Limerick Division 1A 2007/08

[KilmallockYouth]

Well done to kilmallock on there promotion back to the premier after a number of years away(how long has it been now about 6-7 years)....To be brutally honest i don't like having to travel to country teams but ye have a fine pitch and setup and it ain't really that far out the road so hopefully we will see ye next year if we manage to avoid the drop...Also(if it happens) well done to dramore...Fair play.....Thats promotion 2 years in a row!!!Good to see them on the way back as well!!


Well it was the 98/99 season as far as I know!! Its 2 leagues in a row for us now so we will have to go for 3 now haha :):) The only killer will be midweek matchs with travelling home from work and that!

[abbeyvale]

Result from the Greenhills this morning: Caherdavin 1 Charleville 5

Caherdavin started and ended the game with 8 players ...



At least they fullfilled the fixture, so fair play, can they now go on and take something from Dromore to do Mungret a favour!!!!!

just a quick note to congradulate kilmallock on a great season and worthy champions .A very hardworking team box to box midfielders and two lively players up front who produced the goals when they were needed .I think tommy heffernan scored about 6 goals in the last five minutes to win matches a player like that is what you need to win any title.As regards dramore rumour has it there team bus rolled off a cliff once and landed in a field of giant sponges .They have to be the luckiest team i've seen in years.Only caherdavin can stand between dramore and promotion and guess what!.... caherdavin are relegated and played only with 8 players in there last match.That dramore genie must be working overtime lately

[summervilleman]

i thought this was your last season:D


Well last year was my last year to be honest and i was signing a b or C form and then i got a call from our new manager at the time last year and he told me to sign an A form so i did..Told him about work committments and how crap i was but he still wanted me up and thats why i am playing this year..I will probably do the same this year but if the gaffer wants me to come up then i will...I mean what would u choose...Playing ball in 2a or 4a or in the premier(hopefully)!!!
Common sense answered the last question so no need for u to answer!!!

just a quick note to congradulate kilmallock on a great season and worthy champions .A very hardworking team box to box midfielders and two lively players up front who produced the goals when they were needed .I think tommy heffernan scored about 6 goals in the last five minutes to win matches a player like that is what you need to win any title.As regards dramore rumour has it there team bus rolled off a cliff once and landed in a field of giant sponges .They have to be the luckiest team i've seen in years.Only caherdavin can stand between dramore and promotion and guess what!.... caherdavin are relegated and played only with 8 players in there last match.That dramore genie must be working overtime lately
Dromore have only lost 3 times in all compititions this season, Pike (premier), Kilmallock(1a winners) and Bruff. The only reason they lost to Bruff was because Bruff forgot about the ball and turned the game into a scrap. Dont think you can put that down to luck. What ever happens in the last game I think Dromore deserve to be where they are and League tables rarely lie.

[Bruffer]

Relegation battle seems to be pulling in teams every week could be any team from four.Its a pity to see caherdavin go down this year another club to always cater for the you the in the area for years .That's why I think it would be fitting that the caherdavin management gather all the troops and to put in one final big effort against dramore before they bid farewell.I know things did'nt work out this year but one last big performance against dramore will ensure they go into next season with some positives from this season.I'm sure there will be a big crowd at the match next thursday to see if dramore can get promoted so it's also a great oppurtunity for the caherdavin players to showthat they still have pride in that jersey.come on lads there has to be one last big game in your team.

Add the 1a league to the B team in the 4a league and the under 17's and 18's leagues! 3 leagues cups and the Ger Ryan Youth cup final in a few weeks!

[balls]

has been a great season for kilmallock, but next season is the big one forget about b team and youth leagues, Ye have to stay up in the premier next year and build from that

To be honest it's a shame to see a club like Caherdavin struggling the way that they are. It's hard to believe that they had a terrific start to last season and were top of the league after 6-7 games. After that everything seems to have gone downhill for them. Guys like Corky don't deserve to be playing in Division 1B. Even my old foe Darragh Purtill deserves great credit for sticking with them while others jumped ship around him. I've had a few run ins with him over the years but in fairness his loyalty to Caherdavin has to be admired, it's just a pity that a few more of the Caherdavin boys didn't stick it out like him because they surely wouldn't have eneded up in the predicament that they find themselves in now.

[Bruffer]

Well said mr vapor ,i'm sure the dramore boy's would prefer a good match to see them get promoted.However it's most unfotunate to hear of a previous incident between the two teams but sure if that motivates the caherdavin boy's to give them a match of it then we might see a good battle between the two teams.For the league to be honest it's only fair that every team gives it there all in any fixture.

Ah to be honest with you now i totally agree with mr. Vapor and mr. Bruffer, i am disappointed to see caherdavin drop to 1B, They deserve to be playing at a higher level given some of the quality players they have. Situations at the club haven't been right and especially when players leave after a few defeats, it's just not right! Fair play to the players who have stood by their club. Considering caherdavin play dromore on thursday, i think it would be fitting for the caherdavin players to give dromore everthing they have and let caherdavin go out on a high note and hopefully they will bounce back next year.

[KilmallockYouth]

Kilmallock 3 Geraldines 3!! Kilmallock 3-0 down at half time!Few sick heads aswell! Much better in the second and hit the crossbar in the last few minutes!!I think this guarantees Dines to stay up!

[dines08]

kilmallock 3-3 geraldines...dines 3 up at half time, kilmallock came back strongly in second half...good game, best of luck to kilmallock next season

[KilmallockYouth]

kilmallock 3-3 geraldines...dines 3 up at half time, kilmallock came back strongly in second half...good game, best of luck to kilmallock next season
Gongrats on stayin up! Start next year aswell as ye finished this year and ye will push for the Title!Best of Luck!

it would appear the management of caherdavin, by that i mean the committee etc. have let them down. they have very poor facilities and i reckon thats why players leave to go to other clubs. to be fair any of the players that have left there have gone a step up to a club in the premier division, most of them anyway

[Lev Yashin]

Yes Watson, but we dont know whos at home and whos away, hence th reason they were not entered!!!

We have Dines Herbertstown and Bruff left all at home....

[dines08]

dunno are we safe yet...think we're guaranteed minimum a playoff, we're in a strong position now tho...probably the strongest from cappamore down in the last table posted...even the teams wit games in hand would prefer the points in the bag i'm sure....anybody got an up to date league table?

3 players certain to be on it would be, Heffernan, McNicholas & Barron

gk-ger barron(Dines)
lf-frank hogan(balla)
rf-drmore(played there against us last time out)
ch-mungret lad who scored free kick against us
ch-judgey(balla)
rm-big guy for herbertstown(dunno his name good player though)
lm-colm O Mahony(balla)
cm-guy for kilmallock(terrier is nickname i think)
cm-bourke(dromore)
cf-mcnicholas(mungret)
cf-heffernan(kilmallock)

as ye can see i'm not big on names so lads from the various clubs may be able to help me out,
i haven't watched any other games from 1a during the season so my opinion is only based on games i've played myself,
i think its tough to pick a team of the best 11 in the division when you are only seeing players play 2 times and even then they could have shockers against you and play great in the rest of the games,
at least this gets the ball rolling

[Balbec77]

i think for goals is a tight call between ger barron and our keeper from kilmallock chacka o shea

[mulla]

i think for goals is a tight call between ger barron and our keeper from kilmallock chacka o shea

he didn't play there for the first game against ye,was terrible for the game we beat ye in out in ye're place and only had 1 or 2 saves when ye beat us,as i said can only go on what i've seen

[KevB76]

i think for goals is a tight call between ger barron and our keeper from kilmallock chacka o shea

What about the living legend, Noel Mooney ! :D

Only messing, but seriously though, when he played v Bruff a couple of months back he pulled off some brilliant saves, he still has it :)

[dines08]

i'm biased of course but ger barron is the best keeper in limerick let alone 1a...going on games i've played, keith mac nicholas, jimmy burke, thomas heffernan...anthony lee stood out for balla in both games against us, leo wong likewise...apart from that core opinions differ, i'm sure for most players in 1a the first 3 definately stand out

[Balbec77]

will ye b able to hold on to ger barron next season surely prem teams will come lookin for him

[dines08]

we're almost certainly without ger next year, i think he's going to ucd on a football scholarship...pretty sure he had a host of options for next year...he was at celtic too...some of the games recently he's been the reason we won...absolutely superb

[Balbec77]

ya a great keeper was he at celtic for long

[KilmallockYouth]

ya a great keeper was he at celtic for long
6 months!!
Some people in Limerick reckon our youth keeper will be better in a few years!! His only 15!!
He had trials for Wolves this year and was brought up to the Oscar Traynor Youth panel!!
