fair enough trueview.you were obviously at every game.forgot about j.lyons.you are right there.im just going on most of the fai games i saw.b flynn,purcell,considine the 2 whytes were always playing especially the year of the 1st fai in 97/98.as far as i can remember the subs were nearly all the same.rice,parker,collopy,o donnell,gerry kelly were 5 i remember who always seemed to be subbing in the big games.thats just the point im making,i cant remember any of them bar o donnell having much of an impact on games.no point picking up medals if you aint playing.them again i wasnt at the matches in the local competitions so i cant comment on them.

From watching Pike play the other night it looks like they've signed :

Alan Barry
Barry Ryan
Gary Neville
Evan Quinlivan
Jamie Enright
Colm Carroll
Frankie Stewart
Craig McMarlew(Fuzzy on his second name, neat full back??)

They've kept all of last seasons squad apparently. Possibly minus Philip Purcell(Who isn't playing this year apparently, but who knows) And Paddy Mitchell ??

Flynn and Purcell were never subs only when it came to the end of the season when fairview had a backlog of fixtures and were playing 3/4 games a week - if it was a big and important game these 2 started all the time.
The bench for the 97 Fai win was J Hannon,O Donnell,Rice,Sullivan,parker - J Collopy and Kevin Mc Carthy didnt make the bench.

mc carthy didnt make the bench as his knee was banjaxed that year i think?dont remember him playing any of the fai games.also dont remember joe hannon being a sub?nearly certain he was centre back with derek white?id agree with you on flynn and purcell.

I think Mungret will struggle this season, as they've also lost Keith McNicholas.

to be fair i dont think he settled in that well when he first signed for pike, handy player though, v fit and full of energy but wouldn't be surprised to see him sign back for mungret at some stage this season

mungret and geraldines are v similar in my opinion, both relatively young sides and full of running, corbally are in the same mould so it'll be interesting to see how both ends of the league pan out, pike look like being the strongest team so far but fairview will be v strong with t barrett back, himself and heff in the middle of the park will be some pairing!

J Hannon is John Hannon the sub keeper - Gaga was back in training at that stage but i suppose it would have been unfair to have included him instead of players that had been there all season.

well someone shud start up a thread for the desmond league....ill try it

no you are wrong there....jamie did very well at pike. he was used at left full.
He picked up a load of injuries while at pike. He even made the oscar traynor team until he got injured...story of his life

He lost his way and left pike early last year (after starting the first game) and headed back to Mungret..

if he can get over his injuries he will be a good addition to pike

Signed for Geraldines, Vinny has packed it in with Mungret so they are now managerless, not the best situation to be in after just winning promotion.

The fact he went and trained with Fairview when still a Pike player didn't help either...

If fairview have only signed Barrett they're going to struggle this year, He obviously quit Limerick for a reason(Knees are ****ed), and Last I heard there's a few in looking for Danagher alright, Fairview, Pike, Wembley etc... Seems to have dropped off the Limerick Radar altogether.

Paul Finnucane signing with Fairview AFIK..good signing
