Limerick Desmond League 2009/10

[soccer8]

i would definately prefer to play in glin rovers pitch than play in carrig or newcastle rovers field!!carrig have to change the fields every year because the bog ha!


A lot of digs at Carrig personally I think the carrig set up is very good compared to the majority of the league it has a stand astro turf and dressing rooms which the majority of clubs don't have...they have everything now, so maybe they can work on the pitch

But for the likes of Kildimo, Glin and a few more have they got any plans for a new pitch? surely if Kildimo get to the premier they will have to have dressing rooms I dont think you should be allowed in the premier without dressing rooms the league has to start setting standards and dressing rooms are a must....

I agree with you about Kildimo and they should be not allowed in Premier Division with out at least some commitment been given to start work on dressing rooms. As for your comment on Glin, why would they want plans for a new pitch when the have already got a level pitch (when its cut), a seated stand and dressing rooms. I think you need to apologise to the Glin lads.

Glin have a nice place with a nice stand and i dont think the field isn't too bad once its cut, but im afraid lad i wouldn't call it level. Last time i remember the was a SLIGHT slant towards the dressing room :-)

Only four pitches that i could say are up to standard in the leauge ant they are, Askeaton, Rathkeale, Broadford and Clounreask. Broadford in my opinion now have the best set-up with dressing rooms and pitch. Have a fine big training area and if they would put down astro turf they would have everything done. The pitch is immaculate and an absolute joy to play on...

I agree the four stated above have fine setups, but i dont agree with the best playing surface, I have to say i find the pitch in Asketon to be terrible to play on but at least it is flat.
Abbeyfeale would have to be included if they let the grass grow on their pitch to many games played on main pitch if you aske me.

very rare the grass is cut to a reasonable height no disrespect to Glin I just think if the standard in the Desmond League is to improve the pitches have to improve and I am just using that hill as an example.....

Ya I think Broadford have the best set up aright followed closely by Askeaton, Ballingarry and Rathkeale. I always liked Killeaneys pitch as well and as far as I can remember Athea have a good set up. Personally I always found the pitch in Abbeyfeale to be very heavy during the winter months but their grounds in general are a credit to them. As for the pitch in Clounreask I always found it to be very rough and bumpy, I havent played there in a few years though so that might have been rectified since.

Agreed. Carrig pitch might not be like a snooker table but then again its far from being the worst in the league. So called good players can play on any pitch. Not having a dig at teams without dressing rooms but in fairness in this day and age no reason teams cant have them. Broadford's dressing rooms are a credit to them. They probably have the best playing surface too in my opinion.

[mad4it]

I think what carrig have achieved in such a short existance is a credit to their club and the commitee behind it...remember its not that long ago that broadford, kileaney, bally rovers, askeaton and a few more had bad pitches and they have been around alot longer. I think i remember glantine having a tree in the middle of their field!! So maybe ,given time, when the rest of the facilites are paid for carrig might concentrate on improving the pitch but at the moment i think its fine as it is.

I wont keep having ago at carrig. To be fair to them they have done an awful lot in the past few years to improve their facilities and maybe in time they might improve their pitch.
However as a team the have lost an awful lot of players to immigration and stuff and aren't as strong as they were. The likes of pa sullivan who went to australia. Well i suppose he wouldn't be a great example since he was past it and on his last legs before he left.

Hard luck today to the Youths. Ya i agree its a disgrace that only 13 travelled. I think it is definately time for the Desmond league to act now and start punising either the player involved or the club that they represent. The Oscar Trynor was the same this season with some player's not interested in playing. Ithink it is a total disgrace.

[western gale]

Totally agree with you sky blue, it's an absolutel disgrace. I heard that one of the desmond defenders got injured during extra time and that he had to be replaced by the sub keeper

I know young Fitz is injured (wish him a speedy recovery), did willy griffin play?
Any report Ask Me Tom?

13 ?? Thats very bad alright. You would think young fella's would be proud to say they're on the Desmond league panel. If they turn it down once they should never be asked again. That goes for the junior team too. Plenty of players out there that would be delighted to be even asked.

Glin got the equalizer in the fourth minute of injury time, and I heard that Glin scored their second goal also in injury time. I would also like to wish Jordan Fitz a very speedy recovery, a very good player that has represented the S'boy League at all levels and also at youths level

Glin v Askeaton last Sun. Glin short their Tarbert guys Askeaton short Foley, Fitzgibbon and Griffin. Glin took lead on 10mins Askeaton equalised after 30 and lead 5 from h/t, went 3-1 up after 70. Glin pulled 1 back on 80 and equalised 4 mins into stoppage time . Both keepers had days to forget being at fault for 2 apiece. Askeaton played some lovely stuff but looked shaky at the back from set pieces. Glin on the otherhand were very dogged and never laid down and got the draw rather fortunately at the end. Both sides had other good chances during the game. Good to see Maurice Carrig coming off the bench for Askeaton. He looked a bit rusty but with a few games he,ll be a great addition for the remainder of the season. The pitch looked to be in good nick and I thought the game was enjoyable. Can't see Glin beating Shannonside this Sun. without their Tarbert contingent.

Desmond leauge Divison 1

Oldmill v Adare
Adare have yet to concede a goal in 2010 in the league
Old mill also unbeaten in the league this year so far.

After this game Old mill have Kileaney to play twice.

Actually what is the story with division 1 ? Killeaney will have 5 games in hand on Adare and Old Mill and 4 on Kildimo after Sunday as they are not playing for some reason. And they more than likely have a cup replay the following week. Surely thats an awful advantage to be playing teams late on with nothing to play for and only fielding half teams that aren't training ??
