Limerick Desmond League 2011/12

[buddygeary23]

That's prob the right thing to do.fair play to the ref.that pitch is bad alright around winter time

[snafu]

NewcastleWest Rovers 6 Askeaton 1 (in Askeaton)

Why was this game played in Askeaton?

[Limk Soccer]

Newcastle West won today with out breaking sweat. A Glin Rovers B team that beat Ballingarry in the 3rd round of the cup last season (a Ballingarry team that went unbeaten in Div.1 last season) to getting hammered 8-1 at home to NCW and bottom of Div.3 big change from last season. Hard to look past Broadford this season in all honours but i fancy NCW to take the Desmond Cup. Little note to Glin Rovers on how well there field is after the past cuple of wet weeks, a very dry field..well done all!!

NewcastleWest Rovers 6 Askeaton 1 (in Askeaton)

Why was this game played in Askeaton?

Rovers lost home advantage for this game because the fixture had been called off twice at Rovers pitch!

[Draper]

Great day for Rovers beating Askeaton and Kildimo losing to Ballingarry. Whole thing looking a lot better for them now, hope and expect now that they will survive.

[buddygeary23]

Hard luck to broadford yesterday. I'd say all of Limerick Desmond people were shouting for ye... Hopefully ye can beat castleview this weekend

[buddygeary23]

Best of luck to broadford tomorrow.hopefully they can win and keep the desmond flag flying

[tricky]

Best of luck to broadford tomorrow, hope ye can get another step on. Locally shannonside v ncw should be interesting, with the home team surely putting up a better show than last time and kileaney v carrig should be really interesting in first div. Both teams need a win to keep pace with rockhill.

Shannonside v Newcastle is off today for some reason, anyone know why?

Good luck to Broadford today.

Last i heard it was

castleview 2-2 broadford utd

[churchtownroad]

Broadford wonn 3-2..no idea of goalscorers but they are home to fermoy in next round

[mastermind1]

Watch broadford and fermoy play Clare league teams earlier this year and Broadford look the better side. In saying that, Fermoy played a premier division side and Broadford against weaker first division side who have now folded

[Limk Soccer]

I thought that was a dry field as-well. Nothing short of a NCW win in this fixture and there will be a great run in between themselves and broadford for the league. A good few fixtures failed this weekend especially with the games in the Desmond Cup..any word when they will be played?
Killeany V Carrig was a pure top of the table clash with carrig missing some chances. If Killeaney can beat Rockhill at home no doubt they will be back in the premier division next season.

Great result for broadford utd yesterday in the munster junior cup.especially with carrick utd and pike rovers being knocked out.they could go all the way

[last man back]

Looking at the teams left in the MJC broadford could give it a fair crack. Will the squad be affected with the gaa season approaching draper ?

So are you saying so Micheal Reidy, Mick Clancy, Egan, Brosnan and co will not go GAA training or to GAA matches that will be starting in April

[buddygeary23]

[Draper]

So are you saying so Micheal Reidy, Mick Clancy, Egan, Brosnan and co will not go GAA training or to GAA matches that will be starting in April
I'm saying they started the season commited to the soccer team and that will not change before the end of the season.

[Leon]

I'm saying they started the season commited to the soccer team and that will not change before the end of the season.
I find that amazing considering ye had 2 players playing hurling last sunday instead of munster junior, Now are you still sure the GAA players will stay committed, if you are not sure just say so

[Hairy Legs]

What does it matter, they have a big enough squad and the league is practically their's now. By the time the GAA players are needed for championship it will be well and truley over

[Footy247]

I might be wrong Leon but I don't think the lads from broadford playing hurling last Sunday are playing with broadford A,think they play with the B team!!!

Is abbey v ncw changed to fri or sat nite


I heard Friday night at 7:30 can anyone confirm this? should be a good cup game and worth a look....both sides out of league so Desmond Cup will be top priority to both....have ncw lost more players???

[last man back]

Have NCW played under lights in abbey before, i remember being at the agm a few years back and abbey proposed all there home games should be played under lights. The delegates from NCW were fairly vocal against the motion saying it would give abbey an advantage. The meeting actually got fairly heated !

I remember that AGM, they were the main reason it was rejected imo, but I suppose time is a healer.Should be a decent game, Abbey to go through only just.

[southern kid]

I heard kick off is 8, should be worth a look alright especially with the state of the abbey boys hair!!All for a good cause though i believe.Ncw to go through on pens.

Charge a small few quid at the gate tonight and your referees expences for the whole weekend for the club will be covered....

[buddygeary23]

Abbey 4-4 ncw

Extra time being played

[western gale]

Abbey won 5-4 on pens

[buddygeary23]

Abbey win 5-4 on penalties..newcastle had a man sent off for nothing..a joke of a call by the ref..ncw went down 2-0.first goal 5yards offside that everyone could see but the referee didnt see.ncw went up 4-2 and then a abbey player back flicked a ball off a ncw player and sent him off.not even a yellow never mind a red card..abbey scored the penalty and then scored again with a break through..the ref should really look at himself after that game..as from the words from the same ref as last week "i cant keep up with the play" he said..congrats to abbey an best of luck to them in the next round

[southern kid]

/I was at that game last night as a neutral and thats very harsh on the ref,from wat i saw from where i was standing was aaron geary played the abbey striker sheehy on for 1st goal,yer keeper made a total mess of the 2nd goal to put them 2 up.Great response from ncw though to come back an go from 2 down to 4-2 up,ye played really well for them 30 mins.I agree that it was a harsh sending off as keeper was behind player who handled the ball. A great game of football by 2 decent team and as a spectator its a great way to spend a friday night,a pity more team dont avail of lights.

[buddygeary23]

You must have been standing in a very bad position then southern kid as he was clearly offside..there was a few people in the box at the sending off time but everyone at the match could see that it wasnt even a yellow card never mind a red card but whether or not it was a penalty i dunno.
