WELL DONE MOYNE VILLA , LET ME BE THE FIRST TO CONGRATULATE YE ON PROMOTION . TAKE A SMALL BREAK FORGET ABOUT THE GAA AND COME BACK FRESH AND LAUNCH AN ATTEMPT TO GET YE BACK INTO THE PREMIER , AGAIN WELL DONE !

WHO WILL WIN PREMIER LEAGUE????

I would like to congratulate Salthill Devon on winning the under 13 (legal )league , they won it deservadly so as they were they top team that did not play a man on the team well done Devon and also well done to the other 7 legal teams in the division !
If any one on the forum wants to see what mixed football looks like ie adult and kids on the same ...

i'll pick the players who have impressed me the most,bearing in mind i've only seen some of the selections 3 or 4 times this season.
1.padraic lally salthill
2.john egan west utd
3.tommy walsh mervue
4.emmett byrne athenry
5.keith mchugh hibs
6.jamie o driscoll athenry
...

renmore gone after being thrashed 4-0 by colga, anyone know of the rumours there gonna pull out now there relegated and concentrate on juvenile??

west beat mervue B 2nite to qualify for the last 8,wasn't at the game,i believe west rested alot of players and were nearly caught on the hop by a mervue side who deserved something out of the game.west are now at home to either blues our mervue A in the last 8.

My housemate plays on a soccer team here in Limerick. Also a new team. So, curiosity brewing, I decided to take a look into the Limerick ladies set up. I'm impressed. Starts late April and finished by mid - September with loads of competitions and games. 14 teams, seeing Lifford on the list, this is also including teams in Clare.

They have divisions down to U 12.

My impression is that there is no mucking about.

Galway soccer is so far behind.

marydrummer , for one so young you are very observant and 95% correct which is a close to perfect s you will get in Galway .
The 5% wrong is your final point Galway Soccer is so far behind . I would clarify that by saying the running of Galway Soccer is so far behind ........its actully in the 18th century . Twenty years ago I went to my first Galway fa meeting in the Atlanta hotel in Dominick street , at the time every club in Galway were giving out about the way it was run , four months ago I was at the agm very few changes in faces at the top table , and low and behold every club in Galway giving out .
As part of the Galway District league ladies soccer will not grow , will not be organised and will always be controversial . Unless ladies soccer in Galway organise a complete committee of their own to organise games , underage leagues etc it will stay much the same as it is , a few games to keep ye quiet ! Sad but true .
Organise a agm for beginning of November , select a Chairwoman , sec treas and assistants plus a rep from each club current and intending including all underage ( maybe a manager from every team also ) .
After agm at first of yer( fortnightly) meetings , organise each division , age group etc and put two committee persons to co ordinate each division and before xmas have all the probs sorted and fixtures in place . If ye had the money raised maybe operate the first year by the outgoing admin in the Galway fa John Joyce very good at running week to week fixtures .
Re the likes of Lifford in Ennis Co Clare , one of the main guys behind is a former Galwegian now based down there . My niece played all the way up with them from u 12 where they even had b teams .They have been consistently over the past fifteen + years one of the biggest suppliers of underage players to Irish squads . They are organised , as you say no messing . Can be done here too with the right people running it , and an equally forcefull bunch inthe background keeping them on their toes .

You are probably right, actually no, you are right.
If I wasn't so busy with college, I'd try and get people together and stuff but who do you talk to? Where do you start? How do you get the so called "big boy(s)" running the league, shambolically might I add, to get their head out of their arse and to cop the hell on when all they have tasted is sweet victory?!
Evil or Very Mad

I have spent 2+ hours in a roasting hot recording studio listening to drums thump over and over, I'm in a bit of a foul mood and it feels good to rant!
