Anybody have any comments on this years competition
regional from limerick are the surprise team no one expected them to get this far, whose on their side of the draw, just shows you how strong the limerick league is compared to others around the country, well done regional fair play
I know newcastle west are into the quarter final aswell, what other limerick league teams are left in it and does any know how newcastle are rated?
Whistler,
Who do you think are favourites to win it this year? I see fairview got knocked out yesterday, how many limerick sides are left in the competition?
st michaels from tipp have to be favourates after beating fairview yesterday. was at game fairview were well on top and wayne scored great goal in 1st half but second half was all saints and they deserved there win. fairview need a better goalkeeper cost them game yesterday. dont mind all this talk about how good limericks league is yeah standard is high but saints or clonmel town wud beat any limerick side.
leeside take on st.michaels.. michaels a good side but expect leeside to give them a good game.. lots of young talent and 3 of the players on oscar traynor first team

There seems to be a lot of talk about michaels, town and carrick but i think tralee dynamos are being overlooked. There a very good footballing side, and they have a home draw to a very average waterford premier team in the 1/4 finals. Who are town dew to play in the 1/4 finals those anyone know? Interestingly if both carrick and town win there respective 1/4 finals they will meet in the semi-final, a replay of last years final!!
if you look at the teams left it seems harder to win the munster
i'll go for clonmel
A - Hill Celtic or Tralee Dynamos V Ballingarry or Ferrybank or Rineanna Rvs or Castleview
B - Hibernians or Newcastle West or Crosshaven or Fermoy V Carrick United
C - Clonmel Town V Regional Utd
D - St Michael's V Leeside
think the semi wil be a v d & b v c
After last weekend it should prob look more like this..... Could be wrong!!!!!!!Quote:

In the top half of the draw I expect more games are played too but I'm not sure. Something tells me its Tralee vs Ferrybank but not too sure. :confused: :confused: :confused:
You're correct its ferrybank away to tralee, does anybody have any information on regional?Quote:

Two centre halfs have a lot of experience which could be translated into "no pace" ... Fair play to them for getting this far but I would imagine that it will be the end of the road .. If they were at home you might say they would have a chance ...
I Cant See A Team Like Regional Or Newcastle West Going Anyfurther But I Think It Would Be Great If They Did For All Neutrals . The Advantage To These Sides Is Nothing Is Expected Of Them The Underdog Tag Is The Best To Have
A trip to Tralee is not an easy option for anyone.
They should beat Ferrybank, then will have Micheals at home at the Kerry League ground. Don't be surprised if they reach the final.
The other semi final should see Carrick host Clonmel in Waterford.
How Good Are Tralee
I Know They Have A Great Set Up But That's All I Know Any Info??
Tralee ar every solid at the back, they like to play football and keep the ball on the deck. They have two great ball players in the middle of the park, ther main playmaker is a chap called sammy (samier). An excellent player with good vision and all the tricks, he plays in the middle of the park. The two in the middle can be kept quiet if you get stuck in on them. Their two strikers like to drop deep for the ball and interchange passes with the midfield, they werent a big threat on goal when i saw them but one is a good target man in the air. Overall an excellent footballing side all round but not very clinical upfront!Quote:

Don't be too surprised if they caused a shock down in Tralee. Then they would have a home semi final at their fantastic facilities in Ferrybank, and if they were to meet Carrick in a final they have every chance of beating them. Last year carrick only beat them on penalties in the earlier rounds of the FAI Junior Cup!!
Ferrybank v Carrick the worst game played this season. It was played in awfull windy conditions, Ferrybank hoffed the ball all over the park, time wasting etc. and the ref was quite woefull. The bloodly ball was black and blue, good job no aircraft were flying low !!. It this is Waterford Premier Football god help us. If Carrick were allowed to play football they would have won.
Tralee will beat Ferrybank, unlike Carrick Tralee will love the hoffing game Ferrybank play and the gale of saturday will have blown out.
Ferrybanks facilities !!, good yes but the pitch is a bog. As for Ferrybank reaching the final. Well semi's must be played on a nuteral ground that would be Ozier. There opponents would possibly be St. Micheals who to be honest would be far to good for Ferrybank.
As for Carrick on Saturdays display they will win nothing, but they will not face GAA like teams in gale like conditions either each weekend.
But my word that referee on Saturday was the pits, the game was woeful and he was not interested. He seems to want trouble, a bully boy referee if ever I saw one.
How can you possibly say the pitch is a bog?? I was at the game and there was nothing wrong with the pitch in fact it is one of the better junior league pitches in Munster.
All I am saying is yes of course it will be very hard for Ferrybank but don't write them off as they are capable of getting results even down in Tralee.
As for your comments about the referee. If the Carrick management stopped complaing and moaning about everything in the game there would not be a problem. Carrick were lucky not to have the game abandoned with the way they were carrying on referees have ahard enough job to do without this kind of rubbish. Maybe it's just Carrick feeling under pressure.
Your comments about the facilities are totally unfair too. Ferrybank are probably the most progressive club in the Waterford Junior League. Go back to the ground for next season and you will see a brand spanking new pitch that will then give them two quality pitches, and with also exceelent training and dressing room facilitities. Give credit where credit is due Irish Eagle
I disagree with your point that carrick will win nothing, carrick tried to play ball but werent allowed with the ball being constantly pumped down on their back four all day. They were by far the better team and didnt win simply because they failed to take their chances. Have you seen all of their games this year or are you just writing them off on the one game you have seen. Be realistic hear, theres not a team in the country that performs to the top of their abilities week in week out. The referee was a disgrace!! Nothing new there thoughQuote:

I feel that yee will have to pose a bigger threat up front if yee want to beat them, and in the big lad i dont think hes good enough. Their back four are very solid as were ferrybank's on saturday, and they've an excellent midfield pairing. Yee will have to be on top form to turn them overQuote:

Carrick will in my opinion will still win the league as they are by far the best team in it. But I stand by what I said earlier if it was an all Waterford Munster Junior Cup final then I think Ferrybank would be more than capable of beating Carrick on the day
Was the game myself. Don't know how you can say the goalkeeper cost them the game. St. Michael's first goal was a scramble with everybody involved. And the keeper had no chance for the second, a ambitious shot by Aaron Moroney (Ex Carrick Utd, Clonmel Town), the only thing he did for the whole 90 mins. Michaels are a beatable team, and should have been beaten on this occasion. Barry Ryan striker is past his sell by date.Quote:

The Carrick mentors work hard at their team game like every other club and do not deserve the comments above.
I believe Carrick have six home games in the league, hence the ball is in their court.
Referee's are paided thus you expect better then what was on offer on Saturday. If he was refereing in the AUL the run would be put on him. Ferrybanks facilities are good but no better then most of the progressive clubs in the country, which has to be applauded.
Micheals are a very good side, it will take a good team to beat them. Would love to see a Micheal v Carrick final, here football would be the winner.
He's been playing with michael's since about november i think, maybe earlier.Quote:

Clonmel town still have to play their 1/4 final against regional united of limerick, carrick are due to play the winners of that game. That is scheduled for next weekend in clonmel.Quote:

Regional play Clonmel in the Munster Junior Cup on on Sunday, have they got any hope of success?. If Town win three Tipperary teams and a Kerry team will remain, Carrick Utd. play in the Waterford League but are based in South Tipperary. So were are all the super :ball: Limerick teams !!

carrick and clonmel play each other in semi, neither team is as good as last year but are still vert evenly matched. saint michaels i think will win the cup if they get to final
