I wonder are over 45s going to be the next thing here. Masters gaa crept up to over 40s but soccer is still at 35. Big difference between a 35 and a 45 year old though. Next stop the priests over 75

Better than umpires from each club.

most lads are still togging out in the league proper at 35, especially if they’re any use
I’d imagine you’d be more of a clay court specialist

weather or another reason?
Weather.
When Semple Stadium wasn’t playable it looked ominous for a bog on the side of a hill in West Limerick.

I remember passing a pitch in that fairly bleak place Glensharrold (Carrickerry) before but it must be a soccer pitch as that would be in Ardagh parish (unless they’ve a second ground - our club at home would have a second one about 5km away from the main ground where we played a good bit of underage games.)
St Kierans GAA Club (Ardagh) would have been home to at least 3 soccer clubs at one stage; Creeves, Carrigkerry & Kilcolman.
There was also a team in Ardagh called Ashtown Villa but they disappeared a good while back.

Carrigkerry pitch must be Glensharrold so. I like West Limerick a lot but that place was fucking eerie.
Well, that went worse than usual. I got called every name under the sun. Was told I shouldn’t be refereeing if I didn’t know the rules (all by the team who won comfortably), and came dangerously close to losing my temper with the coach, to a bad level.
That’s it for me and refereeing anyway.
You really would want your head examined.

You got the £50, move on.
You should have caused havoc. Send the lot of them off
Didn’t take money. Never have.
Do you know the rules fully?
