your modesty is admirable..
I'm not Pike Leather. Are you saying that at the moment Pike's team and setup is not better than Boro have had over the last say 10 years. All I'm saying is he'll be playing in big FAI and munster junior games, don't think he's played in many of those over the years
how did the hell did you deduce all that from four words.????
lets try not to put words into peoples mouths.. if the above comments are YOUR opinions, fair play, but all opinions are just that...opinions..
cant comment on Pikes team as i dont know what it is or what it will be.
in respect to setups what would be your criteria.?
I can only comment on two parts of a setup having used both in both clubs.
Fair play to pike they have the best pitch locally but lag well behind numerous clubs in regards to changing facilities.
lads take it elsewere,site will be locked,yer going to ruin it for everyone else.........
lads anyone with any genuine signings alan barry has defo signed for pike
met declan casey this morning wouldnt tell me anything on signings,he just smiled and said hes very happy with what they did get..........
the only new 1 that i know of is alan will know more sat night at the game
Barry culhane back with boro hopefully he will be able to play on a regular basis work permitting.
thay have been chasing him for a while. with that strike force they will be hard to bowl over next year....Quote:

and the team that won the league in 01? (not sure of the year exactly) was a very good side as well, got to the semi final of the fai i believe
and just to keep on topic alan barry is a great signing for anyone in town, promises 20/25 goals a season at least
Theres another 20/25 goalsQuote:

a blow from the point of view that id say janesboro would have had him as a near cert to sign backQuote:

Evan Quinlivan to Pike.
Former Limerick/Wembley School Boy.
alan barry would no doubt be a very good signing for pike,but he alone wont win pike an fai which is surely the goal next season...as it should always be..at least 4 possibly 5 other positions need to be addressed to have a good chance at fulfilling that goal so pik would want to be plenty busy in the next few weeks.
what positions do you think need to be adressed
i know that to have a chance of winning fai's and to be winning everything else you need a big squad but in fairness how are pike going to keep all these supposedly new signings happy?of what i can gather from the talk on this thread they have around 7 or 8 new players lined up e.g-barry ryan,alan barry,the 3 lads from desmond league as well as afew ex limerick players.who have they lost from last seasons squad?paddy mitchell and maybe another few fringe players?i dont here of any of there starting 11 leaving?i can see certain players who are up in pike that will not be dropped next season no matter what.i maintain that alot of these new lads will be warming the bench for the season and if the new lads arent subbing there will be alot of unhappy players from last years squad on the line watching every week.
whats the goalkeeper situation next season?who is number 1?bennis or smackers?i think to be winning fai's pike need a stonger keeper.Quote:

What difference does that make? They have plenty of Newcastle based players too. Castlemahon dont have a soccer team so the players need to play with different clubs. I know of other premier clubs with people from castlemahon playing with them too. Not a fair comment. On Glin, we'll see how they do in the league next year. Playing second fiddle again i think.
why does it matter if ncw afc have players from just outside the town!!!!
they have 2 guys from castlemahon cos castlemahon dont have a team,the guy from creeves has been playing for ncw for 5 or 6 years now.the rest are all from newcastle west..we were the run away leaders in all competitions until the cup final which glin deserved on that night..we didnt perform like we can...i think abbeyfeale will be strong this year with the new manager they have..he used to manage in the limerick district league..there is a thread on here for the desmond league that i started at the end of last year so just look for it and we will keep that one going....
We kept great players happy when we won fai junior cups great players have too be on the bench as well o donnell,purcell,flynn, were all subs at sum stage having great players on the bench is a good complaint to have.Quote:

ya i also think that abbeyfeale will be strong this year but they also have to use their youth panel from two or three years ago i.e t.j leahy micheal sheehan etc etc.glin wont be stong this year few players are heading to australia i heard.shannonside suprise package this year.Quote:
