Good to see that there are a few clubs going away to the nice warm holiday spots for training - both Rovers off to Marbella for a week, then Bohs arriving arriving there two days later...

Does anyone else think... Nah, I must be just a little nit too conspiratorial.

Meanwhile, the Waterford United team building trip away will also be to a very popular resort town in a warmer southern coastal town, known for it's sandy beaches and the chance to get away from it all.

Yes, it will be an afternoon in Tramore.

Gosh, I've just realised how that must have sounded. Sorry. Tramore is WAAAAAAAYYYY better than Marbella any day. No choice in my mind over the two. Tramore every time;)

Think the reason behind it is one of our pre season training nights is Monday so saves the players having to travel an extra day

That might not have been the reason for it. Sunday would have been easy for me getting from Limerick but being on a monday now makes it a lot harder

Jackman Park is being re-sodded (No doubt in preperation for us not getting a licence) and myself and gael are going to England

Therefore Friendly Off.

Get Over It.

thats the best excuse yet from a football club?

I sincerely doubt that in the rich tapestry of football history Limerick have ever had the best anything.

May I suggest you read a few football books if you think this is the case

Alternately, maybe a bout of whinging about a trust is in order??

I mean, it must be hours since you were on the Limerick forum talking one up...

Looks like Mervue Utd will get lims place

According to who??

Mind your own.

Another 20k pi$$ed away by "The Best Run Club In the World" (Trademark gufct) and Mervue could have been taking your place.

MONS BEAT PREMIER TEAM BRAY IN PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY
In a last minute arranged friendly between Monaghan United and Premier Division team Bray Wanderers, Mick Cooke’s men came out on top on Monday night last. A goal from Eoin Lannigan, due to sign for the team on Wednesday, separated the teams.

“Lannigan has phenomenal pace and latched onto a long clearance from Wayne Byrne, rounding the goalie and slotting home.” Cooke said.

Bray fielded an almost complete squad with only 3 of their side missing from the action while Cooke used the opportunity to try out some of his new signings by mixing them in with some of last years players.

“The team played well together and the pre-season training has been going well. Graham (Doyle) has settled well into the Assistant Managers job and is getting a great response from the lads” Cooke continued.

Monaghan United’s team for the game was: Danny Woods (Brendan Kennedy 45), Paul Whelan, Aaron Mooney (Ian Malone 45), Brian Gartland, Kevin Williamson (Khalid Hussain 60) , Eoin Lannigan (Darragh Hanaphy 60), Wayne Byrne (Chris Dyson 60), Robbie Collins (Philip Sheppard 45)

James Hand and Brian Murphy were forced to sit out the game due to injury.
