Limerick Division 1A 2013/14

[don't panic]

When talking about amalgamation, people tend to forget about history and identity. Just because certain people believe that shannon clubs are mediocre at both junior and schoolboy levels is no reason for clubs to amalgamate and lose both their history and identity. Ask the majority of ex newtown people. If all clubs which struggled amalgamated we wouldn't have many teams would we.

[Two Feet Up]

I think in the past , the players that have been produced in Shannon could have posed a much bigger threat to Limerick and national honours and not just the above mentioned team.
Shannon town youths got to munster finals, fai semi finals, Park had team out of town regurlarly in MJC (made semi final once v the Fairview team that went on to win multiple fai's). Think also of the players that decided to ply their trade elsewhere, why because the best players in Shannon did not play together so they decided to take a 'step up' in limerick. Those days are long gone and I don't think Shannon's best would survive in the premier in town and that is sad, given the number of players in Shannon.

It would be great to see a unionised club all working together, however I doubt I will see that in my time, unless the clubs just fold/disappear and leave one club.

The best chance a Shannon team ever had in the last 20 years was the park team some years ago. (Phil Purcell, scales etc in their pomp) that team managed by nobber and albert finnan was as successful as any Shannon team can ever be. Semi of the fai beaten in Waterford from what I remember? That In my opinion was the best junior side ever to come out of Shannon but they stilll came up short.


some team alright only contained two players ;) just a question on being as successful as any Shannon team did they win any league titles / cups ? I'm sure that town / newtown lads may disagree on the success tally of trophies

[Hibs7772]

Predictions:

Shannon Town 5-0 Dromore Cel
Caherconlish 1-3 Newport
Moyross 1-2 Mungret Reg
Kilmallock 4-0 Hospital
Pike Rvs B 0-2 Knockainey

is that not dromores 3rd walkover this season looks like they are gone so ,,, shocking a so called big club like pike cant field a b team

[Second]

Hospital had a full team .. newport v caherconlish was a mis print.. and mungret beat moyross 1-0

[don't panic]

Standard is dropping. I reckon all teams from premier down should amalgamate. Think of the facilities we would have you

[Fairkop]

standards have been dropping for a while,plenty of factors contributing to that,players losing interest,clubs being run by maybe 1 or 2 people doing their best to keep it going ,getting no support from present or former players who put nothing back in,little or no coaching or training etc and the biggest problem imo is a poorly run league the last 4 or 5 years which is partly the clubs fault because they keep voting poor admin people in.saw mungret win this morning ..game was,n bad tbf...ironic i know.

Would be some finish to the season if Caherconlish won this one

[Hibs7772]

Sure they've 7 other matches, not sure who they have to play but plenty of midtable teams playing for nothing in the last 5 games or so of the season so plenty of points still to play for

Shocking result, thought things might have improved with new management. Any reporters out there

dont know why you would think things would improve with new managment as same players still there.. football in shannon is in a poor place at the moment.. all the good young players are playing 17s or 19s in clare league..

also mungret are up near the top of league so no real suprise that they won..how did town do against them in the league this year. .

Who are these players?

We were one down at half time. And they got another early in the second half. Which meant we were chasing and we left gaps, which could be exploited on a big pitch.
We were missing two(but that's to be expected playing midweek)

still a few young players still involved with town / hibs sean burke / alex cole / jack Kelly ? no surprise the won alright but did not expect the heavy scoreline but agree totally football in Shannon in a very poor place

[Balbec77]

Kilmallock 2 Knockainey 0 great result for us down on that hell hole of a pitch come on the hoops

[Lev Yashin]

Seeing as the state of soccer in Shannon keeps coming up in here(1A thread) maybe those who bring it up constantly should think about opening a separate thread rather than hijack this one repeatedly

would not write off Hibs,both caherconlish and pike B are in plenty trouble down at the end of the table too.

[Bayern Munchies]

It was a joke fellas, I was walking past there pitch today and saw there was a circus on there at the moment and been the sad man I am had to make a joke about it :P

Don't know who they have left or what the other teams around them are like to know there chances of staying up are but hopefully they have enough about them to stay up, two relegations in a row will be very hard to bounce back from

[old git]

might be wrong here a couple of handy games moyross / kilmalock / mungret ;) town and pike b

hard to see them picking up to many wins so could rely on other teams to help them out

Yeah i think you're spot on there! The games against Town and Pike B being the stand out games in terms of possibly getting points. Anyone know the last few fixtures of both Pike B and Caherconlish?

and there was me thinking it was pre-season

heard that one of the managers has left the A team also.....(this was one of the lads who was originally over the B team)

[Shuffleruns]

Has Hibs/C.lish played each other twice already? and can anybody say what the result was from both games, cheers.

I think theres a lot of sarky/banter going on here, I wouldnt take any of those posts too serious.

[old git]

agree with you on that and also think shannon town cannot take the run in lightly as they could be dragged into relegation trouble if the lose a couple of games as only 5-6 points ahead of hibs / pike b
i would be more worried about teams who are safe/ mid-table in the last few games as clubs have a history in all divisions of putting out weakened teams for midweek games etc ..

Can see the finish of season now i reckon league will leave town a v hibs a to last game of season ? and some game if hibs Need to win to stay up :D

[Lev Yashin]

Oh I dont...However comments like this call the integrity of the team into question and are completely uncalled for.
I've been with Shannon Town(except my loan spell to Lifford :D) since I was 7 years old and I have never been part of a team that threw a game.
