very interesting this year with ryan in charge there wont be any of the usual picking friends in the squad for the simple reason aidan ryan doesnt have any...
I imagine the squad for the up coming game at the end of the month will be announced soon, anyone any ideas on who will be in the squad?
you could hazard a guess, people will have opinions but at the end of the day it will be aidan picking the squad. Hope he picks people who want to do really well in this. The league needs to push this more in rewarding players maybe some training gear etc would not be a bad idea.
anyway no matter who is picked the manager will be slated for his decisions.
I think the squad will consist mainly of Fairview and Pike players witha few from Regional maybe. From reports i've heard, Maher from Summerville has a good chance of making it too, a lot of teams are chasing him Ian I think his name is, think he is a younger brother of Cyril but supposed to be a lot better.
I see the OT team are down to play on Thursday Night the 25th Oct at Jackman Park against Cork SL
Bit strange fixing a game without announcing the squad?
8 pike players were picked
Heard it's the AA keeper and the Regional keeper
balla and corbally keepers are the goalies
was talking to a Regional player and he told me that they have 4 on it
Anthony Russell - Keeper
Mark Sheehan - Left Back
Shane O Donoghue - Midfield
Ger Bourke - Midfield
Danny Galvin turned it down
Heard Dunphy from Balla and Heffernan from Kilmallock are also in.
Also heard that aa keeper and Regional keeper are in and that Stewert was not asked.
can't believe smackers was overlooked for the regional keeper. Just shows what aidan ryan knows about football.
does anyone actually know what the entire squad is ???????
frankie lee turned it down
he was trying to sign him for backup to smackers I heard
Anthony Russell
Paudie Hickey
Aaron Gilmartin
Dave Dunphy
Mark Sheehan
Jamie Enright
Pat McGarry,
Tom Daly

Keith Hartnett
Dave Wall,
Cyril Maher
Shane O Donoghue
Ger Bourke
Paul Quinn
John Boyle
Liam Barrett
Shane Guerin
Christy Doyle
Alan Barry
Tommy Heffernan
Anthony Cusack
Jesus, every time Pike try and fail to sign a player, they say he was only asked as back up, but when they succeed in signing a player, its because he's a class act.
Then when a player leaves Pike, most (rather than wish him the best of luck) make little of the player.
Christy Doyle plays for Fairview, good player, doesn't John Boyle play on the left??
This is the actual squad selected.
Pat McGarry (Pike) Captain
Philip Purcell (Pike)
David Wall (Pike)
Keith Hartnett (Pike)
James Enright (Pike)
David Dunphy (Balla)
Shane Guerin (Balla)
Robert Brock (Balla)
Micheal Russell (Regional)
Shane O'Donoughe (Regional)
Ger Burke (Regional)
Mark Sheehan (Regional)
Aoran Gilmartin (A/A)
John Mescal (A/A)
Leo Wong (Hill Celtic)
Thomas Heffernan (Killmallock)
Alan Barry (Boro)
John Boyle (Carew)
First match is weekend 27/28 of Oct V's M.SL (Home)
Limerick play the Munster Senior League next Thursday, just wondering which league that the MSL pull there players from? the Senior League or the Junior League??
a few strange choices,seems to be going with a few people he knows.i would not be surprised if cecil prendergast got a game at centre half :)
out of that bunch of players, who aren't the players I think should be on it.
GK:gilmartin (haven't seen him but suppose to be very good)
CB: McGarry
CB: Daly
RB: Dunphy
LB: Sheahan
CM: Hartnett
CM: Wall
LM: Boyle
RM: Bourke
CF: Barry
CF: Guerin
by far not the best team that could have been put together. How much premier football has Ryan seen. No left winger in the squad and a lack of centre forwards. Wong and Heffernan??
is that the same Burke who played with limerick?
big shortage of forwards if barry is going to play considering his been out for the last 6 months..
if barry is in it id have paul harmon in the squad
Alan Carroll should be in that squad...
Ado Fitzsimmons as well
I know that both are comming back from injury but they were outstanding all of last season..
Daly not in the squad, Heffernan plays up front with Kilmallock very good player, most of the premier was trying to sign him in the Summer will get promoted this year with the hometown club i think, Wong is a strange one alright!
Reckon the team will be:
GK:Russell
CB: McGarry
CB: Purcell
RB: Dunphy
LB: Sheahan
CM: Hartnett
CM: Mescall
LM: Brock
RM: O Donoghue
CF: Barry
CF: Wall
