Limerick is a big county stretching all the way from Fanore down to the Cork border so it needs plenty of airports

I always find it interesting that Charleville, Newport, Nenagh, and 2 of the 3 Shannon clubs play in the Limerick District Junior soccer leagues. Makes for some long journeys of a Sunday morning!

Well tbf they'd all be closer to the city than Abbeyfeale, and I'm sure there's probably other teams from the county who Charleville would possibly be closer to the city than. Also think the Shannon teams returned to the Clare a few years back because they play summer football.

Everyone just desperately want to be part of Limerick.

Spot on.

Coincidentally, I played a game against them (Abbeyfeale) in the Desmond League in the not-too-distant past. Long drive, but great facilities. I'd say they were sickened when the season was cancelled cause they were the favourites to win the league that year.

I know it's Good Friday and there wouldn't have been any Junior matches on a Friday anyway, but man, today would be a glorious day for a game of football.

Anyone meet the lads on the scramblers on the riverbank walk near UL recently, had to dodge them today around 4 near the fishermens cottages, tearing up along the walkway. Absolutely crazy, big scrambler bikes, and thick looking fellas, not giving a toss about anyone, was plenty of families about and cyclists too.
They go scrambling behind Cooke medical and take the path all the way back into town.
rang the guards and gave them details for what thats worth.

Just a heads up if ye are walking out there tomorrow,

What if they actually hit someone? All they'll get is a ban from driving (useless) and maybe a fine (they wont pay). Worst they'll get is a suspended sentence despite all their previous convictions.

A prominent figure in Limerick once said about the plans for Greenway connecting the city to the suburbs that scrambler biking wouldnt occur because of the people out walking and enjoying the route, just goes to show that simply wouldnt happen. Its why we cant have nice things, the minority destroying it for the majority
