Great to hear some good things about our Academy

Limerick 0-0 Cork

We weren't brilliant in the first half but came into it well in the second. O'Leary looked very good in the second half. Would have been great to get the 3 but we'll take the point. The only down side is it looks like we have lost O Callaghan at centre back for the rest of the season.

FAI Cup this Sunday away to Sacred Heart.

I'd say Hosanna in the Hiace and Our Lord Jesus Christ up in heaven will definitely smite every last person associated with Limerick FC for having the audacity to challenge his homeboys in Sacred Heart FC. What a class name for a football team!

SC looking to run a bus at 11.30am Sunday morning at a reduced rate. Going from the bus stop at Arthurs Quay park.

Members E10 (E10 to join)
Non Members E15
Kids E7

Anyone interested pm me on here.

The club itself has taken the unusual step of running a bus themselves aswell but its accepted that this would be for familys and kids in the acadamy.

SH 2-4 Limerick (in the cup game)

However! (in the league)

Longford 1 - 2 Limerick (Breen & Brosnan)

We have a serious promotion challange on our hands at this stage!

washman3

Good win tonight, lets all get behind this fine bunch of players now,not just for promotion,but a top of table finish. well done lads.!!

Jofspring

Ya excellent win tonight. A lot of players out injured at the moment so was great to win and open up a six point gap without playing outstandingly well.

Next week is going to be seriously tough, Shels in Jackman Park.

Injured: Stephen O'Flynn, Shane Tracey, Gary Sheehan, Yellow Lyons?

Suspended: Pat Purcell.

Thats 4 players that would be key for us out for a top of the table clash. Losing to Shels will not be the end of the world though, they can walk the league for all we care once they take points off the other teams. The main thing is top 3, 1st or 2nd obviously preferably.

banjobongo

well done the superblues. I shall be there on Friday to support the team, should be an intersting match!

Hopefully the weather is good for it too. Would take a draw at the moment. Keep tipping away is the main aim at the moment.

FAI Cup Draw was made Live on MNS tonight.

Bray Wanderers vs Limerick FC August 23rd.

Jofspring

Limerick 0-3 Shels

The injuries and changes we needed to make where too much against a good team. Sean O Connor left the whole team down as usual.

Need a few new signings asap or at least the injuries to clear up.

banjobongo

yes it was dissapointing, for a while in the first half it looked like it might have been a draw, but it was not to be.....so what does that do to our chances of promotion now?

Jofspring

Still well in it, our first loss in a long time. Plenty of players to come back into the team. Winning the league probably out of reach though. Mons and Cork drew 1-1 also.

Frost is going to be a huge loss. Sent of for as second yellow after an arguement with Alan Mathews.

Ya, looking at the table if Shelbourne win their game in hand they have a 10 point gap over Limerick. I noticed the 2nd and 3rd goals were scored in the last ten minutes. Was that down to 10 men or tiredness or both?

Is it the first two go up automatically and 3rd place goes in to a playoff with 3rd bottom in the premier?

AlanOB

Not quite. 3rd in the First Division plays off against bottom of the Premier, as far as I know. The Premier is being expanded to 12 teams. Of course the rules are likely to change between now and the end of the season knowing the powers that be.

Thought certain sections of the crowd were bang out of order last night. Booing the team off at half time was way over the top, considering we were missing 5 starting players, including our two best centre-backs and centre-forwards. Against the side that will more than likely run away with the league. I can understand and I share the frustration with the set-up but it was a bit much considering what's gone before.

Missing Purcell and Calla was the reason that Scully went with 3 centre backs, and I'm sure he quickly realised his error when it became clear that Shels were only playing one up (Hughes). Thus, we had two spare centre backs and inevitably a numerical disadvantage higher up the field. On its own this would have been enough of an error, but the combination of this, playing one up front, and no wingers meant that we had absolutely no options coming forward. Breen did well second half with a partner but he ain't a target man.

Scully realised his mistake and went back to the successful 4-1-2-1-2, bringing on Hynes to partner Breen and sacrificing a centre back, and we started to get a better foothold in the game. But the sending off killed it, and once Hughes exploited our higher line to win the penalty, it was over.

Wexford next I think. Good opportunity to bounce back.

Jofspring

With the way Galway are going in the premier you'd have to fancy any one of Limerick, Shels, Mons, Longford or Cork to beat them if it came to it.

With new signings on the way we need to pick up maximum points against Wexford, Mervue and Athlone and we are right back on track.

Wexford 2-3 Limerick

Good win tonight in what I have heard where very tough conditions to play in weather wise. Cork also beaten 2-3 by Waterford Utd which leaves ourselves Mons and Cork all level on 31pts in second. Mons have two games in hand though, one being played tomorrow.

Bad news is that O'Leary was stretchered off. Hopefully nothing serious. That makes an already big injury list bigger.

Soulcrew09

Match played in a storm, 2 up at HT and looking good for a handy 4/5-0 win, Wexford got back to 2-2 due to a huge mistake by Barry Ryan in goals and a header from a free, 2 mins later one of their defenders lashed a clearance off his own player and into the net....3-2 us

Stonewall peno not given for us at 2-1 however we got out of jail with this one.
