Appreciate posting Green Hoop but Pike's history does'nt give domestic titles, only provincial.

[QUOTE=historynut;827117]Collect historic data on Irish leagues at Junior/Intermediate level.
Viewed League website but does not have historic section.
Does anyone know anything re Leagues history, re past champions/runners up.
Re city soccer history , LFC well known as being formed in 1937, who is oldest junior club (Pike Rovers 1930's ), is anything known re when first ever club formed in City ?
Many thanks
ps May help if anyone just posts details of own clubs championships[/QU
shelbourne and prospect are limericks oldest clubs.think shels 1910 and prospect 1904.

histroynut,what are you collecting all this information for anyway?
uve obviously only seen him once and caught him on an off day where he had
a good game
U wouldnt say that to his faceuve obviously only seen him once and caught him on an off day where he had
a good game
Genuinely saw him about half dozen timesuve obviously only seen him once and caught him on an off day where he had

Thought he looked really composed for a Junior Ball centre half
But liable to do silly things
Maybe it was half dozen off days

Leagues at Intermediate/Junior level, overall, do not seem to be well documented re historic data. This has developed as a bit of a hobby collating info.
Also fascinated by history of soccer in city. 1937 is known as the year City had first senior club. Was this a totally new club formed to gain admission to the league ?, granting of senior status to an already established Junior club, and year of senior status taken as year of formation. Or an amalgamation of junior clubs to form senior club ?
1891/92 IFA Cup final was between Linfield & Black Watch Regiment shown as garrisoned in Limerick. As with other garrison towns it was matches between army and locals that led to formation of town or local clubs examples-Athlone & Sligo. In Limerick's case just find it fascinating soccer seems to have to taken so long to take hold, considering city's size. Do know re rugby & gaa, but surely soccer must have been played as well.
Know city had success in Munster Junior Cup 1920's.
Green Hoop - you asked there you are !
u can b sure of thatU wouldnt say that to his face
uve obviously only seen him once and caught him on an off day where he had

Thats rubbish,
I played alongside Mike Carey with The Dines for around 4-5 years and he is an exceptional player who has everything.
Strenght, Pace, Power, Good in the air, and a great belt of a ball.
He would get on any team in town, and that includes Pike & Balla.
ya class player.
Yeah is ok alright...
thats the most typical geraldines thing ive ever heard 'he has a great belt of a ball'
its a pity he doesnt keep it between the white lines
and athlunkard , polonia luimni and hyde
Would I be right in thinking Pa Mul gone from Corbally? I thought he promised them the moon and the stars. Oh well........
History Nut if your serious about this you need to speak to Brian O Brian.
Hes an old pike man who isnt around the club much these days but is an absolute gentleman and from the way your talking I'd say the two of ye could be locked away for days talking about local football.
If he doesnt know it about local football, at junior and senior level over the years, then its not worth knowing.
If you want to chase him up drop me a private message and I'll give you what little details I know about how to track him down
Get in contact with the chairman of Shelbourne what he doesn't know about Limerick Junior soccer isn't worth knowing very nice auld lad.
Barca 2 vs manchester 0
Charlie Elliott is your man to get history nut..Always at the summerville club house if u want him
