[sweeper]

Those were the days, the bowl of soup and a few pints after the game. I often remember going home with the gear bag on my back around 11 o clock on a Sunday evening. What are yer best memories lads nearys in ardagh was always a good spot after playing villa

A bowl of soup in the green bar after a match with bens b and session all day long,ringing around the following day looking for your gear,those were def. the days.

[sportsfanatic]

Abbey are playing Friday, sorry

[fanaticfan]

Carrig 0-4 ncw rovers
Killeaney 10-0 ncw

Rathkeale 6-0 shannonside

Crazy scores there

[last man back]

I heard Abbey were beating Athea 5 - 1 aswell.

[Langerdan007]

Jaysus lads nobody is served by NCW being this bad - no team in any division should be getting bate 10
Was that even blown early like last week?

[fanaticfan]

[fanaticfan]

Final scores from the premier division

Broadford 2-2 Abbey
Newcastle Rovers 7-0 Killeaney
Ncw 0-6 Rathkeale
Shannonside 5-4 Athea

Didnt hear ballingarry vs carrig

[sportsfanatic]

Carrig 1:2 Ballingarry

[sexyfootball]

I don't know what to make of the start of the season...CRAZY! Anyone have any idea whats happening with NCW? surely they can't expect fellas to keep going out on a Sunday getting hammered & calling it up after 30mins... but if they pull out won't they have to start from the bottom and be excluded from the league for a year??
Glin look like they're gonna come straight back up with Kildimo I'd say.

[fanaticfan]

I dont know whats going on with ncw but someone told me the weekend that its the committee are at fault. He also said that they have pulled out the youths and b team. I think if they pull them out of the league. Then they would just be relegated to Division 1 i think. Could be wrong on that

Other news in the league is the Fai junior cup. No first round ties i think.

Shannonside vs Ballingarry
Newcastle Rovers vs hermitage from clare is all i heard. Anyone hear the other fixtures in the draw

[sportsfanatic]

It's really sad about NCW two years ago nearly did the double and now to be in this position. I can't even see them turning up away to Ballingarry the weekend after conceding 16 goals in just 90 mms of football ( Killeaney match called up after 70 mins and Rathkeale after 20 mins ) it's cruel on what I hear is a young team and not helping anyone. I THINK they will have to start again at te bottom of the divisions if they pull out.

In regards to the rest in the league, it seems this year could be the most exciting in awhile. Rovers are the team to beat. Rathkeale doing well and Abbey. I see it as a race between Rovers, Rathkeale, Broadford, Ballingarry and Shannonside. Who ever have the biggest squads should have a good chance to take the title! Any idea on when those FAI matches will be played Fanaticfan?

[sportsfanatic]

Sorry meant to say they nearly did the treble

[fanaticfan]

I think Its the weekend arounf.the 14th september or the 28th september

[sportsfanatic]

[runinglate]

Awful side to see a powerhouse of Desmond League being reduced to this, any chance of the management committee letting NCW moving down to division 3. I feel if the pull out completely it could spell the end for a great club.

How many clubs have players who were with them last year gone to. Has the feel good factor at Rover taken them all or have then been spread across the league. I did see Quaid and Power gone to Shannonside.

An awful lot of crazy results in premier so far, good result for shannonside the weekend after receiving a bit of a hiding vs Rathkeale Friday night.

[fanaticfan]

Why Isnt there fixtures on the new website?

[last man back]

Don't think there's fixtures this weekend due to limerick minors playing in hurling final.

[runinglate]

Really, nice touch out of league if it is the case.

Is there many lads on the panel affiliated to league, or is it giving lads the chance to travel to Dublin.

Must be a first.

[Shoot]

Yea their is no domestic fixtures this weekend due to Limerick minors

[fanaticfan]

Are you serious? No fixtures because of a minor hurling game? thats a joke

[last man back]

I agree fanatic, games are going ahead on the saturday in north tipp league and their in the senior final! A good league needs momentum and this break is unnecessay imo. Any club with issues should have been told to play on saturday, like what happens in schoolboy league

[sexyfootball]

It's really sad about NCW two years ago nearly did the double and now to be in this position.

I THINK they will have to start again at te bottom of the divisions if they pull out.

It's fairly terrible alright, at the start of any season you would always have the NCW A team to the fore to win any silverware... & their B team were always challenging too. Shame to see it happening & the pulling of there Youths is a disaster altogether. you at least need to give the young lads a chance to play, why should they suffer!?
League seems to be wide open alright Broadford, Rathkeale, Abbeyfeale, Rovers & Shannonside all have a great chance this season.
On the point of having the games off, I agree, shouldn't be a break in fairness, sure in 3 weeks time there will be another break for the FAI competition & you'll probably have the Miunster Junior down on top of that then.
The GAA Boards wouldn't be so accommodating towards the soccer and that's a fact!

[WhoShotJR]

Draw for:

Riedy Cup 1st Round
Abbeyfeale Utd B V Carrig Celtic B
Shannonside FC B V Rathkeale B
Askeaton B V Pallaskenry
Shountrade V Broadford Utd B
Feenagh B V Feenagh
Granagh Utd V Kilcornan
Ballingarry B V Adare Utd
Rockhill Rovers V St. Itas
Breska Rovers V Knockaderry
Ferry Rangers V Glin Rovers B

Byes for Athea Utd B, Bally Rovers, Creeves Celtic, Glantine, Kildimo Utd, Newcastle West Rovers B


What people think about that?

[Langerdan007]

One of our lads speculated alright last weekend there would be no games as he thought the last time Limerick were in the minor final the same thing happened, I was skeptical at the time.

I agree the GAA boards wouldn't be as accommodating, in fact I think they go out of their way to clash, but I actually think its a good decision. League has started early, we've had a couple Friday games and the likelihood is that the majority of teams would be effected, the league's are well ahead of schedule to my mind so why not let people attend the match without having to let teams/players down.

Playing on the Saturday wouldn't be the same, most ref's do 2 games on Sunday you'd only get half those games played on a Saturday due to number of refs alone, why complicate things?

[Good Shout]

A blanket call off because of an under 18 hurling match? The GAA having a right laugh at us yet again. Pathetic.

[fanaticfan]

I agree with good shout

[churchtownroad]

Should the desmond league play junior games on saturday . Broadford are home to Castleisland on sunday at 5pm if I am correct. Georgia v Rep of Ireland is on tv around the same time..if it was a earlier kick off they may get a crowd at it.

[Good Shout]

No, they should play the games on Sunday as is the tradition. The reason they gave for the blanket call off is because of the GAA so thats the reason. The R o I wont have the slightest impact on the attendance at the Broadford United game now if it was Munster playing rugby it would be different as both teams might struggle to field let alone muster a crowd.

Just on the NCW saga, if I were involved in a club that gave the "upset" NCW players a new home I would be very wary, if the committee of their "new and better" club make a percived mis-calculation what do you think they will do?

[dutchie]

Jaysus lads nobody is served by NCW being this bad - no team in any division should be getting bate 10
Was that even blown early like last week?

A total shame,with such a tradition and all,time for some of the top boys at the top table to be asked serious questions.

[walkover]

What do you mean by "percived mis-calculation"??

[runinglate]

Percived miscalcuation!

You are hardly blaming the players?

I dont know the ins and outs but it doesnt seem good.

[Argyll12]

When a club stops listening to players or caring about the players things like this happen. Without the players the club is nothing. If NCW come out of this I hope a lesson was learnt by whoever needed to learn it.

[sweeper]

I think there was a meeting tonight to decide the future of NCW afc,hopefully they will keep going as they have been since 1948.

[Shoot]

I think its good that we can call of matches for the minor hurling on Sunday just goes to show we are bigger and better than the Gaa and we are not like them biggots and that we are sports people

[Abbeyman]

Shoot your talking rubbish .. The GAA in abbeyfeale always work with soccer to make sure both sides work out ... That's why we'll be desmond cup champions and county senior football champions at the the one time !

[Notaclue]

were ye not missing some of your GAA players when ye drew with Broadford last Sunday. Fr Casey's and Castleisland Desmonds were playing at the same time down the road. Desmonds won as well. So much for detente in Abbeyfeale methinks....

[Argyll12]

I didn't know about this so posting in case others don't.
