Still a good club with a big draw.

John can play in midfield or up front as can Alan, and Alan can also play centre half when required.

Ha ha your having a laugh..There a good team at best to call them the best Club In Ireland

Clubs have a good underage set up which is non existent up there.They should not even be allowed have a junior team if they have no underage and that goes for any Team/ club that does not have at least a couple of underage teams to bring through.Pike Abbey Carew Park etc should get there act together and bring through the youth .

Pike have an under 10 team...how can you say that they have no set up.
They will be raping the town and Clare all summer long.
Fairview will be back, no matter who takes over..too big a club.
Balla will be there or there abouts again along with Pike and maybe the Boro will have a good season...

Got the wrong end of the stick im afraid.Mike Kerley didnt travel to save his relationship at the time and Dermot Finnan stood by him and came very close to resigning over the matter when the commitee came down on Kerley.

well if he does get it he will do well providing he is left get on with the job without any interference,he proved with limerick that with a limited pool of players he can get results

I'd say its to soon to tell who is going where this season to be honest...An awful lot of rumours about this player going here and this player going there...won't probably know until season kicks off who is where to be honest!!!

ALL THE CLUBS YOU HAVE MENTIONED HAVE DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS OF A GOOD SEASON.

TO PIKE, BALLA & FAIRVIEW A GOOD SEASON IS WINNING THE LEAGUE & A GOOD RUN IN THE FAI OR MUNSTER JUNIOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL LIFTED ONE OF THESE TROPHIES IN RECENT TIMES.
THE BORO ARE HAPPY ENOUGH WITH BEING THE BEST OF THE REST & NOT REALLY CHALLENGE FOR THE MAJOR HONOURS.
ONLY BALLA CAN CLAIM TO HAVE HAD A GOOD SEASON LAST YEAR.

**maestro** · 22/06/2005, 3:12 PM

How can you say Balla are the only team to have had a good season!!!! Pike have won the touhy , will win the lawson and got to the league final and the 1/4 final of the FAI ( losing to the eventual winners )

. Pike should have won the league but had to wait 7 weeks to play a league game because Paddy Cusack is a balla man.

Because with all due respect to the Lawson & tuohy none of the big 4 clubs in town are interested in them until they are out of contention for the major competitions, with the exception maybe of the Boro.

Pike are used to winning leagues & Munster Junior Cups, the Lawson & Tuohy are not considered priority by Pike or Fairview or Balla who have now won back to back leagues.

My point is that at the beginning of the season the aim for Pike, Balla & Fairview is to win the league, fai or Munster Junior & to achieve this is a successful season.

No one remembers the 1/4 final of the FAI or a league final.
The winners are remembered.

agreed. i think pike believe the hype they spread about themselves sometimes

**joeSoap** · 23/06/2005, 10:25 AM

The point about Paddy Cusack being Fixtures Secretary, and Ballynanty winning the league is moot, but possibly contains a lot of truth. I think its fair to say that if the league ties were played regularly each week, and mapped out in advance, Pike would have won the league comfortably.

Balla found themselves in the easy position of playing catch up against teams that had little or nothing to play for, and some who even struggled to field teams...hardly fair on Pike.If it was a level playing field, no back log of games etc, and an unbiased fixtures secretary then I think it'd have been a different story.
