Limerick 2-0 mervue, home debut goal for cummins and one from walsh. Hopefully it'll be a 4-4-2 this week. Bringing up a few extra lads for this match to try get them hooked. Hopefully more people can convince a few more bodies in the gate.
What's the predictions?
Anyone up for a few still house beers beforehand?
I'm going for a 2-0 Limerick win and a few Paulaners

We should all make an effort to bring some extra bodies to this match.A big crowd and a decent performance would help the club big time going forward.I'm bringing 2 newbies.

yes everyone try and bring at least one friend. Season for helping out lads, get one friend hooked on us this year and we have them for life. Bring kids, leo will be there.
Ryan, Daly, Deedy, O'Callaghan, Danagher
Walsh, Manjor, Wunch, Yellow, Cummins and Tierney
What kind of panel you got this year?
Wish you all the best for the new season.
Great you are all doing your best to encourage extra people to come to the games. Looking forward to the Munster derbys this season!
Good squad assembled this year. All fit and injury free we will be one of the better teams in the league i'd say. If we perform like we did at the end of last season we will be one of the teams noone will be looking forward to playing.
Best of luck to Waterford too, its going to be a tough season for all teams but hopefully the entertainment value of it this year might get more bodies in the gates for all clubs involved.
Have not seen Wunch does he deserve to be in instead of Colbert.No Purcell or Barrett ...;acks a bit of experience.my Limerick team would be Ryan Daly Purcell Callaghan o'brien,or storan,(dont know deedy)carroll colbert, barrett,walsh,cummins and Tierney (is Hughes still injured?)play him if he is fit maybe.good bench options this year manjo hayes ryan and lyons to name a few
1-1. Limerick to struggle against an 11 man defence with only 1 up front, Walsh to get sent off for fouling the ref and Manjor to get arrested for crowd disorder.
Oh joy.
Us 8/13
Draw 5/2
Them 4/1
May I suggest Mervue +1 @ 6/5 in Hacketts.

One thing you will get from Mervue is plenty of chances especially from midfield. Their back four is solid enough with Keady at centre half. Up front they had nothing against us and only had 3 shots in 90 mins, two over the crossbar and one straight at our keeper. Our pace on the pitch killed them and I am sure that Limerick will do the same to them. We could have won by 6 with all the possession we had

From that video they look pretty weak down the right side of their defence, athlone got plenty of chances working down that wing, hopefully walsh can exploit it. Athlones finishing was very poor but barr that they do look a little better in attack than last season, created plenty of chances.
Limerick to win 2-0
Bit worried about this one but think we'll scrape it 2-1. From the sound of it the lads were strugglin due to a lack of pre season v UCD. This basically so is our second game! Which means some of the new faces need to adapt to the style of play and the existing player still need match sharpness. Should overcome Mervue though but still see a tight match here. Here's praying its not a five man midfield again!!!!
Where is the best place to park around Jackman.
I'll update this next year.
Probably the train station. It's only a 2 minute walk around the corner from there then
Think a lot of the city centre car parks are open late but if you get there early enough you should get a spot just outside the ground. Now I know some people think this as being risky but iv never heard of any problems with parked cars outside since we moved back to Fort Jackass.
