Gerry Kelly isn't our manager this year...james carrig is....and ya we were pretty direct when we needed to be but why not play to your strengths?? we have keano gerry steven monaghan david fla julio all over six foot.... an alot of our goals came from headers or knock downs so to stop using that would be foolish, but take my word for it when we need to play football we can, i think we'll surprise a lot of teams around limerick this year.

not having a go at ye .. long grass on pitch did not help also .. and as you said it played to your strenghts .. i just thought you overdid it a bit .. gerry & steven monaghen to mention a few have no problem playing ball on the ground also best of luck for the coming season

Cheers Old Git...we are quietly optomistic about this season seeing as we had a proper pre-season for the first time in years and we have a manager!
