Is there any official start date yet for next season? Newcastle a.f.c. any friendlies lined up buddygeary?

i think its the end of august??
pike would be a real challenge game for newcastle.
newcastle would hardly play any desmond sides in friendlies will they??
is scott hurley signing for the limerick 37 u/20's again??
anything about tony quaid did he sign for newcastle.
id say alot of clubs would be after him this season especially after him scoring 70 odd goals last season!!

[hot shot]

dont think many clubs in town would consider quaid to be fair,he's bit young and lot of those goals were in underage. all the same he is a quality player,can only get better you would think too as gets bit older and stronger.any truth of ncw losing few players next season? think if they lose 3 or 4 they wont have it as easy next year.

To tell you the truth i don't think newcastle are going to lose many players this season.their was a rumour about the two powers plus mark doherty going to pike rovers but that was only a rumour. but i honestly think that anthony o'donnell will sign for shannonside.newcastle could also have david o connor back he's a great player and a great addition to last years side.also newcastle will have donncadh woods to come into the team a great player for the future aswell as tony quaid and jamsie kelly.(even though jamsie kelly normally starts centre midfield) :)

[hot shot]

hard to know what anthony o donnell is doing but that should be known in next week or so, he would be good addition to shannonside. a few players will def be needed if the team wants to make a mark this season and compete. thats the thing with ncw anyway i guess they will always have a good selection of young players coming through, even if they lost one or two can cover those gaps. heard one of their full backs (Hanlon i think) going to kilcolman or someone so he can go on the sauce for the year?!! who have abbey got as manager this year?

[coast boy]

heard one of their full backs (Hanlon i think) going to kilcolman or someone so he can go on the sauce for the year?!!

Never rated him much anyway. Better full backs in the league.

[hot shot]

good few premier sides have/looking for new managers this season-ballingarry,abbey,rathkeale and ncw also.not much talk of ballingarry here,know they tend to fade off but as good as any team or club if can maintain challenge.
heard that abbey are back training dis week.most should be back next week or after too you would think,shannonside back next wk i believe

[coast boy]

Ya ballingarry can be good on the day but you could nearly say that about most of the premier sides. I know some teams are back training this week but most will be back next week i reckon. Newcastle had advertised for a new manager in the local paper, dunno did they get anyone yet. Any news on that Buddygeary?

ya anthony o donnell will be a great signing for shannonside appearantly some russell goalie who was playing for regional has gone to shannonside i dont think they need a goalie as they have chris hayes (ex limerick desmond youth goalie) and the goalie who played in goals agains newcastle in the semi final of the desmond cup. (forget his name)
abbeyfeale got some man from kilcornan.hes supposed to be bringing in few players too.(as he was a manager in the city before)
never heard about rathkeale or ballingarry.rathkeale always have a great youth squad so they should have up and coming players coming onto the A panel. i.e eoin o connor sean white seamus carroll etc
what would you think who will finish top 5 this season??
my prediction
1) Newcastle West
2) Abbeyfeale United
3) Glin Rovers
4) Shannonside
5) Rathkeale or Newcastle Rovers

[hot shot]

dont think chris hayes playing any ball this year he wants to concentrate on gaa.so russell will be a good addition in fairness. as for top 5 predictions, its hard to go against ncw for 1st at the moment but after that could end up in any order with teams mentioned above really. if abbey get act together and start strong will be there or there abouts, plus glin need to push on a bit now after cup win but dont know if they have what it takes to put in those type of performances they did in final v ncw over a full season.

That's true hot shot.
cant believe chris hayes is sticking to the gaa though very good goalie.
id say glin wont carry on from their end of season heroics.
alot of commitment and dedication is needed.
any friendly matches played yet by a desmond league side.???

[hot shot]

kavanagh plays with shannonside,played midfield last season but is good in goals aswell. played there in desmond cup semi final.

[Shannon Boy]

Ya he's not bad in goals.handy goalie if shannonside were caught for players in that position.
played well in the semi final of the cup against newcastle maybe a sloppy goal against him but shannonside didn't deserve to lose that game.
did any of ye hear any signings for desmond league clubs???

[Johnnie C]

Shannonside and Askeaton should be competitive in the Premier this season.
Hopefully some Desmond sides will make a serious impact in the Munster or FAI Junior Cups this season.

[Football Alien]

did shane o hanlon take over as manager of abbeyfeale? i hear shannonside are a good side and rathkeale always have a decent side, attitude and discipline seem to let them down at times

[Shannon Boy]

did shane o hanlon take over as manager of abbeyfeale? i hear shannonside are a good side and rathkeale always have a decent side, attitude and discipline seem to let them down at times
im not sure of his name but he was an ex limerick district club man!!
ya shannonside are very good since (foynes Borrigone shanagolden) have joined together.
rathkeale always have a good A team but they struggle on towards the end of the season!!
that was keith hartnetts original club before he left for pike rovers.
some good young quality players are coming up from the youths so i reckon rathkeale will be a tough team to beat this season.

[Shannon Boy]

shannonside will have a say in the premier this year top 4 finish i reckon!!
i thought it was st.itas who went up aswell??
ya hopefully other clubs besides newcastle make a serious impact.
newcastle have been able to reach the last 16 and last 8 of munster for some time now so hopefully the like of abbeyfeale rathkeale glin shannonside can follow their footsteps.

[hot shot]

dont know if the other teams have strong enough squads as ncw to progress to latter stages of m.j.c or fai. Rathkeale have lost dec nash to regional, and from what iv heard anthony o donnell staying at newcastle-supposedly they have got ex waterford fc man to take them over this season. wreckon league will be a better premier league this season and more competitive than that of last year and seasons gone by-

[sky blue]

ya shane took them over alright the refs are in for a hop when they here shane from the side line. rathkeale should have a good shot at this year alright wouldnt say there discipline left them down over the last couple of seasons though. is ray lynch signing for abbey?

ya dec nash will be a loss alright but i think they have a few new signings

[Johnnie C]

Tommy Lynch is apparantly the new Newcastle boss, quite a coup to get someone of his calibre.

[sky blue]

any premier desmond league team play any friendlies yet?
please post any results or transfers.
heard tossy butler is joining regional? is this true buddy geary.

[Shannon Boy]

Killeaney have signed back seanie lynch and gary kelly also they signed Glin Rovers' top scorer last year Darren Sheahan.
They will be very good signings might have a crack at the desmond cup semi finals at least.

well all i can say about killeaney is saw them play few times last season and to use the word 'brutal' to describe the way they play the game would be an understatement!!! think few more than these lads u mentioned above would be needed for that team to worry any half decent side or get near any silverwear nxt season. wreckon st ita's will be strong in div 1 nxt season,heard they lost midfielder mcauliffe to rathkeale tho.

[sky blue]

Ya have seamus carroll alright but he can not play til oct with world championships on. trying out a few players alright have played a few good matches so far. did shannonside sign anyone shannon boy:confused:

[Shannon Boy]

would be happy to finish in top 4 to be honest.as long as can pick up few wins early on should be ok with regard to getting stuck in lower half of league. are rathkeale anywhere near challenging for the league title again dis season??be nice to see side other than ncw win league dis year and think most involved with other clubs would agree there-would be thinking carrig and maybe askeaton/broadford to be ones to be near bottom

Its been a while now since we challenged for the league but hopefully this year we can. We are putting a nice squad together mixture of youth and experienced players. Ncw will be hard to beat this year again though. I think broadford will be the dark horse this season. they will take points off a lot of teams. Either Carrig, Askeaton or Ncw Rovers will go down id say. Did shannonside sign any players yet or is it top secret.:)

scott hurley is staying as he turned down limerick fc and pike rovers,tony quaid also turned down both of those teams..tony is a quality player but he is still underage for the youths this year....

[buddygeary23]

[sky blue]

[buddygeary23]

well im only saying what i heard from the player himself,and also i heard it from a few other people...he did turn down limerick fc thou..

[sky blue]

Is it true that daniel power is signining for liselton, tossy butler for regional and mark doherty for pike/regional? Heard it from a very good source today.:ball:

[old git]

so tommy got a job,he knows his stuff alright :rolleyes: ,just ask carew park,hill celtic,park rgs,shelbourne etc.funny that tommy has never got a job with any of limericks big clubs,still best of luck to him.

yeah fair point strange with a man with tommys experience none of the so called big clubs never approached him to manage :ball:

[buddygeary23]

tossie butler is most certainly joining regional...bad decision wen regionals players are all leaving....lisselton rovers are after daniel power but he doesnt know wat he is doing cos he is living in waterford for the next 8 weeks i think.....dont know either about mark doherty cos he is working and living in dublin....

[superhero]

yeah fair point strange with a man with tommys experience none of the so called big clubs never approached him to manage :ball:

maybe because he is the biggest mercenary in junior football, the man only has loyalty to one thing €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€

[hot shot]

not a lot of nice comments being left about newcastle's new gaffer tommy lynch on this thread and worse on other threads.plus on the matter of tossy butler going into town,he's entitled to head elsewhere and try win something in a different league if he wishes.if doherty and power leave this year,wreckon o donnell will too and will be the break up of that team-
