Should be an interesting season in 1A, hopefully our form will pick up and we can put a good run together. Alot the team have played together since under 12's so they are quite tightly knit, and had a bit of success. So it should hopefully be a quick return.
Promotion from Div 1 a will be between.Quote:

Daithi O'Donoghue (confirmed) Ger Collopy & Pa Moloney (all to the Boro).
Peter Clarke (to Hill Celtic).
Pa (Who) Moloney (to Caherconlish or Herbertstown).
That's a total of 8 from 15, and only leaves 7 players from last season's squad!!!!!!!!
is that young lad john clifford still with them.
Coonagh's manager from last season got the boot
new manager now in place
Was talking to John clifford the other night and it looks like he is off to star as well as most of the other abbey players..Think graham carey is going back to star as well....Star could be strong contenders next year as well!!!
Night owls is on a friday and saturday night and sometimes a monday night to answer a question asked there recently!!
Did not take long for Abbey to fall apart, shame because they looked like they had the bones of a good team.Quote:

It's been confirmed that Walla (Abbey A manager last year) has stepped down due to not having enough of last years squad staying.
New man in charge is Tom Keogh (Abbey B manager last year), and ruomour has it that all he will be left with it is approx 10 B players to sign.
If this is the case then Abbey will be lucky to stay in Div 1A.
Abbeyvale. - If my memory is corrcect and I might be wrong on this. You probably know a bit more about Abbey than I do. When they got promoted last year the got rid of the Manager(dont know his name He is now with Geraldines I think)It seemed very tough on him as he had out most of that side together.
Its seems as if it is coming back to haunt them. Also as a club its a bad sign if is true so many players a leaving them after being relegated. You would think that they would give it another go and try to get back up. Its now that the club needs these players.
I suppose thats wishful thinking in this day and age. Players are moving around so much there is no such thing as being Loyal to a club.......
Twinke Toes,
Ger Ryan was the former Abbey manager who got shafted in place of a rookie who has now jumped ship. He is a very honirable and decent man (Ger Ryan) who in my company never once criticised Abbey for their actions. Players will come and players will go, Clubmen like him are irreplaceable.....they deserve all they are getting right now.
Are you a winger?
Bonovox.....I wil have to agree with u there anyway....So is the league starting on the 16 august or is that just speculation???
Season starts August 20/21....thats official.
Excellent....20/21.... and i suppose there will be evening matchs as well then for a few weeks...
Any predictions on who will get promoted next year or will u have a look at a few teams before u have a guess???
I'm sure there will be 2/3 weeks of midweeks games as per normal. Too early to predict who is going up. Corbally were most impressive in the second half of last season and could have made an impression in the Premier if Granville hadn't pipped them with their usual late run. It looks like they (Corbally) are going to lose a few players though and might not now be the force. Abbey will undoubtably struggle. At this stage, I will plump for 2 from Summerville, Star and Wembley......will give 2 definites before a ball is kicked in anger though....lets see how the various signings pan out first!
Thanks Bonovox. Could not remember his name. Have come across him(Ger Ryan) a few times on the playing field. Always thought he was a good one.Quote:

Hi twinkletoes......I am trying to determine from your name that you might play on the wing? I have never heard a centre half called twinkletoes :-)
thats true bonovox but i am sure there are a few out there that think they have twinkle toes..like our center half....
Anyone know anything about Iarnrod Eireann's inter-firm team? I hear they have quite a few premier players in their ranks. How would ye rate them?
no don't know who is on it.........anyone know who is in the semi-finals of the joe mckeown(interfirm) i know dell and analog are and i heard sercom also.....???
Any other pre-season friendly's on recently ...... Come on fill us in.....Summerville played newly promoted granville(premier) the other night...Summerville won 3-1 on the night...Not bad...

Understandably nervous, considering we had a poor summer we were expecting a bit of a hiding. 7 o'clock came and passed with no sign of the oppostion. 7:15 came and passed without any sign of the opposition. Now in any junior fixuture i've ever been involved in, and thats alot, a walkover shouldve been awarded to us. But Pat O'brien thought differently. So at 7:30(still no sign of the opposition) we starting heading away, half of us togged out, when the boys finally show up. Pat O'Brien inssited we still had to play, but informed us that he had to be back to work and we better "make it quick". So the match was about to kick off at 7:35, when a loud bang was heard from the hyde road. again, the match was held up for another 15 mins as everyone ran out to see whose car had been broken into. With 1 min to go until full time the score was 1-1, when iarnrod Eireann hit the crossbar with a header, which bounced a full metre out from the line and was picked up by the keeper. Again, Pat O'Brien, (may have been drunk, i dont know) decided to apply his own logic to proceedings and award a goal. This was as much as we could take and we decided to call a halt to the entire shambles. Needless to say the ref was delighted and ran to his car to make it back to work asap. In the end this was only the straw that broke the donkeys back. With cars being broken into, gearbags been nicked, pitches with no nets, no lines, the lowest grade of "ref" possible, and some of the worst pitches around, it all begs the question...........is the whole thing being ran from the chimp enclosure at Dublin zoo???
I hear you and sympatise with you......he should be banned from football.....a joke!

lads,
The above post type is not acceptable on this forum.
Its a personal jibe against another member which is not why we're here.
Its quiet simple guys,if it continues the threads concerned will be locked and the people who cause it will be banned.
Corbally Utd are the Limerick team to watch! A favourite for promotion with young qualitly players like Liam O Flynn,David Owens ,Ado Fitzsimon, Dee Ryan etc all of great potential!

By the way, you'll win nothing in 1A with just young players! See how they'll get on outside in Croom!
Corbally may loose 2 or 3 players but have hung onto the cream of the crop. Players like Fitzsimons and Owens wudnt shy out of tough games and have been great in the eircom U 21 League. Too much quality for any division 1 side
They won't get out of 1a, they have some good players alright, but not enough for promotion.Quote:

Yes the clubhouse is a great job.Will be even better when its finished...Still a bit to do yet but all in good time!!!
Still no sign of fixtures for the semi-finals of the joe mckeown (interfirm) in the paper tonight???
