ya def another season for wembley in 1a but dont think we will lose as many players as last year. because of not getting promoted last year we lost thomas clarke and paul danagher to limerick(prob would of left anyway) eddie brazier and darren glasheen to boro and anthony mcdonnell and jason sheehan to ul/aisling so to be honest we always thought we would be short of promotion this year, but hopefully a lot of excellent minor and u17 coming through hopefully can hang on to them both teams still in fai minors in semi final. ya maybe a change in management maybe to attract new players only but in fairness we just dont have the squad to sustain a strong promotion charge so cant really fault the management there, ya liston and damien collins(wobbler) up front for us all season.

our fixtures for rest of season are
home: caherdavin abbey balla croom coonagh
away: dines and star

Scoobysham, ye have a good run in though and I'd be surprised if ye weren't thereabouts for the second spot. Wembley need to be playing Premier to have a chance of holding on to the youngsters coming through.

**scoobysham** · 08/03/2006, 11:45 AM

ya in fairness we have to be playing premier to hold on to our younger players with the re introduction of limerick u21s in the summer is a problem for us and especially with the u17 and minors still in fai the premier teams will be watching palyers.

ya just looking at the rest of the teams run ins seem tricky enough u never know i suppose if we keep at it might hang in there we could have a slight chance and for a fact we will still battle away until it is not possible to get promoted.

on paper wembley look like having a handy run-in but the fact remains that there forwards are not good enough.Wembley have had good youth teams for the last few years and are still in A1 i think it needs more then that.what was that quote "you win nothing with kids"

Are Dom and Jimmy still in charge at Wembley? Remember them stepping aside at the start of Wembley's last season in the Premier. They were begged to come back after the raver that took over had them relegated by Christmas. Both great football men and both gave great service to the club.

As for Croom and Herbertstown at the weekend, there used be murder at that a few years ago the year both were promoted from 1B. Were you around that year Bishop? Lunatic that used play for Croom (one of the many) broke a fella's nose with a headbutt on the way off instead of shaking hands at the end of one game.

**scoobysham** · 08/03/2006, 3:04 PM

ya jimmy collins is not involved with any age group at wembley, he is now the chairman. himself and dom have done a great job with all the underage teams in recent years. Dom is in sole control of the junior team, ya played that year were relegated from premier at christmas when dom and jimmy came back brought respectibility back to the club. Id say dom could have enough this year he nearly packed it in last year to concentrate on the younger teams at the club. two grat clubmen for Wembley and will be involved in some capacity at the club for the long term no doubt.

ya totally agree with sees it we will have to try something different up front because we have been creating chances all season but takes us so many opportunities to score.

whose the raver?

I was around for that game but to be fair to Croom there were no headbutts just a few digs and no noses were broken. We have played them a good few times since we no problems.

Yes we have some tough games but in all fairness we need a max of 9 wins from 12 to win the league and thats only if Herbertstown and Corbally win all their remaining games.

Every time one of them draw or lose its a game less for us to win.

If Star go up will ye be strenghting the team as the bones of the side got relegated with Abbey last year,what players could you see signing.Alan Barry is a cert to sign anyway...........

If we do go up we will have to strenghten theres no doubt about that, and I'm sure our manager will pull a few strokes to get in some good signings.

I think Alan Barry might sign but you'd never know really.

We'll just concentrate on getting up first and worry about next season at the end of this one.
