I also remember a three game cup saga with Limeirck at the time before they edged through.

The 3 game cup saga was in 1981. 2-2 at the Markets Field then 1-1 in Thurles aet and then 2-0 back in Limerick. We drew 0-0 in the cup in Thurles in 79 too but won the replay 4-1. I don't think we ever lost to Thurles. We were lucky in 81 though particularly in Thurles. We were hanging on in extra time and won the toss then for the 3rd match. Virtually my whole class in school were at the 2nd replay on a midweek afternoon in 81. We just all walked out and went to the game missing the last 2 classes.

None have issued all season AFAIK.

I was at Coagh v Limavady in September no issue and in the carpark when Dergview v Armagh was called off again no issue. Coagh were very friendly and helpful. I asked about a programme and was told they had none but one of their club came back to me in the 2nd half with a programme for an old friendly v Glentoran.

Banbridge haven't issued either this season but did in the past. Killymoon issued for a friendly but not for league games AFAIK.

Ballinamallard have issued in the past as have Coagh. I'm not aware of Glebe or Dergview ever producing a programme.

Portadown, Ards, Ballymoney and Donegal celtic all issue regularly

**John83** · 16/03/2009, 5:10 PM

I'd advise PMing Pineapple Stu for stats like that. The best guy for the question (and the programme) is CollegeTillIDie, but he's either banned or stopped posting after a ban.

I understand that a number of the longer established members of the Irish league didnt issue programmmes regularly until the mid 60's.
is this right,and if so what was the lastclub who weremembersat thetime,to produce.

**dovorian** · 17/03/2009, 10:31 PM

**dovorian** · 18/03/2009, 7:14 AM

Hi I know Drumcondra merged with HOME FARM from72-73 season, and 50's and early mid 60's issues seem to be quitecomom,mine isfrom 63.
But didthey isssue forthefinal 71-72 season,andas usual anyone advise the lastgames.

**gspain** · 18/03/2009, 7:17 AM

This is the League of Ireland forum which is the league of the Republic of Ireland or known as Eire in the UK

The Irish League is the name of the domestic league in Northern Ireland. A good forum to ask questions re the Irish League is here. We have a section on the league here and some of us do follow it but many don't.

Now I'm sure the mods will move this to the history section.

To answer your question would take a while given all the clubs we've had in our league.

Off the top of my head the teams who would have issued their first programmes in the 60's would be

Drogheda 63/4 v Drumcondra shield as a league club but they issued the previous season in the Leinster League. Their first one is not known.

Finn Harps v Shamrock Rovers Dublin City Cup 1969 (believed to be their first)

Athlone Town v Shamrock rovers shield 1969 but previously v Windsor 1953 opening of stand and possibly earlier. None known from the 20's when they were also in the league.
If you want to research the games/clubs you are interested in I can probably tell you whther a programme exists or is likely to exist.

**gspain** · 18/03/2009, 8:01 AM

They issued for 71/2 but not sure re 72/3. Crowds had dropped and obviously these issues are much harder to get than those in the 60's.

No idea who their last one was against.

**gspain** · 18/03/2009, 8:04 AM

Home Farm AFAIK didn't issue as a league club until Lens in 1975 in the ECWC.

Their earliest known issue is v Shamrock rovers 1939 in aid of Whitehall church. Jackie Carey was in the Home Farm side. They issued quite a few programmes also in the 50's and 60's.

**dovorian** · 18/03/2009, 10:25 AM

hi Iam trying to obtain these programmes from your clubs and hope maybe readers can help.

CARRICK RANGERS V CRUSADERS (Gold Cup) 83-84

CARRICK v GLEBE RANGERS, KILLYMOON RANGERS 08-09

thank you

john

**pineapple stu** · 18/03/2009, 12:54 PM

First league game was away to Home Farm alright. Can't remember the date off hand; have the programme at home and will check. Our first senior game was a League Cup game against Drogheda. Should have details on our first home game too.

There's info on all our programmes in the general statistics thread somewhere. Don't think any have survived though.

Edit - here's the post on our programmes.

OK I'll help if I can but you probably won't get the answers you need on the Irish League here.

I don't even know if any of the collectors here have tracked the last League of Ireland programme issued by a club.
