yeah with the constant increase in the shannon population, and the amount of foreigners here also it wouldnt be a surprise if a new club appears.

would be better to try and intigrate them rather than start a new club as we already have too many...

9: Cheeky
10:Gerry Kelly
11:Jimmy Hollahan

Skinny / Wheelers - Come on, Wheelers is 100 times better
Darren Ryan - Class act
Scales - Outstanding

Or is it just players that are playing in Shannon at this moment and time?

at this rate you could have a team of players playing in shannon and those who are playing outside shannon,
the ones i know outside shannon are,

Darren Whelan
Brendy Hughes
Jamie cullen
Darren Ryan
Philip Purcell
Pat Purcell
Shane o'Connor
Damien O'Rourke

if there are any more please add, also maybe they could get together and play a current shannon selection, that would be a good game !!

9: Cheeky
10:Gerry Kelly

my team would be...
1.darren whelen
2.tom oHare
3.derek bryne
4.richie lillis
5.the center half from olympic dont no his name
6.scales
7.ryan kelly
8.davy wall
9.gleno
19.pa.twomey
11.declan adams

**OpenGoal** · 12/12/2006, 10:47 PM

sore toe, that team would be close to my first 11. The olympic centre half is either brian or paul o connor. both are excellent. Also, i'd have gerry kelly in there ahead of pa twomey. whatever happened to Paul Carr?????

last seen in paddy powers bookies .... not sure if he has signed for anybody ..

**Brazil Nut** · 13/12/2006, 12:19 PM

Just currently playing junior soccer in Shannon

D. Whealan
D. Byrne
D Griffen
D. Ryan
G. Quirke
D. Adams
K. Kissane
Scales
R. Kelly
D. Wall
E. Glynn

Back five no question in my mind, few doubts after that but looks strong compared to some of the other teams. Nearly all of the players in this team are winners as well as quality and deserve to be in there.

Griff way too quiet and is not always aware of the dangers, Ryano is a route one player good in the air talks alot but is also a hit and miss merchant, Glynno is too subtle if you get my drift and will not dominate midfield, Scalsey is he committed anymore?

Captain of Bunratty and showing 100% so far this season anyway.

As I pointed out earlier though... Scales and Ryano dont play in Shannon so why are ye talking about them????
