I have to take my hat off (for once) to Fairview Rangers B lads. What a run to secure safety. Congratulations to all the players and management.
Sorry to see a fine club like Charleville slip to the third tier of Limerick football, but I'm sure they will be back strong next season.
Well done also to Shannon Hibs. They held their nerve and went up despite many peoples(myself included) reservations. I take pride in knowing we drew once and won twice (one on pens) against a Premier side.
Another great season comes to an end, roll on pre-season!!

Not that the results make any difference but just to complete the final standing in the table, can anyone confirm the above missing results
68, 99, 08
Totally shocked at the Charleville result. Unreal escape from Fairview to avoid relegation, fair play to them, they looked dead and buried a month ago. Will be very hard for Charleville to get back up now, 1B is tough
Well done to everyone involved at Fairview B. Back in the middle of February, we were 6 adrift with 1/4 of the season left, and nobody gave us a prayer. And even on the last day, everyone had us written off, and nobody could blame them. But we kept trying to play football as we know how, and managed to scrape important wins together, no more than the final day win against Mungret, scoring with 5 mins left to stay up. Had an awful start to the season, and with a load of very young players, and terrible injury problems, we have come out on top. Huge credit goes to the management team who stuck to their guns all season, and never waivered despite all the problems, and criticism from certain areas. Hopefully build on this now next season, and with a lot of those young players having their first season at Junior Level under their belt, it should bode well as they will only improve.

Congrats to Hibs on Promotion to the Premier.
Is there any sign of Darragh Purtill from Caherdavin, I seem to remember He had alot to say about Hibs missing out on promotion when Caherdavin just pipped them to it a few years back. If i'm correct he said it was a waste of a season for them. Ha, Karma has hit back. SWEET.

Team of the season was out in last nights leader anyone know the 1a team?
fixed![]()
It's very complicated out there, certain players won't play for certain managers, certain players won't play for the A team, would rather play for the B team because it's an easier division. And then on top of that you have the hurlers who hardly ever make themselves available for the soccer team. I only played one season out there and we had a good season, fought for promotion til March and then fell away to finish 4th. The team that played this season is nearly totally different from last season. If they had everyone available they'd win 1B by a country mile, but that ain't gonna happen
