Alan barry is an excellent striker but in my opinion he is not as good as Killesters front 2.He must be worth a place on the panel though.Gives a different option to the Killester speedsters.
Pike also won a premier leage in 94/95 season. Before that I can't tell you I'm afraid. Pike are the only team in the premier league to never be relegated out of the top division in Limerick. Alot of their history comes from playing in the Munster Senior League.Originally Posted by historynut
They also won the premier league in 2005/2006
alan carroll (boro) ger bourke (regional) paul cummins (aishling) brian buckley (fairview) that's only four plus the players that went up for training and add pat mcgarry to them that's 8 players that i think should be capped at some stage! mcgarry and buckley would make some partnership at centre half! what do you think?
Buckley isnt even playing centre back for the view at the moment, is he?
i agree the killester pair are top class and work very well together, as balla found out recently, but we'll never know how good alan can be at international level if he dose'nt get the chance to prove himself.for some reason its harder to get selected if your playing in limerick.
boro won leaguetitles in 72,77,83,91,2001,2007
think there might have been a couple more in the 80's not sure..
runners up to fairview a lot in the 90's
he is ya! he's only back a few weeks but he has to be good enough for a cap!
well he didnt play centre back against us a few weeks back, he got the run around at left full by shane walters ex l37 (u21)
STAR Rvs won a good few leagues in the eighties
Geraldines won a few in the late 70,s and early 80's
he played centre half against balla on sunday and was solid! that young lad must be a good player if he gave "chucka" the run around, the only other player i seen give him the run around was frankie stewart when he played with pike, a load of times and "chucka" was an international centre half at the time! where's frankie playing these days i dont see his name on the paper that often
Shane did give Chucka the run around and even Monster and Nesta will agree with me.
Frankie is signed with Regional but I'm not sure if he doesn't turn up for them or if he is injured.
Was at the game-wasnt his best but it was also one of his first games in a long time so bound not to be sharp.Anyway playing Buckley at left full is madness.You put him in center half where he can dominate and play to his strengths.He is never gonna be the type of player that is overlapping the left winger.
i was shocked when i heard he left regional,but i never knew he went back i thought he was injured he's a good little striker too!
yes not often he gets given the run around.One player i always thought did well against him was nabs in his first season or 2 with Pike
well said!he's a top class centre half and a great addition to the "view".
Appreciate replies to my earlier enquiry, if you know any other past champions keep them coming
Out of curiosity does the Trophy for winning the Limerick Premier League have a particular title ?
Though posted on relevant thread, would I be correct in that the Lawson Cup is seen as principle cup for the Limerick League ?
Though no longer a Premier team note that Caledonian FC from their web-site produced a souvenier History booklet in 2007 does anyone know how I can obtain a copy, dont seem to find a contact on web-site.
If anyone interested willing to post list of past champions (known).

ya nabs was good in his first season,he scored 32 goals and won a cap but he had the brain of a gold-fish and he went down hill after that season! a sound young fella too if you know him just easily led.
