I'll update this next year.
What does it matter if they're the same age? Both players have been playing at a different level for the last 5 years. If Gerry/Davy/Pat did happen to play in a "Shannon united" team I can only imagine they'd be bringing experience and leadership to the team because IMO 2 of the 3 players would not start.Beam me up is Davy and PAt not around the same Age ?? Did Pat also not play a bit of ball with Park Rangers so attachment to Current set-up with hibs ? Finally if he would still be classed as a Top junior player what the hell is he doing playing with Newmarket ( No disrepect aimed at Newmarket here >> Top Junior teams PIKE / CAREW / JANESBORO all 15 mins in the road
agree totally on the thought / Dream of the three shannon lads part of the one club.
Old Git, I am sure there would be a lot more of a commitment than 15 extra mins in playing out in Limerick and Newmarket have enough about them to enjoy football playing for a decent team at a decent facility even though the League wouldn't be anywhere near as strong as Limerick Premier.
First, I was pretty sure Newmarket would not go down that road of paying players, good to hear it confirmed. No Junior team should pay anyone to play or coach for them.
Melon, it's not about their playing ability, as you would like to think they wouldn't get into a Shannon first 11 but they have a lot more to offer these days than playing. They are very active in their clubs and do great work with coaching schoolboys etc, it's just a pity they are swimming against the tide due to the football environment in the Town. That goes for the stalwarts behind the scenes at all clubs in Shannon.
Yeah I agree I've watched Davy training the younger lads, and have seen his training drills with A teams before, its a pity there is no youth team at hibs as I would think they would benefit the most from what he was to offer, and ive no doubt Gerry is the same. Wasn't putting anyone down but the harsh reality is it looks like it will never happen.
Why has nobody signed dukes he would surely be a serious addition to any team in Shannon or newmarket
Signed with Cobh isn't he?
Has he not been released by Cobh ?
" football is a simple game "
never mentioned the 2 lads at all. however great for them to be so involved in their respective clubs at this late stage in their careers. as somebody mentioned Gerry is nearly 40 and competing well and gaining his place...davy is heavily involved in the schoolboys of hibs and playing for the A teamtwo feet up
Newmarket have also suffered over the years with players moving to clubs are not joining newmarket?
Rineanna for example had a couple of great seasons with a few local lads who would have togged for Newmarket if no other club in the area .. As for Pat wanting to play at a Decent level fair enough
but are you saying Davy Wall / Gerry kelly are wasting there time playing with their local clubs at at poor standard ... why do these two local / talented lads don't have a problem playing for shannon clubs
I know Pat, had a few offers from limerick, but again its not about money, he was glad to go to a good team, trying to do thinks right. I am sure if there was a few less clubs in Shannon, he would have been seriously tempted to give a year or two service there , seen as he had played with both Town and Rangers at some stage!
On its way to Shannon

Is it the end of sept the deadline to get a transfer?
I see that an effort is being made to get newtown back up and running. Good luck to those involved check out their facebook page newtown shannon. I fear this could be the final nail in hibs coffin if they they manage to get club going again
don't panic .. happens every season rumours / rumours ... and it is easy to open a facebook page ? have they a backer in place / committe / players and more importantly a pitch ? and i would assume going back into clare league ?
if they are genuine good luck to them but alot of hard work to get Newtown up and running again >. i may be wrong but dont current hibs committe have the rights on newtown / park name as part of amalgamation.
" football is a simple game "
Can't see hibs having a right to the name. As for the rest of it only time will tell. If the people involved are hard working and genuine newton will be a bigger club than hibs if only on the pitch. I personally can't see hibs seeing out the season and if newton takes off can't see them having a junior team in the foreseeable future
It's all apples really, eventually something will fall from the tree.
I'll update this next year.
Lads, really not sure what to make of this, I understand that people would like to see Newtown back but where were all these people when Newtown really needed them 6 years ago just before they had to fold? Seriously? It certainly was not GOOD TIMES 6 years ago!!! Newtown won the Clare league last in 99/2000 season and let me add with GOOD PLAYERS, they are all gone and now there are no good players left in the town bar 1 or 2, All of a sudden there is loads of interest?? At the moment JUNIOR football in Shannon is not very good to say the least, too many teams is a point that keeps being mentioned, So add another team and that will fix the problem?
sure they may as well change hibs name back to newtown and go back to the pitch as ballycasey......nothing different really, just muddying the already muddy waters of Shannon football
Why not put all this interest into a Club thats already there, great idea.
Great idea Lobster. Imagine just trying to do that instead of all the bs talk about another club being set-up.
Can't believe the naivity to people on these forums, and just in general. Shannon Football is not in a good place, another club will only help make it worse.
Football in many places is in a bad place, it's hard to get good, committed players these days.
Shannon only big enough for 2 clubs at best, 1 in Clare and 1 in Limerick. That way there would be some chance of stability and progress - otherwise nothing will change and the ever decreasing pool of talent will continue to ebb away... Slowly but surely the interest will decrease and it will just get worse.
Nothing is impossible
the more i think about it its absolute madness, on the face book page i see all the good old reliables posting there tripe.
