unlucky alan,at least ye gave it yer best and didnt go down without a fight



Yeah, I will be very interested to see what Whitestripe has to say about the game, and as it was said tonight in our dressing room after the game, it wasn't becasue we lost tonight that we got relegated, it was other poor results during the season..........

[abbeyvale]

is it defo relegation?

Yep, unfortunatly for us............but it was a formality after losing at home to Wembley & Granville and drawing at home to Summerville in the last few weeks, coz with all due respect to those teams, if you can only pick up 1pt from those 3 home games, you dont deserve to stay up.........best of luck to the other teams involved and may the best team/s stay up......

if star had played like they did tonight all season would have been in with a fighting chance of staying up. left winger shane (dont know second name) looked a quality player. would you say lack of fitness caught up with ye in last 20 mins?

[summervilleman]

hard luck abbey best of luck to ye next year
do summerville a favour and give it a good go against corbally:D


Yeah abbeyvale..Have a good hop off of corbally on sunday and win yere last game,,,,do us a favour as welll,Will meet ye for drinks if ye beat them! :D

[Abbey Road]

Sure why not, first rule would be every club has to wear white socks..

Ah,the memories!!!

[KevB76]

fairview lead wembley 3 1 didnt get a final score

Final score Wembley 2-3 Fairview.

Wembley had an attempt cleared off the line and the follow up came off the underside of the cross bar. Shane Clarke narrowly missed another chance when Fairview keeper came off his line, Clarke just got there before him and lobbed the ball over him but hit the top of the crossbar and over. Good game :ball:

[abbeyvale]

hard luck abbey best of luck to ye next year
do summerville a favour and give it a good go against corbally:D

I do know we are missing a few players for Sunday's game v Corbally, myself included, but we'll still have 11 players out there and they'll give it their best I'm sure.

[abbeyvale]

Am star got relegated finishing last....... playing well in the second last match of the season isnt going down without a fight:mad:

I agree, like I said, we weren't relegated just by one game, it was our other results that caught up with us in the end.

[abbeyvale]

Again, I agree, fitness did tell in the end, and it wasn't the first time that happned us this season.
Shane Waters was our left winger yesterday evening, and yes he is a class act, when he turns up, he is a Star lad all his life, and was signed by Limerick 37 U-21's last season, and then re-signed with us when their season finished.
He has missed quite a few games this season, but whhen he plays and is in that type of form, he really is unstoppable.......he could have been the difference if he had played all our games this season......but now we'll never know.

[abbeyvale]

Yeah abbeyvale..Have a good hop off of corbally on sunday and win yere last game,,,,do us a favour as welll,Will meet ye for drinks if ye beat them! :D

The lads were told already by the manager, and I dont see him doing anybody any favours,
Trust me when I say, they'll give it their all on Sunday.......

[Roadend]

I see Granville have appealed the objection they had with Corbally to the Munster council after it was thrown out by the LDMC.

[lifegoeson]

I agree, like I said, we weren't relegated just by one game, it was our other results that caught up with us in the end.


or our non ability to kill off games. like last night at 4-2 up we brought on a winger for a centre midfielder. and went on the attack looking for more goals when you know yourself we should have brought on eddie wallace played 5 at the back and killed the game. we have when you look back made shambles of mistakes like this all year long. :cool:.

I agree that we may have brought on an extra defender especially as there was less than 20mins to go at the time of being 4-2 up.........

Sorry to see Star get relegated and the Aisling lads took no joy in it but afterall it is a game and thats all it is. Hard to judge star over a season as I have only seen you play twice but if Star played like they did last night during the course of the season relegation would not have come into the equation. Some good players in the team but a lack of fitness cost you the game in the end?

How do you sum up Aisling's season Whitestripe?Looked like everything
was going pretty well a few weeks ago.Ye comprehensively beat the current FAI champs if i'm right in the MJC and were going well in the league.Was there any specific reason why ye have had a poor time of late?

[whitestripe]

We had some good results in that Competition this year, Boro 3-1, Carrick, 3-1, St Michaels 4-2 but failed to turn up to the final against Balla. (best of luck to them on Sunday)

I could bang on about injuries etc but every team has these problems, basically we need to get more consistancy into our performances. When we are playing to our potential I would fancy us against any team. We are improving every season with a relatively young side and I can see Aisling only getting stronger for next season with the injection of a few key players.

The set up is excellent and training is well attended and interesting always a good sign going forward so hopefully we will get ourselves into a position to start to challenge for the league.

I will be biased though

losing cummins was the difference not a good enough squad to take over from him he was badly missed against balla in the munster junior

[whitestripe]

I would agree, he makes a huge difference, however we have enough talent in the squad that did not play that day

it would be hard to keep 3 top strikers happy for the season.

Who was the small chap up front yesterday for ye?

[Goals4fun]

Thursday 22nd May (18.45)
Granville v Fairview
Pike v Wembley
Summerville v Regional

crazy that pike have a game with the OT playing the semi final on Sunday.... some times I am surprised by the LDMC but sure this is just normal...

[mulla]

Would be some sticky situations if Balla A had to play Balla B for the title...

Anyway Pike 4- Corbally 0 ,As has been said above,close for the opening 30-35 minutes Pike got a goal before half time(John Boyle),then one directly after the restart,after that Corbally died of death towards the end with a screamer from Davy O'Grady.

Pat Sheehan was saying that Balla have no game next thursday night,which will make them 5 games behind Pike,and that Balla can get Pike's last game held up until they have to play their last game.. A joke if you ask me.

tbh its only right that they should play at the same time if it comes down to the wire for the league title,should be better organised though,5 games behind is a lot

of all the teams that played in portland this year aisling were the best footballing side that came down, i thought your lads would push harder
for the league than ye did this year. ye were like a different team in
your own place later on in the season still a team with with great potential

[sanity]

Who was the small chap up front yesterday for ye?

i think that was anthony mc donald playing up front with anthony cusack

[see's it]

I would agree, he makes a huge difference, however we have enough talent in the squad that did not play that day

it would be hard to keep 3 top strikers happy for the season.

what 3?

[lifegoeson]

I agree that we may have brought on an extra defender especially as there was less than 20mins to go at the time of being 4-2 up.........

might be a blessing for us to go down a help bring along some of the younger players as they wont be getting beat so badly every week in 1a players will gain experience and confidence

[sanity]

what 3?

cusack,cummins and sheehan

[see's it]

he said 3 top strikers thats only 2,surely your not counting sheehan.................

[mulla]

Yeah, I will be very interested to see what Whitestripe has to say about the game, and as it was said tonight in our dressing room after the game, it wasn't becasue we lost tonight that we got relegated, it was other poor results during the season..........

hard luck on star going down,tough for any team to be relegated and i think regardless of who stays and goes in the off season they will be one of the strongest teams in 1a next season imo

[Philbert]

Shane Walters is a very handy young player alright.
No interest again though. I think Shane is eligible for the Limerick U21's again this summer? If that even happens

[whitestripe]

Haa, I meant if we signed another striker along with Cummins and Cusack. J Sheehan plays in the mid-field these days.

Maybe wearing white socks could be the way forward?

[whitestripe]

They make you run faster - its a fact

[Philbert]

Fine player, Mike Kerley was watching the game last night also.

Who's he when he's at home?

[whitestripe]

He's still Mike Kerley at home

[Abbey Road]

He's still Mike Kerley at home

Classic...........

[Abbey Road]

They make you run faster - its a fact

What if they were O'Neill white socks would they make you run faster?

[whitestripe]

No - spray on itchy socks

[lifegoeson]

any pridictions on who will be joining us in 1a next season. thinking maybe granvile

[Philbert]

He's still Mike Kerley at home


I can barely contain the laughter, very nice.
But seriously, who is he?

[the only 1]

Mike Kerley manager of lim37

ya mikes judgement is good he signed great players already :D:D

[Philbert]

Cheers

Abbey, Did Shanes performance last night warrant a look from the Limerick manager?

The only thing that would stop him playing at a higher level is his size, not that it should. but unfortunatley some people are small minded

[KevB76]

No more 21,s, it will be U20's from now on, but its not starting until September. Junior season will already be underway so who knows where he'll end up.

That was one of his best performances last night, but who know's!! he certainly has the quality.

[abbeyvale]

He's only 19 I think, but I'd imagine he'll be staying with Star.

[Philbert]

Why dont more junior players play for Limerick? Is it just because the interest isnt there?

[widow]

There aren't many good enough to make an impact at the level, if any in town. Alot would hold there own alright.

[gerrard27]

If the $price$ was right,maybe you'd see alot more junior players with Limerick37,and what a team they'd have then.:):):)

[summervilleman]

I hope u are right !!!
