shame to see some of clare's finest making the move into limerick its a step up football wise but also a lot of travelling to training & games and fairview have fallen a bit behind the top teams in the limerick preimer so it may be a difficult season. any news on rinnenna rovers making a return to the clare league,

What are yer thoughts on shannon hibs entering a team into the u19 league??

[Zizou]

Hermitage F.C lads. We (Granville Rangers) have a friendly Friday evening against them. Whats their set up like? Are they one of the stronger teams in Clare?

What are yer thoughts on shannon hibs entering a team into the u19 league??

Well with Limerick not having a 19's league and Hibs having a 19's team, its a good thing that the Clare league will will have an extra team.

[dirtfree]

Hermitage would have a fairly good footballing team .. Saw them play once last year and they were impressive ,try to play the game the right way..

Their clubhouse/dressing rooms, pitch quality??

[dirtfree]

Not sure if they still play in fairgreen or moved to lees road they are both owned by co council, ok pitches no dressing rooms or showers in fairgreen but good facilities in less road .

Thanks mate, appreciate the info. Hopefully we'll be in the Lee's Road. Don't fancy driving home covered in muck! :)

Hermitage play in the Fairgreen not Lee's Road. Pitch shud be alright this time of year but its nothing special. Dressing rooms are poor, normally away teams will tog off at their cars

[squire]

Are buratty/cratloe not entering a b team this year lads?

[fifty50]

I hear there steuggling for an A team aswell.

[Lev Yashin]

Result from last night--
Friendly

Lifford 1 Geraldines 3

[DSMALL1]

Was at the game on Wednesday, Geraldines look a good team as for Lifford still think they are short two three players to be challenging for honours come the business end of the season.

[Second]

If this is true it would be an awful shame..

Lifford 1 Geraldines 3

How are Lifford looking this year I've heard they have lost pa mannion patrick darcey and Scott Hennessy .. Have they brought in any new players

[footballfriend]

Any transfer news?seems v quiet..2nd side of league cup looks tough.

[fifty50]

Heard last night Stephen hickey has been training with avenue. Seems he had a falling out with rock. Great for avenue but disaster for rock

[Second]

With all due respect to the lad but he's a centre forward who hasn't scored more than 3 league goals in any of the last 3 seasons..Gaa will always be his 1st preference. So not really a great signing but an ok signing for avenue ..

[DSMALL1]

Any word on buntatty / cratloe? Getting close to the start of the season, have they a management team in place?

[Bayern Munchies]

I dunno where you've heard they've lost Pat Dary, because he's signed with Lifford, the other two have left though as far as I'm aware...

[Zizou]

Hermitage play in the Fairgreen not Lee's Road. Pitch shud be alright this time of year but its nothing special. Dressing rooms are poor, normally away teams will tog off at their cars

Did us no harm in the end!! :) Won 1-0.
Good side Hermitage, enjoyable game on a decent pitch.

[AC Melon]

Friendly game tomorrow...Lifford vs Shannon Hibernians..

[Bayern Munchies]

Where is this on as Lifford playing 2nite as well .. Very hard on lads to play 2 nights in a row..

On in Shannon, will be tough for the Lifford lads, but will help the match fitness for the season ahead. I'm sure that they've the squad to manage it too.

How are ye shaping up for the season??

[DSMALL1]

Hi Jenventuz , Any report on the game? scorers? How did Lifford play?
heard your player of the year from last year has done the dirty :)

[Hibs7772]

How are ye shaping up for the season??

Lifford did well for the first 25 minutes and dominted possession but seem to fade away after that, probably tired considering they had a match the night before. Hibs scorers were Bj cantillon, Ryan Kelly (2) and Jay Regan with the last, not sure on the Lifford scorers, they had a few handy Players though, they should do better than they did last season i would say. Yeah Gav O Donnell has left us for Shannon town along with Ken buckley, Two big loses but we are hoping we have the squad to deal with it, brought in a few new faces ourselves being Gareth Quirke, Eddie Dunne and Jay Regan and then there a few promising young lads the likes of Alex Cole and Jack Kelly who have done exceptionally well in pre season.

Lads this is the Clare League thread in case ye haven't noticed so can we nip all this Shannon Hibs rubbish in the bud now. Nobody here cares about how they're gettin on in pre-season or who is/isn't playin for them so can ye please ship off to the Limerick or Wesley Webb thread

[dirtfree]

Mike if you don't like it don't read it.. Now go back into your hole and chillax.. If you aren't totally blind the report is about both Lifford and hibs ..

Someone is taking the thread title a bit too seriously I think:p

dirtfree any more rumours about players leaving clubs olympic have lost approx 5 players from last years squad so it seems to be happening to all the shannon teams .. that mike basset is after my name only he would be called a cranky old git

[dirtfree]

Don't know much about Olympic .. Follow limk league more but have an interest in both.. From earlier post J regan has gone to hibs from Olympic ..but I suppose 1 Shannon teams loss is another Shannon teams gain.. Players jump clubs in limk all the time..as so many teams in the city..

[dirtfree]

As for mikebassett .. Cranky old git would be too good for him

heard both regans training with hibs but only jay signed so far and goalkeeper finished playing as well ,seems to be no loyalty in staying with your clubs anymore in clare or limerick and personally i still think we will see a few more players moving when transfer window opens in oct/november

[Lev Yashin]

Anyone know when the fixtures come out??

While I agree with you that there is a severe lack of loyalty these days I think its pretty harsh to say it about him and the keeper. The keeper was fairly old I'm sure so he probably thought it was time to retire and hasn't Regan played with Olympic pretty much forever? Can't blame the man for showing a bit of ambition especially when he has given a good few years service to a club.
