Finn Harps 0 - 3 Limerick FC

Tierney, Hickey 2.

(Tierney, Hickey, Treacy)
(EDIT: seems to be confusion over whether Hickey actually touched the ball for his second, or whether Shane Treacy's freekick went directly into the net)

Next game - Home to Cork City at 4.30pm next Friday April 2nd.

flutered · 27-03-2010 12:08am

as i cannot attend any of their games can i say best of luck.

Christ that was a mighty win for them tonight - me thinks you'd have to go back to the time of Dave O'Connell being boss for their last win away in Ballybofey. Well done all concerned!

Bunch of lads I know are coming down from Cork for the game on Friday and are planning to stay on after the game until about 9:30 and make an exit before the rugby traffic. What might be a suitable pub to send them to?

These would be a bunch of sensible 30 something year olds who would be looking for a nice pub where they can have a few pints and optionally, maybe some banter with similar limerick fc fans.

Last time for the cup game they were in the railway hotel for a couple of hours before the game but didn’t stay on afterwards. They want to try somewhere different this time.

As they are all seasoned city fans they are expecting to loose so won’t be too upset after the game.

Some Limerick Fc fans used to go the Still House on Thomas street, if you know Limerick, it's up the pedestrianised road across from Supermacs. About a five minute walk from Jackman Park.

Still House is the main spot after games alright, about a ten min walk down the town, will be busy along with every other pub in town on the night id say.

Just (as above poster pointed out) ask someone wheres Supermacs or Brown Thomas and you'll see it.

Awful performance against Cork, never got going at all. The 1500 paying punters will at least have earned the club a few quid though. Weekend finished a little better by getting through to the Munster Senior Cup Semi Final by beating Pike Rovers on Sunday, poor 2nd half performance though.

Nice to have a chat with some of the Cork lads in the Still House after the game, glad to see a large away support in Limerick, first time in years!

Shane Clarke is some striker

The year himself and Tierney played together for Wembley Rovers was unbelievable. Hope the two of them keep doing well for Limerick.

Aidric · 18-04-2010 12:41pm

They have been doing reasonalby well so far. 6th place with 10 points at the moment. Might try and get along to that game on Friday night. Anyone know how much they charge for admittance to a home game, adult?

12 for a seat in the stand, and 10 for a position on the grassy....eh...terrace.

Didn't know the stand was seated. Last time I was there it was cold concrete steps and a rusty roof.

It still has those charming features, but has shiny blue seats also.

Burger van available, as well as shop run by supporters' club - cup of tea 1 euro. If you happen to be the kind of guy who goes to a cafe every second Friday night and drinks 8 or 9 cups of tea over a 2 hour period, going to a game might actually save you money.

Up to joint 4th with Shelbourne, 2 points off a playoff spot. We're winning without playing particularly well it has to be said.

Huge test next week.

garminguy · 24-04-2010 2:57pm

great start to the season for the blues, hope they do well this year

Soulcrew09 · 26-04-2010 5:26pm

Monaghan away on Friday.

Shelbourne at home BH Monday.

Would take a draw in both.

Didnt see his how good he is when out the wing with Fairview, has had a good start to the season in all fairness to him.

Boland only played for 10 mins (came on as a sub) due to getting a knock in the back but you could see in that time the difference in quality is unreal, simple basic stuff done with ease. His injury is not bad and should be ok now.

Next home game.

Cracking stuff, even allowing for Mervue's league position. The team is really progressing nicely this season.

Soulcrew09 · 16-05-2010 10:58am

2 points clear in 3rd (playoff spot) early days yet but certainly looking good. Derry away next friday so a point would be fantastic, but their 1st and flying.

NEXT HOME GAME: TUESDAY 18TH MAY. 7.45PM.

V WATERFORD UNITED. MUNSTER SENIOR CUP SEMI FINAL.

Is it first place is an automatic promotion spot, then 2nd and 3rd place have a playoff for the last promotion spot? Im not sure how it works, they seem to change the system every season!

bottom team in premier automatically relegated.

2nd and 3rd from bottom of the premier have a playoff. (Playoff A)

Winner of first division automatically promoted.

2nd and 3rd place in first division have a playoff. (Playoff

Loser of A plays winner of B - victor plays in the premier the following season, loser plays in the first.

Have had as low as 350 and as high as 1400.

Usually around 450/500 mark. Big games will bring a few hundred more.

Awful game played out by 2 reserve teams on a wet Tuesday night in front of no more than 150 people. Nights like this aint fun, however come Friday we'll have 2 full promotion chasing teams playing in front of 2/3000 in the Brandywell.
