What ever happened to all the young players star had a couple of seasons back? Was there a few handy wingers there at one stage?

From the end of last season to xmas of this season we have lost nearly 20 players for one reason or another,

[Philbert]

Is PB still coaching down there?
How about the new facilities ye were supposed to get? Any development on that front? That might help attract players

[lifegoeson]

Predictions:
Thursday 15th May
Granville 1-1Regional
Aisling 2-3 Star star will win last 2 games!!!!!
Wembley 1-3 Fairview
Corbally 0-6 or 7 Pike

star will win last two games and hopefully with results going thier way force the playoff needed

most messing around with the b team or just not playing any more, not treated right in the club!!!

[Philbert]

Abbey,
20 players sounds a bit much? Could you name 5 players from that 20?

Yep, Pa Bo is still in charge of the A team, and I can garauntee you that we will lose the majority of what squad we've left if he steps down.

I've a question ..... for all the slagging Abbeyvale gets on here (most unjustified) would people rather see a club like Star, one of the oldest in town and steeped in tradition, play in the premier league

or some other clubs from miles out the county where the 'A' team is a glorifed training exercise to keep the GAA players ticking over over the winter like Charleville, Herbertstown and newly promoted Killmallock?

i've a question,would you rather the premier division was made up of teams with great tradition and a team not good enough for the division or teams that deservedly win there division the year before therefore getting promoted to the premier division,regardless of where they are from?

fair enough abbey nobody will have any arguements that ye have lost players,but are all the names you mentioned good enough for premier?personally i don't think so.
How many of the players ye lost to other clubs are playing prmier football now?

[Philbert]

How many of the players ye lost to other clubs are playing prmier football now?

From that list, I think two players!
Fair point mulla

I never said they were all good enough, I'm merely answering the question I was asked, but there are a few players on that list that are good enough for Prem.

nothing at all to do with where they are from - I couldnt care if theyre from Mars. What I do have an issue with is clubs attitude to the league.

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
