Can someone give more information on the academy.
I saw that Limerick had an academy for players u11 to u15,just wondering is this open to players of limerick district only,or would it be open to players playing in Limerick Desmond schoolboy league or Limerick county schoolboy league.
I saw last week that Limerick Desmond league u12 team beat Limerick district 1 nil and by all accounts it should have been more.:ball:
Yes,i would also be interested to hear on this accadamy. i was actually present at the desmond against the city as my cousin was playing for the city, but i would have to agree that the city boys were paid of the field by the desmonds. there whole midfield should some amount of quality, they seem to be very well organised this year, there was one player of particular intrest, I seen him play for mungret against fairview last year and i was suprised to see him lining out for the desmonds. his name was barry he looked like an unbelivable talentmungret will be upset to lose him. cum on the blues
That player is Barry O'Connell, plays for KildimoQuote:

The academy you speak of is run by the LDSL L37 will be assisting in the development of this and also in establishing a youth academy for U17s and 18sQuote:

There was a few from the county at the launch the other night too. In addition to the Desmond schoolboys beating the LDSL, the Desmond juniors beat the LDL Oscar Traynor team recently as well. At the moment some of the better players are out in the county, yet I bet ye didn't even bother having a look at any of them.......While I know the club is just finding its feet, this is something that will have to be rectified in the future, I don't agree with the county leagues being left out of the loop. Ye won't be filling that stadium in Jackman Park if ye continue to ignore the county :ball:Quote:

But where does that leave them with regards to L37?? Are L37 only going to look at the city ladsQuote:

Old keeper COME ON and get that club to see some sense,because the crowds will disapear when they realise the talent is not being nurtioured.!!!!!
So this accadamy limerick 37 is talking about is not a accadamy, it is a district team, typical lies, why is nobody ever straight with the fans
I think you're being a bit harsh there limerickblue, the club is only after starting up, but it is a pity that they haven't looked at the Desmond as already there are players out there better than what L37 have signed......
I wouldn't be having a go at Ger Finnin but L37 are saying that this club belongs to the people and everyone that kicks a football in Limerick. Therefore that should absolutely include the county leagues as well. U don't see Munster Rugby ignoring the county rugby clubs like Bruff, Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale........

The club is very proud of the county connection and will ENSURE that every effort is made to support the county teams in development, in fact L37 was represented at the meeting between limerick county council and the FAI to make sure that a full time FAI employee would be appointed to concentrate on the County. We see the city and county as one unit and while there are issues with the geographical area being governed by different bodies the ultimate goal is the same "Strong Sustainable Soccer" in all areas
Now lets all remember that some replies are short becaues we are all very busy, please do not read between lines that do not exist. the club is only 1 month old, in a recent interview on radio in the county the club made it crystal clear that we want to see a strong county set up and want to harness the historical support that always existed for senior soccer in the county.
Regarding the viewing of players, to be totally honest we had no time to view players that we had not already seen and there was a rush to sign any available players. We have a small squad and will be looking to bolster this in June when the junior season is over so at that time we will most likely have a selection process in place.
Now please dont have me replying like this again take the club at face value WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL SOCCER IS DEVELOPED.

I dont think this is the fourm to discuss this but I will engage with you in the junior section if you wish.
Here's an idea, how about if anyone who knocks something had to come up with an alternative proposal!!! But wait that would mean that most would be silent.
