Limerick Desmond League 2016/17

[southern kid]

Ok hopefully Oscar traynor team can push on from that as the group games won't be long coming around.. I see fai draw was made hopefully desmond league teams will progress after last week's hammering from outside teams.. big game in abbeyfeale tomorrow night. I seen dingle last year and was v impressed with them, should be a quality game. Best of luck to the home side.. also some interesting leave games the weekend.i think ratkeale will push all the way this year..

[Ballistinianlad]

Desmond league trialists are taking on ourselves in clounreask tonight at 7-45. Will get the their team and post afterwards

[Shoot]

Who is ourselves Bllistinianlad ?

[Ballistinianlad]

Desmond league 5-1 Ballysteen AFC
There team was. S.Lynch. K.Foster C.Cummane B.Lynch T.Quilligan G.Kelly K.Hartnett V.Mambuana R.Brouder S.Joyce A.Smith. Subs G.Garvey J.Purcell J.Page. M.Quilligan D.Neville. Scorers were Joyce X 2. Mambuana. Kelly. Garvey.

Good game. We prob could have gotten another. But they missed a hat load of chances.

[sexyfootball]

No disrespect to Ballysteen but why is our inter-league team playing a Division II team? They surely could have gotten a better/ tougher fixture?
Hope it has set them up up in some way for their 3 group games.

Group C - Limerick, Kerry, Desmond, West Cork

Match Day 1
Desmond V West Cork

Match Day 2
Kerry v Desmond

Match Day 3
Limerick v Desmond


Match Day 1 On or before 5th/6th November
Match Day 2 On or before 26th/27th November
Match Day 3 On or before 7th/8th January

[Ballistinianlad]

No disrespect taken sexyfootball lol. I think there playing Clare next week. That would be a much better indication of how they will shape for the group I would imagine.

Ballistinianlad it's good to see someone keeping this forum going anyway, thanks for the update on the Oscar Traynor.
Some going... they're gonna go from playing a Div II Desmond League team to playing the current Interleague All Ireland Champions... that'll be interesting - have they a date/ venue? Wouldn't mind seeing them play.

[Johnnie C]

Good win for Abbey in Munster Champions Cup last weekend. Nenagh Celtic away in semi so they have a decent chance of making the final. Important win too given how poorly the previous weekend went for DL sides in the FAI Junior. Ballingarry should progress at home tomorrow v Shannom Olympic you'd imagine.

[Ballistinianlad]

Think it's Wednesday in clounreask but il ask the manager tomorrow.

[southern kid]

Ya great win for abbey and by all accounts the better team with 10 men for over an hour.i c fixtures for weekend.the pick of the games glin v ncw rovers.also tough trip to knockdown for abbey.killeaney always do well against them.. as regards the Oscar traynor is think it's pointless playing division 2 teams or even prem teams to be honest unless it's pike or boro etc. U need to play at higher level to c can u compete at that level. Also that team that played other night is poor enough with the quality players in league..no dis recept to players but I think there is better quality out there.. is date for first game fixed yet?

[Ballistinianlad]

There's Defo one or two who didn't look to be of a high enough standard in my opionon. Lack of interest from abbeyfeale apparently seemingly. Think there's a couple more from Rathkeale to come though. And Quaid was missing too

Alot of work into that Shearer fair play, very comprehensive!

On a more worrying note heard Newcastle West are in trouble, didn't have enough numbers for the match against Athea Sunday.
Hope they sort it out soon or else they'll be in big trouble.

[Ballistinianlad]

Jesus. Does anyone know when the last time Newcastle west were not in the top division?
There B team had 10 subs against Pallaskenry in a cup game.

Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Here's this weekend's one too - Preview for this weekend's Limerick Desmond League games. (http://stoppagetime.ie/limerick-desmond-league/james/limerick-desmond-preview/)

That Desmond vs Clare challenge match that took place last night finished 2-0 to Clare by the way.

Excellent work, fair play

[CraftyToePoke]

Great stuff Shearer, a welcome addition for sure & appreciated.

[Johnnie C]

Great work Shearer.

[southern kid]

Great report shearer. Is glin v abbeyfeale on tonight??

[AlanOB]

Great to see a start-up going about things in the right way, with quality well-researched content.

All the best to stoppagetime.ie. :ball:

[CraftyToePoke]

Are the Old Mill gone Shearer do you know ? I don't see them on the tables.

[Shearer]

Are the Old Mill gone Shearer do you know ? I don't see them on the tables.
Yeah they are.

[CraftyToePoke]

Do you know any more of why or what happened ? I know they were roping players together to fulfill fixtures last year but heard nothing since, just no sign of them on the tables.

[Shearer]

Not sure of the ins and outs of it but I know that they couldn't get a team together this year.

[Ballistinianlad]

Was anyone at the glin abbey match. Heard it was some craic

[Johnnie C]

Old Mill were struggling to field a side for the last couple of seasons and after back to back relegations it was kind of inevitable they would fold. Always a pity to see a club go. Fisticuffs a plenty at that Abbey v Glin game last weekend apparently.

[Shearer]

Only 7 lads showed up to Oscar Traynor training Friday night.

[southern kid]

That is v poor numbers but is Friday night a good night for training with most club training on a Friday.if the big players from top clubs don't start committing I would worry for that team. It's a shame really considering desmond were in semi final one year and won it in 08..

[fanaticfan]

Some players involved with the big clubs don't give a flying fiddlers about the Oscar traynor. Shame really

[fanaticfan]

Just saw the fixtures for this weekend and saw that the Oscar traynor team are playing Saturday night at 7.30pm

Would that mean that there are no players from abbeyfeale playing because they are away to nenagh on Sunday and Broadford are home to ballingarry on Sunday too!! No Broadford players either??

[Have It]

It would appear to be the case. Cant understand guys not wanting to play in it. You wouldn't see a gaa player turn down a call up for his county. I can understand if fellas are working shift or away but really can't understand a player not wanting to bother to represent his league and be thought of as one of the best players in it. Baffling

[sexyfootball]

I'm delighted that the league have a team in the Oscar Traynor again this season... provides every player in the league with a chance to perform at an even higher level. Shame that there are so many missing (especially the Abbey contingent) and must say i'm shocked that some of the teams providing players are being asked to play on the Sunday, don't think that ever happened before.
I don't think you can say they don't give a fiddlers, personally i'd be very surprised if players from Abbeyfeale, Broadford & Newcastle West didn't want to play, I just dot know what the story is...

On another note what about the 6-6 draw between Glin & Newcastle West...that game had some entertainment value!

[fanaticfan]

That's a terrible team. 6 players from outside the premier division. 1 Broadford player in the team and 2 Newcastle West players in the squad and not 1 Abbeyfeale? Where is Mike O Keeffe and last year's premier division player of the year Shane Stack? Sean Mcsweeney should also be in the squad. Ray lynch and Joe Mcauliffe from Broadford? One or two more from ballingarry. League is a joke

the Glin vs Newcastle West game must have been good with plenty of goals but must have been terrible defending.

[fanaticfan]

Absolutely great work shearer with previews for every game and round up of all games in the league also. Great credit and work. Everyone of us will look forward to reading them every week

As far I am aware, each team had the option to play on Sunday knowing that the Oscar Traynor game was on sat night, most said no but some said yes. If the widespread rumours are true though that the Abbey lads were instructed not to play then that is shocking and a disgrace

[southern kid]

Heard tonight that abbey had two fellows out of the 7 at training last Friday nite and manager was told after he could not pick any players from abbey as there munster cup game had to go ahead. A disgrace if true and shows total disrespect for Oscar traynor management team an players.. can anyone confirm?

[CraftyToePoke]

Old Mill were struggling to field a side for the last couple of seasons and after back to back relegations it was kind of inevitable they would fold. Always a pity to see a club go.

A pity, yes. I remember playing for the Old Mill '95 / '97 time, either their first & second seasons or their second & third, cant say for sure. Great crew of lads and some laugh we had. But I do remember plenty at training, and several lads griping when they were getting no game come Sunday, I even remember us having a game of ball of a Christmas Day one time and there being a good few for that even. A shame they are gone.

0-0 at Clounreask at half time. Even game so far with few chances.

what is the team line up?

[Johnnie C]

0-0 full time, draw probably about right, Desmond's had slightly more possession but few clear-cut chances in game, Desmond's had two, West Cork had one. Team:Purcell, Brouder, O'Shea, Lynch, Quilligan, Joyce, Van, Kelly, Hartnett, P Nash and D Nash. Subs used: Smith and Gallagher

[southern kid]

Limerick district beat kerry 3 0. It's a pity we did not get all 3 points. U would expect to beat the west cork lge at home. Well done to all.

[jackass]

Was at the match Desmond had good chances should have won really, could have done with a few more quailty players like brosnan from broadford and quaid from Ncw, Desmond's bench looked weak, Purcell in goals was very dodgy, Gayer should be on instead of him seen him play from Drom and feenagh very good young goalie.
