how are you getting on with the view mike?? is it a big change from previous years??

Unreal. Park in real crisis already. They'll need an unbelievable turn around to have any chance of promotion. Shock result this one. Fair play to Murroe.

Is Dermot Finnan still manager of park?

maybe not after tonite

Bloody hell ourselves and Park cant buy a goal at the moment.

Messi...that wasnt our regular keeper either but he did a good job for us. I wouldnt blame him for either goal. What let us down tonight was our finishing and not just the strikers. We had plenty of chances to score from play and set pieces and failed to take advantage.

Another tough one alright on Saturday but our general play is good enough. Just have to find our touch in front of goal.

Ya he is. We played them on match day 1 and they had 20 players togged out, and were a very good footballing team. They've lost three in a row since. I'd love to know whats going wrong out there in the Banner...

Some result there for muroe, fair play to them,

I think the sooner the sunday morning matches start the better

then get a clear idea who is doing what.

Only if you change your name on here to Coonagh A.

this must be the closest league around from what I can see. Only boro b standing out at the moment, as for park, maybe they were starting to believe too much too soon. You would never know though, long way to go yet and the winter is a long period where some teams excel and others fall behind..................good to see most teams are similar, keeps the league interesting for the teams involved.

This is the Coca Cola Championship of Limerick. Not as high a standard as the Premiership with it's bloated egos and fancy dancers, or the 1A boys with maybe two or three in the title race, here we are all capable of beating each other and anyone could go up, or down. For pure drama, it has to be 1B!!

Yeah losing 2 or 3 players makes a big difference, but in Bruff's case they lost the players in the summer(07), before the season kicked off (Pip Moloney and Deccy Hayes went to Croom, Dermot Broughton took up reffing

). Also Paddy Moloney went to Holycross I think, but he's back now.
These guys were undoubtedly a big loss, but the core of that strong Bruff team is still there, and is well capable in this division ......provided they can all show up every match.

Bruff have some very good young players coming along to replace those who've left - the likes of Colin Madden at right back is turning into a top player after being dropped into the deep end last season. Also Bobby Rae at centre back impressed v Knockainey. And with Ed Hogan still there banging in the goals for fun every week, what more do you need to be a contender in 1B

If Kevin Mc Carthy signs with Fairview i think they will go close in this league - he would make a massive difference
