but since you asked i will...so you think that the Shannon teams belong in Limerick even though they're from County Clare? Its a bit stupid having the shannon teams playing in Limerick. Even stupider than galway playing in the Leinster Championship because its not as if Park and Shannon Town have no-one to compete with in Clare like Galway dont in Connaught. and its not like they needed a new challenge because it wasnt like they were dominating Clare soccer when they were there. That's my opinion but as i say i don't know their reasons for going to Limerick

what about newport. Do u think they should be playing in the tipp league

Also isn't Corbally Afc in county clare

**oscar** · 19/10/2008, 9:47 PM

Corbally's grounds are in Clare,they used play in Limerick until they purchased their grounds off Shannon RFC a number of years ago

Charleville?

**Jock MIB** · 19/10/2008, 9:54 PM

well i was half right oscar

also studsup Charleville is in Co.Cork like what axeman says... i understand you views but it all depends on the team which league they would like to play in, like Knocklong last year they were Elton Celtic, they moved from tipp league to Limerick League.
Would like my team the great Green and whites from glasgow move to the preimership but here we can always dream

Probably have a mod getting on to me for going off topic

**oscar** · 19/10/2008, 10:01 PM

ya those mods can be a right pain in the......

It's not about where they belong it's about where they can compete with and the quality pitches and a better standard all round. Fairview Pike Boro Ballananty Wembley Regional I'd take them anyday over Moher, Bridge Celtic/United.

Once again the whole GAA thing raises it's head with the Clare League

.

Shannon Town have always competed in Limerick so I don't know why your brining them into it? Park Rangers AFC were once a Clare league side.

The main reason the whole thing was done was for the schoolboys. I don't think many of them were staying around once they finished schoolboys. At least in Limerick they wont have to playe the same teams three/four times a year in the league because of a lack of numbers in the schoolboy leagues.

Some teams in limerick would be further away then park or shannon town.How come bridge united dont play in limerick.Always played friendlies against limerick teams and as far as i know they have good grounds.Is it not up to the club themselves?

This division is very stop start no doubt. You just have to try keep the lads intrested and get as many training as possible. It isn't easy, but it's essential to any team wanting to win promotion.

All joking aside it's a huge task for ye. I've seen ye this season and while ye are a good 1b side and won't be a pushover, they are superb at their best and if they score early it could be very tough for ye. But all ye can do is have a go. I'd wish ye luck but I'd never do that against my own club!!

i heard that the rules state if park/newtown want to change their name they will have to apply to play in nearest league which is clare league..
would be a shame considering all the hard work gone in the getting the teams merged in the first place...

I couldnt tell you,havent heard anything about this but i really doubt they will make there way back to that league,personally i think theres always ways around these situations.
