Dublin City V Limerick in the race

**A face** · 16/10/2005, 2:13 PM

Sligo, i reckon should have it wrapped up this year and lately Cobh are in and around the top, being shy of it all year .... but Dublin City and Limerick were always up there ..... as it stands there are four points between them and 31 games played each.

Here are the games left to play ...

21st October 2005 Galway United - Dublin City
21st October 2005 Limerick - Sligo Rovers

29th October 2005 Dublin City - Limerick

4th November 2005 Limerick - Dundalk
5th November 2005 Cobh Ramblers - Dublin City

11th November 2005 Galway United - Limerick
12th November 2005 Dublin City - Monaghan United

18th November 2005 Limerick - Kildare County
18th November 2005 Athlone Town - Dublin City

Dublin Citys games

Galway (A)
Limerick (H)
Cobh (A)
Monaghan (H)
Athlone (A)

Limericks games

Sligo (H)
Dublin City (A)
Dundalk (H)
Galway (A)
Kildare (H)

Limerick have more home games ... with last game of the season at home. Dublin City may lose their advantage to Limerick in the six pointer on the 29th Oct..... If Limerick lose this game, then they may lose all hope of catching them. Dublin City then play Cobh the following week in what could be a very important game for them there aswell being played in St. Colemans park.

Not over yet by a long shot by all mean !!

What do you think ??

Limerick for promotion

This is the worst first division in years. I mean Cobh have lost 8 and are still close to winning it. They've also conceded 33, even Limerick conceded 40 and were still in with a chance until last night. We've drawn 12 and Dublin 13 and we're both in with a shout. That's fcuking terrible

. Any team that could put have put a good run together could have walked this league no problem. Limerick are not in the race anymore, they lost to Kilkenny last night so that is it. It's between us, Cobh and Dublin and even Dublin is stretching it a bit. I think it's gonna come down to the match between Cobh and us at the end of this month, title decider without a doubt

The two clubs that eventually go up are coming straight back down, that's for sure. Standard is rubbish and there is nothing between the top 4 or 5 teams really when all are at full strength.

Whether or not they stay up is hugely dependant on the standard of player that teams bring in when they go up. Look at the difference between Bray and Harps this year compared to last.

I dont agree with that at all. Look at Rovers for example, we have beaten, Pat's and Harps in cup competitions this season. We also performed well against Cork. Whoever gets promoted are going to bring in some more players, naturally, so they should improve and have just as big a chance at staying up as any other team does
