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 ??
I see what you are saying alright it seems odd that they are being allowed to develop such a gap in games from the rest of the teams around them.
It would have to be said it cant be due to commintment to cup competions as Kildimo were in Munster junior last 16.
I think it kinda irrelvant do because as i said earlier on in preview of Adare v Old mill the weekend.
Killeaney have to play Old Mill twice
Kildimo once
Adare once
There four games that will define there season and there is no doubt that this division one race will go right down to the wire (even if kileaney arnt done until the middle of june).
I cant see any of them causing much of a substansive test in the premier when they go up next year.

There are lots of factors why teams fall behind others. Killeaney lost a home game a few weeks back due to snow when other games went ahead, I think Athea went the same way that day. Killeaney also had 3 games in the Reidy cup and 1 in the Desmond. PJ Hogan has only so many refs available to him on any Sunday, some not available, the Ladies league and only last Sunday there were two teams of 3 doing FAI games in Killarney and Limerick, so I don't think there's a whole lot that can be done without more refs. Killeaney will have a busy time of it for the rest of the season and I,m a firm believer that points in the bag are much better than games in hand. Let,s hope Div.1 goes all the way, last year was a yawn with Shannonside and Askeaton. What about Div.2? Kilcolman v Pallas this weekend and Rathkeale B with a lot of games in hand and like Killeaney with a cup match overdue. Kilcolman are flying it with their GAA players available for the next month or so, they will be looking to get as many points in while they're playing. On the other hand Pallas are playing some good football and are hard to beat. Maybe a draw but I'd go for home win.

Ah well every team deserves weekends off for occasions like theses, you can hardly expect them field a team.

Surley not. Who is showing it??????
9 point gap says the same thing I suppose.

D story with kileaney is d same as it has been for d last few years. They get games called off for no reason and pick up handy points at d end of d season off teams with nothing to play for. (suppose it has nothing to do with having someone on d committee!!!) Anyway it backfired on them last season when they got relegated and looks like d same this season.

Some teams will have to wait for Killeaney to catch up which could leave them without games for a long period. Is it not the case that all teams play their last 2 games on the same day. Definite advantage to the team playing every week I'd say.

Welcome to the forum Yorkshire rose.
No I actually can't see a long waiting period what id say will happen when the evenings get brighter is that kileaney will be fixtured for Friday night games and Sunday games which surely will be of no advantage to them only having a 2 day turn around period.
But someone has to pose the question how can a team only manage to play 1 game in the league in 2010 and it kind be all put down to bad weather they have an good field below in knockdown

Cups most probably, how many games have they actually had this year? They seemed to be down to play every week. All these league cups, reidy cups, desmond cups etc... all seem to come together at this time. They should go back to playing the league cup at the start of the season and get it out of the way, or at least keep it away from this time of year. If you are in a division below the premier you are involved an at least one more competition, so thats 6...any more?

Killeaney are in five different competitions – the division 1 league, division 1 league cup, desmond cup, reidy cup (they were knocked out here at the quarter final stage) and munster junior (they were knocked out of this in second round)

If you look at any team that go on to win league's in any division or at any level they dont win 4 and 5 nil every week. Broadford was always going to be a very tough game and Rathkeale knew that one goal would do as we have only 8 goals conceded in 11 matches. It was a shame really that John Lynch got sent off because it would have been a more free flowing game. What was Lynch thinking anyway THE 1?

League Cup was a great way to warm up for the new season for many clubs when played before the League actually started. I remember when this was a two legged competition.

Ya harsh alright all he done was punch the ball into the net from a corner kick. Sure that does not warrant a yellow card at all:p

He punched the ball into the net from a corner kick, did ref give a penalty for this and did ye score the only goal of the game from it?

A free kick was awarded to them, the ball was floated in and John punched it down into the net, yellow card.
5 mins later they got another free which was crossed in and he flicked it on with his hand, second yellow. He was a good bit out and didnt need to do win it at all. The goal came from play, the hand balls occured in the Rathkeale penalty box so just 2 free outs

Sketchy reports mabey someone else can elaborate, but:

Johnny Shannahan got 3 for Broadford and Newcastle were without Kelly and Quaid. Didnt get other scorers or what order the goals came in.

Shannonside had a goal disallowed in extra time and Rashers saved 2 penos.

Abbey were 2 nil down and pulled it back, Again didnt get the scorers. Rovers are tough at home

western gale

16/03/2010, 4:21 PM

Abbeyfeale were two up at half time away to Rovers, by all accounts the Rovers equalizer was a fantastic effort from distance.
Shannonside won on pens at home to Glin but in reality Shannonside played their opponents off the park and no way should the game have gone to extra time let alone pens, snow was brilliant for the homeside and gave the Glin defence a torrid time all thru.
Broadford led 3-0 at one stage in this game, Hurley got one of the goals for Newcastle
