It's all well and good saying we should have stayed in the Premier,but to be honest I don't think there would've been a team by December.Going in to the teams in town and getting hammered week in week out,I can't think of many players that would keep it up for a full season.What would happen if we had to pull out half way through the season?I couldn't see us being allowed back in to the league for a very long time if that happened.
Agreed... At least there is a team there now turning out every week. If ye had to go into Pike and Janesboro and lose heavily it could have folded.Quote:

The decision to drop down a division was made AFTER all the players had left,we haven't lost a whole lot,but then again,what was left was mostly loyal B and C team players,so they weren't going to leave anyway.We've had a few more strong additions to the team over the past few months and weeks, so you'd never know.
should have been to the youths stage for the start of next season but we lost the 15/16s two seasons back when difficulties between the managers and a small number of the players resulted in the then chairman pulling the teams which was disasterous. We will be to 15/16s for the coming season and will attempt to put a 17s in place
Once those underage players start to come through and aided hopefully by a few of the older lads everything will work out for the best having trained with a few of those young lads I know that some of them just lack a small bit of physical strength but that will come with age. As the saying goes sometimes you have got to go back to go forward. As for staying in 1A I can speak on behalf off all the players on our A team when I say we are not going to go down without a fight. Last Sunday was the first time all season we started with a side that resembled an A team only one player missing, this was the first time since I signed this has happened. Every player is committed to staying up and we will strive to do so. Even if we are to be replaced next year the club hopefully will be able to keep going forward.

Also played with Bunratty, quality player though with a class football brain, always a step ahead. Pity he's struggled with a lot of injuries over the years....Quote:

yes u r right seesit my mistake they need to catch hill celtic but it looks doubtful they have played 2 games more than them and have less points. it looks like park and coonagh look doomed unless they put a really good run together
yes it is 2 teams that get relegated old git

Could we not change this thread to
"Will Park stay up or not"
Because there is a lot more than that going on in Shannon, like :
Will Newtown win the double????
Sure isnt that a given now back to Park god bless us:)Quote:

Coonagh won 2-0. Not having a keeper cost them dearly. One goal was direct from a corner and the other was direct from a free kick a fair bit out.
this was a 6 pointer relagation battle also ... now park must travel to corrib drive tuesday night looking for a win... cant see them staying up now .. :ball: :ball:Quote:

Tomorrow night could be a very good game so.
What time is kick-off tomorrow night????

The over 40s is on in Limerick in June, i would appreciate it if you could muster up a few of the eligable Newtown lads to take part this season. Its the 25th anniversary this year and its about time we put in a fair effort from all of the clubs and had a good hop off it, and also raise a few bob for the very worthy causes involved. The team is entered as Riverside, Park, Shannon, the Riverside comes from the original club from Limerick which no longer exists except for this competition.Quote:
