Limerick Premier Division 2007/08

I think the following are good enough for Prem
Ger Collopy, Peter Clarke, Darren Walsh, John Barry, Darren Naughton, Paddy Ryder,

And if they were interested John Collopy, Derek O'Neill, Derek Hogan, Derek McNamara, Paul Lyons,

Fair enough, who are they all playing with? John barry is with the boro now isnt he?

Any truth in the rumour that boro are taking half of Corbally's team for next year? Again

Ger Collopy (Star, no interest) Peter Clarke (Up in Dublin) , Darren Walsh (Dines, out injured), John Barry (Boro, out injured), Darren Naughton (Fairview, out injured all season), Paddy Ryder (No Interest)

Haven't heard anything about the Corbally situation, but I'd say a lot will depend on whether they can stay up or not.......

**Philbert** · 14/05/2008, 3:24 PM

Never understood why Corbally havnt been more succesful. Great faciliteis up there and they have had alot of good players in the past too.

good one messi another summerville post from a fairview man
give it a rest, eddie hickey was a great keeper for pike but there is no
truth to that post there's as much chance of alex ferguson taking over
at summerville next year simple as that.

there wages are crap

You're right. I've heard the Boro pay much higher wages. Ill have to ask Alan Carroll and the lads.

Was this the first time that the Premier has been all city teams?
Not looking forward to travelling out to the bog next season.

killmallock have an excellent set up ,do you want to play on horrible pitches in town where sometimes you have to tog out in your car or do you want to play where there are decent facilities and a decent playing pitch

When it suits them they are real contenders, taking points off clubs and being really competitive ... when it doesn't suit them they roll over or give walk overs to other clubs. Its disrespectful to the league and unfair to other clubs, some might play them when they give a damn, some get handy games or walk overs. At least the likes of Star, Granville, Summerville are consistent, be it good or bad.

If your looking for examples try Herbertstown last year, top half of the table until Spring and then dropped like a stone and try Charleville any year they were in the premier

exactly,i don't care where they are fron either but the fact is the teams you mentioned i'm sure worked damn hard to get to premier football and as with a lot of teams that go up found the going a bit too tough and like a lot of clubs in the city the players got sick of being beaten every week so pack it in,you see the list that abbeyvale provided of who left,its just lucky they signed enough at the start of the season,other teams might not have that luxury,charleville were premier for a long time before they went down a few years back,herbertstown were never good enough for premier

**lifegoeson** · 15/05/2008, 8:51 AM

gone are the days where the city teams would find the country teams a handy six points. the country teams are getting the better facilitys and the players are quite good too .

**whitestripe** · 15/05/2008, 9:07 AM

What ever teams come up deserve to come up and what ever teams get relegated deserved to be relegated.

I think the problem lies in the fact that there is a big difference between the two leagues.

Both leagues could be made alot more competitive if the seasons were shortened?

That or heavily invest in improving pitches

prob been said before but what about summer leagues. i mean with so many games called off during the season the way it is its hard on players to remain fully fit. even with training. same season as league of ireland.
dont they play that way in mayo or someplace
