Finn Harps away first game

**Jofspring** · 22/02/2011, 5:49 PM

First few fixtures are:

Finn Harps vs Limerick
Limerick vs Salthill
Cork vs Limerick
Limerick vs Longford
Shelbourne vs Limerick
Limerick vs Wexford

Thats a very tough start compared to the last set of fixtures. Waterford at home last game of the season.

All fixtures here

First three away fixtures will be tough, great to get started with them on current form though!

Final Day of the Season:

Limerick v Waterford
Shels v Cork

I'd like to think they'll be important anyway although ideally we'll have the league wrapped up before our tricky looking final two games.

Just some random thoughts:

Our biggest money spinner Foras at home is down for a Monday. We have Shels, Cork, Harps and Monaghan away twice.

**Jofspring** · 22/02/2011, 7:11 PM

Salthill away on a Thursday as well which is a strange one. Cork and Shels away twice ain't too bad but Mons and Finn harps away twice again this season is a balls.

I presume the following weekend would be the May bank holiday weekend and not the Monday the Cork match falls on. Too lazy to check that out. I still think there will be a decent crowd at it, especially if both teams are near the top.

At the very least hopefully Waterford have the league wrapped up and we only need at least a draw from the game for the second promotion spot

Harps travel arrangments being planned as we speak. Only the hardcore need apply.

Ya pretty much everyone I have talked to thinks Shels and Waterford are favourites with Cork just behind that. Then there is a grouping of Finn Harps, Monaghan and ourselves. Very few people confident we will finish in the top 2 and as Monkfish says 0 games have been played.

Jesus you must be mad. I hope you win a fortune

Better off putting E5 e/w on us in the 2 cup comps. lim til i die reckons we're 50/1 for the FAI.

Worth a couple of yoyo, there's only five or six good teams in the whole country, you could conceivably get to the semi finals before you face anyone half decent*

*Or draw Rovers away in Tallaght in second round.

They look pretty decent. Better than last season anyway I'd say. They are always a very tough team to beat up there and Limerick rarely come away with a result. If we can get a win it will be a fantastic reult to kick start the season. They will take points off most if not all the top teams at some stage over the season and I expect them to be there or there abouts near the top half of the league.

First Prediction of the season:

Finn Harps 2-2 Limerick

I'm alot more confident than I have been in about 3 or 4 seasons. We got Conor O'Grady from Sligo who will add much needed experience to what is mostly young squad, and with Kevin McHugh staying put and Paddy McLaughlin signed we have a strong spine to the squad something we been missing for a long time.

Many Limerick fans travelling up to Ballybofey for this?

LSC will have their usual fellas there, the moaners and whingers only come out for the odd home game.

Ye were only 1 of 2 sides to actually beat us at home last season in the league.
