[snafu]

(Shannonside only 8 players)

Well that is a strange one, What makes it even more strange is that Shannonside have a B team, could they not call up 3 guys from the B team??
Im guessing GAA had something to do with it...but still. You'd imagine they would manage to pull 11 players from somewhere considering that that Shannonside was 2 separate clubs not so long ago

[churchtownroad]

Breska gave walkover to Killeaney,,,,is that correct ?

[last man back]

Are you thrown out of the league if you give 2 walkovers ? Kildimo
0 ncw rovers 1

[Cruyff]

St.Ita's 3 Glantine 4, Ita's slipped up bad, Glantine missing players a great result for them, standard very poor with notable exception to Ita's 2 strikers Paul Fitzmaurice(2) and Niall McEnery(1) could have scored a hat each if it were'nt for brillian Glantine Goalie Seamus Murphy, they now have 7 goals a piece after 4 games.

Are Breska going to be thrown out???

[fanaticfan]

Another hammering to Rockhill. Surely the worst team to play in the premier. Is it something like 24goals conceded in first 4 league games.good win for broadford thismorning. Surely favouritrs for the league already. Shannonside only had 8 players? That's bad form when two towns can't field 11players as one team

[western gale]

Last man back - teams are thrown out of league after three walkovers. Was at Newcastle West v Athea Utd game today where the home side got a flattering 3-0 win, West keeper Tommy Quinn was outstanding with at least 4 top drawer saves, Athea had as much possession as the hosts but two goals in as many minutes late in the second half turned the game in favour of West

[Have It]

I was at the Carrig Shannonside game and from what I could see shannonside had eleven players on the field at all times and even made a substitution at half time. Any truth in the rumours that Tony Quaid is heading back to Newcastle?

[mad4it]

I was also at the carrig match and shannonside definitely had 11 on the pitch along with a few subs. Great win for carrig who were missing a couple of their best players.

[fanaticfan]

Good result for Carrig Celtic so if shannonside had 11 starting. Quaid would hardly leave the city league already would he?

[fifty50]

I've only seen tony quaid twice with the boro, great temperament on the ball. Looks very comfortable at that level.
But worringly for the young lad, with boro chasing the game for long periods(Carew away and Fairview home) they were very hesitant to introduce him. Maybe he's had enough already, boro ain't going to win the league now

[twotouch]

Any1 got the fixtures for the Munster Junior ???

[walkover]

Last man back - teams are thrown out of league after three walkovers. Was at Newcastle West v Athea Utd game today where the home side got a flattering 3-0 win, West keeper Tommy Quinn was outstanding with at least 4 top drawer saves, Athea had as much possession as the hosts but two goals in as many minutes late in the second half turned the game in favour of West

So if Breska give another walkover this weekend, then they are thrown out of the league?? How would that work out for the division for the rest of the season, does everyone get six points?

[Langerdan007]

So if Breska give another walkover this weekend, then they are thrown out of the league?? How would that work out for the division for the rest of the season, does everyone get six points?

Fairly ironic that you're asking considering the username!!
You're right on what happens - all teams given 6 points - happened a few times in Div 3 last yr 3 teams folded
Are Ballybrown still in the hurling?!?!
I'm sure the League would prefer Breska to give a W/O next weekend and then everyone will get 6 points and know where they stand
Worst thing would be if they get hurlers back win a few matches and then at the end of season give another W/O when the hurling starts again
It'd make a f*ck of the division as all the teams they'd beaten would have to get those points back

[mad4it]

I think something needs to be done about all these walkovers. It can potentially cost a team the league title or cause a team to be relegated. Would introducing big fines help to prevent this and make teams think twice about not showing up for games and try harder to get a team together. Points deductions don't really seem to deter them.

Rathkeale Broadford obviously the stand out fixture and they are also meeting in the FAI this weekend i think this weekend will c how good both teams are

I dont know if fines would make a difference mad4it - if they give a couple W/O's and get thrown out they aren't going to pay a fine regardless
Its not something that normally happens at the start of the season really - usually its the last 3 games where teams have nothing to play for and GAA has started back
At this stage you'd think that Breska will likely fold, 2 games 2 W/O's doesnt bode well and they've put a lot of work into facilities over there in recent years
Its a long way back from the bottom division if they do fold!

[The Enforcer]

I thought 3 teams always qualified from the Desmond League for the open draw

[Notaclue]

You're correct but it's down to 2 this year as the no of teams from the Desmond league who entered is also far fewer than previous seasons. I suppose that finances play a big part in some clubs not entering the competition, but I reckon that 8 clubs didn't enter and it reflects poorly on the league.

Any match reports from the weekend......

[fanaticfan]

Rock hill with a walkover the weekend. They ain't having a good year

[fourfour3]

heard mike o keefe has gone back to newcastle rovers.big signing for them. ncw afc seem to be in trouble even at this early stage if their losing players of his caliber.

[twotouch]

Thats a great signing for rovers ...... i have seen them a couple of times this year and they are a young side who move the ball well and quickly and o'keeffe coming back in will only help them push on to get back into the premier......

[walkover]

Yes Mike O'Keefe played his first game back with Rovers at the weekend, and is a great boost to the side along with Pádraig Devine returning from his travels and a great number of youths players making the step up to Junior, the team is looking in great shape.

Also development of the new field has started in the last few weeks, with John Delaney and Leo Varadkar coming next week to turn the sod.
So if Rovers do make a return to the premier next season, they will be playing on a new top quality pitch!

Fair play to Rovers, they've put a lot of hard work into getting a new set up. It was badly needed in fairness but these things take time. Those 2 players coming back will make a massive difference to them, can see them pushing for promotion now, great additions.

[skyhome]

yea seamus carroll gone from rathkeale to pike i heard yesterday not lookin too gud for rathkeale now he was there stand out player

[fanaticfan]

Ya Seamus Carroll is a good player alright. Is he good enough for pike tho?

[skyhome]

its unusual for pike to take a player that really doesnt have a name made for himself in soccer in any league. but sur keith harnet from rathkeale is in there so maybe there was a bit of pull
