I think with the squad they have whoever they put out will make things tough for villa but its all on the day so you never no what might happen hopefully it'l be an entertaining game with plenty of goals.

villa beat celtic 2-1!

[tipp man]

Really good game in Cashel tonight.

[stelling]

Thank God Villa won because if that decision not to give the penalty at 1-1 had of cost them the game it would have been an absolute disgrace,still bad for the game that the ref (and linesman who flagged to inform the ref of a sub wearing no top at the other side of the field, despite the fact that there was a 4th official on that side and it was nothing to do with the linesman anyway, yet couldnt flag for the easiest decision of his career on his side?) Special mention to the Villa goalkeeper, fantastic display

[complexman]

Super game. Credit to both sides on serving up a top game. Well done Peake. Celtic will hopefully pick it up for Munster final

[qwertyabu]

anyone have any ides on who the new saints manager should be or will be......

[the wombat]

Unbelievable stuff last night from peake. Very entertaining stuff. Celtic had a very strong team out and dominated but some of the committment and last ditch stuff from all villa players, especially the young keeper was great to see. Well done to both teams on the best cup final i have been to in years

[Roberto]

Well done and congrats to Villa

Aidan Ryan.no brainer.

Excellent game last night.. Celtic reminded me of Arsenal, pass,pass,pass... but no penetration... Villa got maybe 3/4 chances in the game, and scored two of them.

Andrew Cosgraves through ball for the Celtic equaliser was sublime, as was O Hara's finish. Only thing O Hara did all night, but a goal scorer supreme. Kennedy wasted at least two chances to score for Celtic and offered nothing in general play.

As for the penalty claim by Peake, absolute stonewall penalty, no question. Very disappointed with the linesman, was right in line, and had to make the call. Peake would have been very very bitter had they lost after not getting that one.

Serious game by Peakes Noel Kent, played up front all night by himself, and was still full of running wen pulled down for the penalty.

Overall, great game to watch.. well done Peake

Excellent report. What was attendance like at game.

Delighted for peake to get the win , superb stuff. 4 tsdl medals for some of there young players in one season is great start to their football careers, hopefully peake can build on this for next season

[biglad101]

Congrats to Villa was deserved with the effort they put in some great defending and there keeper pulled off some great saves especially the one in the 1st half where he got across to clear off the line brilliant. Celtic had a few chances just wouldn go in hit the bar 3r4 times just wasn to be hopefully they can regroup and do the business next sunday im sure the whole TSDL will be behind them.

I would consider being compared to Arsenal a compliment in fact. No penetration? They hit the woodwork four times, had two cleared off the line and have scored over 100 goals this season. No lack of penetration there. As they say it only takes a second to score. Patience, my boy ;)

Comparison to Arsenal was an observation, not necessarily an insult.. in fact not an insult in any way at all. However, like so many Arsenal games over the past few years, and both of this years Champion's League semi finals, the team with most possession lost the game.

It should have been instructive to Celtic, that the one goal they did score was a direct ball over the top of the defence which O Hara pounced on, and not the numerous intricate short passing movements in front of the Villa defence which were gobbled up by the two excellent centre halfs.

As for scoring 100 goals a season.. makes no odds at all.. they didn't score the one or two they needed on Thursday night. It was a classic comparison of styles to be honest, and kept the crowd interested right up to the final kick of the ball, which is all a fan can ask for, and as a nuetral at the game, I got value for money for my fiver. I would have preferred to see Celtic win, but the support for the underdog in Villa had me almost sneakily rooting for them in the end.


I do hope Celtic win the Munster Junior game Sunday.. but also hope they have a Plan B if Plan A runs up against the same kind of defence that it did on Thursday night.


On other matters, there was a fine crowd at the game.. but a muted athmosphere I thought. I also heard a few people complaining about the state of the pitch, which I thought was unfair after the cold winter snap... junior clubs can't make grass grow lads. If Cashel had a better solution to the parking problem, and better access to the pitch, it's well placed to host lots of games like the one Thursday evening.

[the wombat]

i think to say that celtics problems are upfront is totally wrong. they didnt have much luck on thursday night and villa defended brilliantly but celtic created numerous chances. the real problem is that celtic totally dominated both posession and territory and still managed to concede twice. their real problems are at the back as they will always give up chances. i hope they sort this out for next week because as soon as they do they will be winning the provincial and maybe national trophies. they are lethal going forward, as good as anyone in the country.

[biglad101]

Any final thoughts on how the season went? Best of luck to peake youths also has been a great season for them joe delauny cup would round it off nicely.

[balls]

Decent season all in. Peake youths being the most positive news. Great season for them with another final to come. The six nil victory over town last week was a major result. At junior level I suppose Cahir Park had best season , but the big test for them is breaking into top 3 or 4 in premier division next season. Well done to Celtic also on 1st league title . Is there a refs awArd night this year . Any word on it ?

[biglad101]

Any result from the peake youths game? Cahir had a great season if they can keep there team together and add a few more they could challenge in the top half of the premier. Dunno about the refs awards night they usually have something up on the tsdl website fairly soon after the season end, maybe they'l have something up next week.

Nenagh 8 Peake Villa 2

[biglad101]

8-2 thats a fair beating still take nothing away from villa still a great season for them. Oscar traynor today doesn seem to be much interest from a lot of players anymore which I find strange but im sure everyone has there own reasons best of luck to them anyway.

[footballfanatic]

went to the nenagh peake game, nenagh all over villa in first 25min and lookin like a rout after they scored early...but villa equalised and all of a sudden nenagh were gone very flat and i felt villa could be onto something here. nenagh got another just before half time and by god twas some goal, started with the keeper, classy passing and 1-2's the whole way up they walked it into the net. like barca in full flow.
second half was complete 1 way nenagh were top class all over. number 8 very good and the striker too has some strike of a ball. all very good to be fair.....

but.....i dont know why but they resorted to diving even though they were 7-2 to up at the time, couldnt understand, all the people around me were calling it embarressing and i had to agree. 2 of em booked for it, what was the point? from there on i wished for a villa man to try and cut one of em in half but truthfully just couldnt get close enough to a classy nenagh team.
villa should be strong next year in youths, think 10 out of the starting 11 are young enough next year.

[West Hammer]

Season officially over now with the TSDL losing 0 - 1 (aet) to the Inishowen League.

[complexman]

Best of luck to Cahir this weekend. The club are hosting the SFAI finals. Heard Ger Halley on radio this evening. Well done also to Martin Blossom Quinlivan who did a great job covering football this season. Tipp FM soccer coverage was much better this season. Lets hope it continues and that Blossom continues. Looks like he will as Ronan Quirke referred to him as the stations Soccer Correspondent.

[Tyler Durden]

Yeah it wasn't a bad season in TSDL this year. Great to see somebody different winning the league in Clonmel Celtic. Pity they didn't add another cup after been in 2 finals but they will learn form their mistakes and this year was a step forward in the right direction. Town had good end to season bu they were not playing against much in later stages of league. Cahir should make the league interesting next year if they add one or two players, be hard to beat away from home. Old Bridge had a very good season also finishing 4th, for a club that nearly folded it was a great season but they could get 2nd season syndrome next year and struggle. Roll on August.

[biglad101]

Anyone at the oscar traynor game? Did they have a strong team?

[biglad101]

Doesnt look like there'l be a ref's awards night this year are the purse strings been tightened. Anyone know?

Shame really as was always a good night out. My 3 premier nominations would be Kevin waters Celtic, Richie Ryan saints and probably graham Doyle aswell of Celtic , don't think any other prem team had a stand out player bar maybe young Flynn with town

[West Hammer]

We have not had an awards night for a couple of seasons now. The refs said they got to much hassle over nominations and to little support from TSDL.

[biglad101]

Yea its a real shame but if they not getting the support from the tsdl can understand them deciding not to run it anymore. Think evan maguire would be in the top 3 no he got injured but he was playing very well up until then. Roll on august an we get back into it.

[complexman]

Well done to Clonmel town on a great night last Friday night. Fitting tribute and celebration of a great Club.

Hey lads,

Or, if anyone can help us update the club / squad info for the TSDL teams please give us a shout.
Thanks!

[Mikebasset087]

All the money the TSDL have and they can't even have an awards night for the clubs and players apparently over €200,000 in there bank account. They are a Joke!

[biglad101]

Yea tis a joke alright think its down to the refs to organise it tho, was there one last year? Any word on who's taking over Michaels.

[ponyobrien]

The awards were always organised by the referees, but Tommy Lewis upset them so they gave up doing it.

[biglad101]

Who hasnt he upset. Would be nice for teams and players to be rewarded for tough seasons its not the end of the world tho. Any transfer rumours yet?

[Mikebasset087]

Michaels apparently on that hunt for a new keeper I hear they have approached a young lad from cahir park Alan Wall I think not sure though.

Also heard Evan Maguire has been approached by Waterford United!

[West Hammer]

Heard the lad has no intension of leaving Cahir, why would he, promoted to Premier with Cahir and Foxy Grace will get in a few new faces you can be sure and they have a very good youth squad from last season to pull from, Where as Saints have an aging squad, with an average at best youth panel. Limerick used to be Saints old pulling ground for players but with teams in Limerick offering silly money for the best players to sign, Saints will have to look elsewhere.

[Mikebasset087]

A Fair point. But St Michaels will always be knocking about near the top with our top class facility's etc it would be hard for any young lad not to be tempted to venture and compete in the later stages of the Munster junior cup and FAI junior cup!

[biglad101]

Any news on a new manager yet heard its one of the two involved with the oscar traynor any truth in it?

[kalyani]

not sure how true it is but yes heard over weekend that it's Jason Purcell and Stewart Fitzgerald taking over St Michaels next season, both were managers of Fairview in Limerick when won FAI & Munster Junior few years back.

[biglad101]

Sounds like a good appointment so if its true.Can only be good for the league cant wait for it to start up again any transfer rumours floating around?

[Mikebasset087]

Any transfer rumours going about lads!
Jason Purcell manager at St Michaels very good appointment.

[balls]

Shane Murphy and Michael Ivor's signed for town

[Mikebasset087]

Apparently Cahir Goalkeeper signing for Celtic!

[Mikebasset087]

Michael Ivor's Is a fine player!
Who is Shane murphy what position does he play!

[biglad101]

He must be a good keeper if both Celtic and Michaels are after him. Is that ivors from ballingarry handy player.

[Mikebasset087]

Michael Ivor's is handy enough. I don't see how players can sign for a club this early on.

[West Hammer]

Most teams are back to training 1st or 2nd week in July. No Player will sign before at least training is back on. Even Players that have no intention of moving don't sign forms till pre-season has started.
