The u19s failed to qualify for the elite division next year due to a 2 all draw away to Wexford youths,the team didnt seem to be as strong as previous teams with a lot of squad players getting a run and a big slip up will mean another year in the southern division.
They have qualified for the 4 team group that will compete for the 2 places for the elite division.
They aren't out of it yet. They are in the play offs for promotion to the Elite Division which they secured last week beating Bohs 2-0 in Annacotty. A win yesterday would have just secured top spot and the trophy in the Southern Division.Quote:

Very disappointing indeed. Went to watch the 19's a few times. 9-0 and 7-0 scorelines. Limerick by far the best team in the division which is disappointing. Still a chance of promotion though.
Lads. There was no automatic promotion from the league to be gained by comming top of a "southern" league. A lot of rubbish put out last week may have given this impression. The target should always have been the play offs where you can actually gain promotion.
Did Mervue top the section? I'd like to see us finally step up (obviously) to the Elite Division. Been knocking on the door for a few years now.
Ya Mervue finished top.
Limerick to play Mervue in the first game of their playoff group at home on the weekending Feb 9th. Hopefully a 2 kick off in Nessans on the Saturday.
Edit: scratch that, six nations on the same time the Saturday.
Will all be in Annacotty I reckon unfortunately.Quote:

That's a head scratcher if true. Fair enough thy have failed to win the league the last few years but I thought he was considered a very good coach that all the players liked.Quote:

How strange. Must be something more to this behind the scenes.
Incredibly strange. If it was his decision to step down then you'd have thought he'd hang on til after the playoffs and go out with a bang.Quote:

If its the clubs decision, then it's even stranger in terms of timing. Must be more to it behind the scenes.
I presume it just leaves Tommy Barrett in charge for the playoffs so?
strange decision just before the playoffs,heard today its this manager/coachs second time being sacked by limerick,whats going on ?
Pat makes a few strange ones to be fair,but i feared for Farmer as i thought this team should have walked this league and i thought they would remain unbeaten but they were very inconsistant and this probably cost him dearly.
Like what out of interest?Quote:

The first teams lack of depth and number of injuries could really affect the 19s hopes of getting promoted.
