In 1947 the then secretary of Pike Rovers wrote to a friend in Tipperary seeking a challenge game. there was no club in Tipperary at the time but the friend gathered a few more friends together and they took up the challenge. The local parish priest gave them a field at the back of the church. They decided to give the team the parish name, St.Michaels. Pike Rovers came out from Limerick and were the first team to play St.Michaels. There is an unconfirmed report that Pike Rovers brought out a set of green and white jerseys for the new club and that is why Pike Rovers and St.Michaels wear the same colours. Just thought I would mention that little bit of history.

**Super Rovers** · 20/05/2011, 3:36 PM

fantastic story nononsense. just goes to show that the hatred between the clubs at the minute wasn't always there and hopefully there will be none after the match this weekend. may the best team win but being a limerick man would like to see it back in limerick

**theboywonder8** · 20/05/2011, 4:43 PM

What hatred would that be super?there didn't seem to be any in the mj semi,

**Super Rovers** · 20/05/2011, 4:48 PM

just over the last couple of years with the fai last year and so on. wasnt at the semi so cant comment on that, but you have to admit the clubs havent been on the friendliest of terms since that incident. not trying to stir anything here just mentioning that it would be nice to see the two clubs back on friendly terms.

**theboywonder8** · 20/05/2011, 5:33 PM

What happened happened,don't think that will be in the back of pikes mind on Sunday,they will only interested in one thing Sunday and that is winning the fai,

Best of luck to Pike Rvs on Sunday.........I'll go with Pike 2-1, Alan Barry & Conor Kavanagh (Pen).

Nice boozer just down the road from The Box, Nosebleds. Can't understand people talking about 'hatred' between the clubs. Connie showed the man he is after MJC semi final with what he said in dressing room after the game - he was a class player and he's a class act. There's a definite healthy rivalry but what's wrong with that? Why trudge up old arguments over the ifs and buts of the qtr final last year? This is THE final that any person, worth their salt, involved in junior football wanted to see; to befit the amazing football competition that is the FAI Junior Cup. It's going to be a great day for all concerned and may the best team win.

loads of pubs around turners cross lads. the horseshoe is literally 5 yards from the ground. turners cross tavern and few others then just around the corner

**Fairkop** · 20/05/2011, 11:25 PM

best of luck to both teams,lets hope we have a good game, and hopefully expect the cup to be coming to limerick,go on the hoops.
