Might be good for Limerick hurling but not great for everyone else when the super clubs start harnessing their natural advantages. I know TBF both clubs are putting in a lot of work. But itās ominous

It will all happen in cycles, itās their turn we had a great run at it but itās coming to an end now.
Ya, a lot of new builds started yer side now so it will come again. But Mungret and Monaleen are both seeing serious development, on top of what was already there. Mungret must have 40k in their catchment. Monaleen probably not far off
Yeah, Mungret literally have all of the south side of the city and Monaleen the east, tough for Pats Claughaun Christians to even survive at all.
Presuming thereās no parish rule in the city would it not make sense for Pats/Claghaun to benefit from Monaleens excess players?
Mom and pops from Monaleen wouldnāt like their kids playing with the boyos from Rhebogue

Thereās a huge cultural divide out passed the hurlers
All three should be far more aggressive on transfers from outside as well. The great Claghaun teams of the 80s were built on lads in the council, factories etc bringing in ringers.
Not really a thing in Limerick for lads in the city to go between clubs, apart from the three weaker clubs, Patās to Claghaun used to be common enough. Claghaun took the pick. But as their star has fallen to the level of Pats itās not so common. The two need to merge really, but sure they hate each other.
Ballinacurra gaels and Christians are nothing clubs anymore. BG never were TBF. Christians were built on the school originally, their catchment area would be all soccer and older estates.

St Pats and Claughan have Pike Rovers, Fairview, Geraldines, Granville, Aisling Anacotty all to contend with. Throw the rugby in as well. Monaleen have anacotty to deal with all right. Thats a hell of a lot of good soccer clubs and its a soccer part of town

Ya the three weaker clubs are all poor relations to the soccer. Pats were always more dangerous early in the summer before the soccer started.
Castletroy view lads are even a bit odd and theyāre only looking in on the posh cunts

Even christians, youve hyde, summerville, prospect, weston, boro and carew park. Thats mental when you think about it and theyāre practically living on top of young munsters and crescent

Do the rugby clubs draw from their catchment areas or how does it work? I know itās a familial thing as well as a geographic one. Munsters and the Crescent are on top of each other. Hardly pulling the same lads?
Do they transfer between each other a lot like the soccer?
I know as young lads we all played with young munsters from prospect and weston. I donāt know where crescent picks from. We had some team of delinquents from 10s to 16s. Iād say once you get to adult rugby lads might move
Hurling isnāt really a thing in Limerick City at all is it?
More than any city in Tipp anyway
