Limerick Division 1A 2010/11

[lankyboy26]

Prospect have to play Summerville, Charleville, Wembley and geraldines

That's a really tough run-in

[mulla]

I can see the Dines beating Balla and will stay up. For me it has to be Balla for the drop. 4 points behind with 4 or 5 games left. They need to win at least 3 and hope Prospect dont pick up any points.

only problem with playing balla is its on in the evening time and they will have all there players available as they proved against fairview last night

Good point. When they have everyone available they're a decent side

[mulla]

dont think they'l have much bother stayin up, as regarding the hype, I saw a few of their games early on in the season where they lost a few games by the odd goal, which set them back clearly, 3 or 4 keepers they've been using too which really doesnt help a team, It can unsettle a team i think. In sayin that from the game I saw a few weeks ago against sville, they have some excellent young players, and keeping them for next season I have no doubt they will be in the top end of the table.`

ya they have been unlucky to be where they are but the good thing is is that its in there own hands to stay up, really good players, the 1 thing that has struck me this year is the ammount of chances against most teams in the games i've seen thay have missed

[reddevil10]

Shane madden isnt a bad player but e's not Fairviews best player, plus he has been out injured for last 6 weeks and wouldnt have lasted 90 mins

Ya make that around 8-10 weeks. He was also injured for a couple of weeks before christmas too, the view have played two thirds of the season without him and have done very well in the games he did'nt play so they are used of been without him. You need to put away your chances balla did and thats why they are in the semi's.

Stiill no excuse for view they had a big squad available on the night but too many players did'nt perform.

[booster 03]

maddens an excellent centre half in fairness, would walk onto most teams in town if he was fit and able

ability wise this is probably true but his attitude leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion

Fact of the matter is he brings a presence none of last nights center halfs bring with his aerial ability alone.The 2 center halfs were ran ragged in the 1st half hour last night and tamely beaten in the air for the second goal despite balla having only 1 man in the box and fairview 3.

Geraldines should be OK so..They are playing them next sunday morning :)

[squirmy]

Think Balla will stay up. But it will be close, Could go to jackman park.

[lfc at heart]

last game of the season is Geraldines v Prospect could be an interesting game

If he is as good as ye are all making him out to be why is'nt he playing with the A team ?

Get a life for yourself on here talking about a fellas attitude for a poxy game of junior soccer.You were dissapointing yourself the other night

[lankyboy26]

It could go to a play-off alright. Sure didn't it happen 2 years ago when Prospect beat Cappamore in a relegation play-off

Wembley 1 Summerville 0
Not a great match Summerville had the Chances in the first half to go in a couple of goals up but lost their way in the second half constantly giving away frees in the wrong end of the field. Dident do anything either to change things to get a goal back both teams will struggle in the premier league.

Its a bit harsh to say both will struggle in the Prem based on one performance, especially being midweek, with guys missing due to work and so on.
I heard Wembley keeper made a few saves and kept Wembley in it

Croom v Granville (Wed 30/03/11 @ 19.30 in Jackman Pk).


He made one particular save from a corner, if we saw it on tv we would say it was world class, Summerville piled on the pressure when it was too late and Wembley just about deserved the win

[OneTwo]

I'd have to agree with that, as ridiculous as it may sound, wembley keeper mad that outstanding save in 2nd half as well as at least 2 others that most keepers wouldnt have got near. He was without doubt the man of the match.
And wembley just slightly better than Summerville in most positions tonite i think.
3 wins out of 3 for wembley v summerville this season

[passandmove]

Ya poor performance from us but we won which is the main thing,ya morgan was top class the save from the header was unbeliveable,good players win you games and morgan has been 1 of the best in town for many years now.

Granville-Croom 1A Cup Quarter-Final
Huge match tonight for us. Our entire season now comes down to 90 minutes. We are safe in the league and not going up, so failure against Croom would spell disaster. They still have an outside chance of promotion, but I am not so naive as to presume they won't come at us with all guns blazing. It has all the makings of a classic cup tie. We are on a pretty decent run since Christmas, with a 5-3 record. Still no draws this season remarkably. We are at full strength(almost) for the first time in months and so we will give it a massive effort. Hopefully we'll get through and keep our season alive and kicking for another few weeks yet. Anyone from around the division looking for a right good game drop by headquarters this evening. Should be a real humdinger. I'd take 5-4!! :)

[WizardOnTheWing]

Your dead right Zizou, should be a very good game... 1 all after full time, Granville to win on penalties.

[passandmove]

Croom are a tough nut to crack in fairness to them,but as zizou said there season is on the line so should be a cracker,massive games in both the cup and league over the next week so it will be interesting to see how it all pans out.

[lfc at heart]

I think if Croom have a full team they will shade it 2-1

[lankyboy26]

they had a full team to-night and out classed Granville all over the field, 5-2 to croom, great win for them.

[blueboy2]

Croom were the better team alright one wonders if they had that team out every week where they would be now in the league.
Pip Moloney and George Daffy stood out i wonder what teams they have left to play in the league.

That's true pal. But you could say that about a few teams. We were well in contention up to January then lost players to hurling etc. If Summerville beat Prospect this weekend they are up practically

Is this not only his 1st or 2nd full season back?His golf game must be suffering if he's back in form.

If I was a betting man I would go for a draw, Prospect are capable of beating most teams on their day but Summerville have a good defence

All over as a contest at half time.Granville very dissapointing, where was the team that they put out against Wembley few weeks ago.They looked like they put out a minor team.Couldnt understand it, they must have had 8 or 9 subs togged out. Dont get me wrong croom were the stronger team by far, Pip up forward was a constant threat. Croom seemed to me to run out of steam in the last 20 mintues but the damage was already done. Conceeded a goal towards the end but was only a concellation for Granville. The better team went through to semi final and sets up a great encounter between wembley and themselves.

Ha Ha thats what i like about you Abbey your sense of humour.
Of course you would need one having to play with Star Rvs every week.

[Zizou]

Granville 2-5 Croom
No excuses, no passing the buck, no taking it away from Croom. This scoreline tells the whole story. They were better than us in every department, first to every ball, winners of every second ball. It was men against boys. We were 2-0 down before we knew what hit us and 4-1 down at half time. P. Judge gave us our only 1st half boost with a goal which at the time actually gave us a brief glimpse of hope. It didn't last. D. Henehan(spellcheck?) scored a cracker late on for us to put a small bit more respectability on the scoredboard, but no denying a rampant Croom. They simply wanted it more on the night. Congratulations to them, and the very best of luck for the rest of the competition. I honestly think if they play like that they will win it out. The rebuilding towards next season starts now for Granville Rangers. We'll learn from this and come back better next season.
Our man of the match, no question, the excellent 17 year old: Cian Collins.

[passandmove]

Great result for croom who in fairness have been on a great run since the new year,if croom were to win their last 4 league games they would reach 47 points which would set a stiff target for the top 2,its most definetly no longer a 2 horse race for promotion.
