same club....
It's been a while since we had this argument.

I understand the sentiment. I think we were wrong to vote for a 10 team league, and I'm not just saying that because of where we are. I don't wish relegation on anyone (except Shels back in the day, that gave me a laugh) however I'll be praying for a Limerick win tonight. They owe us after stealing a point in Richmond a couple of weeks ago. We need to do the business ourselves though, and talk of Cork not turning up makes me nervous.

Harps Vs Drogheda OFF

**WoodquayBoy** · 20/10/2017, 6:28 PM

Teams yet to be announced in Limerick because . . . Mr Buttimer apparenty insisting one team changes jersey. Blue and maroon too similar?

**micls** · 20/10/2017, 6:33 PM

8 changes for us. Plenty of lads fighting for a cup final spot so hopefully it'l be a decent game anyway.

Kick off in Limerick 8.10. Galway conviently forgot their 2nd strip. Refused an offer of Limerick white gear. Only in the LOI.

**CorribsideSteve** · 20/10/2017, 6:59 PM

Pats 1 down. Lots of early pressure via corners for Cork. Ball falls to Williams and very tidily he takes two touches to finish from a few yards out. Take that.

**CorribsideSteve** · 20/10/2017, 7:02 PM

Killian Brennan goes close with an effort from 20 yards after another great chance moments earlier for them. Pats not lying down. More goals in this game by the loos of it.

**gael353** · 20/10/2017, 7:03 PM

Anthony buttimer reffing in limerick just saying

**CorribsideSteve** · 20/10/2017, 7:05 PM

WHAT a goal from Sadlier. Cork playing with freedom tonight. Very tough on Pats as they were getting to grips with the match. Thats one of the goals of the season.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 20/10/2017, 7:05 PM

2-0 Cork. All the motivation Galway need.

**Dalymountrower** · 20/10/2017, 7:05 PM

Cork still in party mode, 2 up, cracker from Sadlier.This could be a 4:3

**pineapple stu** · 20/10/2017, 7:09 PM

If Limerick beat Galway, I guess the three relegation teams are decided? Galway v Dundalk last round.

Pats 2-0 down is going to put the jitters up them. I'd like to see them go down for the craic. And for voting for the 10-team league too

Mr Buttimer decided that Limerick’s blue kit and United’s white kit clashed because Limerick’s blue kit has a white sleeve. I mean, seriously?

**CorribsideSteve** · 20/10/2017, 7:12 PM

2-1 now. Jordi Balk two yard header. Great response from Pats. Cork went to sleep after going 2-0 up. Galway need to win tonight in Limerick regardless, as I can see Pats drawing this game.
