Funny old game soccer,ncw sign 2 of Rovers best players and then they get beaten by a severely depleted Rovers team,I heard that they were missing 3 or 4 starters.just shows that form doesn't matter in derby games.

big shock there. you'd expect Carew park to hammer rovers tho next round given the form of the two. Carew scoring goals for fun in Limerick and rovers leaking them. also is Collins now suspended for that tie too

Ya missing players 6 A team players altogether due to football and injuries
(3 to 4 of which are usually definite starters)

Bring on Carew Park :p

[super6]

Id say rovers would have preferred it to be the league tho.... can anyone post both starting lineups of the newcastle derby please ??
Ya especially in carew,could be an awful thumping.

Heard there was a few Broadford lads at the Nenagh derby Sunday, any veiws on it lads?

I’m sorry to disappoint you but the Broadford lads were on the lash after their match was called off. MJC not a priority so obviously a drive to Nenagh would be a waste of time.

[fanaticfan]

The munster junior cup is not a priority to broadford??? Would ye not like to get far in the competition or even try and win the thing.they sure capable of doing it

[last man back]

Big game Sunday week I fancy Broadford to win it, possible 3 defeats in a row for NCW

[BoyBlue]

Could the wheels be coming off for ncw, you might see some of their new signings leaving aswell if this happens. I'd fancy broadford to win this game comfortably having seen both team recently.

[fanaticfan]

Ya can't see anything else other than a broadford victory. Bad result for ncw last weekend and broadford going well again this season

[super6]

bit of a coincidence all right NCW and broadford is the only premier fixture!! NCW with loads of injuries and suspensions, its great to have the chairman on board!!!!!

[The Enforcer]

That's a great point, especially as Broadford have a wedding the day before, you might do a bit of research in future before making stupid comments

[fanaticfan]

Who is suspended for ncw and who is getting married for broadford?

[super6]

Injuries and suspensions prevent you from playing, you can decide whether to get hammered or not at a wedding !!

Mike Boyce getting married in Broadford, related and friend to alot of the players. I agree with the statement above but I am sure you will have to agree that its far from convenient like u said. However if you are man enough to say it is why dont you come out and say it to the man on the day

[fanaticfan]

Who is injuried and suspended for ncw?I don't think it's a coincidence that the two teams are meeting that day. Both teams are behind on league games so have to catch up to the rest

[last man back]

Not much to discuss this last week so I taught I'd throw this one out; Is it time the desmond league considered summer soccer.
Personally I'd be all for it, the clashing with GAA arguement dont stand up much anymore as GAA is now virtually all year round. Clubs now have excellent
playing surfaces and its a shame to see them lying idle over the summer months. There would be more flexibility with fixtures as games could be played any
evening during the week.
The only negative I can think of is players summer holidays but I'm sure a 2 week break could be factored in to accomadate, I know it wont suit all but every
Sunday players miss games for 1 reson or another.
I think the Desmond League has to do a bit of forward thinking for the future. Youths league is becoming a farce every year with clubs withdrawing after 1 or 2
rounds and this year 2 junior clubs have folded. Summer soccer is just 1 idea but I'm sure others would have constructive suggestions. My hope for 2013 is the
league will listen to the people on the ground to improve the game and help clubs build for the future

[fifty50]

Here in Clare our schoolboys league is run through the summer march to September roughly speaking. Mayo junior league is full time summer soccer. Personally I don't think it would work, the chances of doing well in national competitions is slim to none. Head to head with gaa, summer holidays, summer jobs, lots of distractions.
But I do fear for youths football though, we have only 4 teams in our u19 league, disgraceful.. The quality is there, the numbers arnt. As it happens I've seen Desmond youths play this year, have a lot of nice players. A decent side to be fair

[soccer8]

How would the likes of Broadford be affected??? they contest county finals regularly in the GAA and have a lot of Gaa players on their team.....

[last man back]

I remember broadford played ncw on a friday evening towards the end of last season which clashed with the 1st rd of the county football ironically also b/f v ncw. Both teams reached the county final played the end of october. So in 5 months ncw played 7 games and drom/broad played 8. Y'oud get a lot of soccer played in that timescale

Always happens around Christmas,I can never remember a lot of matches being played this time of year,maybe there should just be a Christmas break instead of having players staying around only for games to be postponed at the last minute.

[fanaticfan]

Broadford 1-3 newcastle.

Tossie butler for broadford
Daniel power, Keith power dunno who scored the other for newcastle

[thomas72]

Did newcastle west rovers game go ahead???

[BoyBlue]

Big win for ncw this morning, probably just about deserved it.big challenge for broadford to retain the league trophy now. I'd doubt NCW Rovers game went ahead Thomas unless it was changed to ballingarry.

[fanaticfan]

Well from what i saw newcastle deserved the win..I missed the penalty for broadford and the first goal for newcastle.newcastle were all over broadford.

[fanaticfan]

Looks like broadford and newcastle will be playing catch up in the league after this weekend games.. broadford will have 5 games over rathkeale aNd ncw will have 4 over rathkeaLe. Broadford will have 4games over ballingarry and ncw will have 3 over them.

[sexyfootball]

Does anyone know is it true that John Kelliher has joined Broadford?

[fanaticfan]

Doubt it. They would hardly sign him. He is way past it and would only be on the bench

[last man back]

Heard that aswell, from a good source i mite add. But agree with fanaticfan his best years are behind him. As regards Abbey are they still without a manager ?

[sexyfootball]

Don't know about him being past it, still a good experienced player, some teams would love to have a player like him! Although it is a strange one if its true! Thought Broadford have a good enough team as it is!
Don't think Abbey have a manager yet, not sure on that though!

Good Luck to Broadford on Sunday too, beat those Jackíns!!

[last man back]

Youths lost 4-1 tonite

[fanaticfan]

Heard off a few people that he has signed with broadford..can't see him getting on that team to be honest. Best of luck to broadford tomorrow in the fai junior. Hopefully they can beat the team from dublin.

I dont believe kelliher would leave abbey at all.the last game i seen abbey play was against ncw in newcastle and after quirke, kelliher was there best player at centreback so def would not say he is past it but strange decison if true. didnt hear abbey had lost there manager again.what happenen this time? best of luck to broadford tomorrow.is it a game they should be winning?

[fanaticfan]

Someone told me that kelliher was at the broadford vs ncw game last weekend. Must be true if few people are saying it
