*Limerick GAA news/discussion thread*

03-03-2010 8:50pm#1I think its about time us Limericians had our own thread here for posting news, rumours and opinion on all the goings on in the always entertaining world of Luimneach CLG! There's certainly enough Limerick fans (and some wannabe ones in Clare
) to warrant this superthread.- Many of you have already given your opinions on the hurling fiasco with support for the striking players seemingly thin on the grounds round these parts. If Justin does go, how do see the returning players fairing in this summer's championship?
- And what of the footballers? Can they realistically do the double, in gaining promotion from Division 4 while going on to finally take Munster in July?
The embattled senior hurlers have a break this weekend, their next outing being against Waterford in Fraher Field, Dungarvan on Sunday week. With Bruree's James O'Brien having returned to the fold and rumours of Gavin O'Mahoney and Dinny Moloney intention of rejoining the panel, things are looking a little brighter at least for Justin McCarthy.
The senior footballers also have the weekend off and are not down to play in Division 4 of the League again until Saturday week when they host Waterford at the Gaelic Grounds.
This coming Wednesday 10th March, attention turns to the U21 footballers who tackle Clare in the same venue in the Munster Quarter Final. The game is a repeat of last years quarter final which saw the Banner prevail by 1-10 to 0-6 in Miltown Malbay. We have 8 of last years panel including seniors Ian Ryan, Cormac Joyce-Power, Eoin Joy and Bobby O'Brien. The team is captained by Fr Casey's John Riordan and managed by Maurice Horan from Na Piarsaigh.
The U21 squad in full is as follows:
John Browne (Fr Caseys), Donal Byrne (Monaleen), Eoin Fitzgibbon (Oola), Eoin Halligan (Galbally), Sean Hartnett (Fr Caseys), Eoin Joy (Fr Caseys), James Kelly (Newcastlewest), Enna Kennedy (Ahane), Keel Maloney (Kilcornan), Joe Martin (Glin), Sean McAuliffe (Newcastlewest), Michael McCormack (Mungret), Eoin McEnery (Fr Caseys), Paraic McEnery (Fr Caseys), Tony McMahon (Pallasgreen), Bobby O’Brien (Bruff), Seamus O’Carroll (Cappagh), Eoin O’Connor (St Mary’s/Sean Finns), Cormac Joyce-Power (Ahane), Damien Quaide (St Mary’s/Sean Finns), John Riordan, Capt (Fr Caseys), Ian Ryan (St Senans), Brian Scanlon (Gerald Griffins), Tim Scanlon (Glin), Patrick Sheehan (St Mary’s/Sean Finns), Brian Treacy (Mungret), David Ward (Fr Caseys).0 - Many of you have already given your opinions on the hurling fiasco with support for the striking players seemingly thin on the grounds round these parts.

i've heard two differing stories regarding James Ryan. I heard from a source in January that James Ryan was committing exclusively to the footballers this year and in the same month i heard he was going to play both codes this year. From a Limerick point of view, he was our only find of last year for the hurlers and he highly impressed me with the footballers in 2008. I'd prefer to see him concentrate on the football, really missed him last year.Lads whats the story at all? On AFR they are saying James Ryan isn't going back to the panel at all now

Don't think anything will be sorted tonight
well it said that the players that didn't attend all had genuine reasons for not training that night. So if they didn't go, it sounded like they would have if possible. But you can never trust those papers wording at times :P
and yep premier, looks like it'll be on thursday at 2.30 in nenagh 0 -

Well, with respect, Mark Foley is retired from inter-county hurling, so he's already on the road!What ****e are you talking. What gives you the impression that Lucey has a big head. Do you have facts to back up what your saying, id love to hear a few.You should look closer to home to the likes of BIG HEAD "MARK FOLEY" Its about time he got the road. Everyone i've talked to has told me that Lucey is one of the main instigators of the current strike. Even Croom people have told me this, so i doubt they're all wrong! 0 -
A pretty satisfactory victory for the u-21 footballers in west Clare last evening

Limerick 1-10 Clare 0-10
By Fintan O’Toole
Thursday, March 11, 2010
FOR the majority of last night’s Cadbury’s Munster U21FC quarter-final in Cooraclare, Limerick full-forward Cormac Joyce-Power’s role entailed aiding his colleagues out the field. But, when stationed close to goal late on, his impact was decisive in settling this game. As his side trailed 0-8 to 0-9 in the final stages, the Limerick senior player made his telling contribution. In the 52nd minute he touched down a pass from Bobby O’Brien into the path of Seamus O’Carroll, collected the return and neatly tucked a shot into the bottom corner of the net. Suddenly Limerick were in the ascendancy for the first time since the fourth minute and Clare, who had hitherto controlled proceedings, were in the uncomfortable position of being on the backfoot.
O’Carroll tacked on another point for Limerick, and although Clare full-forward Gary Leahy maintained the high standards of accuracy that had characterised his freetaking all night, with a point in the 58th minute, it was Joyce-Power who had the final say. He seized possession in open space around the middle in the 52nd minute before striding forward to hit a marvellous long-range effort between the posts to seal Limerick’s advance to a last four meeting with Tipperary next Thursday night in Semple Stadium. That strong late finish capped a wonderful recovery from Limerick as for much of the night they looked listless against a forceful and energetic Clare side. A frozen Gaelic Grounds pitch meant Limerick had to cough up home advantage as the tie was switched to the West Clare venue early yesterday and Clare looked adapted better to familiar surroundings in the first-half.
Limerick struck two early blows with points from Eoghan O’Connor and Tony McMahon inside the first four minutes, but thereafter in the opening half Clare’s rearguard was a watertight unit. Clare had levelled the match by the 7th minute thanks to a pair of fine frees by Gary Leahy and they were also thankful to goalkeeper Peter O’Dwyer who made a smart block to deny O’Carroll a 9th minute goal. The lively nature of the opening stages bore portents for an engaging encounter, yet the play became bogged down around the middle for the remainder of the first-half. Shooting was wayward on both sides with Limerick having reason to bemoan the fact that the foothold O’Brien and Joyce-Power gave them around the middle never materialised into a stream of scores.
Instead Clare grew into the game with Sean Collins, who has been starring at variety of levels in hurling of late, starting to acquit himself brilliantly with the big ball and his Cratloe clubmate Liam Markham also shining. Up front Clare had a pair of forwards with an eye for a score in Leahy and Padraig McMahon, and they each notched a brace apiece between the 22nd and 31st minutes to leave Clare 0-6 to 0-2 ahead at the break.
Clare got an early fillip in the second-half when Shane Brennan curled a beautiful shot between the posts, but Limerick mounted a strong response as they eradicated the sloppy handling of their first-half play. O’Connor emerged as a prolific scoretaker up front and the promptings of centre-back Eoin Joy also underpinned their revival. O’Connor (2) and O’Carroll whittled down Clare’s advantage to 0-7 to 0-5 by the 39th minute. Yet Clare seemed to have weather that storm when Brennan and substitute Michéal Malone chipped in with a point apiece to provide them with a four point cushion, 0-9 to 0-5, entering the final quarter. Their vocal home support sensed Clare were on the cusp of a satisfying success, which was all the more admirable considering the absence of Kilmurry-Ibrickane stars Darren Hickey and Mark McCarthy.
At that juncture it was extremely difficult to see Limerick turning things around but they managed to do that in remarkable fashion. O’Connor was on target from open play and placed ball, and when Joy charged through in the 51st minute to blast over, they were only a point adrift. Limerick never let that steam of momentum drop and Joyce-Power bossed the match in a significant fashion late on to propel the Treaty side forward.
Scorers for Limerick: E O’Connor 0-5 (0-3f), C Joyce-Power 1-1, S O’Carroll 0-2, T McMahon, E Joy 0-1 each.

Yes, this is a forum, for people to have their say.Your spot on orizio. Its people like grenache who add fuel to the fire. Grenache clearly hasnt a clue what he/she is talking about and still has to have a say. I've clearly ruffled your feathers, will you be bringing the other two members of the Stephen Lucey fan club on to this thread in the coming days?

Seriously what age are you? By your replies id say your about 13 or 14, or else your someone who just likes talking through their arse alot.Yes, this is a forum, for people to have their say.

You still have not explained what you mean about Luceys big head.
Whats with the childish smilies????0 -

Jayzuz, you seem to have a big problem with Lucey, im starting to think he has done something to you or a mate in the past. Go to a shrink and let it all out for the love of God. Do you think that talking **** about people is humour and have you ever been in a dressing room with Lucey. Id doubt it, id say your just another hurler on the ditch who thinks they know it all from "hear say".God bless you, you're very new to this forum aren't you. 40 odd posts and half of them licking Stephen Lucey's arse. The smilies aid with the sentiment of a post, they add humour, something you don't seem to be familiar with. If they were childish the option of using them wouldn't be there. Stephen Lucey likes to think he's the leader of the pack, talks and shouts a lot, and if Stephen doesn't get his way then he throws his toys out of the pram. Anyone who knows anything about Limerick hurling knows that he's the main trouble instigator in the camp, the guy who upsets things. Who do you think McCarthy was referring to when he talked about a couple of ''trouble makers'' in the squad? - Donie Ryan? Paul Browne?? maybe it was the kitman?!! :rolleyes:
So what about the 40 posts....! Half of them licking Luceys arse Ive only replied 3-4 times to you. Your really scraping the arse of the barrell now for come backs:D. So who are the trouble makers?? 0 -
Well I'll be. Here you are engaging in second hand rumors yet you were quite happy to try and tear me apart in my Brian Cody thread for doing the same. The irony is delicious as they say.Well, with respect, Mark Foley is retired from inter-county hurling, so he's already on the road!

Stephen Lucey!! I've heard it from 2 players and plenty other folk who are close enough to the squad, and in case you hadn't noticed, Lucey was one of the 12 dropped from the panel. If you wish to defend him, fair enough, but there's no smoke without fire.Jayzuz, you seem to have a big problem with Lucey, im starting to think he has done something to you or a mate in the past.

Christ its this WUM again, yours was not a rumour, it was a stupid pointless thread. You started a thread entitled ''Should Brian Cody be sacked?'' :rolleyes: I'm not going to attempt to engage in meaningful discussion with such wind up merchants as you.Teddy Chips wrote: »Well I'll be.
