FINAL
Carrick Utd v Limerick FC
Fixed for Monday 23rd May 2011 at Tom Drohan Park, Coolnamuck, Carrick-on-Suir with a 7-00pm kick-off.
The Munster Senior Cup final will take place on Monday May 23rd at Tom Drohan Park, Coolnamuck Road, Carrick-on-Suir, with the kick-off set at 7:00pm.
The final will be contested between Limerick FC and Carrick United. The Blues overcame Douglas Hall in the last four to guarantee their place in the final while junior side Carrick played out somewhat of a giant killing, overcoming Cork City by a solitary goal to nil.
Limerick have a proud history in the Munster Senior Cup winning it eleven times, most recently in 2006. While it may not be top of Pat Scully’s priority list, the Limerick fans would welcome some long awaited silverware to Shannonside.
For Carrick, the prize is a much bigger target. As a junior side, it would be a fantastic accomplishment for all involved, surpassing all the participating Airtricity League sides to claim the trophy in front of their home support.
1A Play Off Piltown V Grannagh Tonight Thurday @ 6.30pm Ozier Park
This promises to be a cracking encounter and has alot riding on it, to become 1A chmapions and alos become a premier league team for next season Piltown have some ex carrick united players in Tony Reade and Ger Walsh in their ranks along with the likes of Mark O Driscoil and Glenn Conway have alot of experience. Grannagh beat Piltown 2-1 in the cup last week and look to be strong in the midfield area especially. I fancy Piltown and the pace of Alan Walsh to break down Grannagh and send them up.
Tonight is another major occasion in the history of Carrick United as they entertain Limerick in the Munster Senior Cup Final. It's another big night in Tom Drohan Park and let's hope the local support attends in big numbers.
Weather is due to improve so everything set up for what promises to be a big night.
Following on from the shock win over Cork City , will Carrick again upset the odds?
Kick-off - Tom Drohan Park - 7pm
congrats to carrick on winning munster senior cup, the players down there now have some array of medals. fai junior, munster senior and junior plus all domestic ones. fair play to them
Historic night in Tom Drohan Park last evening with the winning of the Munster Senior Cup. This was the last year that Junior teams were allowed in the competition.
An amazing bunch of players who have won 9 Premier league titles in the last twelve years, 2 Munster Junior Cups, 1 FAI Junior Cup and now the Munster Senior Cup.
Well done to Brian Barry, his coaching team and squad.
A massive crowd along with the local Brass Band which provided a great atmosphere.
Will Carrick be allowed to defend their title next year?
Nope but we dont mind that much its a bonus competition and hopefully we will win the junior league winners cup next year.Quote:

Looks like carrick going to lose mcsharry to waterford utd and with alan coady and sconnie walsh in oz and wayne fitz prob retiring they may struggle next season unless they get a few new signings in.
Possibly so but there is still a good core group of players, Carrick will want to promote within the club first prior to signing anyone although no one has being mentioned yet as a possible signing. Teams come in cycles and for the best part of 15 years we have have being challeneging for major honours if we have a few years out of the limelight so be it but we have a serious academy producing very good footballers who will no doubt plug the gap in years to come in and drive us on to league and hopefully provincial and national sucessQuote:

The winner of each group will qualify for the final which takes place on Tuesday, June 28 with Portugal, Czech Republic, Germany and Ukraine waiting on the other side of the draw.
Speaking after the squad announcement, Irish manager Gerry Smith said, "All of the teams at the UEFA Regions Cup final are going to be strong but our focus, first and foremost is going to be on our first game against Turkey. They came through a long qualifying route which included a preliminary qualifying campaign and they put a strong England side to the sword in a 3-0 victory to qualify for the finals," said Smith.
"Over the past number of weeks, I have had to make a lot of difficult decisions about the make-up of this squad. I would like to thank all of the players who took part in our preparation for these finals and while there were a lot of difficult decisions to make, I hope that those decisions will bear fruit in the coming weeks," he added.

Heard there is a change of management for Carrick Utd next year,Sam and Magic 2 very expierienced men they will need a few new signings but i think they will do a great job.
So I believe, delighted that Magic has got back invovled with the squad, I wish them the best for the new season. I wonder could Sam try to bring back his son's from Piltown?
No harm in asking them i suppose but i think the lads will give one season with Piltown in the premier after all the hard work they both put in getting them there,although i heard 3 young lads have agreed to sign for carrick for the coming season from various teams in Waterford.
Best of luck to Sam and Kevin in their new posts. Keep it goin' lads!!!
Do you have names???Quote:
