If we beat Tipp in the first round Frank will need to build at least another tier.

He’d nearly want it going out to tender by this Friday I’d say.
Just saying he wasn’t jealous.
Frank I’m sure will he ever the tender all sorted.
We’ll sort out those Tipp cunts again next year. Limerick never feared Tipp

Munster League will commence on December 30th. Fixtures out December 8th.
U-21 hurling draw 2018 - Clare v Limerick in quarter final. Winners play Tipp. Tough draw for the reigning champions.
Handy one for the u-20 footballers. Play Kerry. Winners face Waterford.
Roll on 2018. Especially looking forward to the trips to Ruislip for division four football on Feb 11th and the hurlers trek up to Cushendall two weeks later.

Patrick O’Donovan announces €1.6m sports grants for county Limerick clubs:
By Limerick Leader Sport
MINISTER of State for Finance and Public Expenditure, Patrick O’Donovan, has announced that almost €1.6million in sports capital grants are to be invested in the Limerick County Constituency.
Making the announcement on Twitter this Wednesday evening, Minister O’Donovan said on his website that news of the sports grants was “fantastic for the clubs and organisations, their volunteers and the communities that they’re based in”.
“Local sports organisations are constantly trying to improve their facilities and I know the difficulties that they encounter in trying to raise money. This is particularly difficult in smaller communities with small populations, so being able to deliver this money to the constituency as a Minister is important for me,” he said.
"When I was Minister for Sport I reopened the Sports Capital Programme for applications because I could see the need for investment in our communities. I convinced my Government colleagues that this was needed and I’m delighted now to say that sixty different projects in our area are being funded through this programme.
He added that he understood that not every club got what they had looked for and some were unsuccessful in their efforts; however he said that Minister Brendan Griffin had awarded funds to those clubs whose applications were valid.
“This is good news for the towns, villages and parishes across Co. Limerick who will receive this funding. The funding means that construction companies across Limerick will be able to get local contracts in the community, something which I know will be a very positive thing for our rural economy.”

Unbelievable coincidence that a Government Minister sees his local GAA, soccer and golf club all successful with their applications. 
All politics is local, as they say.
Newcastle West Golf Club €8,500 : story here???
Hospital Handball Club €43,500 : handball that big in Hospital?
There’s a strong GAA link with NCW golf club and that has duly been rewarded.
€43k for a Handball Club. Are they building a New Court?
Is this the grant that you must fundraise the equivalent amount before you can access it?
Presume so.
A golf club getting money is fucking ridiculous.

Aughanish Diving Club - 12k 
Why so? Most golf clubs are conpletely broke
Hospital is a big place for the handball
Thats the one that jumped out at me. 
Adare haven’t done too bad either and of course Donovan did his local clubs proud. All coincidence.
Golf isn’t a sport and so shouldn’t get a penny.
Soccerball is a waste of money.
Two grand for boxing in Rathkeale!
