Mungret/Regional 1995/96 (lost to Waterford Bohemians)- the year before Fairview went on their run of 6 wins in 8 years.

Time before that Balla (82/83) when they lost the final to St. Francis

Limerick still have the largest representitive proportion in the latter stages of the competition..The MJC for example,2 teams again in the semi's,2 Limerick teams in the final last year,hardly a year since 2000 has a Limerick team not been in the last 4 of the competition..No other Junior leagues has 5 teams competiting for the league at the latter end of the year..Its fairly strong In my opinion..

Its strong compared to other junior leagues at the moment but not compared to junior football in the past. I think that was the comparison that was trying to be made in the posts before. Also there could be 5 teams competing for div 4B that doesn't make it a strong league.

Of the games you saw them play had they a recognised keeper in goals in any of the games with exception of the Boro game?
Of the 9pts picked up, 3 of them were taken from the so called big teams!!!! Balla, Boro & View, so Star are obviously effecting the league in some way, and if Pike win the league by a point, then you could say two of the reasons was because Star got draws v View & Balla.

At last, someone with a bit of common sense, thank you

And to make things worse!!! The Only One plays with Granville (who are worse off than Star), spare me

**Green_Hoop** · 15/04/2008, 9:33 AM

Sure look at who's coming up possibly,Dromore,Kilmallock and the likes.Pike hammered Dromore this season something like 6/7-0...

As is always said those who stay up deserve it..

I agree.

So we'll see come the last day of the season.

Ya well from what I have seen there is a massive difference between the Premier Divison and 1A, so any team coming up will struggle.

Bit Ironic the only 1 is constanly slagging off Star when hes a Granville man

Maybe not, but the arguement was that they werent good enough to be in the Premier this year. They are in it, so therefore they are good enough. They would have got relegated last season if they were not good enough. Simple as.

Anyways, which clubs from 1A would people want to get promoted to make the Premier stronger next season.

I would say Dromore (

) and Killmallock.

2 must win games coming up for Fairview I think.
If they win both I think they'll go on to win the league.
If Pike beat The View on Sunday, then The View could do them a favour by taking points off Balla next Tuesday night!!!
