Very bad draw. How come so many have a bye from the first. I can remember the last few years it was only a few teams.
3 top flight teams only drawn out and 7 with byes. Something ain't right there

Ya thats funny how it worked out alright. 17 byes is an awful lot and 7 of them from the prem. Anyone at it ?

It's simply down to the no. of teams. As there are 47 teams the only way to get it to 32 is for 15 first round games and 17 byes.
Any other way would necessitate byes in later rounds. It's unfortunate for the 15 teams that go out in round 1. As regards only 3
Premier sides being involved, there's no conspiracy at work here.... just plain old fashioned luck.

Would 17 ties in a preliminary round not have cut it to 32 teams without giving ANY byes?

Not too sure the conspiracy theory is too sound. Kinda hard to fix the draw when so many clubs are represented in the room, also in a competition with 47 teams if you play 17 games in a preliminary round it would result in 17 winners + still leave 13 with a bye into round 1, add the 17 winners and the 13 byes and thats 30 which would then need another round with Byes to get it to 16. I reakon its always better to get all the byes out of the way early and then its just a straight draw every round.

Was at Kilarney Celtic v. Shamrock Rovers last night in Kilarney. Best junior facilities I have ever seen. Fantastic dressing rooms/meeting rooms, astro turf, 2 pitches, railed off, 300 allseater stand, 200 allseater stand, 4 dugouts, all to the highest standard. And do you know what? Desmond league clubs have as much ambition, when you compare how far Desmond league clubs have come compared to how they were 20 years ago you see how far they have come and how far they will go. The future is bright.

You have spent the last 6 months saying the future is bleak because of the condition of the youth league, You really do talk some rubbish

The Youth League IS a shambles Leon, and Desmond League club's facilities HAVE improved 10 fold in the past 10 years Leon. Which one of theses statments are rubbish to you? Forgive me for putting a positive slant on things while at the same time agknowledging the faults and issues that need attention.

Just want to complement the groundstaff at Athea,Granagh,Breska,Rockhill and Carrig for having their fields playable last weekend, i was surprised any games went ahead and none of those clubs apart from maybe Athea would be renowned for having an excellent fields.... No prem division games went ahead....
anyway

Desmond cup next weekend, will there be any upsets...
Plus rovers vs NCW should be a cracker

Adare and NCW have two of the poorest fields in the Desmond League.The league are not giving themselves much chance of any progress being made in the Premier.
Surely they will force Adare to play the game in the Manor grounds ? Another thing has to happen is the Clounreusk pitch be made available for night matchs to allow teams to catch up on league games. Why not a Wednesday night ?

All the league cup games should be played in Clounreask on week nights to free up Sundays for league & Desmond Cup games, as a neutral venue no team would have an advantage. Each division would only take 9 nights to finish!Would also give sides that don't usually play under lights a chance to do so.

Not a bad idea BoyBlue. I just hope somebody from the league may read this site and get a few ideas or maybe they have a few similar ideas.Im not given out about the league committee.I think they do a great job,its their own free time they give up and with out them there would be no league.
I just think extraordinary things need to happen this year with the extraordinary weather we have got since the season began.

what kind of a set up do Rockhill have and why dont Adare just move to the manor grounds perminently?

Rockhill play behind the school in Buree very tight pitch and hard to beat at home.In relation to Adare I spoke to a member of there club lately and asked the same question.
It seems they have to rent the Manor Grounds and book it in advance if they want to use it.

Good points made by boyblue and el nino in regards to league cups I totally agree.
I also think the league committee need to be more pro active next season as regards fixtures. I recall a committee member saying at the AGM this year that hopefully the weather wont be as bad this season.
HOPE will get us nowhere they need to look at starting the season earlier and get 6 or 7 rounds of the league played before national cups begin

They have got to follow the lead of the city league. Teams playing twice a week at the start of the season for maybe a month. They tend to do it in April/May but it puts pressure on clubs and players when its unexpected. Do it at the start and it also helps teams get fit and better prepared for the FAI and munster junior

NCW Rovers 3 NCW 5. Great game, NCW Rovers probably deserved something from the game but NCW took their chances. Sheehy in goals was brilliant throughout and that tells it's own story made 3 outstanding saves. Rovers also hit the post twice. NCW penalty to make it 1 - 1 was a very poor decision by the referee. Butler & Doherty have made a big difference to NCW and both played very well.Scorers were Joyce 2 & Collins (NCW Rovers) - Power,Quaid,Butler,Doherty & Shanahan (NCW).
