One that was out of use for a couple of seasons but I think may be back is the Lisnagry pitch. More sand than grass, sidelines about 2 feet from the nettles and trees and a one foot high ledge where one of the goal lines should be.

Played the 4b divisional cup last night against St Pats lost 1-0 but the game can be described as a farce complete joke....:mad:
that pitch was a disgrace, i'm sorry if there are St Pats people on here but that pitch was horrendus.. it made good footballers look stupid , it was a horrible game to watch... best of luck in the next round if you have home advantage you have great chance to go to the final

Eh, what about Glenview's pitch. Worst pitch in the history of football.
had the same opinion until last saturday, now and until they decide to do something about it, st pats pitch they put out on saturday is the worst pitch i have ever seenQuote:

i wonder is there anything that the ldmc could do though some of the above pitches have been bad for years
Looking forward to the semi final sidecutter? Should be a good game!
Lisnagry - played it last week not the greatestQuote:

Bruff - when wet terrible pitch but least its flat
St Pats - a joke there is space there to move to side and least be semi flat
St Pauls - one of the few pitches i have kick a ball out of defence and don't see it land because of the slope :D
Kilteely - never played it
Cals 1, 2 & 3 - Cals 1 is ok never played 2 and 3 but suspect there bad when wet
Summerville - never played
Shelbourne Maternaty field - thats not bad its flat and you can play football on
Bateman Park - played once but when played it was ok but expect better pitch for premier team
dont forget about crooms pitch "TERRIBLE"Quote:

waste of time, because they probably don't think they have bad pitch... was in town at weekend and lad from st pats .. who recognised me from holycross.. while chatting said the pitch was not bad. i couldn't believe he thought that way.. but i suppose most teams from each of the pitches mentioned think that there pitch is grand cause they have played on it for so longQuote:

The pitch is bad and very difficult to play on. we do have room on the side and that area was the main pitch. we had some refs play games in dire weather and destroyed the pitch. the club had no option but to switch to this layout. anyone who knows the area or played us a few times knows the current pitch is a temporary one.
I also agree that there should be a minimum standard required of pitches for LDL games and clubs that fall below this should lose home advantage
i hope it is cause A's stil to play you at home, and your pitch most be fine now with all this good weather :)Quote:

Met Jimmy on Sunday morning watching a game and told us a good story. He was reffing at Abbey recently when a sub came on. He checked for usual rings and chains and all was ok. A couple of minutes later the player got the ball and ran up the right when he stopped and took a mobile out of his shorts and answered it and completely ignored the game going on. Said he wanted to book him but never got his number...boom boom.Quote:

well done shels in promotion but all i can say about lower divsion soccer its the most frustrating i have ever been involved in... the lack of games the massive gaps between games... it is truly and utterly being killed off... what should we do..
well hope things can be different next season..
some of my ideas and others i hope
1. larger leagues premier 1a 1b 2a 2b stay and then you have division 3 and 4 which is 3a and 3b put together and 4a and 4b put together
2. one week division 3 play and next week divsion 4 play don't think people mind if they play every two weeks rather than every fifth week or sixth week
3. introduction of two new divisional cups larger competition with more teams
am i being mad or are they ideas easily implemented :confused:
3b league.
ST.Pauls 0 Herbertstown 3.d town are promoted.

It would make more sense to have 3 divisions instead of the 4. There are 32 teams in bottom 4 divisions this season. If you had 2 divisions of 11 and 1 division of 10, everybody could then have their home and away games.
Plus what Shels said is right about the home or away ficture. If you played every team only once who decides where it is played? Is there a draw? Is it done in Jackman behind closed doors? Home and away is the only fair way.
Definitely agree on the extra cups though. Our A team play more league games, FAI, MFA, Lawson and their divisional cup. The B team pay the same fee to the LDMC for less league games and less cups. How is that fair?
hope it is a rumour cause that this worse idea i have heard yet :eek:Quote:

The Limerick district league would like to remind clubs that any nominations for positions in the league or any proposed rule changes MUST be submitted in writing on or before the 29th April for consideration by the committee. All nominees must be nominated by a minimum of 2 clubs, all nominations must be on club headed notepaper and must be signed by the chairman and secretary of the club. Details of the date and location of the League AGM will be published shortly.
Please not that the LDL committee will not meet on Tuesday next as the league is playing the Desmond league in the Oscar Traynor, the meeting has been switched to Monday at 7pm players and clubs who wish to see the committee are asked to attend after 9pm.
