Under 18 team drew with Cork in the Munster Championship at the weekend in the Top Grade but were reliant on goals in a 4-9 to 0-21 draw. The Under 16s won the B All Ireland last year and had a few decent forwards that have graduated to this years Under 18 team.

They are needed because a lot of the 2007 All Ireland Winning Senior B team have started to drift. Its a pity that Naomi Carroll went to Clare and that Anna Geary is playing for Cork because they would be two excellent players to have.

Who can blame players for choosing other teams.

The standard in Limerick is low at the minute.

Naomi Carroll was kicking ass for Mary I recently, was she with Limerick?
Is Anna Geary from the Limerick side of the border, how come she ended up playing with Cork?
If they are losing to Derry things must be very bad.

Naomi Carroll won the Under 18 All Ireland title in 2009 for Limerick almost single handedly with an injury time hat trick in the final against Waterford at Mallow. She transferred back to Clare the following year.

Anna Geary is apparently from the Dromcollogher side of Milford but started with them and stayed with them. I think she is connected to Martin Geary of the 1963 Limerick Minor team, who is the father of Niall Geary of Tramore and Waterford and later Cork and Nemo Rangers.

Was that an injury time hat trick of goals? Clare camogie is hardly big time.

I just heard they were hammered by Waterford today in the camogie. Not enough players from the best club in the county.

They could leave players on the bench SLR they are not that short. Picking players that haven't been at any trainings makes no sense. Also, too many players are being played out of their natural and best positions. They should not have lost that game yesterday but the difference in waterfords teamwork which was very visible in their passing and support, and limericks unbalanced selection swung the game.

I don't think the problem is matching pace with pace. What Limerick need are their best players playing in their best positions to allow them to have as much influence on the game as possible. We don't have enough players of the top top quality to afford to marginalise them. The team have some really top quality players but they will look ordinary and not contribute their true potential to the team if they stuck in a position they are unsuited to. The problem is made worse when you have a player of lesser quality playing in a central position getting in trouble. I wouldn't say Clare have a hugely better field of players to choose from but they have shown what can be achieved when the set up is right.

Why has Camogie in Limerick slipped so much over the last while.Its not long ago the County were winning underage and adult All Ireland titles and the future looked bright.I remember watching some sports programme on tv featuring the Sheehan sisters from Granagh as Limerick contested a senior C.ship semi final.Not sure how long ago that was but I think Ciaran Carey was the manager at the time.Was not enough done to build on this and blend that team with the fine young players that followed shortly after.?

i was at the game myself the weekend and to say the management didnt do any favours by moving one of their most on form player away from the goal were she is most dangerous in the full forward line , waterford loved every minute of it known that she was basically helping her own backline out rather then scoring . you could see when she got settled in second half on the wing she started putting points over . I cant see Limerick beating Derry as they are the favourites to win it this year . Interesting group .
