Sorry lads he was menat to do updates but something went wrong that he couldnt(think it was just too cold to take his hands out of his pocket).
Bad game with wind making it hard for anyone to do much not helped by our hoofing really..Thought we should have had at least one pen and Tracy hit post with a free.
Only thing id really take form the game is teh sooner that Sean O Connor is gone the better.
Well done Carrick deserved it.
Well done to Carrick on their fine win, may not have been the strongest Limerick team but they can only beat whats in front of them. My only hope is that some of the deadwood on show tonight gets fcuked off sooner than an American president from Ireland on a wet Monday.
while the MSC is very much the last competition on our priorty list we should be beating a junior team,especially in a cup final,no matter what team is put out.
Well done to Carrick and well deserved.
Disappointing performance. The wind didn't help but as they say it was the same for both sides.
Got to beat Salthill on Thursday and if so won't look too bad.
Historic night in Tom Drohan Park last evening with the winning of the Munster Senior Cup. This was the last year that Junior teams were allowed in the competition.
An amazing bunch of players who have won 9 Premier league titles in the last twelve years, 2 Munster Junior Cups, 1 FAI Junior Cup and now the Munster Senior Cup.
Well done to Brian Barry, his coaching team and squad.
A massive crowd along with the local Brass Band which provided a great atmosphere.
If you can't beat them kick them out. You have to be allowed defend your title.Originally Posted by Mission Bell
Given the crowd and the occasion I thought the MFA would be praying you reach the final next year.
Great result for Carrick but a poor game in truth which was ruined by a strong wind blowing directly down the field. Glen Keane hit the winner with 20 mins left and Carrick had to withhold some corners and freekicks at the end but defended manfully, Anthony O'Donnel and Wayne Fitzgerald were immense at Centre Back. Scully's face cut a picture after game he was fuming with his players. Unfortunately this is the last time a junior team can win this as there is a new Munster junior league winners cup next year that we will be looking to win as well.
A big crowd turned out, which included a decent turnout from limerick but the Munster council should really hold their heads in shame charging 10 euros in, when a 5r would have had sufficed
Carrick United:
Munster Junior Cup Champions 04,10 & 15, Munster Senior Cup Champions 2011, FAI Juinor Cup Champions 2008
12 x Waterford Premier League Champions
Is this the same Carrick team that struggled to beat a division 1A side in the semi final of this seasons MJC?
68, 99, 08
More or less, minus four absentees through injury etc.
By the way it is also similar to the team which beat Pike last year in the MJC in Limerick!

Guys its a disgrace to be beaten and not make an honest effort to win this trophy fairplay to carrick to show great ambition, why limerick entered it i dont know, i hate to say because im a season ticket holder but why such a lack of respect was shown for a trophy.
Judgement call simple as that. Risk players getting injured having played Friday night, Monday night this Thursday and next Monday or rest them Monday and insure they aren't injured. Limerick played understrength teams in the other two games also.
Over the past number of years Carrick Utd. have played League of Ireland opposition and have never looked out of place. Limerick would have been prepared for Monday nights clash, given Carrick's away win over Cork City and would have prepared accordingly.
Their propensity to hoof the ball, allowing for the conditions and especially in the first half, hardly helped and it looked as if the junior side were more intent on keeping the ball on the ground.

Fixed that there for ya before you go OTT.
Good luck with that
Given the facilities and the attraction of LOI football one might expect there to be a major difference between both standards.
Obvoiusly the standard, as one might expect, is higher at first division given the professional nature of the game at that level and if these teams were to regularily meet you would expect the better resourced teams to come out on top.
The point being that the difference is not huge and one off games between sides have proven this to be the case.
Well done to Carrick and all but to say there isnt a big gulf because of that one game is a bit much.
Barry Ryan,John Frost,Paddy Purcell,Corey Tracy,Jeffrey Judge,Paudie Quinn,Shane Tracy,Peter Hynes and Stephen O'Flynn all didnt start that game Paudie and Shane came on but if the full team ahd started i get the feeling it would have been a far different game.
Thats not carricks fault if limerick had no interest in the competition dont enter it , it would have been great to see limerick winning.
Whats that even go tto do with what i said?
Of course i wanted to win it but im not too upset that wed idnt the league is way way way more important.
What im saying is it hardly reflects on how strong or weak the 1st division is how a reserve team does in this cup. Im sure Carrick would do well in the 1st division but i dont think they would be as good as Limerick or Cork in it.
Given that Shane is injured now I'd say Scully's selection was vindicated. If that had been Frost/Paddy/Judge it goes from being a bad loss to a potentially ruinous one.
It was great to see Limerick win back in 06 but equally why shouldn't Limerick use the competition to get extra games for their fringe players? Ultimately that's where the interest in the competition lies for the senior sides. The fact is that most years it's enough for senior teams to win without breaking out their big guns, this year Carrick bucked that trend. Fair play to them but personally I hope that we enter again next year and use it for the same purposes as this season.
Also I'm aware that we put out a strong side in the 06 decider but we weren't in the midst of 4 games in 10 days then.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
I think Shane is a key player. Hope he is fit for Monday.
