There was 3 of us who were travelling out from Limerick to play. I did all the pre-season with them and played in a pre-season friendly v Moyross where I tore my hamstring badly so i missed the entire first half of the season. My brother played one match I think before deciding he didn't want to play anymore because he had no way of getting out there for training etc. (he didn't drive at the time). Mark Danaher joined Balla B for personal reasons. That was 3 of the starting 11 gone. And in addition to that, the manager, Scott Haworth, left the club around Christmas time and they had to get the Charleville B manager to take over. It was a mess really, totally upset the whole team. I decided to sign for Athlunkard then at Christmas, because I was too busy with work and family commitments to train for Charleville, plus the injury kept niggling at me. In the end I didn't end up even playing one game for Charleville last season, and played about 4 for Athlunkard. As for the rest of the Charleville lads, the team was way too young in my opinion to survive in 1A, hardly any experienced lads were on the team, and that's what cost them in the end
I said nothing about the Hibs team! I was having a mess about the name of the club??? I didn't even see Hibs this season. Played against them twice last year and found them to be average so obviously they improved a lot and deserve to go up, you happy now??? Ye have no sense of humour out in Clare
Excellent news. The set up you guys have is top drawer, only to be let down by the pitches at the moment. Get them right and you'll attract even more players I think. I have great time for Summerville and almost signed for them several times! Mr Manahan was on to me with a form most Summers. A great bloke and a fantastic clubman. I'm sure ye miss his influence a lot.
The Beautiful Game
now u said it... wer doin a 50km cycle durin july in his honour to raise money for a Defibulator(mind the spelling).. total legend and is missed by everone up here. He coached my generation at under 10 level and followed to group up to junior level where most of us played under him, just an absolute gentleman.
