Rusk hat-trick (one peno) for us before Mervue lost their keeper through injury and had to bring on what I can only assume was their keeping coach - about 40years old and 16 stone. He was rubbish and we duly score two more - one a cracker from Dean Marshall and one bundled home by O'Conor when the keeper let a cross go by two yards in front of him.
Overall, I'm delighted with our pre-season so far - ten goals in three games, including five for Rusk. I've seen good pre-seasons before, so not jumping to conclusions! But wasn't really expecting this.
Almost brings a tear to my eye. :pQuote:

Hopefully Scully sticks with him and wont chop and change keepers (with Barrys brother Dave)Quote:

Pre-season results are rarely of any real significance, but Limerick fans should be enthused with the performance. With four lads in the u-21 home based squad mixed in with a good bit of experience Limerick should have a good tilt at the FD this year (licencing permitting!). David O'Leary and Paudie Quinn from the U-21's looked lively, Peter Hynes looked interested (thats a real hit or miss one) and Barry Ryan was excellent.Quote:

Dave Ryan wasnt on the bench for ye! Was somebody called Cusack I think!Quote:

I was very impressed with Limerick's performance last night. We passed the ball well I thoguht Jeffrey Judge and David O'Leary did very well, Paudie Quinn was always a threat. Gary Sheehan finished very well and looked dangerous. Defence was solid although caught napping at one corner when Kearns nearly scored and someone (was it Hawkins?) missed an open goal on the rebound.
I only caught the second half of the Limerick-Dundalk match but we looked poor against a well organised Limerick team. There was a good structure to Limericks team and the Dundalk players got little space. If I was a Limerick fan I'd be very encouraged with that performance. Pre-season matches don't matter all that much but after such a good performance against Linfield and then to this it was disappointing.
Monaghan United v Galway United, Sunday, 20th February, Century Homes Park, 3.00PM KO.
Glenavon vs Galway United, Tuesday, 22nd February, Mourneview Park, 7.45PM KO.
Sligo Rovers v Galway United, Saturday, 26th February, Showgrounds, 6.00PM KO.
All hell is guna break lose then!:rolleyes:Quote:

On last night, thought twas very encouraging how well organised the team was, John Frost looks like he could be a very important player for us, himself and Paddy on either side of Brian McCarthy looked very solid.
O'Leary, Judge and Quinn are a decent footballing midfield, Gary Sheehan will score at least a dozen goals this season exactly like the one he scored last night.
I still think we're a bit short squad wise and we probably need an old head in the middle of the park to kick people but there was cause for optimism. :eek: :ball:
Gufc v Monaghan on sunday is offQuote:

Has there been a fallout now?
1 all between Cork and Sligo atm Blinkhorn and Cummins with the goals.
I don't see why there should be a fall out between Galway and Monaghan. Monaghan were given false hope by the FAI, they had to know we were going to appeal. I have real sympathy for Monaghan here..they should be in the Premier, but not in our placeQuote:

Limerick were well worth the win last night by all accounts, I think they are a great bet to win the FD. I was looking for some value, think I found my team now. Obviously Monday night and the changes took its toll on us, but fair play to Limerick, good result for them, and will give them real confidence.Quote:
