The three games they've had cancelled this year. Carew park fixture secretary made a mistake. Fairview game, ya pike got the council to break john whites leg so the match could be abandoned. The third against balla, one of the pike players direct relative passed away.Quote:

Bad result for AA last night, cracking strike from John Barry to win the game. Should be an interesting end to the season.
if herbertstown beat carew saturday night, things are going to get very interesting. This is the best league season in many years, with multiple sides involved in both ends of the table.
Have to agree...Quote:

pike still have alot of games left and alot of points could be dropped from now until the end of the season. They could easily have dropped two points last night, only for 2 late goals. All to play for still. Pike win Sunday it'll be a big blow to boro. It'll mean they can only get to a maxium of 49 points. I don't think a team has ever won the premier league with that amount of points. It's usually in the 50 points range.
who scored for regional last night?
We've dropped handy points at this stage over the last few seasons (we lost to hill celtic this time last year) so nobody at pike will be taking anything for granted.
Theres still a huge amount to play for considering we still have to play our biggest challengers boro and regional as well as a visit to our dear fiends in bateman park
Yeah some good results of late in the league, we beat View 3-1, Corbally 3-1, A/A 2-1 and drew with Carew and Balla both 1-1.Quote:

Carew need the win themselves tomorrow, coz if they lose then they will drop into 2nd bottom, and still with Pike, Regional, A/A, Corbally all still to play it will be tough for them too.

I would like to voice my opinion on gaidin remarks about not many of balla s team getting on pikes eleven.Balla have won at least five or six trophies in the last three years.In my opinion Balla are a very consistant team to du that.How many pike players would get in the Balla team,let me rephrase that ho many EX Park ,Mungret ,Hill Celtic ,Desmond league and foreign nationals get in the Balla team.Thats why the rest of limerick dont like to see pike du well,because they steel other clubs players.Apart from sniffer,ma garry,and morris the rest of the team when they win a trophy could not celebrate the way they would if they won it with the clubs the gave the years to.See the problem with pike is they think they are the biggest club in the country,so they think every tournament they play in they should be favourates.
very few of that balla team would walk on the pike team if any. proven by pike beating balla in most of the big games they have played against each other over the last 3 or 4 seasons. this year pike have the best squad they've had in years and balla are not as strong as they were a couple of seasons ago. You talk about players joining pike, its hardly pikes fault players want to play for them. The success they've had coupled with the facilities they have, why wouldn't players want to play for them. True balla have had a successful few years, but its the same group of players year in year out and who would want to play out in bateman every second week. In a few more years balla will be like carew are now. Pike have the best squad in limerick. no one can deny that. proven by them being the team still involved in the most competitions.
wel dirk lets hope your predictions are the same as they were from the MJC thread!! and players that would want to play wit balla every second week out in bateman are players that are dedicated to their club that have been wit them since underage.. not that ye would know anything about that :pQuote:

also you saying balla will turn out like carew in a few years is nonsense, because balla have a b team c team and numerous under age teams and a good club structure despite having no base

who is the player that was meant to of signed??Quote:

Charleville 0 - 3 Fairview
Only other one I heard was that Carew beat Herbertstown last night (dont know score) so that should be the end of the two country teams.
think it was 4-1 to carewQuote:

i'll be glad to see charleville go down
You still didnt answer my question though. I honestly dont think any of ballas first 11 would get in the Pike team. Maybe Dunphy. Apart from that I dont the others would.Quote:

And I agree with you about Balla being a consistent team. They won the league 2 years in a row and a lot of other trophies. So they must have some sonsistency. But Im saying THIS years team isnt as good as Pikes.

I think that the regional & view games are away, not sure about other games?
Boro have Granville & star at home, with Fairview away..
we lost an opportuntiy to more or less win the league yesterday especially after going one nil up and looking comfortable at half time .... no complaints though, boro deserved it over the 90 minutes
as far as I know our remaining fixture are
Home: Carew, Herbertstown, Corbally
Away: Regional, Balla, Fairview
..... a handy enough run!!!!
I have to reply to this horse sh!t as well ....Quote:

That bullsh!t above is typical of some of the stuff on here .... blame pike for everything from the war in iraq to the price of a pint.
Would expect you to win your 3 home one handy enough..Quote:

I wonder what order the F/S with run off the remaining fixtures...????
what order do you think would be fair?
the order in which the 1st round fixtures were playedQuote:

Was Quinny not in the pike team a couple of seasons ago,when they had maybe a better team then thay have now:confused:
[QUOTE=themerryman;675901]I dunno? But he wouldnt get in the Pike team this season going on a lot of his performances. Just my opinion.Quote:

Im just saying THIS season I havent been impressed by them and I feel that Pike have a stronger team.
How many of the current balla A team do you think would get in the Pike first 11?
How did the irish junior team get on the other day?
anymore reports on the pike and boro game?heard boro really upped the tempo in the 2nd half and that they had 2 0r 3 more chances to score.a neutral told me that alot of pikes supposedly better players werent up to much and that hartnett spent half the game cracking up.
