It's mark and stop giving him a big head.He knows hes good already.How do people think corbally and wembley will fair out?

I fancy Corbally after their big win last weekend, but then again Wembley can play nice football at times.
I cant see Corbally losing though.

Ya i cant see corbally losing to wembley at home either. Should be a good game. I predict Corbally 3-2 Wembley.

Well the players above I named were all of one age group (minor), add to that the players a year ahead of us that were just out of minor, plus the players that were just U-17 coming into minor, and I'd say you'd be talking a top 3 Prem team today easily.

Pike U-16's, arguably one of the best from Limerick, Alan Barry, Karl Meehan(best of the lot IMO), Pa McGarry, Dermot Phelan, Pat Purcell(If I remember correctly), Noel Noonan, etc. Funny how clubs are still hoarding players under-age to the present day..

Man they were some ropey haircuts!!good picture though!!

As for hula, an average centre half, solid if nothin else, still at the moment the boro could do with him!!

He went for that haircut again a few years back.He looked the same and as you can probably tell,it didn't suit the second time round either.

I remember many a battle against them, and we won more than we lost against them.
Team (as per picture).
Back row : Alan Barry, Noel Noonan, Kieran Stewart, Anthony Bourke, Donal Lavery, Pat Purcell, Dermot Phelan.
Front Row : Jodie Delany, Ger Nash, Pat McGarry, (?), Karl Meehan, Jamie Dundon.


To answer one of the above questions, Jamie Dundon is signed with Hill Celtic this season as far as I know and why wouldnt he be a fine player back in the day??? He was 2/3 years overage and got away with it for years (as he produced a false birth cert, and he'll tell you that himself).

[Abbey Road]

he played with granville until the kennedy cup then went to pike for under 15s and 16s after that, i was on the bench for the same team under Pa Mul and we would have been a couple of years younger than that team

[Abbey Road]

is it mark hula ye are on about if so he played interfirm with us this summer still a great player

Top player is Mark Houlihan and still young!Would walk on to any premier team in town at present.

I dont think it is...........I would remember his name if I heard it again..........but a Paul Finucane doesnt ring a bell.

[Abbey Road]

I'm an honest man as you know!!!

Will leave subject lie just for you.Unfortunately others will agree on my opinion on you.To hell with any begrudgers...............

[Green_Hoop]

Its amazing to see the few who made it through to play at premier level in Limerick, Its mostly down to the attitude of the player.

its def not paul as he wouldn't have been old enough, and the pike under 16's team he was on would have had gary power, jamie o'brien, and i think niall mc played with em up as far as 16's, just before he signed for forest, could be wrong though

The question mark in the photo is Matthew Bashford. He plays the bagpipes or something like that and travels around the world doing it. Or so I'm told anyway..

Very true... ive seen average underage players become very good premier players and exceptional under age players loose interest and end up playing in lower divisions...The right attitude does give players an edge...

think that was about 1992-1993 - some of them played on the youth OT team the lost in the final on peno's (i think gordon missed the vital one)

Didn't realise alan barry was that old.Does that donal lavery guy play with abbey now?

yes dom did play.didnt know the keepers name but he was outstanding the same day as far as i remember.

[Abbey Road]

It was actually Paul Flynn who plays with Waterford hurling that was in goals that day!He did get the Man of the Match award but Billy Tynan was to be given it only for Waterford winning the penalty shoot out and your man Paul Flynn saving most of them.

[lifegoeson]

anyone from granvile on here,
hows robbie doing for ye in goals

[awiseman]

he has some pain in his back i'd say from picking the ball out of the net

[Easy Easy]

-------------------------------------------------------
Wouldnt say it has anything to do with attitude
More like good players having lifes to live and not wanting to take local football as serious as some people!
Because the Premier is pretty poor these days (probably due to the average players with the good attitudes),whether your in the Premier or 3b its all the same really just as long as your enjoying yourself with mates!

Would not say the premier is poor but in my opinion the standard has dropped as the years have gone on.I believe that a lot of the top teams now would not have lived with the top teams of the 80's and 90's.

[oscar]

you'd still do a job i'd say

[abbeyvale]

Didn't realise alan barry was that old.Does that donal lavery guy play with abbey now?


yeah Lavery is with Abbey but mostly concentrates on the GAA with Claughaun.

[tedd11]

how did ye get on against wembley today dared?what was the result in the game?

[Futebol]

Corbally 3-1 Wembly. Corbally were by far the better team despite their first goal coming against the run of play.The two centre halves and keeper were a bit shakey at the start. They could have won by a lot more in the second half which they dominated. Wembly threatened very little and when they did it came from long through ins from Brian Finnegan. Things could really turn around considering they have most of the top teams played and they have some of their better players to come back for the second half of the season.

[halo16]

thats a good win for corbally.they seem to be getting the better of the teams down around them in the league.another win or 2 and i can definately see them staying up and finishing comfortably in mid table.anybody have the scorers for them?

I think we were yeah... they had a couple of good spells but overall we we're the better side on the day. Good performance overall and with a few guys coming back from injury over the coming weeks we should hopefully be stronger next time we play the sides above us.:o
