Limerick Desmond League 2010/11

[limkdesmond]

I think Abbeyfeale utd will beat rathkeale and Newcastle west will beat rathkeale b in the Desmond cup semi finals...

If that happens I think it will be very close game with Newcastle to win it only going by what was written in the observer few weeks ago that abbeyfeale haven't beaten Newcastle in quite a few games and newcastle are out of the league so maybe it will be the only silverware they will win this year..then again abbeyfeale might be going for a double..it will be a very close game who ever is in the final

[soccer8]

Glin Rovers V Kileaney Friday night both fighting to stay up and not to mention the rivalry between these two should be a cracker...sure to see some red cards aswell id say....

[mad4road]

limkdesmond what makes you think that abbeyfeale are going 2 beat Rathkeale?? Surely Rathkeale A must be the favourites considering that they have beaten both Ncw and abbey in the last fortnight..

[Draper]

Premier League: Broadford United:2 2:NewcastleWest

Goal of the game a brilliant Micheal Brosnan move finished off by Liam Shaughnessy. Draw a fair result tho.

[limkdesmond]

Apart from that what does everyone think the outcomes or scorelines this weekend in the Desmond Cup going to be?? I think abbeyfeale will win 2-1 after extra time and Newcastle to win 3-0..hopefully both games will be good and entertaining games

[last man back]

Fancy Rathkeale to bt abbey,there on a good run and obviously newcastlewest to win also. Glin v Askeaton is a massive game, if glin win the relegation battle will be wide open with anyone from the bottom 5 in trouble

[limkdesmond]

Were not playing tomorrow night sorry to disappoint you cause we didn't go to the semi finals in the Desmond cup..were playing Sunday but thanks for the wishes

[the 12 th man]

Removed posts are in the rubbish section,some posts are there because they quoted another post and not because of what they said themselves,less of the petty squabbling lads.

[Notaclue]

I give Rathkeale a great chance if they have a proper keeper tonight. Last Sunday they had Richie Shorten replaced late on by Sean O'Shea between the sticks, and between the two of them you wouldn't have a keeper, through no fault of their own. Peter O'Dea has also filled in there recently but he'd be a huge loss in defence. Roche will be a big loss for Abbeyfeale. Either way it should be a good game and best of luck to all involved.

[limkdesmond]

Ya best of luck to both teams tonight..it should be a cracking game.I think it will be a very close game with only a goal or maybe penalties only separating the sides..hopefully there will be a crowd at it to witness a great game..

[limkdesmond]

Is it true that rathkeale won 3-1 tonight?? Great result for the current Desmond cup champions..into another Desmond cup!! Anyone got any info from the game??

[Notaclue]

Yes it's true and thoroughly deserved. Awful first half with few chances created. 2nd half Rathkeale took over and Peter Nash scored after ball hit crossbar and post. Later Thomas Quilligan took a quick free and caught the Abbey keeper offguard. 2-0 to Rathkeale. With about 10 mins. left Abbeyfeale hit the post with Ollie Byrnes well beaten and from the ensuing corner Abbeyfeale scored with a great header. Game on with lots of time left. However a great pass from Damian Quaid sent substitute Steven Power away and after beating three defenders slotted the ball home. Great performance

[limkdesmond]

Sounds like a good game(well second half) so...was there many there to watch it??hope the league make a nice bit of money from both semi final games..

[Draper]

Rathkeale were miles better than Abbey last night and well worth their 2 goal winning margin.

Rathkeale B took the lead in the second desmond cup semi final and held this lead until half time but newcastle west have come and now lead 3 1

It finished 4-1 in the second semi final tonight..all rathkeale b in the first half and deserved their half time lead..all changed in the second half.newastle got 4 in the second half.looked like Tony Quaid was injured but ncw brought him on at half time and got two good goals.but was brought off again when ncw were 3-1 up.entertaining enough game

[Notaclue]

Does anybody know the date for the Desmond Cup Final this year I know they like to have it after the league is wrapped up will it be the same his year?

Set for Friday 27th May. Originally for the following night but the Champions League final on then. Rathkeale must be favourites on the semi's performances but who knows? Iheard that Glin were 4-0 up after 20 mins today against Askeaton who had just the bare 11. Some result and really opens up the relegation battle. I'm not going to hazard a guess who will go down but I reckon it won't be decided until the last ball has been kicked.

[limkdesmond]

Ya notaclue is right it's on Friday the 27th of may.was supposed to be on Saturday 28th but moved it cos of the champions league..

I don't agree with you there, Killeaney should beat Adare on Friday night and possibly get another on Sunday. Glin could also pick up a point over the weekend and I don't reckon either Askeaton or Adare are capable of getting too many points from their remaining games. So Glin and Killeaney could both survive at the expense of Askeaton and Adare Utd.
