Perfectly valid point and as you say a subject Kiely raised himself without being prompted. I hope the management team and majority of the players stays on for another crack at it next year. Fitzy01 (Limerick) - Posts: 411 - 10/07/2024 10:27:19 2558168 Link 1 |

It's possible Kiely could be in running as a FF candidate in next election. Also touted that he might be part of JP's team for Ryder Cup.

Hard luck Limerick, good result for Hurling last weekend though. Delighted for Kyle Hayes and John Kiely. Bdonegal1991 (Donegal) - Posts: 88 - 13/07/2024 17:31:22 2558713 Link 1 |

I have heard that but it is probably just one of many Nonsensical Roumours that have come up since this team came to the top

Havnt seen much on this forum lately..first up how are minor and under 20 fixtures taking place so close to each other??also some minors at club level are wanted for adult teams,which means they could have 3 games in seven days..what's the hurry with under 20??I know people will disagree with my view..another thing why are limerick matches not being shown on limerick Gaa or on clubber tv??othercounties also offer discounted tickets to go to a number of games over the weekend,I see our neighbours in Clare did it over the weekend..are our county board dining on the senior success of last 6 years and forgetting completely about promotion of games and keeping young people interested and involved..not much coverage given to underage academey teams this past weekend and no updates at any stage unless I was looking in wrong places..

Going to be abit of nightmare trying to get all those U20 fixtures played for clubs but some attempt needs to be made to try and get played as early as possible otherwise they will run into December which is not ideal either There is alot of amalgamations in these competitions also which further complicates this. If a clubs adult team is playing one week they will not want to risk injury with U20s playing the week before. The amount of amalgamated teams is a concern, clubs must not be bringing through enough underage players or even with Limerick success are playing numbers reducing. journeyman (Limerick) - Posts: 141 - 26/08/2024 14:00:24 2566946 Link 1 |

The removal of the Weekend programme for the hurling championship weekends was a huge backward step, even if it lost a few quid theres plenty of income from gate receipts to compensate . Having zero matchs streamed puts Limerick as one of the worst in the country PR wise. Clubs should be making a bigger deal of it at county board meetings. Two good weekends coming up .

I was looking for matches to stream but couldnt find any. Or any reference to whether or not they were going to stream. Seems like a missed opportunity. And how hard would it have been to post a notice on their website that "due to bla blah we will not be streaming"? Although coverage last year was pretty poor. Single camera, restricted views, albeit with decent commentary. Be great if they picked one game every weekend and gave it decent coverage (probably needs to be in Gaelic Grounds so you dont get pillars in the way) Meanwhile, seems like Kiely (and so presumably Kinnerk) are sticking around. Great bit of news. Yadse (Limerick) - Posts: 57 - 26/08/2024 15:25:48 2566971 Link 1 |

The days of every parish having a team are coming to a close . Fine for Nap , Mungret & Monaleen with 3 or 4 teams but many clubs out the county need to amalgamate at adult level to be anyway competitive into the future . West Limerick should have about 6 to 8 hurling clubs not 16-18 . Similarly East & South Limerick should have about 4-6 football clubs each rather than multiple walkovers every year in football championships .

Yes, looking like that. I guess their has been very little new houses built in rural villages in the last 20 years which has led to rural depopulation. I can only assume that that this is the reason as with Limerick's success in the last 6-7 years kids would surely want to play hurling. journeyman (Limerick) - Posts: 141 - 28/08/2024 16:56:15 2567411 Link 1 |

The Government do not want people living in Rural Ireland so the old GAA parish rule is not working now and will work even less into the future as many towns and villages depopulate which is already happening in a lot of parishs in West Limerick & North Kerry.

Another year slips by and the Gaelic Grounds has not hosted a single underage final, no adult group championship games in either hurling or football and nothing is being said about it. Until a few years ago it was in use a few days a week with minor/u20 underage semi finals/finals and adult group games (all grades). The pitch was not in great nick and could be very wet in front of the stand but still got great use and loads of players from a variety of clubs got to play there.

What kind of raiméis are you spouting? The pitch was overused to death last year and it was f**ked for the entire spring. It's not a Premier League soccer ground that can stand up to a lot of games.

It looks like Mick Neville Park in Rathkeale is now being used as a venue for alot of club games since a stand was built there meaning the Gaelic Grounds is used less and less. journeyman (Limerick) - Posts: 141 - 24/09/2024 14:06:28 2571620 Link 0 |

I noticed this to journeyman..2 hurling quarter finals at 2 different venues on same day..why not together in Gaelic grounds??I see aswell where semis might not be on there aswell..I also see where 2 parish rivals are being taken to the other side of the county for a minor semi?is there a reason for this??I also agree with others who said the programme situation is dire..used to be a decent production with all teams and matches from juinor to senior coveted,now it's a photo copied sheet..do clubs in limerick get any day in what top table are doing anymore..

Not sure about a variety of clubs, most underage Division 1 finals involve only Na Piarsagh, Monaleen & Mungret in most cases .

I find there is a better atmosphere and subsequently a better game in the smaller venues around the county, like a lot of big grounds around the country a small crowd in the GG is lost. 2,000 in Bruff, Kilmallock or Caherconlish gives a cracking atmosphere while you hardly see them in a bigger ground.
