Semi-Final Draw
Carrick Utd v Wembley Rvs
Pike Rvs v St Michaels
Games to take place on or before weekending 16th / 17 April 2011.
Balla's decision to play in Bateman back fired big time. Referee bottled the biggest and only decision in the match, everyone except 2 saw that the ball hit Colbert in the leg. Other than that it was good game. Pity at the end when the garda gave out parking tickets

Any thoughts on Pike v St. Michaels. There is sure to be a bit of bite to this one.
its going to be some grudge match. Saints have improved vastly from last season, there defence has been superb since the turn of the year, i actually cant even remember the last time the conceeded. still think pike may have too much though. hoping for saints win but it will be tough to get result in limerick.
pike were excellent today,should have won by more.balla,s contribution throughout was harmless,taking the game to bateman a big mistake,with 4or5 young light players in the team the tight confines of the pitch meant pike would physically dominate in the areas that mattered....having said that playing in l.i.t. wouldn,t have made much difference because the rest of the team are so unfit even bateman showed them up.pikes midfield hartnett and kavanagh very good,balla,s lone plan of lumping the ball up to f.lee with enright so dominant summed things up.
Arguably the best two junior teams in the country at the moment so it should be an excellent game. They will have huge respect for each other. Having seen both play recently Pike are undoubtedly the better team and will be highly fancied to win in Limerick. Saints defence almost impregnable but now the face the best strikeforce in junior football. Should be quite a game. The other semi-final between Carrick Utd and Wembley is also one to look forward to. Carrick as holders will be odds-on favourites to advance. Haven't seen Wembley this season but their results against Piltown and Ashling command respect.
If balla want to be a soccer team they have to move from bateman park, today answered alot of questions the score could have been double figures, who ever made the call should be accounted for pike looked stronger in every position in a very enclosed ground, i think pike will be disappointed on the the sending off the player looks like he will miss ou
Advantage? looking at the match today i would wonder why balla think bateman is an advantage, pike seem to win every ball on the ground and in the air, it could have been double the score, balla will have to bring the younger players through ryan,daly,lee,dunphy looked way to slow at this level, will the ref sleep tonight awful call on the sending off.
i was out watching the balla v pike match colbert should never been sent off, the ref would seriously think about hanging up his whistle after this decision which might cost a player a final appearance
Can the player appeal surly there is some ruling can anyone confirm, if you take out that mistake i thought he did ok he let the game flow.
Look an appeal at a junior game is frivillous, the commitee will always back up the ref bar him admitting to a mistake and without the access to replays that won't happen.
If referee has any common sense he'll admit he made a mistake
My prediction that balla could upset pike seemed to good to be through, but still think it will be a Carrick - St.Michaels final. Michaels have made serious inroads this year and i think they will just be too strong for Pike this time!
with the squad pike have assembled its theirs to lose.
Anyone know where the Carrick Vs Wembley game will be played.
i would just like to say congrats to wembley.they got a well deserved result against aisling with 10 men for about 50 mins.
best of luck against carrick.i think wembley will give carrick a game though they will miss the two lads that were sent off.jason sheehan to come in and do a job in midfield for them after his altitude training.
