Limerick Premier Division 2011/12

[prawnsandwich2]

Well done to Pike, worthy champions. Fairview must have done 5 in a row in the 90's. Fitting that Pike have won 6 out of the last 7 years that the Fran Mullally throphy was up for grabs. Looking at it last night, it's the nicest trophy I've ever seen.

fairview did four in a row....not five

[Minesapint]

I Think balla won it once i stand to be corrected.

[tedd11]

Fairview 1-1 Corbally. A good display by us thIs morning played in a gale.unlucky not to win.a few top class saves from richie Ryan in fairview goal to be fair.safe for another season although the last few weeks have been disappointing with amount of points we have thrown away.a lot of improvement needed for next season from a defensive point of view

[passandmove]

Wembley 7 Star 1,poor game to be fair tops off a very good season for us and of course a poor 1 from star,tough on them best of luck to them next season.

Congrats to pike on them winning the division..super achievement again despite the begrudgers... at the bottom end, fair play to corbally and ashling for surviving in corballys case there points total didnt reflect their squad imo, i think they will improve next season... also a quick note on my old pals from wembley, great season boys, to the senior lads like finnegan, sheehan and morgan up there ye can wander off into the sunset now...hahahaha... well done lads, massive respect to ye

[passandmove]

The only place those 3 will be wandering off to is rathuard at the start of july..........still have plenty to offer no fear of that,only 3 points off 3rd spot after coming up from 1a great achievement.Have to go strenghten again though and keep our best players....interesting summer ahead.

Great post Booster, few years left in Finny and Pa, not sure about lewis tho...You never know ha ha...Best of luck to Summerville and i dont mean it in a bad way, im sure ye will be right up there at the top with Star come towards the end of next season.

[Man on]

Booster totally agree with you . Wembley had a super season and totally played to their strenghts with a good brand of football , they recovered well after a difficult start due to the fixtures they got. Aisling rallied well towards the end and some of the fixtures they received at the end helped as many of the teams they played were out of cup etc, but having said that they needed to earn the points and they did. Corbally should probably never been in the position the Touhy cup run took a lot out of their squad but i would say they lost 7/8 games by a single goal they should improve next year. Star unfortunately were simply not good enough and for a club with such great tradition they deserved more from their players with rumours they had 8 players 20mins before the most important game of the league last week. there are some good lads there in Morton , mcnamara and hannon and Pat Boland deserved more. summerville were not good enough but you have to admire them getting 14/15 guys a week out for match's and training.


Nxt year will be more competitve again outside the top two as Gerldines and Shannon Hibs should be decent sides with great chances of staying up.

Good luck to Jansboro in the MJ but the **** will hit the fan if they do not win i expect. Also good luck to Pike and Balla in the Lawson should be a much better game then the recent league match. Congrats to Connie in Pike for turning around Pikes season at the business end when it counted.

[Second]

Man on..Has the last fixtures of 1A been cancelled ..very disrespectful towards Shannon town and caherconlish .. And charleville for that matter.. I do think hibs will go up but to pressume they are up already is a bit premature .. But I disagree with your comments I think Geraldines will be fine in premier but any of the other 3 promotion hopefuls will struggle big time in premier

Wembley and carew pk had great seasons, AA, regional, and balla For me were a big disappointment, fairview were unlucky with injuries, has the corbally manager resigned.

[Man on]

Complete oversight not been one bit disrespectful. for some reason i thought they were up but i expect them still to be promoted.

[Man on]

I think i heard Corbally manager has through work committemnts along with Carews Denis Griffin and Views Stuart Fitz

finnys throws will keep him there for a few more years anyway..haha, as for that lewis fella hes only a spring chicken yet, life in the old dog yet...as for sville, i dont know what direction where going to go, bit of shuffling badly needed during the summer. im sure the club will be back premier again soon enough again

Your correct man on regarding Corbally manager ken kinsella.unfortunately he won't be involved next season due to work commitments.pity really cause he done a great job this year,think the players let him down with afew results in the league but the team had decent cup runs.his assistant donach o shaughnessy who managed the team for a number of years is also stepping down after 7years involved with squad due to family commitments.best of luck to both lads, Both Corbally thru and thru and we hope to see them supporting us behind the fence next season

[tedd11]

Would just like to also thank abbey vale for updating the fixtures and tables all season.a great job as usual and a big help to the forum.thanks again

Who will step in.

Who's taking the VIEW job...... whoever it is will have there work cut out.... lot of guys will move on i think

[widow]

fairview were crippled with injuries this year, I reckon if they get those lads back and add a few more they could be up there challenging again. It was only two years ago they won an FAI.

[hotspur]

Paul O Donnell's name has being mentioned but he'll surely stay with Dines and probably take a few view players,could possibly take a few of their 19's,didn't he manage them to FAI Youth's cup?Wouldnt be a bit surprised to see chucka go back their as well.Ray McMahon the new balla manager.bit of a surprise there.

[WizardOnTheWing]

Heard Tommy Barrett, chucka going back to Dines next season...Some squad then. Ray Mc to Balla, looks like Caherdavin's attempts to pay for a manager didnt work out.!!!

Two good signings if true,good friends with Donner's as well,would bring great experience to Geraldine's,

all speculation at the moment....
i heard jeffrey judge is going back to fairview ...but that does not mean it will happen

Go back,haha.

[prawnsandwich2]

Go back,haha.

we shall see...expect something on the managerial side in the next few weeks..
think when it happens it's us who will be laughing

[Man on]

Is Barry Ryan getting involved with Ray McMahon with Balla?? Fairview will struggle without chukka more then any other player if the rumours are he is leaving are true great player for them.

Corbally will need to replace the two lads leaving otherwise they will be in danger of going significantly backwards. They have a good squad but will need to add also.

Is Albert Slattery going back in with Carew?

Pep Guardiola????.

[prawnsandwich2]

Pep Guardiola????.
well if ye can fly conor kavanagh home from aussie(according to one of yere bandwagon crew)surely we can fly him in from spain(by the way i bet you looked up the spelling of his name before you posted):eek:

[hotspur]

Any truth Aidan Ryan getting Pike job,and Albert Finnin boro job?Don't think considine will leave pike,if boro don't win munster junior next week hanlon and co will be ran out the gate again,so maybe the Finnin rumour could be true,He will have 7 assistants so he will be ok on that count.

did connie retire yesterday? he will be a loss to pike, if boro lose which i think they wont braddish will have to step down, it has been a poor season for the players that are there.

[tedd11]

Who will step in.
Not sure to be honest minesapint.a few names been thrown about but nothing concrete yet from what I've heard

[Treaty Gooner]

Heard from an FAI RDO that Connie got a job with the FAI and had to resign as a result. Good luck to him if he did.

Heard yesterday he has signed back with Limerick?

[theboywonder8]

Don't think they can sign back till July Tedd,so I doubt very much he has signed back.

[Jofspring]

Don't think they can sign back till July Tedd,so I doubt very much he has signed back.

He was there last night in his Limerick FC gear helping out with the warm up before the Liverpool game. Have heard he wants to give LOI another crack and can sign back in June.

Thought it was July,so he hasn't signed back so yet.

Presume not till the junior season is officially over anyway. Don't know the specifics.

Any update on the Management front lads!!

[Fairkop]

are we to assume that kavanagh and judge will both be absent from the pike engine room next season.?if so big boots to fill.

Well Kav is in oz,don't know what Judgy is doing but the Limerick lads reckon he's going back to them,Good luck to the boy if he is.Sean Kelly and John Tierney will fill their boots I'm sure,They've both played in engine room a lot this season.So no worries in that dept I'd say.

Eoin Bennis & Eddie Hickeys name floating around the Fairview club....... Any truth... Also Aidan Ryan tipped to take the pikeys

That won't happen,hickey and Bennis maybe,Ryan for pike is a def no no,Pike have a manager.

no one will be appointed to the fairview position until the new committee is in place.
i have also heard other names being mentioned (along with the two lads), but it would be unfair to mention them at this stage

I could be wrong but did Eddie Hickey apply for that job when Stuart and Kevin did and was shot down,Why would he be interested now?
