Limerick Premier Division 2007/08

i think everyone is taking a good look at carew park this season, but every club does it, i remember last year when the boro were away to granville and when they put it to them the abuse from the boro line was a disgrace, the same when balla lost to mungret in the lawson last year, mungret were 4-0 up at half time, dunphy nearly broke their forwards leg and didnt even get a booking but the line gave the lad dogs abuse all game for diving with threats of how the injury could be permanent, every club does the same so carew park are no different

pike have about as many ex school boys in their squad as AA, regional, boro, wembley, carew, star and a few others.

you'll also find ex pike schoolboys around the other clubs including Noel Noonan at carew and paul quinn at balla and if Im not mistaken did abbeyvale at one time wear the hoops

If you count the whole squad,you have Wayne O'Donovan,Dermot Phelan,Davy Morris,Pat McGarry,Frankie Stewart

Anyway what was your point?

Wayne O'Donovan played schoolboy with the boro and then went to wembley.
Good kid with an excellent attitude..

were both of the ties that you mention ABANDONED..? How many players from teams metioned were sent off in both matches..? no club can claim to have the moral high ground concerning verbally abusing ref's, but some dont have any ground to stand on at all.

I'm almost positive he played U-10's with Pike at one stage,sure with having both his Dad and grandad steeped in Pike its hard not to.Was part of that first wave of Wembley underage teams to do well in the fai's too

neither of the games were abandoned wich makes no diffrence really, the abuse is still there in EVERY game no matter what, the standard of refereeing can be the blame too

Bit more to Frankie leaving than that. Not going to go into it on this site though.

there was no regional when the current team were schoolboys
carew dont have schoolboys
most of the wembley team played on the same 16s team afew years ago
abbeyvale and whitesripe will prove there teams played schoolboy
that leaves the boro who are mostly ex corbally at least they all stuck together even if it is at another club

Of boro's 13 players last weekend
5 ex boro schoolboys
3 ex corbally
2 ex Star
1 ex Geraldines
1 ex Granville
1 not applicable.

5 players missing
2 ex corbally
2 ex boro
1 not applicable

Hope that is enough info for you

"1 not applicable" what does this mean...they didn't play schoolboy football??

Going on the above the boro could have more former ex corbally players in their starting lineup for their next game than boro players who came through from their under age teams.

Janesbally has a nice ring to it.

I wasn't looking to start a statistical analysis on who played for who growing up, just pointing out that there are a lot more than pike with players who came from other clubs but of course its far easier to say pike are this and pike are that... you've basically proved my point ...

So does Kennedy Park.......

also Pike now have teams at every age group up to under 14's and next year will add a 15's, the year after 16's.

Last years outgoing committee/chairman wasn't all that interested in schoolboys but the new chairman/committee/managers are 100% committed to developing them so that in a few years we'll see another crop of talent playing junior
