Couple of estates there are terrible.
Serious drugs and anti-social carry onâŚI always thought it was crazy people from the city sending their kids to school out there.
Never understood that.

Croom bar was one of the best pubs in Limerick back in the day,anytime Cork were passing through when a match was on the place would be hopping.Remember watching Ireland beat Italy inside there at USA94,great memories seems like a lifetime ago now and the pub is long since gone with the legend of a publican passing away few years back aswell.

Iâm not from croom, I couldânt tell you being honest but that element was always there anyway the last 30 years or so.
The CailĂn BĂĄn festival was a joy, back in the day. A bit rough but not âtownieâ rough. The place is a shithole now which is sad to say. When they moved every bottom feeder out there from the city it signaled the end of Croom as a place to go for a quiet pint.
On another note, Limerick friends of the forum will no doubt agree that Croom will be a junior club by the end of the year. What a shame.

Its a disgrace considering they were senior finalists 10 years ago.
They canât field teams underage.
Wouldnât know that. Itâs a long time since I played Darts in any kind of competition. In fact I think the last lad I bate in competition was Rocky Giltenane from Croagh back in the Tavern with Mrs. OâDonoghue throwing out, literally, shit porter. A long while back now but happy days.

The games between Askeaton and Ardagh pubs were legendary . The drink driving killed darts in West Limerick I suppose .

Croom had great minor teams from 1996 to 1999 and that sustained them for a decade and a half , there was little or nothing behind that brilliant crop unfortunately.
Thereâs nothing there now at underage level sadly.
The darts talk is lovely lads but the same conversation about hurling is going on in two threads now, tighten up.
Thereâs a grand park and playground in Croom with a nice little coffee shop, otherwise itâs as dreary a town as youâll see in Ireland, I hope I have the right thread.
True and itâs a pity.
It is pretty grim ok.
