The club is called Mungret Regional and they are based to the west of Limerick city. The name, I believe, is derived from the merger of the Mungret soccer club and the Regional soccer club. The 2 clubs subsequenty decided to go their own separate ways but Mungret retained the name Mungret Regional. Regional United re-established themselves in the Dooradoyle area of Limerick, quite near to Old Crescent and Garryowen rugby clubs.
M-R is predominantly a schoolboy club which in recent years has encouraged the growth of schoolgirl soccer. Juniors are average to poor and I think are currently playing Premier League in Limerick. They won the Munster Junior Cup in the nineties. Their women's team would be regarded as being strong in the Limerick area.
