Limerick Division 1A 2013/14

[Beam me up]

No, just A an B Team at Junior level and if you can get a squad of players to play as a C Team that will contribute to the club instead of just being a drain on resources then so be it. You would ideally have A and B Team at every level including Schoolyboys and Youths.

If 3 clubs amalgamate.would they intend to have A, B, C teams?? If not where would all the rest of the players go.Could be a lot of lads out there playing no football at all then which imo would be a total disaster.

surely that would have to be decided by the single clubs committee once joined, but I would expect it to be a topic of conversation alright

the most important thing would be to have the players on the lower teams pushing themselves to play higher

Players that are playing B and C team football have no interest in pushing themselves to a higher level that's half the problem, majority just want to go down and have a kick about with the lads and not train too hard. Plenty of players have the ability to play A team football just don't actually want to as you have to train that bit harder and give that bit more commitment. You see alot more teenagers going from youths to B teams instead of A teams because alot of lads just don't have the interest anymore

hibs7772 think your being very harsh on a lot of b team players some of them more than capable of playing A Team football and sometimes it is down to A team managers not asking them or giving them a chance to prove themselves many of decent players around Shannon started at b team level , but also think you are spot on with some players having no interest in pushing onto a higher level and look at Shannon at the moment with players dropping to 3rd division in clare to play football

[Football-Unites]

To be successful, you have to have commitment and work ethic as a minimum base, unfortunately most lads don't really want to put in the commitment or effort, so ultimately don't ever get success, or push themselves to play for the A team,or better, they like the idea of it, but don't want to work for it.
Whether you have an a,b,c team depends on the numbers, if you have enough players, then I would say why not, if you don't have enough, then I would sy why ? Maybe I think things are more straight forward than they actually are. Things don't have to be, but more often than not they are made complicated by people.

I said plenty of players from B teams would be able play A team football just don't have the interest
