Thats a pretty poor attitude for players to have, you would think players would want him to stay and put in the effort in trying to keep his place.

A few photos from my first match back for the new season - Askeaton v NCW.

Ray Foley had missed a penalty for Askeaton and Scott Hurley had scored for Newcastle West when I left near half time. Weather was terrible.

[Hairy Legs]

League hotting up now, shannonside drew 2 all away to carrig, still missing a few players they will shake up a few teams when they are at full strength. Abbeyfeale lost away to Broadford 1 nil, Think rathkeale hammered glin in rathkeale. Ncw rovers and ballingarry off. Weather disgusting everywhere. Behan is a decent manager he will get the best out of whatever panel he picks, could have a few surprises for everyone.......The lads are a loss but they have to drive on without them,.........nothing ventured nothing gained

[buddygeary23]

askeaton 1-2 newcastle west afc....good evenly contested game between both sides in terrible weather conditions...scott hurley and tony quaid (peno) and maurice pulled one back with a header from a free kick....

rathkeale 6-1 glin rovers....dunno who scored but rathkeale afc destroyed glin rovers..

carrig celtic 2-2 shannonside...doyle and o connor for carrig and m.behan for shannonside..seanie king supposed to have missed a sitter for carrig in dying mins

broadford 1-0 abbeyfeale united.... steven o shaughnessy for braodford in the 20th min..

ncw rovers v ballingarry called off

[hot shot]

glin must be in trouble this year,that was shocking result from yest especially when everyone was expecting them to push on from winning the cup last year.surprised to hear that abbey were defeated by broadford too but that looks like the way things will go in the league anyway this year!
carrig v shannonside was good game considering the brutal weather,shannonside were the better side in first half by long shot played some nice football but to be fair carrig they dug in after the break & could have taken all three pts by end of second half.
was glad to see ncw bring askeaton down a peg or two,there's been some talk coming out of them supposedly thinking they will win all around them in premier this year just because they won first two games,hopefully they can be brought down another peg next sunday when they meet shannonside!

[Hairy Legs]

Away to carrig is always a tough assignment. It will be very tough to predict week to week results this year. Newcastle will be happy with that win, Askeaton are a good side, should be a cracker between them and Shannonside next week. What about Broadford? nice result for them.
FAI and Munster junior draws today.

[Hairy Legs]

Thats absolute sh*t talk, all Askeaton want to do this year is stay up, thats what is on every players mind I can assure you of that.


They will do that easily, there is a nice side there and historically it has always been a strong soccer club, nice to see them back in the premier.
Both promoted teams this year a very welcome addition to the league.
Good competition was needed.

I Heard Maurice carrig has money on with people that Askeaton will actually win the Premier division:cool:

Goals for Rathkeale came from Gary Enright 2, Alan o Shea 1, Kenny Hogan 1, Robert Byrnes 1 & Thomas Walsh 1. Ref finished it up with 15 mins to go on a request from Glin Manager.

[kev08]

well anynews with power is he heading back to ncw

[Hairy Legs]

I couldn't see it happening????

[Ask me tom]

I Heard Maurice carrig has money on with people that Askeaton will actually win the Premier division:cool:


Why would Maurice have money on that when he won`t be here to collect? he is goin to Austrailia in 2 months time.

[buddygeary23]

heard nothing yet but he is still playing away with fairview...some of the fairview players and supporters dont like him for no reason....he scored yesterday in the 2-1 loss to janesboro

Yes was outstanding for fairview rangers against Janesboro the other day, settling in great daniel power is and will be a huge asset to fairview rangers as the season progresses and is liked by all players and supporters in the club who have already gotten to know him.

there are people here on this site just trying to unsettle things and stir things up.

do yer matches start at 11.30 because of the distance some teams have to travel or whats the story?

[buddygeary23]

ya most teams have to travel small distance plus the refs have to ref games in 1st to 3rd divison games at 2.30 also

[howsheref]

small distances?i thought different.only reason im asking is we had to go to charleville sunday morn to find out match was off.surely they should be in yer league.what club are you with?

[buddygeary23]

ya its a joke that ye have to travel to charleville..its bit far for a league game...it wud be kinda far for our league teams to go there for games as well...i play with newcastle west afc

[Baalbec United]

i've heard that Shountrade have added a few players this year and are certs to go up.Any truth in this?They could surprise Rathkeale in cup this year

[howsheref]

id love to know who shountrade are anyway

[buddygeary23]

Shauntrade is a small village called croagh.its between adare and rathkeale..they are a 3rd division team..There'll be no surprisin if they meet in the cup

[Hairy Legs]

Desmond league is for West limerick teams, Ballybrown to Athea or there abouts.
Teams like, Croom say, would be close and they could play in our division but Croom is regarded as south Limerick I think, even though its very close to Adare.
Charleville is a fair distance to travel from town to have the game off
Why do they not play in a Cork division??

[Hairy Legs]

Desmond league on its own..... then east, south and city all together
There must be some history thing there, anyone know?

First of all Rathkeale have to beat Pallas A and if they do meet Shountrade and are beaten there would be a better chance of Tongo going to the soccer world cup:eek:

[Shannon Boy]

pallas A will be no easy side to beat.they have improves an awful lot.

[Harry Lime]

Pics from Killeaney v St Itas in the first division this morning. Killeaney were 3-0 up when I left and had missed a penalty too. Sean Lynch was running the show in midfield for Killeaney.

[TigerBalm]

What happened wit d Broadford game this mornin? Another case of the GAA's influence on the league?!

[coast boy]

Did i hear right that Newcastle A lost to Newcastle Rovers this morning at home? If its true its first time they've lost in the league in over 20 games. League looks wide open at this stage!

[buddygeary23]

ya we (ncw a) lost to newcastle rovers this morning..we were missing 4 players due to senior footballers playing county quater final...rovers deserved to win it..

[coast boy]

ya we (ncw a) lost to newcastle rovers this morning..we were missing 4 players due to senior footballers playing county quater final...rovers deserved to win it..[/QUOTE]

Heard ye were all over them for first 20-25 minutes then they came into it. A good result for the league. Looks like ye'l have a few challengers this year for the title.

[Hairy Legs]

These are results and reports I have heard, the details might not be exact so forgive me if i am wrong:

Shannonside 1 Askeaton 1
Shannonside went ahead with about half an hour to go, Askeaton equalised close to full time.

Ballingarry 0 Rathkeale 0
Rathkeale were way better team, bombarded Ballingarry goal in the second half...Kenrick in goals for Ballingarry was outstanding, some of the saves he pulled off were seriously top drawer.

Glin 1 Abbeyfeale 1
Don't know any details from this match

[Ask me tom]

Shannonside 1-1 Askeaton

Close game without any side creating too many chance, Askeaton were the better side in the opening 45 but the second half was a very close affair, draw was a fair result.

Two points to make outside of the game:

1. Borrigone is a total kip of a place to play ball, with all the money that has been available through the lotto and grants over the last ten years should there not be a certain standard maintained on pitches and some action taken against clubs for very poor facilitys?

2. Liam O Connor = some ape , this guy just loves to be centre of attention

[Hairy Legs]

What happened wit d Broadford game this mornin? Another case of the GAA's influence on the league?!


No Referee to do it??????????????????????????????????????????????
Probably went in to watch them beat Newcastle in the Gaelic Grounds

[TigerBalm]

Can anyone put up the Desmond's Oscar Traynor squad?
