They'll fancy their chances against St. Michael's with Abbeyfeale beating them at Christmas.

Abbeyfeale may have only played four games in the Munster Champions Trophy but they defeated four sides who were all reigning premier division champions in their respective leagues. Three of their four games were against top sides and there was nothing between them.

More than 4.They also had to win their league to get there.😊😊😊

genuine question, is there any way in the desmond league you can appeal a straight red if you feel it is unjust?

**southern kid** · 02/04/2017, 4:05 PM

No unfortunately not. The referees decision is final and to be fair there is some shocking decisions made by them.. I seen one today that influenced the result in a game and ref got it wrong. And another one with brdf v annacotty by a linesman that could have been influenced it by disallowing a genuine on side goal and calling it off side. Shocking really at that level.. what was the red card for..

basically i was a neutral at a game today and the ref *H sent off two players from the same team, 1st red card the fella who was sent off was firstly held in a head lock a few minutes earlier nothing done, then when he came onto the keeper, he was boxed and kicked by him and the fella who did nothing was sent off. 2nd red was when a player was running into the box with the ball, player kicked it goalkeeper (loss of control) and kept going and bundled into him and shown straight red. although the team with 9 won 1-0

A red card can be appealed to MFA but if you dont win your case and get it rescinded you forfeit the appeal fee.And very very few if any win them.So good luck with it if ye appeal to MFA.You have only certain length of time to do it and not sure of timeframe.Im sure the Sec of Desmond League would give that info.But it definetely can be done.No doubt.Ive known clubs in Limerick who have done it.

You'd never get it appealed to MFA before the League Cup game roborwarsfan - waste of money!

The league is in Rathkeale's hands after Abbeyfeale's draw with Rovers yesterday. They're seven points ahead with one game more played and even if Abbeyfeale were to win their game in hand and beat Rathkeale, I'm not sure if Rathkeale would drop points in their remaining games which are (in no particular order):

Newcastle West AFC (H).
Athea United (A).
Carrig Celtic (H).
Broadford United (H).
Abbeyfeale United (A).

While Abbeyfeale have:

Newcastle West AFC (A).
Ballingarry (A).
Killeaney (H).
Athea United (H).
Broadford United (A).
Rathkeale (H).

Sound faceoff and langerdan I'm not affiliated with any club so don't have a clue of the fixture list?

**fanaticfan** · 03/04/2017, 2:59 PM

Michael Brosnan player of the year for the LDFL. How can someone get player of the year when the league and desmond cup isn't even finished. Congrats to Michael though. A great talent. Is that Premier Division player of the year? If so does anyone know who got the otherain in the rest of the divisons

Does anyone know who Rathkeale and Abbey have in their final 2 games of the season. It would be a massive advantage to Abbey to play Rathkeale in Abbey with on the final weekend
