To be honest it's a shame to see a club like Caherdavin struggling the way that they are. It's hard to believe that they had a terrific start to last season and were top of the league after 6-7 games. After that everything seems to have gone downhill for them. Guys like Corky don't deserve to be playing in Division 1B. Even my old foe Darragh Purtill deserves great credit for sticking with them while others jumped ship around him. I've had a few run ins with him over the years but in fairness his loyalty to Caherdavin has to be admired, it's just a pity that a few more of the Caherdavin boys didn't stick it out like him because they surely wouldn't have eneded up in the predicament that they find themselves in now.

it would appear the management of caherdavin, by that i mean the committee etc. have let them down. they have very poor facilities and i reckon thats why players leave to go to other clubs. to be fair any of the players that have left there have gone a step up to a club in the premier division, most of them anyway

[Lev Yashin]

Yes Watson, but we dont know whos at home and whos away, hence th reason they were not entered!!!

We have Dines Herbertstown and Bruff left all at home....

[dines08]

dunno are we safe yet...think we're guaranteed minimum a playoff, we're in a strong position now tho...probably the strongest from cappamore down in the last table posted...even the teams wit games in hand would prefer the points in the bag i'm sure....anybody got an up to date league table?

[razbar]

i see there is fixtures on this sunday morning that seems a little crazy to me considering the heinken cup is on saturday and i'd say some teams might struggle to field sides as the bottom teams are all involved this weekend could prove costly to those teams involved..

[Balbec77]

anymore thought on team of the season

[abbeyvale]

anymore thought on team of the season

3 players certain to be on it would be, Heffernan, McNicholas & Barron

[mulla]

3 players certain to be on it would be, Heffernan, McNicholas & Barron

gk-ger barron(Dines)
lf-frank hogan(balla)
rf-drmore(played there against us last time out)
ch-mungret lad who scored free kick against us
ch-judgey(balla)
rm-big guy for herbertstown(dunno his name good player though)
lm-colm O Mahony(balla)
cm-guy for kilmallock(terrier is nickname i think)
cm-bourke(dromore)
cf-mcnicholas(mungret)
cf-heffernan(kilmallock)

as ye can see i'm not big on names so lads from the various clubs may be able to help me out,
i haven't watched any other games from 1a during the season so my opinion is only based on games i've played myself,
i think its tough to pick a team of the best 11 in the division when you are only seeing players play 2 times and even then they could have shockers against you and play great in the rest of the games,
at least this gets the ball rolling

[Balbec77]

i think for goals is a tight call between ger barron and our keeper from kilmallock chacka o shea

[mulla]

i think for goals is a tight call between ger barron and our keeper from kilmallock chacka o shea

he didn't play there for the first game against ye,was terrible for the game we beat ye in out in ye're place and only had 1 or 2 saves when ye beat us,as i said can only go on what i've seen

[KevB76]

i think for goals is a tight call between ger barron and our keeper from kilmallock chacka o shea

What about the living legend, Noel Mooney !

Only messing, but seriously though, when he played v Bruff a couple of months back he pulled off some brilliant saves, he still has it

[dines08]

i'm biased of course but ger barron is the best keeper in limerick let alone 1a...going on games i've played, keith mac nicholas, jimmy burke, thomas heffernan...anthony lee stood out for balla in both games against us, leo wong likewise...apart from that core opinions differ, i'm sure for most players in 1a the first 3 definately stand out

[Balbec77]

will ye b able to hold on to ger barron next season surely prem teams will come lookin for him

[dines08]

we're almost certainly without ger next year, i think he's going to ucd on a football scholarship...pretty sure he had a host of options for next year...he was at celtic too...some of the games recently he's been the reason we won...absolutely superb

[Balbec77]

ya a great keeper was he at celtic for long

[KilmallockYouth]

ya a great keeper was he at celtic for long

6 months!!
Some people in Limerick reckon our youth keeper will be better in a few years!! His only 15!!
He had trials for Wolves this year and was brought up to the Oscar Traynor Youth panel!!
