Hey NL_Shamrocks boy, this is a thread to discuss Limerick minor football not some noticeboard to peddle you advertisement. Our talent at this level is more concentrated on filling out the CAO form than any club transfer papers.

Getting back on topic, can anyone enlighten us as to the line up for the challenge against Tipp?

a little bit of info for the misinformed. maurice horan is the manager of the u21footballers & not the minors. he has held some very well attended trials & seems to have a lot of talented players at his disposal. the management of the minor team i,ve heard have done a lot of work in trying to unearth talent in the county & have had some useful trials.word is that they have had minimum support from the co. board & had to get sponsorship for drinks & energy bars from generous shop owners etc.no point in the co. board having a healthy bank balance & not investing in our teams which should be the function of our co. board. good luck to our football teams who are still treated as the poor relations by the co. board.

this minor team has seriouspotentiel with the bulk of it being made up of ncw,,kilmallock and claughan as these being the dominant forces over the last number of years at this age.If this team gets its act together and have forwards with such calibare of Jamie Lee{Newcastle West} a class act from play and placed balls off either foot should be one of main threaths
Paul Doona {Kilmallock} lightning pace with a great eye for goal but involved in too many sports
Jamie Mccgarry{Napiarsigh} a brilliant step and a clinical finisher needs concentrate on football
Gary O Connor{Claughan} Can turn on a six pence also dead accurate
Jake Mulcahy [Kilmallock} More known for hurling but a brilliant footballer with speed. If these forwards link up together they should cause problems for any defence in the country!!!!!!!
At Midfield Ian Corbett {ncw} He should be a shoe-in for that place with strenght ,speed andworkrate combined
Thomas Ryan{South Liberties} athlethic and powerful runner even though he might opt for hurling
Backs
Brendan Mccarthy {St kierans} replica of his brother johnny need i say anymore
Stephen Foley {Capagh} Strong and tough which makes up for lack of football
James O Meara {Ballysteen}Did well when called upon by seniors strong and quick could be shoe-in centre back
Paul Hannan { Ncw} was at the semi-final this year and the first time his man touched the ball was end of first half he should provide heartbeat of team
Brian O Doherthy{Ncw} puts alot of energy into his performances never stops trying tends to drive forward a bit much maybe suited better wingback


before anyone asks yes im west bias as thats where im from and see mostmatches there and know im leaving players out such as young Frewn and Quinn but this minor team should be ready to explode onto the championship when they play Waterford

sorry don,t know the team for tipp match only know tipp team.if there is one tjing about limerick that impreesed me at that challenge was their back line.forwards were very poor and missed a lot of decent chances saying that tipp,s forwards also had a lot of wides

Are the twin Noonans from Drom/Broadford on this panel or are they overage?

Apollo_Creed (Limerick) - Posts: 20 - 07/01/2010 11:45:32    526634

yes the twins are on the pannel.and one key player was forgettin padraig scanlon brother of tim and areally talented wing forward

Sorry centremid my mistake u seem to know alot about this team what do u think there chances are??? i think they could go a long way with all the players i listed especially if lee,doona and mcgarry hit form 3 class acts at this grade they should rip the waterford backline to pieces!!!! with lee,doona,hannan,mulcahy already seasoned campaigners also ian Corbett in midfield if he is partnerd by Thomas Ryan they should clen up

Comeonref (Limerick) - Posts: 27 - 07/01/2010 14:51:29    526844

comeonref its hard to know how good this team will be... as u can see with sum of da teams put up on this forum there is serious potential.. but i happen to train some members of the pannell and watched the game against tipp and many people tipped as key players were not present.. if the management can get the best players available i beleive they will rip waterford asunder and really challenge cork kerry and tipp for provincial success

well centremid to be honest with you i think tat it is an absoloute disgrace that some young fellas dont want to have the honour of representing their county as this could be another year of wasted talent in the county i think the people who play hurling should concentrate at football because hurling will never be the same again wheras footballs on the up.... this would be my panel of players
1..John Greney(St Kierans)
2..Brendan Mccarthy(St Kierans)
3.Stephen Foley (Capagh)
4..Brain O Doherthy(Ncw)
5..James O Meara (Ballysteen)
6..Paul Hannan (Ncw) (CAPT)
7..Padraig Scanlan(Glin)
8..Ian Corbett (Ncw)
9... Robert Egan(Kilmallock)
10..Paul Doona (Kilmallock)
11.. Thomas Ryan(South Liberties)
12... Jake Mulcahy(Kilmallock)
13...Gary O Connor(Claughan)
14...Jamie Mcgarry(Na Piarsigh)
15...Jamie Lee (Ncw)
16...Anthony Supple (Rathkeale)
17..Danny Frewn (Ballylanders)
18..Liam Quinn (Ahane)
19..Mike Flynn (St Kierans)

21...Kevin Brosnan(Monagea)
22...Podge Scannel(Monaleen)
23..Eoin Kelly (Abbeyfeale)
24..Stephen O Brien (Ballingarry)

I think that this is a fantastic panel of players and yes i know alot of them havent shown their face but the managment needs to get their act together if they want to go places in munster!!! That team is a rough estimate so dont get insulted if i picked players in wrong place so what do ye think of the team??

Comeonref (Limerick) - Posts: 27 - 10/01/2010 21:13:19    529596

atleast 6 0f above havent benn to training yet

west18 (Limerick) - Posts: 210 - 11/01/2010 19:36:56    530324

Yes i stated that at the end of my post but its the managers job to get onto these players quickly as theres a munster out there to be won!!!! They will have a great spirtual leader in Hannan with a forward line that would cause problems for most senior club teams also Ian Corbett and Rob Egan should link up well in midfield with Tom Ryan on the 40 running all day

What about Francis O Riordan?

landengineer (Limerick) - Posts: 112 - 12/01/2010 18:28:11    531286

O Riordan is a certainty for the panel in my opinion. Can be a bit lazy at times but a serious footballer when it comes down to it

Ciotog (Limerick) - Posts: 56 - 12/01/2010 19:59:14    531440

O Riordan is gifted but too lazy in my opinion as yes he will put points over all day but when it comes down to it he a bit slow to last the pace of intercounty he can show class at times

Comeonref (Limerick) - Posts: 27 - 13/01/2010 17:18:18    532129

is there many players from the west goen to the trials ???

thewestboys (Limerick) - Posts: 10 - 13/01/2010 17:43:30    532185

thewestboys (Limerick) - Posts: 10 - 13/01/2010 18:15:38    532229
