who is my own crowd?
i have had several dealings with the man and dont like him as a person or a player and i think he is decidedly over rated
i know keith personally and i have to say aswell as beign a top junior player he's a decent bloke and if he does join lim37 pike will miss out on 20 goals a season and from midfield that's irreplaceable,he's a junior international and he's earned the right to be,over the last few seasons there's been no better midfielder in the town no wander he likes the attention he deserves it, but he dont bring it on himself other people start the rumours because they dont like him, maybe if they get to know him it might change their minds! i dont think he'll leave pike to go to lim37 but if he did nobody could begrudge him another crack at itQuote:

did keith not get left out of the latest junior squad?
all the limerick players did... lads lets get off the KH crap and back to the footy
Typical.Quote:

Know I asked previously re League history of past champions, and was grateful for suggestions, though difficult when not Ireland based. Have taken a gander at a number of Club websites and if correct
Ballynanty Rovers champions 1958/59, 59/60, 60/61, 61/62,62/63, 81/82
Fairview Rangers champions 1969/70, 1973/74, 75/76, 76/77, 88/89, 90/91, 91/92, 92/93, 93/94, 95/96, 96/97, 97/98, 98/99, 99/2000, 2002/03
Mungret Region Champions 1987/88
Pike Rovers Champions 2001/02 runners up 2002/03
Can anyone tell us details of champions and if possible runners up since 2002/03, and any other Premier league wins not shown above. Thought that Pike with their history would have had more titles.
Many thanks for any info forwarded.
Alan barry is an excellent striker but in my opinion he is not as good as Killesters front 2.He must be worth a place on the panel though.Gives a different option to the Killester speedsters.
Pike also won a premier leage in 94/95 season. Before that I can't tell you I'm afraid. Pike are the only team in the premier league to never be relegated out of the top division in Limerick. Alot of their history comes from playing in the Munster Senior League.Quote:

alan carroll (boro) ger bourke (regional) paul cummins (aishling) brian buckley (fairview) that's only four plus the players that went up for training and add pat mcgarry to them that's 8 players that i think should be capped at some stage! mcgarry and buckley would make some partnership at centre half! what do you think?Quote:

think there might have been a couple more in the 80's not sure..
runners up to fairview a lot in the 90's
he is ya! he's only back a few weeks but he has to be good enough for a cap!Quote:

he played centre half against balla on sunday and was solid! that young lad must be a good player if he gave "chucka" the run around, the only other player i seen give him the run around was frankie stewart when he played with pike, a load of times and "chucka" was an international centre half at the time! where's frankie playing these days i dont see his name on the paper that oftenQuote:

Was at the game-wasnt his best but it was also one of his first games in a long time so bound not to be sharp.Anyway playing Buckley at left full is madness.You put him in center half where he can dominate and play to his strengths.He is never gonna be the type of player that is overlapping the left winger.Quote:

well said!he's a top class centre half and a great addition to the "view".Quote:

Out of curiosity does the Trophy for winning the Limerick Premier League have a particular title ?
Though posted on relevant thread, would I be correct in that the Lawson Cup is seen as principle cup for the Limerick League ?
Though no longer a Premier team note that Caledonian FC from their web-site produced a souvenier History booklet in 2007 does anyone know how I can obtain a copy, dont seem to find a contact on web-site.
If anyone interested willing to post list of past champions (known).
ya nabs was good in his first season,he scored 32 goals and won a cap but he had the brain of a gold-fish and he went down hill after that season! a sound young fella too if you know him just easily led.Quote:
