Park Rangers In FAI
Would like to go along to see and shout for Park, but unfortunately there is a full list of fixtures in the Clare League. It's a pity but as there is such a backlog of fixtures it's probably necessary. Best of luck to Park though, it would be great to see alocal team advance.
It would be great for them to advance as there team is made up of mostly ex clare league players. Hopefully they will get a decent support anyway and they will keep the "banner" flying.Originally Posted by oldspice
Is that mostly ex-clare league players that came up through the clare schoolboys leagues or players that went to play in clare for a while but originally started off in the limerick league.
It would probably be a bit of both. There are 5 teams from Shannon.
Park Rangers & Shannon Town who play in the Limerick League &
Newtown, Shannon Olympic, & Rineanna Rovers who play in the Clare League.
Added to that you have Bunratty, Newmarket Celtic, Cratloe Celtic & Bridge Utd all in close proximity to Shannon.
Alot of the players who have played for Park over the years would have played for some of these other clubs beforehand.
Depends where players started out really but Park do seem to sign up a fair few ex Clare League players.
All these players came through the schoolboys of the following clubs in Clare and are now members of the Park A squad-
Declan Adams - ex Bunratty
Shane O Connor - ex Bunratty
Karl Scott - ex shannon Olympic
Liam Murphy - ex newmarket
Fintan Quinn - ex Bunratty
Darren Ryan - ex Newtown
David Russell - ex Avenue
Sean Mc Donald - ex Newtown
and maybe 1 or 2 more that cant be sure of!!
I believe the ex-clare league players that they have are
Darren Ryan (park player previous)
The keepr (not sure of name ) (park player previous)
Jamie Cullen (park player previous)
Declan adams (clare league)
Shane O'Connor (clare league)
David Russell (clare league) but does not play
Liam Murphy (clare League)
I presume park have a squad of approx 15 to 20 so that means they have 4 total ex clare league players, however i am sure to be stood corrected.
Darren Whelan is the keeper you are on about. Won a double last year with Bunratty.
Sub Keeper is Fintan Quinn....won a double 4 years ago with Bunratty.
Karl Scott played with Olympic mostly and Bunratty....

Darren Whelan - ex Newtown
Tommy O'Hare has also played with Shannon Olympic as far as I know.
Jamie Cullen - Newtown
Paddy Canavan - Newtown
Darren Griffin - Newtown (briefly too I may add!!)
so Park Rangers are a Clare league team in disguise ??
Park Rangers are a Clare team. They are from Shannon for Gods sake. The fact the play in Limerick will never change that. All (or most of) their players are going to be from Clare of course.
I do agree however that a lot of players who are coached as kids by other clubs end up playing for Park but this is going to happen as they are a Premier club in Limerick. Park Rangers do not have a very good set-up underage and have not had a youths team for 4/5 years.... At under 8,9,10,11 they have started though so give them time....
I couldnt agree more - the set up at Park regarding underage is now for the last few yrs only being corrected. The schoolboys are being properly coached and hopefully the club will see the rewards when they reach youths. The Park A team struggled seriously in the first yr or two under the current management as they were short players and had no youths to call upon. Therefore they have brought in a number of players from other clubs.
Did they not win their First premier trophy in the first year of the current management ??
They won the cup under new management in there first season and it was some achivement as they were playing most games with the bare 11 all season..All has changed now and there is great competition for places and a great spirit within the squad.
it was the tsb they won i think scraped the next year what does that tell you but fair play it was a premier trophy it must be hard to keep 15 to 20 lads happy are they all good enough to be on other teams in the premier
Not sure if I agree with that!!!!!!!!!
