Bring on Thursday

Not an excuse pal just stating facts, we have two of our best players definitely missing and possibly also our top goalscorer (who is 50/50), but thats what squads are for, so we'll plug away with what we have and see how we get on...........its a must win game for Caherdavin, a draw would do Star providing they win their last game away to Balla "B" which won't be an easy game either, so we'd rather not have to go to LIT looking for a win.

Caherdavin v Star should be a cracker, and may the best team win, and yes the loser will be playing 1A again next season (but only if Shannon beat Dromore).

Missing/injured players should not be used an excuse. Junior teams no matter what level are always missing players. Very rare a team can put out it's best team. Especially mid week games. As you say, that's what squads are for.

Should be a massive crowd at the Greenhills. I'd imagine Star will be hoping for a strong referee. Best of luck to both teams.

By the way, when was the last time Caherdavin played Premier football?

[Jofspring]

By the way, when was the last time Caherdavin played Premier football?

Caherdavin have never been in the premier before which makes the next two matches even bigger for the club.

[leather]

I think that caherdavin came close a few times before...late 80's they came close to premier and got to a lawson cup final...also in the mid 90's they were not that far away either...they used to play out in barry's cross at the time..

surely both teams would expect a strong referee,its a huge game and given caherdavins home defeat to shannon they will have plenty to prove.star will probably start favourites,hope its a good game though on THAT pitch i doubt it.

How do you maintain that Star will start the game as favourites??? especially considering they are away from home against a team that MUST win.
Caherdavin will definitely start the game as favourites with home advantage, home crowd and a good home record.

[Jofspring]

I don't think there are any favourites really. If you go by the league table both should be pretty evenly matched. I know Star only need a point but i'm sure they will be looking for the 3 as much as Caherdavin so both teams have as much to play for. If the Caherdavin vs Shannon match is anything to go by there should be a big crowd sown for this. I'm predicting a last minute winner from Caherdavin to win 2-1.

It's up for grabs now

[mysteryman]

abbeyvale with herbertstown withdrawing does it mean that the 2nd and 3rd from bottom teams get relagated or just the 2nd from bottom?? and if its just 2nd from bottom i presume herbertstown will be dropped a few divisions meaning three teams from each league from 2a down get promoted?? would that be correct??

They wont promote 3 teams from all those divisions. It may just be that 1B has a team less next season.

Im also backing Star to beat caherdavin in a close match 1-0.
Shannon have been nervy of late but should have enough to beat Dromore 2-0.

Prospect play their last match on tuesday while the other two bottom teams play thursday, i think that is stupid in fairness, if croom get a win on sat and we lose to Boro on tuesday then croom have nothing to play for in the last match V dromore who would then pass out prospect with a win.

The games should be played on the same day how hard would it be.

well mystery man,same thing happened to conagh last season and they got relegated to 3b from 1b i think,and three from 2a went up to 1b that was hospital who finished third,and corbally b who finished in 8th in 2b last season got promoted to 2a along wit the top 2 from 2b,so i presume that the same will happen nxt season maybe from 3b down if thats where they put herbertsown,but u never kno wit the ldmc they seem to be making new rules every season!

[francesco_1]

Prospect V Janeboro changed to Thursday 06/05/10 @ 18.30

Sence prevails.

[Jofspring]

LDMC also promoted, Caherdavin, Cappamore, Knockainey and Summerville from 3B to 3A this season so they could do anything with divisions depending on what teams are around next season.

Only ball hopping about the excuses part abbeyvale, as you say it will be a cracker and may the best team win, there are worse pitches than the greenhills(not many). Congrats on a great job on foot.ie this year you kept everyone on this thread happy with all your updates well done and the best of luck to both teams tomorrow night.

well done to star tonight... morton and lonergan with the goals..

[toonfanatic]

Shannon 6-1 Dromore.

0-0 half time.
Dromore missed penalty.
Shannon scored. Then Dromore player sent off for handball on the line (should have been free out 30 seconds prior), and Shannon scored penalty and ran riot.
Must win v Croom last day of season.

The croom match on sat night will be interesting, If Croom lose or draw prospect are safe, If they win Dromore would have win.

Balla won so they are safe they won 3-2 V's Granville

[blueboy2]

Boro are safe after tonights results Croom have 2 matches left to save themselves.
Dromore home to Croom and Prospect home to the Boro Thursday night will decide who goes down.

[toonfanatic]

between Prospect Croom and Dromore to go down. Dromore have to be favourites to go down I reckon.

[Lev Yashin]

Shannon 6-1 Dromore.

0-0 half time.
Dromore missed penalty.
Shannon scored. Then Dromore player sent off for handball on the line (should have been free out 30 seconds prior), and Shannon scored penalty and ran riot.

It wasn't missed....it was saved!! ;)

balla to do star a favour???????????????????????????????

balla to do star a favour???????????????????????????????

I dont think Star need a favour from Balla...Well capable of beating them without any help..

[gaiscíoch]

Congratulations to Shannon Town on promotion.
Big boost to football in Shannon to have a team in the premier.

[Lev Yashin]

balla to do star a favour???????????????????????????????

I doubt balla would do star a favour....this time last year we went outnto watch geraldines play balla hoping that balla would do us a favour and to be fair even though they had nothing to play for they still gave geraldines a good run...I wouldn't expect any different from them.

Congrats to Star on promotion.

good to see a shannon team in the premier (again)

[CupWinner99]

The croom match on sat night will be interesting, If Croom lose or draw prospect are safe, If they win Dromore would have win.

Balla won so they are safe they won 3-2 V's Granville

Were Granville short a few bodies or have Balla managed to put a few good results together at the right time of the season?

well done shannon and star rovers well deserved i hope we are in the prem to meet ye next season :clap:

[2legged tackle]

Well done Shannon Town. Best of luck in premier.:ball:

[the quiet 1]

Yes I heard that Granville were were short 4 or 5 players, Plus I would say they had 1 eye on there cup semi final on Sunday. Best of luck on Sunday

[toonfanatic]

Congrats to Shannon Town and Star. Star should wrap up the title against Balla i.m.o.

Change in management for Dromore for last game of the season.... should be interesting to see if it pays off. Couple of last years squad should break their way into the squad for the last game now. Must win V Croom...regardless of Croom v Charleville result

Fair play to Shannon, I hope most of their games wont be called off next year as the field they have is brutal.

[Lev Yashin]

Fair play to Shannon, I hope most of their games wont be called off next year as the field they have is brutal.

Most of our games weren't called off this year...but, you can put your mind at rest because we have invested heavily in our new pitch to bring it up to a decent playing standard.

[old git]

Fair play to Shannon, I hope most of their games wont be called off next year as the field they have is brutal.

to win promotion they must have played and won alot of games all season...!!!! i'm sure shannon town won some games on brutal pitches in limerick as well :D

[CupWinner99]

Fair play to Shannon, I hope most of their games wont be called off next year as the field they have is brutal.

Looking at the league table, I would say that there is only two decent pitches in the league.

Shannonman, ignore the begrudgers. Congrats and best of luck in the cup.

[leather]

dont know about shannon's pitch but i would say at least 4 good pitches..

[Lev Yashin]

Well janesboro's pitch is good as is balla's charleville granville dromore prospects can be a fine pitch depending on weather but that applies to alot of pitches...bottom line is you play half at home and half away from home so pitches don't really determine that much as both teams have to play on it...look caherdavins pitch lately as it's got harder and harder it has become a nighmare to play on and certainly hasn't helped them.

And anyway as I said there are two teams playing that have to adapt to a pitch...so the arguement is redundant
