ROSCOMMON V LIMERICK KILMALLOCK SAT 14TH. Will many rossies travel to this one, very early start for a saturday.
This one will test us alright.. I hear it's at 2.30 FFS >:(
3 hours plus drive & that isnt allowing for claregalway bottle neck ( for anybody going that way) ,also getting through limerick city.
Go early - Tell herself she is been brought on a romantic Valentine's day trip and suprise her. I will possibly make the journey alright even though it could be a frosty reception on many fronts. How are Limerick looking so far this year?
Limerick were suppose to be going well, and with the return of three duals players we were expecting better against Louth last week, but they pretty much got hammered.
Nobody will stop me from travelling to this game. I have been waiting for this game for so long.
Distance is no issue. I wouln't forgive myself if I missed it. Nobody call on me on the fouteenth because I won't be home.
I'm actually serious. I live in Limerick and my wife's people are from Roscommon.
mickey ned said that none of the 3 dual players will start on sunday, some of them may be introduced during the game if things are not going limericks way.
Final Score:
Limerick 0-14 Roscommon 1-10
thats a serious win for limerick.
A fcuk it anyway...equalised in the 4th minute of the 3 mins additional time only for Ref M Collins - nuff said- to allow another minute for Limerick to get an equaliser.
Still best team won and we were well out of it for the first quarter-- went 4pts - to 0 down and then 5 to 1.
Fought gallantly but lack of size/strength and some less than sensible ball at times into forwards didnt help. A great goal midway through second half gave us a short lived lead ,Limerick overhauled us again and then into additional time.....
As for playing the game in bloody Kilmallock... we should drag these hoors to Boyle or Ballyfarnon if we meet them next year.
Indiana - Limerick should have bet Cork last year so should it not be a case of a serious effort by lowly Ros to run them to a point in the most remote part of their County ;)
mickey ned said in an interview on limerick 95 after the game that he had alot of homework done on the rossies beforehand,this included sending a scout to one of the rossies training sessions
