any word on any other signings Roddy will make?

Heard he was less than impressed with the open trials at AIT last week.

Also heard rumours he signed Niall Lanigan from Pats, and Paul Skinner and Barry Clancy from Shels.

Lanigan left Pats after the 2011 season. Moved to Shels u19s and elft there pretty quickly too. last wtih Moyle Park in the LSL

Heard that Roddy is in talks with his old pal Bisto about spearheading the promotion push next year.

Saw it at the weekend advertised on the TV how he got some sort of predictions right and some sort of bet right. Seems those tweets were since removed though.

EDIT: Just noticed, it seems to be an old account, his new one is https://twitter.com/kdkilbane77

ye them lads are confirmed as signings last week in the star . so far he has signed clancy, gorman, lanigan, skinner and aidan collins . all good so far. have to be challenging promotion this year

**Longfordian** · 14/12/2012, 7:22 AM

Collins is only ok, but probably a step up from what ye had all the same. The Clasicos could be tasty this year if the games are more important.

Phil Brown doesn't want the job now according to the Limerick Post. Have Limerick shotthemselves in the foot getting rid of Scully and still waiting on a new man with a number of other clubs appointing managers and signing players? I hope not. I'm hoping for a good year in the premier division.

I would reckon that Lims will be top loaded with a rake of English or foreign signings to add to the 4/5 already signed regardless of what nationality the manager in charge is.Just my own opinion

Any idea if Roddy is holding anymore open trials? Collins is a very good signing, was very consistent at Monaghan, but only when kept fit!

Seems to have been plenty of applications so I wouldn't say shot in the foot but definitely a manager needs be in place by next week.

**Fivesilver** · 14/12/2012, 11:14 AM

I'd highly recommend getting a new manager the day before the season starts.

The next trials are being held down at AIT but its just for third level students there. A couple of scholarships are on offer for any talent that catches the eye

Exciting times
