The Wesley Web hasnt always been just for Shannon Teams, I remember when Star Rovers used to play in it when it was held in the two pitches that Sennan's rugby team play in now. Im almost sure that there was also another 1 or 2 teams from Limerick in it also. By bringing back a couple of Limerick teams it might make the tournament more desirable to win. Teams like newtown would be able to use it as a gauge to see how far behind the Limerick league they are.
:Dgetting your tournaments mixed up ... park rangers tournamentQuote:

You ure mixing the Wesley Webb up with the Park tournament. The park tournament had a mixture of Clare league and Limerick teams involved.Quote:

Question for you "The Boss". Is there any truth that Lifford will be entering a "B" team for the coming season? :confused:
The only thing I remember it for was how biased the Limerick referees were!!!Quote:

I believe all Shannon pitches are closed at present,but for different reasons.Newtwown and Rangers are working on theirs in the close season ,I think the others are let grow wild to facilitate the local birds and wild animals.If you do this you get a grant from the Department of the Environement as proposed by the Green Party.Quote:

:ball:how many wesley matches have you watched were limerick teams are playing clare teams .... all major decisions seem to go way of limerick based teams .. :ball: :ball:Quote:

is davy wall returning to the clare league,he would be a huge loss to the limerick league if he went.
this sums up the standard of clare soccer for me when ye keep harping on about this webb tournament,it prob has alot of sentimental value to ye as a tournament but as regards a trophy to win iv never heard of it,is it any wonder yer best players leave for a higher standard in the limerick league,[dave o grady daryl eades davey wall mike omalley scalesy seamie lawlor nabs just to name a few ]
I dont remember anybody trying to pretend that the standard of the clare league is very high. Everyone acknowledges that the limerick league is at a higher standard, and if you look back over the previous posts you'll read about how poor the standard of refs and pitches are. So apart from stating the obvious I dont really see what point your trying to make.
Would you not start a thread yourself as everything everyone else says seems to up set your sensitive nature...or do u get out of the wrong side of the bed everyday on purpose??What is the case at the moment doesnt have to continue that way forever so discussion allows for views to be expressed which may result in improvement.This website allows a foruem for discussion which may help with this much sought after improvement.Quote:
