Western Gale is badly missed on this thread for the results.

Shannonside 2-3 Glin Rovers A in the Munster Junior Cup and an even better result was our B team hammering Shauntrade who are in a higher division 4-0 away in the Richard Hogan Cup

Have to say overall standard in the Desmond League has really dropped & continues to decline year on year. To improve standard should more clubs not look to amalagate to a parish level so instead of having 2 average clubs, have 1 decent club. If I look at the Ardagh region as example, we have Kilcolman, Carrig, Old Mill......should they not combine, same with Askeaton & ballysteen etc. Less teams but better quality & overall competition ?

Been saying this for last couple of years, the new structure in schoolboy soccer will bring it on i'd say

Hard to break the Parish setup!!

Is frank nelligan ever gonna get over abbeyfeale not losing game since last november to a desmond league team. Start of the season it was winning streak but now since they drew to killeaney its there unbeaten run, about time he got over it and concentrate on a different team other than Abbeyfeale at start the soccer round up on sunday evening. Every sunday on the radio he has started with abbey.

In relation to the standard of the Desmond League dropping I agree... from what I've seen this season it hasn't been great. Have been to a few premier games and although they are wholehearted there is only flashes of good play... BUT then you look at Abbeyfeale & Ballingarry reaching the last 8 of Munster last season & Abbeyfeale pushing Janesboro to pens in the Champions Cup this season.
Things have changed from a few years ago also, players are being taken from their clubs at even younger ages now to either play in the City leagues or with the Limerick F.C. Underage teams... obviously going to have an affect on junior teams.

Whoa, where did that come from fanaticfan? In fairness he is an Abbey man & is obviously proud of them (& perhaps a little biased!!!) they are the treble winners from last season so lave him off... they'll lose soon... won't they??

I agree about the standard in lower divisions,I was in Devon inn at s wedding a few wks back so popped down to watch a game across the way and dear god it was cat,now in fairness I think it was there b team.premier standard is still good wit the exception of kildimo. As for frank nelligan and abeyfeale I suppose he is on talking facts an as a ncw man fanatic it can't be easy hear it, of course they will lose a game but apparently they have been playing last few Sunday's missing 5 or 7 for diff reasons,hard to believe they have that kind of squad?? Rovers doing v well out there this season.what is the pick of games this wknd? This wknd should be a good test of standard as some playing Clare an Kerry teams who have both been Oscar traynor finalists last couple seasons

**fanaticfan** · 26/09/2015, 6:21 PM

In not a ncw man southern kid, my club arent in the premier division. I think both ncw teams will win,rathkeale,glin,killeaney,ballingarry and abbey will win. Rest of desmond teams will lose i think

**old man** · 26/09/2015, 8:57 PM

Southeren kid. "Exception Kildimo " are u talking about the field or the team,cos the team are better then some premier teams at the moment

**Shoot** · 26/09/2015, 11:53 PM

They will lose tomorrow to a desmond league team LOL

Ah lads no Oscar Traynor team for the League again this season... http://thejuniorsoccerportal.info/os...-and-fixtures/
I said it before; fair play to Ray Lynch, John Kelliher, Marty Foley & Pat Dalton for keeping this going in the last few seasons I enjoyed going to Clounreask to watch our home games and gives players the opportunity to represent their league. Shame it hasn't been carried on.
