Limerick Desmond League 2009/10

[Notaclue]

Apologies The1 you were correct...... thaught the buddygeary said that he was still in charge after last sunday.......Jason Cummins and phillip dowling if thats correct things dont look so bright for ncw anymore.......rathkeale for the league id say......

Tough game on Sunday away to Broadford. A win for Broadford would give NCW a big shout as they have Rathkeale at home later on.
Wouldn't rule out NCW yet even though they aren't firing on all cylinders at the moment.

Lads any views on next Saturday nights Reidy Cup Final? Could it go to penalties?

I think Athea will win in 90mins, so you will have plenty time for a pint afterwards. Athea look stronger throughout but Glantine will be tough. 1-0 maybe!!!!

[clearly]

Someone said Broadford have started charging €3 admission for A team games, can someone confirm this is true? If it is I say hats off to Broadford theyre dead right, about time Desmond league clubs started selling their product rather than giving it away. I say every Premier division club should do it. Great set up they have in Broadford too. Hats off to them...

Does anyone know how promotion from Div.3 work this year? Do the top of both groups go up? Do the winners
of the semifinals go up? Why don't the clubs know for certain what's happening..... 'cos' the players involved certainly don't know.

[Notaclue]

I know this is not the correct forum but anybody got the lowdown on the ladies finals today? These women are tremendous for their commitment and I'd love to have been in Clounreask today but for other commitments. Fair play to a league for doing things right and everybody involved deserves great credit.

No it will be down to the ref on Sunday morning id say. Looking like a lot of teams will be playing Friday night and Sunday football in a couple of weeks time.

There wont be any more blanket cancellations from now on, league is way behind and clubs will just have to get on with it, situation demands it and while it may noy not be ideal we must live with it. Some clubs unfortunately will be affected more than most with possible games on Fridays and Sundays

Fair play to bally rovers, a fine pitch and dressing rooms that their club can be rightly proud of. And of course if the day is bad you will often get a cuppa to warm you up at half time. Hats off to them http://foot.ie/images/icons/icon14.gif

Winners of semi finals are promoted, I'm 100% sure

Winners of semi finals are promoted, I'm 100% sure
The winners of Div 3A and Div 3B are promoted and these two teams will playoff for the Div 3 League title. The runners up in each section do not get promoted, I'm 100% certain on this

Well I have spoken to players and officials from two of the clubs, 1 of which will win their section and the other which is battling for second and they all believe that there will be a format that involves semi finals. It needs to be clarified alright.

I was at the Abbey Desmond cup game last Sunday against Ballingarry and there was no charge. But there should have, their facilities are superb, dont give your facilities away Abbey, sell it...

No Rathkeale don't charge but they should i have been saying it for year's

[clearly]

Tell 'em SKY BLUE, tell Rthkeale to start charging, I find you actualy get more people attending matches and they appreciate and respect it more when they pay even though its only €3
