well then, mission accomplished!

imo all clubs need the support of their community and junior leagues in the region

and it was obvious that the fai felt danny drew's position was untenable so by all accounts they've achieved their objective

There's more to the FAI wanting to get rid of Danny, but thats for a later date. Anyway I'm happy he is gone, and if Soccer Limerick lives up to it's promise than the last few weeks/months will have been worthwhile.

Just what I was thinking.......sounds too similar in tone to things like "Team America".

How about naming it in a traditional way, something like......Limerick FC?

I don't think Soccer Limerick have any intention of changing the name to be honest, but if they do it won't be to Soccer Limerick. Soccer Limerick is the umbrella name for the senior team, the juniors, schoolboys and women's football in Limerick, so you couldn't call the Seniors that. I think it will be left at Limerick FC, but wouldn't mind it being changed back to Limerick United for example

A group calling itself Soccer Limerick have applied for a UEFA Licence to play eircom League football in Limerick next season. The group, which is a consortium of Junior, Ladies, and Schoolboy soccer interests on Shannonside, have already applied for the licence.

An FAI spokesman confirmed on Tuesday, which was the deadline for expressions of interests, that they had received a number of applications from interested parties in Limerick. The spokesman declined to comment on the number of, or identity of the groups involved, but added that the applications they received were 'very encouraging'.

This seems to be great news ..... has anyone got anymore info on it? Who is involved?
