Dines v Hill Celtic was the last game of the season,
Dines ahd to win while Hill Celtic needed just a draw for promotion.
Hill Celtic won 3-1 (Noel Noonan broke windows in Garryowen that day he kicked it out of play so many times, but they got what they wanted).

no it won't...Star and Corbally are more or less promoted.. it will be decided definately before Easter.

You don't see Herbertstown or Summerville as serious contenders even though Herbertstown are level with Corbally and Summerville would only be a point behind if they win their game in hand ?

[Killer Bs]

Corbally are stuttering..depends on who they have to play...guarantee it will go to wire...Agree that Star should romp it but they need the points on the board first...

Star 3-2 Corbally (Report)
We started the game without 5 of our regular starting eleven,

They were, Ger Collopy, Leonard O'Grady, Brian O'Doherty, John Barry and Derek Hannon and we were 2-0 up at half time and it could have been 4 or 5.

We had an outfield player in goals, and started with 2 minor players outfield while bringing on another one after 70minutes.

Yes Corbally started the 2nd half with all guns blazing but in all fairness they never really threatened our goal.

They scored a fluke for their first goal on 65minutes, it was a cross that got caught in the wind and went over our (STAND IN) keepers head.

They then scored their 2nd with about 2 mins to go, but we never gave in and went for it in injury time and it was our turn for a bit of luck when one of their defenders tried to clear the ball of the line but the ball deflected of his head and in for the winner.

We are now 4 points behind Corbally with 5 games in hand.

any news on the Hannon/Barry situation?

[scoobysham]

after our defeat to summerville at the weekend we can say good luck to promotion for another season. our strikers just simply are not good enough and we suffered a host of missed chances in the first half due to poor finishing from our front two. at the end of first half summerville scored a screamer of a free kick and they were 1 up at half time. The second half was 50 50 and summerville won 2 1 and we can have no complaints with the results because we cant seem to take our chances in front of goal.

congratulations to star on their promotion to the premier only academic now. the only quedtion is who will join them. between corbally herbertstown and summerville i think. tho summerville and herbertstown are both hard to beat at home i would still go for corbally apparently they have the easiest run in.

[scoobysham]

oh ya any fixtures for the weekend for div 1A

[see's it]

S'ville Vs Balla
H'town Vs Croom
C'davin Vs Abbey
Star Vs Shannon

[abbeyvale]

any news on the Hannon/Barry situation?


They are suspended until further notice from the FAI and there is a meeting on tonight between Star and the LDMC to come to some sort of an agreement without the FAI getting involved.

But in saying that they both have now been suspended for 3 different matches so far.

Since you mentioned run ins above, can we get as many of the run in fixtures as possible,

So we will then have a better idea of where or who might drop points between now and the end of the season.

Star Rovers run in
(Currently on 25pts, require 26pts more to be crowned Champions, or 25 to be sure of promotion, 9wins from 12 will do nicely)

Home) Wembley, Croom, Shannon, Abbey, Dines,

Away) Shannon, Dines, Herbertstown, Caherdavin, Balla, Coonagh, Corbally

[abbeyvale]

S'ville Vs Balla
H'town Vs Croom
C'davin Vs Abbey

perdict 4 home wins

after the results sunday i thought it was just a matter of time before Star won the league but after looking at there remaining games it could get tricky for them they have some tough games away from home...........

who were the front 2 Liston and ?
another season in 1A for Wembley,could see more players leave or maybe the management might step a side........

[Bishop]

Herbertstown'sw run in is away to Corbally, Balla and Croom (though listed for a home game this weekend) and at home to Star, Summerville, Caherdavin and Shannon....

[scoobysham]

ya def another season for wembley in 1a but dont think we will lose as many players as last year. because of not getting promoted last year we lost thomas clarke and paul danagher to limerick(prob would of left anyway) eddie brazier and darren glasheen to boro and anthony mcdonnell and jason sheehan to ul/aisling so to be honest we always thought we would be short of promotion this year, but hopefully a lot of excellent minor and u17 coming through hopefully can hang on to them both teams still in fai minors in semi final. ya maybe a change in management maybe to attract new players only but in fairness we just dont have the squad to sustain a strong promotion charge so cant really fault the management there, ya liston and damien collins(wobbler) up front for us all season.


our fixtures for rest of season are
home: caherdavin abbey balla croom coonagh
away: dines and star

[Bishop]

Scoobysham, ye have a good run in though and I'd be surprised if ye weren't thereabouts for the second spot. Wembley need to be playing Premier to have a chance of holding on to the youngsters coming through.

[scoobysham]

ya in fairness we have to be playing premier to hold on to our younger players with the re introduction of limerick u21s in the summer is a problem for us and especially with the u17 and minors still in fai the premier teams will be watching palyers.

ya just looking at the rest of the teams run ins seem tricky enough u never know i suppose if we keep at it might hang in there we could have a slight chance and for a fact we will still battle away until it is not possible to get promoted.

[see's it]

on paper wembley look like having a handy run-in but the fact remains that there forwards are not good enough.Wembley have had good youth teams for the last few years and are still in A1 i think it needs more then that.what was that quote "you win nothing with kids":)

[Edgey]

Are Dom and Jimmy still in charge at Wembley? Remember them stepping aside at the start of Wembley's last season in the Premier. They were begged to come back after the raver that took over had them relegated by Christmas. Both great football men and both gave great service to the club.

As for Croom and Herbertstown at the weekend, there used be murder at that a few years ago the year both were promoted from 1B. Were you around that year Bishop? Lunatic that used play for Croom (one of the many) broke a fella's nose with a headbutt on the way off instead of shaking hands at the end of one game.

[scoobysham]

ya jimmy collins is not involved with any age group at wembley, he is now the chairman. himself and dom have done a great job with all the underage teams in recent years. Dom is in sole control of the junior team, ya played that year were relegated from premier at christmas when dom and jimmy came back brought respectibility back to the club. Id say dom could have enough this year he nearly packed it in last year to concentrate on the younger teams at the club. two grat clubmen for Wembley and will be involved in some capacity at the club for the long term no doubt.

ya totally agree with sees it we will have to try something different up front because we have been creating chances all season but takes us so many opportunities to score.

whose the raver?

[Bishop]

I was around for that game but to be fair to Croom there were no headbutts just a few digs and no noses were broken. We have played them a good few times since we no problems.

One of the many myths in Limerick Junior Football so....apologies!

Yes we have some tough games but in all fairness we need a max of 9 wins from 12 to win the league and thats only if Herbertstown and Corbally win all their remaining games.

Every time one of them draw or lose its a game less for us to win.

If Star go up will ye be strenghting the team as the bones of the side got relegated with Abbey last year,what players could you see signing.Alan Barry is a cert to sign anyway...........

If we do go up we will have to strenghten theres no doubt about that, and I'm sure our manager will pull a few strokes to get in some good signings.

I think Alan Barry might sign but you'd never know really.

We'll just concentrate on getting up first and worry about next season at the end of this one.

Shannon have picked up a lot since the start of the season and have had some great results lately..... I expect it will be a tough and tight game that could go either way....also, it it a month since we had a serious league game, so may be a little off the pace....
