Broadford Utd vs Newcastle Rovers
Dingle vs Ballingarry
Newcastle Afc vs Avenue
Tralee Dynamos vs Shannonside Fc


In my opinion I think everyone has a realisitc chance of making the open draw.... it would be brilliant to have 4 Desmond teams in the open draw does anyone know if that would be a first.....think Broadford should beat Rovers but you never know in Cup football....Dingle only beat Adare 1-0....NCW have home advantage and i dont think Dynamos are as strong as previous years....

[tricky]

I would have to agree with u soccer8, all teams have great chance, I would say broadford have to be favorites in the local match.

Tralee Dynamos are playing in the 3rd or 4th division in the kerry league as the previous years there best players were all with the A Championship side,however they are getting most if not all of them players back so I sense they will b very strong in the coming weeks and will b very difficult to beat in this competition!!

[southern kid]

How is bob boyce getting on since that horrible challenge,i hope that player who made challenge is been dealt with as there is no place in the game for that. How do ye think the oscar traynor lads will get on thurs nite?what team will they pick?i heard they won very comfortable in challenge this wk,hopefully they will get the support they deserve from all players an supporters.

[Have It]

Best wishes to Bob Boyce. Hard to believe a guy can be that malicious and then to not even have the balls to admit the crime or apologise. At the end of the day its a game and we all have to get up the following morning. Ban him for life !

At the end of the day its a game and we all have to get up the following morning. Ban him for life !Thanks Have it, and Southern Kid too, Bob is fine, didnt get the infection we were concerned about him possibly getting and the Doctors seem to have done a good job patching him up with no complications. As for the culprit, thats in the hands of the FAI now.

Umbro Oscar Traynor Cup 2nd Leg
Desmond League (1) v Kerry District League (3)
Venue, Cloonreask
Kick Off, 8.00pm
im going for a 2-0 home win......if he picks the right team...... are goin to get out and support your on league Thursday night lads???

[tricky]

Yeah should be a good game with our lads having to go for it. Hopefully they will play players in their natural positions this as that seemed to be the problem at the last game. Good win for broadford at weekend again, bit of a shock shannonside only getting a point. Good win for Carrig v kileaney, heard there was some heated scenes with the league secretary not behaving in a sporting manner.

Now theres a surprise!!

[mickeyog]

Whats the betting Kileaney will only play about 3 league matches between now and May and then have a run of fixtures against teams who have nothing to play for.. He wont be happy about Sunday's result

[tricky]

Best of luck to the lads tonight, hoping for 2 0. Let's hope the managers set the team up in a good attacking manner and why not just go for it. Nothing to lose

[Aldo]

Is the Oscar Traynor Match going ahead ? , A lot of rain has fallen in Kerry in last 12 Hours. Don't wanna make the journey if it doesn't go ahead.

He made a show of himself last week, no bit of dignity at all.
Why is he even allowed to be involved in a team? Surely there is a big conflict of interest

[Have It]

How did the boys get on tonight, couldn't make it with work?

[tricky]

Lost 1 0. Same team started as in Kerry, couple of subs made alright who played ok. 0 0 at half time gave away soft goal about 15 mins in second half

[Have It]

Thanks Pal

[tricky]

Any views on Oscar traynor last nite, I thought the team should have been set up with more attack in mind from outset, get early goal and see what would happen. That never happened, while they had a couple of chances before half time, never looked like taking the game

[mastermind1]

Hi lads, any info on rathkeale youths? Our youths are playing them tommorow in munster youths cup.

[BlueAndWhite]

He is a disgrace if you ask me...

Was at the game on Thursday night and from a Kerry supporter I was surprised at how little the home team created, kerry Kepper only made two saves in 90 minutes, a few other shotes were blocked by defenders but two on target was poor. Expected esmond league to go at kerry with a 433 formation but they played 442 from start to finish. Kerry went with the intention of not conceeding and it worked for them. Kerry looked like they never got out of first gear and deserved to win the tie over two legs.

[tricky]

Totally agree, I can't understand why the des league didn't just go for it from the start as they had nothing to lose. Fair play to Kerry though and best of luck in next round

The last few seasons have been poor and we have not been competitive, looking at the results in the FAI, Desmond teams are ahead of Kerry teams individually, so should this not carry on to the Oscar Traynor sides? It was 4 - 1 over the2 legs which is a bit if a hiding. IMO there needs to be a manager who is currently not involved with a club and attends games within the league regularly,This has not been the case over the last couple of seasons and it has to be addressed.The commette need to start looking for next seasons manager now and take this competition seriously again!

I agree with aldo..Desmond should have gone for it with playing 4-3-3 formation..well done to all the players that turned up to represent the league..shame on the players that didn't turn up and didn't want to play for their league..but then again they probably had good reasons..

Bit of a shock with NCW only drawing 2 - 2, with ballingarry down to 10 men for half the game. Broadford are still flying it. Best of luck to all desmond league sides in FAI this weekend, hope they all come out the right side.

Its going to be very close this year Broadford being the most consistant at the moment....Glin and Ballingarry will be tough teams to beat also and could take more points off the top teams...Shannonside dropped points again this wekend

Best of luck in the FAI Junior cup this wekend....

NCW will not be as strong as the last few seasons,they have lost 3/4 players from their squad.Shanahan up front is their main threat.They will still be decent and a good test for ye.

[buddygeary23]

We have lost 3 players this year but 2 of those players were not playing when we played avenue utd 2 years ago..it was a good game 2 years ago played out in lees road (I think it's called that) and they were a sound bunch of lads who looked after us with grub afterwards in a pub..it should be a good game this weekend

Broadford Utd v Innisvilla FC or Kilumney Utd
Tralee Dyn or Shannonside FC v Howth Celtic or Sheriff YC
Moneygall FC or Bridge Utd v Dingle Bay FC or Ballingarry FC

[tricky]

Great incentive to do well in fai for des league sides this weekend with potential home draws in next round, with the exception of ballingarry who would have a fair trip

[buddygeary23]

Great draw for the Desmond sides if they come through this weekends fixtures...all home draw except ballingarry who would be away in Tipperary..ncw and shannonside both got great teams in castlebar celtic and sheriff who should progress to the 5th round..sheriff one of te favourites and castlebar always a good side..dunno anything about the teams broadford got

I think your jumping the gun a bit here.I dont even think Shannonside will get past Dynamos nevermind Sherriff.

[buddygeary23]

Your right there realcelt. Shannonside beaten 2-0 against Tralee dynamos..Newcastle beat Avenue United 4-2 on penalties after drawing 3-3..Keith Power scored a screamer.avenue levelled..Newcastle back in the lead after a o.g and avenue got two goals but Tony Quaid scored for ncw..power,Quaid,Scott Hurley and Noel Murphy scored the penalties for ncw and Noel Murphy saved avenues 3rd and 4th penalties..
