Limerick Premier Division 2009/10

most of the Fairview winning team are under age again next season. about 8 or 9 of the starting 11 i think...

balla 0 pike 3 hartnett, donavan, moloney,

balla missing prob 2 or 3 of there first 11.
piike were missing enright, mullins, borris, colbert, alan barry, cleary, brendan daly,
if pike had took HALF there chances they would of beat a near full strenght balla team around 6 or 7nil with those players missing.
im predicting a very one sided lawson final

And trust me I know because I could name a team of players that I played with at The Dines that left for "bigger clubs" and didnt get paid, and that would be in the top 3 in the Prem today if they were all still playing together.

OK Abbeyvale,name the team of ex Dines players you could select who would be in the top three in Limerick Prem.I hope you're not including yourself in the first 11.

abbey players will be promised irish caps and they have not a hope in getting one aswell as other things. how do you expect clubs to compete with these teams junior football in this town has been destroyed more so this season the carry on out of certin clubs has been nothing short of a disgrace just look at were all the cups are going aswell as MJC and FAI all cups have gone on maybe 2 teams. rest of the league are there to make up the numbers

No I wont include myself, but here goes, I'll name a squad of players and you can choose your own starting 11.

Ger (Nolly) Collopy
Pat Mullins
Brian (Chucka) Buckley
Mike Carey
Pat McGarry
Tommy Barrett
Dave Wall
Christy O'Neill
Alan Barry
Pa Moloney
Derek Hannon
Keith McNicholas

Thats just 12 off the top of my head, but I'd say any 11 from that 12 would hold their own in the Prem.......easily finishing in the top 3.....what do you think?
And thats not including the players that went straight from The Dines to LOI or across water or players that have played with club since Ive left.

dont forget the best of the lot gaga!!

I never played on the same Dines team as him but did play on the same View team as him, and is still the best midfielder Ive played with to date, and that list is fairly good too.

Very impressive line-up there Abbeyvale and yes,there is still a few playing LOI etc. - Some clubs have got to look at themselves in terms of wanting to make real progress,it begs the question,why did all these players manage to slip through the net?? Facilities?? Hierarchy?

I cant see how the smaller clubs could look after their players to stop them moving to a bigger club. If they are playing with a mid-table team and the top club in local football comes and offers you the chance to win trophies and maybe an fai or munster junior then most players would move.

Very few clubs at a high level have players who have been with the one club from schoolboy level onwards, although there are exceptions. Big clubs always try to poach the best, hence it is harder for a smaller club to reach the top level.
Yes, there will always be inducements, plus there is the added bonus of clubs being entitled to a percentage of transfer fees if a player is good enough to make it cross channel or elsewhere.

you could put corbally so in the same both abbeyvele.

1-JJ hartigan
2-dee ryan
3-danny hanley
4-nicky carroll
5-alan carroll
6-ronan sherlock
7-ian dunworth
8-fergal o connell
9-aido fitzimons
10-peter ryan
11- john o dwyer.
12-david owens

12 players there who played years with corbally and joined other premier teams over a 4 year period from 2005-2009.all under 30 except for john o dwyer(32).all the above still playing except the 2 carrolls who went to oz last year.imagine where corbally would be if all the above still played with them added to there current squad.they certainly wouldnt be bottom half.would defo be top 3.
the fact is that for different reasons players leave.some go to follow the crowd,others do there own thing.one thing i reckon is i doubt any of the above ever got paid to play for any team they joined

McGarry is the only player to play one season with The Dines, all other players on the list had a minimum 2 years with them.....

I have to agree with Ted I think that squad would finish in the top 5 anyway at least, and by the way BlackJack, I dont see you complaining about my ex Dines players finishing in the top 3 in the Prem..........................is it that you agree or just because there are 4 players that are currently playing with Pike in my squad????
