Limerick Premier Division 2012/13

I agree I think limerick starting up an underage team is a terrible idea.from what I heard you have to pay over €100 for your child to join them and then you have to buy the track suit and the training gear which I'm sure isn't cheap. Not only is this expensive on parents but kids who parents can't afford this could end up getting slagged and bullied and eventually just give up football.

that's another aspect of it..although some clubs in town charge more then that for membership.

AA and Corbally are dearer then Limerick,don't know about the rest,it is very expensive at this day and age.money just isint there,I don't think the Academy at Limerick is a bad idea to be honest,if some of them kids come up through the ranks and go on and play u19 and Senior for Limerick then surely that can only be good for football in Limerick,Would love to see a local Senior team and going down this road maybe it will bare fruits,

no problem with players playing league of ireland or even higher.good luck to them.
what i would not like to see is limerick taking the best of players around at all grades from 11's to minor.
i have no problem with players going to limerick 19's as no club in limerick competes in it.
my problem is that they are taking them at such young ages,denying them a chance to play week in week out,in the limerick leagues
i just think that it would make the league's less competitive if limerickfc are in them.
again...that's an opinion

Darren and Derek have both played majority of games this year and BOC is signed also, terry duggan played half a season with hibs and was on the bench or didn't turn up for alot of games think he played 2-3 games total, maybe a few sub appearances. Shannon had a great youth team about 4 years ago, came second in the top youth div and were unlucky not to win it, came second to a great kilmallock youth team most of whom went on to play for the kilmallock A team and now a few of them have gone to pike. Alot of those youth players aren't even playing anymore or are gone to different teams or playing different sports, once alot of lads turn 18 they lose some interest IMO

I also agree with old git in saying that there are 4 or 5 B team players that are are easily good enough to play for hibs A team but choose not to for different reasons, Garry Higgins, Gavin Hayes and a few others.

jimmy houlihan / seamus farrell and rasher reidy / dave devanney all capable of playing A team football do the A team not want them hibs7772 or do the lads want to play for B team only.

[cufc champions]

How are Regional rated this year lads?

[Sea Bird]

another factor also helps ( money) not saying all clubs in Limerick at it but i can guarantee you most of the Premier teams are using it to attract & keep players.

Most is a bit harsh i reckon its the minority pay and use money not the majority/most....................

[passandmove]

I think this debate about football out in Shannon has been exhausted at this stage and please let's not reopen $$ debate!CUFC regional are currently mid table in premier,they can blow hot and cold in my opinion but on their day at home they can be very tough to beat.

Anyone able to comment on recently launched book of history of Limerick Junior soccer ?

As far as i know they would be welcome with open arms but they all just want to play B team football. Although Seamus Farrell has been playing with the A team 75% of this year, he's played ina fair few matches for us. But i agree any of the 4 named are more than capable of making the step up.

talking about money, most teams even find it hard to get €5 off players to pay the ref for the game, tbh players just dont have it., what can you do,

excellent book and great credit due to pat sheehan for putting it together, for 20 euros its a must read,super turn out on the night of the launch which was well deserved. looking back through it there was some unbelievable sides in limerick over the years and im sure a couple of other clubs ie balla, star and boro just to name a few would have won an fai if it was more than just the one team going out of town back then,

Who said its out of Pikes hands.and he maybe right,Carew draw with Pike,wins all the rest,league over wil fully deserved,but I think there will be a lot of twist n turns this year I think i. .maybe wrong as per usual,I thought boro would win the league last year,but when push comes to shove,we all know who ends up on top.,2 very good teams pushing for everything,and last year people were saying its between Janesboro and pike for the lot,which they did do bar FAI ,boro MJ n TUOHY and Pike LEAGUE AND LAWSON,there will be different names on Trophyd this year and hopefully they'll stay local.,don't all attack me now but I think it's between the 2 of them and rightly so.if I was a gambler I'd say 3 to 1,trophies that is.

Totally agree with you on this Hotspur,while we are on a great run at the moment there will be some twists and turns along the way,while I would love to see carew win the league I think pike will do it,they have been hear before and come out on top,they have the biggest and best squad and have the experience,every game from here on in will be like a cup final,i would not rule out Fairview or Gearldines either,here's looking forward to a good end to the season.
