Limerick Desmond League 2009/10

[Hairy Legs]

Ya i have seen Kilareney Celtic before. They are poor enough but I'm not sure whether Shannonside would be good enough to beat them but they def have a chance. Killarney would only be a mid to bottom team in Desmond league. All the good players play for the other club in Killarney

Ye i knew one team in Killarney were alot better than the other but wasn't sure which one, its Athletic so that put rathkeale out of the FAI or Munster a couple of years ago 4 nil....looked a good side.
Avenue are walking away with the clare league at the moment so they will be strong. Rineanna are second. Bridge Celtic I think are o'Briens bridge and they won the clare premier 3 or 4 seasons ago im sure. Dont know anything about cratloe

I think one of the Broadford boys is getting married on Saturday so I couldnt see them putting up much of a challenge. As for Bridge Celtic, I'm fairly sure that its a GAA stronghold with lads who play soccer in the winter to stay fit. We played them a few years ago and the had a few Clare hurlers playing

hi lads just wondering what colours glin wear and where there pitch is located thanks

[buddygeary23]

ya a fella from broadford bob boyce is getting married tomoro (friday) in cork so dunno will broadford have a good team on sunday..glin play in an estate..cant remember the name but ask someone in the town...they wearing black and red..

[Hairy Legs]

hi lads just wondering what colours glin wear and where there pitch is located thanks

drive out the dock road and just keep going straight along the coast road through mungret, foynes etc...for about 30 miles, when you get to glin turn left into the village, go about half way up the street and take the left turn on the bend, follow that road up for about 500 yards and turn in right to a small estate, the pitch is there, you will see the sign "welcome to hell" ha ha

Are you getting your Killarney's mixed up? Celtic are traditionally the stronger side to my knowledge. Unlless Athletic have come good in last year as Celtic were always the Top Dogs down Killarney way and would be serious title contenders in the Desmond league if the plates moved and their geography changed!

I see Killarney won 1 nil. What was game like & are Killarney a good side? How do Shannonside rank in the Desmond league?

[avenueC]

avenue vs ncw

very good competitive game could have gone either way. both sides played ball and had chances a plenty, clean game too no dirt.
avenue missed their regular keeper centre half an d centre midfielder but ncw are a good team and no complaints.

Shannonside are a good side promised alot coming up this year but didnt have the best of stars, football etc...should finish strong though.
Thought they would have won that one yesterday

[Hairy Legs]

who scored for ncw? early or late?
Good win for rovers too.

They must be handy they beat Askeaton by 4 goals. Heard Avenue have lost a lot of players this year.

dont know about the team but they have 2 nice fields 1 bad downfall is the dressing areas.

[Ask me tom]

They must be handy they beat Askeaton by 4 goals. Heard Avenue have lost a lot of players this year.

Lifford beat Askeaton 3-2, they do not like crosses being delivered into the box. They seemed to play a long ball very narrow with 2 big centre forwards. I would say NCW will have too much for them.

[sky blue]

O right taught it was more ask me tom. Sorry about that kid!! Ncw look to be hitting form again don't they. Askeaton must be considered favourites for the league at this point of the season.

[Ask me tom]

Yea great win for NCW against Avenue last week. I`d still say Rathkeale for the league though, the loss of Moss Carrig and Rob Whelan(leaving for Oz on Monday) will be too much for Askeaton to keep their title charge goin Like I`ve said before survival in the prem and a nice cup run would do Askeaton fine.

[limerickblue]

Anyone seen kildimo this year, was talking one there players during the week he said they plan on giving abbeyfeale a shock in the cup tommorow, can't be going bad this year sitting on 15 point after 7 games.
the played us in the leauge in asketon last year beat us 2-1 ,i think once they are up for a game not many teams will beat them, seem like a tight knit bunch

They have a chance because they are at home, weren`t much of a footballing side last year but were fairly big and physical. With Abbeyfeale being finished with the football now they should have too much for Kildimo although like I said, on that pitch its a bit of a lottery.

In all fairness to kildimo, they played better against us in asketon on a good field in asketon than they did in kildimo against us last year. in all fainess anybody who saw us play against kildimo in asketon last year wouldn't know who finished seecond in the leage.they batterd us and that coming from a proud asketon player

Askeaton were terrible that day alright but it was a lot more to do with Askeaton being bad than Kildimo being good.

[Harry Lime]

A few pics from that Kildimo v Abbeyfeale game this morning. Had to get away at half time.. 0-0 at that stage.

[limerickblue]

well looks like my prediction was true, and kildimo have proved that they have no reason to fear any premier side apart from newcastle now.hopefully they can maintain there form and join us in the premier next season.

Nice pitcures harry, how did mcmahon play while you where there for the first half, he is very fast and never stops running i used hate marking him.

[Harry Lime]

how did mcmahon play
First time I've seen him play, I was impressed with him. He played in front of the back 4. Covered a lot of ground and put in plenty of tackles.

Thanks always was a talented player from your descreption he has settled into a definsive midfielder role,i used remember him as a rampant winger,always putting his body on the line.
do you attend one desmond game every weekend harry

Were they not beaten by a divison 3 side less than a month ago in the Reidy cup. I dont see that hapening to too many premier division teams

[limerickblue]

ya had a good giggle when i heard this myself but they lost on penalties just wernt able convert any chances on the day apparantly.never threatned by the team they were playing.

How are balingary doing this year lads.??

[The1]

Ballingarry are certs for relegation I'd say. A good team who are capable of challenging but they are crippled with injuries at the moment. They have lost five out of their first seven. Just as a matter of interest, what was the score after extra team in that Kildimo match against that Division 3 team

[Hairy Legs]

I think it was nil all, It can happen any team on any day I suppose they would probably hammer them tomorrow if they met. They are a good cup side, Kildimo, could have won the desmond cup year before last, semi the year before, tough side on the day

They are a half decent cup side if they are drawn at home to play in that farce of a pitch. Other than that they are rubbish. At least the promoted sides Askeaton and Shannonside are good footballing teams that have something to offer to the premier division, kildimo have nothing but rubbish football to give

i think that statement is false and is an insult to kildimo as a footballing side, if you ever saw them play away from home, you would see they play better.
thats my own expierence.

They can mix it and thats why they do so well in cups. You cant play lovely football all the time especially on bad pitches and even the best teams lump it out when they have to. They have some lovely footballers in max, the hogans and young deegan. Rubbish is a ridiculous statement -but you are getting a reaction which keeps the thread interesting so keep up the good work.
