According to MNS Limerick and SDG get a first

You'd have to assume that Jackman Park isn't acceptable, Thomond Park isn't realistic and Limerick wouldn't be able to get Markets Field up to scratch in time, or equally possible is that they failed the Premier on any of the other requirements.

In what way?

**El-Pietro** · 15/02/2012, 3:36 PM

in the way that you wouldnt be able to play there - or you could read the rest of my post and see that its equally possible that you failed on something else!

I dont know about the rest of the things i know this is wrong so ill correct that. We had the use of Thomond Park. Nothing to correct in the rest so why would i mention the rest.

So it's official. Disappointing for Tralee but not surprising once the fixtures were released.

Of course Limerick could.

If Limerick got a first division licence it's because they applied for a first division licence.

This is most likely. The squad and the club have been geared towards winning the First Division.

I look forward to it.

Yes, we could. Thomond Park is available as a full ground, or as a partially open ground. For example, Shannon RFC rent Thomond, but only one open terrace. Limerick would have the option to open as much, or as little of the ground for their matches as possible, for as many matches as they would have wanted.
