I agree with Dirk Diggler,
I too think the league is between Pike and Balla, but in fairness I think Balla have a bigger squad, but not by much.
This Sunday will give us a good indication of how strong the View can challenge.
If the View win they'll be 9pts clear of Balla, if they lose they'll be 3pts clear of Balla, and Balla will have 4 games in hand. (Massive difference)

With Balla to play pike in the Pike club,they're a hard run in from what I can see.

He has no more intrest in the Pike jersey and club than Considine has in returning to Fairview. He will walk when he gets tired of them and next season be cursing and cheating against them like he used to.

I agree a few teams in Limerick make a concerted effort to be some way organised in their approach, but 80,000 in Croke Park as a final compared to 200 in Jackman. Small time.. Club Gaa is more in line with Junior football. My point in all of this really is Sniffer won't even think of playing for Pike while he's in the Limerick panel. And rightly so. By the way, fair play to you if you did play both.

Tell me this hoops12, would you play a less talented player up front, if they had Pike in their heart?? Cause your manager wouldn't... Example: Dave Morris. And in my opinion he is actually a better player. Aswell as being one of the few real Pike men in their squad.

Fairview will beat Balla.

Ya I know.

That's how you find stuff out though, by asking.

Someone told me a few pages back.

In future for your own benefit, when you're getting someone to read the forum to you, you might want to get them to read the whole thing and not just the most recent stuff.

Otherwise you only end up lookin stupid telling people stuff they already know.

dave should be first in the squad well before the likes of maloney and to be honest would do more damage up front than him too. why bother with him when ya have dave morris ????????????????????

Pa has been doing well the last few games. He's scored in his last 3 games so can't argue with that. morris has been injured and is just back

plus he has been out of the country with work...

Mr. Reality · 27/02/2008, 11:27 AM

He now has 5 goals this season. Not good enough for a striker. I think he's level with Lescott of Everton!!

All I'll say to that is , Dave Morris is certainly wasted at left full.

That was enforced as far as I know. A lot of their defenders were missing.

agreed, the point i was trying to make is that the players wouldn't see it as mickey mouse though, but obvioulsy playing for your county is a bigger deal than playing junior, id even go as far to say that its bigger than league of ireland

**Noddy** · 27/02/2008, 5:22 PM

just saw on another thread that the winners of the AUL this year win a week in Japan. A couple of weeks ago Kilester went to cape town or somewhere like that for winning it last season. Nivea sponsor the AUL league. I'm wondering how many players there are involved in the junior leagues in limerick as opposed to the AUL. Why don't the LDMC push for better sponsorship for the league.
