Finally is right Twotouch. I am baffled as to why the league is starting so late, possibly giving the GAA time to finish (which is a poor reflection on the league IMO).
All very quiet on the transfer side. Shane Stack gone to Aisling from NCW but I did see Liam MCCartan in one of NCW pre season friendly pics - good signing if he plays.
Glin and NCW back training for quite some time so they’ll be itching to go. They might challenge Rathkeale and Abbey for league. Time will tell.
Wasn't shane stack with janesboro last year?? I could be mistaken. Heard the 2 murphys are gone back to Athea
Fixtures are out
Abbeyfeale V NCW
Adare V Ballingarry
Broadford V Carrig
Kilcornan V Glin
Rathkeale V Granagh
Great to see it returning. Stack was with boro but signed back for ncw in Jan I think. Yea heard the 2 murphys are gone back to athea
With covid etc is there a home and away league as normal or just one game against each team ?
Any word on other teams, was hearing Ballysteen are coming back
No full set of fixtures. Hopefully we can get through the season safely
Have you the division 1 fixtures twotouch? Can't see any fixtures anywhere. Where did you get them?
There's no hope of finishing the season proper this season i think. Some teams have 9 games played in the city before we even start. Wet weather will see games called off soon and fai Cup to start soon. We'll be lucky to have 5 league games played by Christmas. Desmond league have surely lost players to the city because of the delay, and i don't think they'd care if they did.
Hard to see many surprises this year. Think the usuals will challenge. Adare appear to have copped on a bit and should be better than last year so there may be a good battle at the bottom between a few.
Can't wait to be back
Ambitious to put it mildly playing full set of fixtures ! Other sports playing knockout only and we are playing 18 game league with covid kicking off again ??
They were the only fixtures I seen... all other leagues are playing full fixtures abbeyman. I for 1 think it’s great u have to think positive

Is Division 2 only 6 teams?
agree two touch - have to be positive - this thing will be lingering, you do your best to play out - do the FAI|Munster comps go ahead??
Yeah only 6 in division 2. The 6 that were there last year and division 3 is returning teams - not a bad idea.
Most soccer leagues across country playing full fixture list so good that ours is staying positive and attempting to do so as well.
I see in the observer Chris Smith is gone from Abbey and Kilcornan and Ballingarry have recruited well. I expect the premier to be a bit tighter this year. Mid-table teams seemed to be more competitive to the top 3 last season, I think it will be similar this year. Not sure are they getting stronger or the top getting weaker. Either way it makes for an exciting league and it’s great to have a bit of normality back.
ah, fair enough way to break it up - is that 2 or 3 round's of fixtures then? presumable 3 for 15 games
Shannonside surely looking for promotion after getting Mike Ahern in. Kilcornan recruited well too
Any results from today or match reports
Carrig were beaten by Broadford 6-1. Jamie Keane got 4.
Abbey 1-1 Newcastle West Town
Kilcornan 1-2 Glin
Going to be a strange season again . Hard to see the restrictions stopping after the coming 3 weeks
Is it possible we will have scheduled games next month with easing of restrictions expected as long as numbers remain low? Obviously it’s a bad time of year with weather expected to take a turn in next few weeks but with most pitches after getting a well deserved break the past 8/9 months we could get one or two league games out of the way in December and maybe another one or two in January. Maybe I’m just wishful thinking.....
Hi Guys, Would this be the main forum or is there another one for Limerick Junior soccer?
Thanks.
As you can see by the ceaseless activity on here couscous, you've come to the right place ;):DQuote:

Some players are chomping at the bit whilst some have put on a lot of conditioning , others might not to want to go back to sacrificing 26 Sundays a year and have discovered other interests . Be a challenge for all sports including underage teams .
Ferry Rangers have joined the Kerry District League I notice. Played a couple of cup games recently.
