The Munster Senior Cup final will take place on Monday May 23rd at Tom Drohan Park, Coolnamuck Road, Carrick-on-Suir, with the kick-off set at 7:00pm.

The final will be contested between Limerick FC and Carrick United. The Blues overcame Douglas Hall in the last four to guarantee their place in the final while junior side Carrick played out somewhat of a giant killing, overcoming Cork City by a solitary goal to nil.

Limerick have a proud history in the Munster Senior Cup winning it eleven times, most recently in 2006. While it may not be top of Pat Scully’s priority list, the Limerick fans would welcome some long awaited silverware to Shannonside.

For Carrick, the prize is a much bigger target. As a junior side, it would be a fantastic accomplishment for all involved, surpassing all the participating Airtricity League sides to claim the trophy in front of their home support.

1A Play Off Piltown V Grannagh Tonight Thurday @ 6.30pm Ozier Park
This promises to be a cracking encounter and has alot riding on it, to become 1A chmapions and alos become a premier league team for next season Piltown have some ex carrick united players in Tony Reade and Ger Walsh in their ranks along with the likes of Mark O Driscoil and Glenn Conway have alot of experience. Grannagh beat Piltown 2-1 in the cup last week and look to be strong in the midfield area especially. I fancy Piltown and the pace of Alan Walsh to break down Grannagh and send them up.

Historic night in Tom Drohan Park last evening with the winning of the Munster Senior Cup. This was the last year that Junior teams were allowed in the competition.
An amazing bunch of players who have won 9 Premier league titles in the last twelve years, 2 Munster Junior Cups, 1 FAI Junior Cup and now the Munster Senior Cup.
Well done to Brian Barry, his coaching team and squad.
A massive crowd along with the local Brass Band which provided a great atmosphere.

Will Carrick be allowed to defend their title next year?

Possibly so but there is still a good core group of players, Carrick will want to promote within the club first prior to signing anyone although no one has being mentioned yet as a possible signing. Teams come in cycles and for the best part of 15 years we have have being challeneging for major honours if we have a few years out of the limelight so be it but we have a serious academy producing very good footballers who will no doubt plug the gap in years to come in and drive us on to league and hopefully provincial and national sucess

Heard there is a change of management for Carrick Utd next year,Sam and Magic 2 very expierienced men they will need a few new signings but i think they will do a great job.

**cufc champions** · 13/06/2011, 1:43 PM

So I believe, delighted that Magic has got back invovled with the squad, I wish them the best for the new season. I wonder could Sam try to bring back his son's from Piltown?

**kneebandage** · 13/06/2011, 7:38 PM

No harm in asking them i suppose but i think the lads will give one season with Piltown in the premier after all the hard work they both put in getting them there,although i heard 3 young lads have agreed to sign for carrick for the coming season from various teams in Waterford.

**Mission Bell** · 14/06/2011, 10:16 AM

Best of luck to Sam and Kevin in their new posts. Keep it goin' lads!!!
