Viewed League website but does not have historic section.
Does anyone know anything re Leagues history, re past champions/runners up.
Re city soccer history , LFC well known as being formed in 1937, who is oldest junior club (Pike Rovers 1930's ), is anything known re when first ever club formed in City ?
Many thanks

Leagues at Intermediate/Junior level, overall, do not seem to be well documented re historic data. This has developed as a bit of a hobby collating info.
Also fascinated by history of soccer in city. 1937 is known as the year City had first senior club. Was this a totally new club formed to gain admission to the league ?, granting of senior status to an already established Junior club, and year of senior status taken as year of formation. Or an amalgamation of junior clubs to form senior club ?
1891/92 IFA Cup final was between Linfield & Black Watch Regiment shown as garrisoned in Limerick. As with other garrison towns it was matches between army and locals that led to formation of town or local clubs examples-Athlone & Sligo. In Limerick's case just find it fascinating soccer seems to have to taken so long to take hold, considering city's size. Do know re rugby & gaa, but surely soccer must have been played as well.
Know city had success in Munster Junior Cup 1920's.
Green Hoop - you asked there you are !
u can b sure of that:DQuote:

He would get on any team in town, and that includes Pike & Balla.

If he doesnt know it about local football, at junior and senior level over the years, then its not worth knowing.
If you want to chase him up drop me a private message and I'll give you what little details I know about how to track him down
Get in contact with the chairman of Shelbourne what he doesn't know about Limerick Junior soccer isn't worth knowing very nice auld lad.Quote:

As the old saying goes "The opposition cant score from the edge of their own box, or when the ball is out of play".......Now thats typical Geraldines talk..:p
Pike lack pace in crucial areas and therefore will not win FAI Junior Cup.
As for money who cares if they pay players? They have a big clubhouse and club lotto and seem pretty self-sufficient. Its not as if they are using the tax payers money so dont see what all the fuss is over. Im sure every player would prefer to win a MJ or FAI with their local club but this is clearly unrealistic so what harm is there in wanting a bit of success in a players short career?
thank you...niall bennis signd for pike B.....johnny corbett and kevin fitzpatrick have signed for pike AQuote:

Though oldest clubs (Prospect & Shelbourne) in city take it a while since they've been top dogs on local scene. If correct Prospect , Munster Junior Cup Runn/up 1926/27, Shelbourne 1959/60.
Where do pike lack pace. I think they have plenty where needed and even at that who says pace wins FAI's ?Quote:

This is from watching them over a long period. Hence why they have not won FAI Cup and struggle to keep clean sheets against better opposition.
Dont get me wrong im not saying they are not good players i just think this hampers them from winning the top trophy as i believe you need pace to win FAI Cups.
Bit harsh. This is only our second season up in the premier division, do you expect us to have won the league already or something? last year we finished in the top half of the table. It certainly wasnt an uphill battle. This year fair enough we are in a bad position but we have been very unlucky with the results so far. We were awful in the first game of the season against s'ville but besides that Pike were the only team that deserved to beat us so far.Quote:

I know they leave it up to the home teams to make a decision but I feel they should have made the decision in the interest of all involved and avoiding people having to travel on one of the worst weekends in a long time.
I know we had people travelling long distances to get back for our game and its just not good enough to have people out making journeys that are not necessary.......
Hopefully "the powers that be" might learn for the future !! although I have my doubts as probably cared very little as they were nicely tucked up in there beds while the rest of us were out on the roads travelling to games that had little or no chance of being on.
Anyways gripe for the day over... Back to football.
