how has the season gone so far?
what players should we keep an eye out for?
anyone look like challenging the big two?
no no one near the big 2. worst start to season ever. 2 promoted teams only 2 challenging rest of premier teams are gone backwards rock rovers,peake villa, borris and clonmel celtic are all poor this year. div 1 standard high this year rosegreen oldbridge cahir park and galbally have all very strong teams and cud be outside bets for fai or mjc runs.
The TSDL is suffering because the perceived big two are getting further and further ahead of the other clubs. No sign of the duoploly being broken anytime soon. I guess that Clonmel Town and St. Michaels are more motivated by the FAIJC and the MJC than they are with their own league and cup competition.

(Straight to penalties if aggregate score is level)
St. Michaels hit Cashel Town for 6 in the MJC and Clonmel Town make it 8 from 8 in the Premier League. Plus ca change!
Clonmel Town now 9 wins out of 9 games in the South Tipp league after an easy 1-5 win away to Killusty. Two goals from Ian Barnes who is in fine form.
Paul Stone from Cashel town youths must surely have set a record. he scored 8 goals as they beat Rock Rovers comfortably. This Cashel team could end up challenging for national honours
have peake villa signed any new players yet?
cud someone post draw for next round of munster junior cup. i think cahir are playing clonmel town. so the other 4 remaining tipp south teams are st.Michael,rock rovers galbally united and borris fc.is this correct
Peake have signed no new players yet. When the new manager joined, I presume all players has signed for their clubs at this stage. Maybe in the Jan transfer window he might pick up someone. They need strength in depth, and at the moment they just don't have the power on the bench.Quote:

Willie mulcair must have helped with a few signings for cashel if he was involved with peake villa before. A lot of Cashel players involved in the TSDL Youth friendly this weekend. A few more that Saints.Quote:

Yes Stone is from Roscrea. If you can recall the 2000 Peake winning side was made up of players from Thurles, Roscrea & Cashel. Seems with Mulcaire at the helm in Cashel it looks all to familiar to Peake Team of 2000. Cashel now have players from Roscra, Thurles & Cashel....De Ja Vu no less......Quote:

But in this day and age the league is a rural one and how else are teams to pit themselves against stronger city teams without recruiting.
As for the discussion on the oscar trainor team, i totally agree its gone beyond a joke they have gone from champions a few years back to nothing and all of the players that played the final are still the top players in the tipperary league. To be honest the man over it hasn't a clue what he's at 3 from killusty(probably the worst defensive record in all four divisions this year) 1 there goalkeeper(not bad in fairness) and another there centre half(a kicker) how can he justify these selections. Easily known what what club team he also manages.!!!!
Yeah there must be a few players scratching their heads as to why they're not on the squad, Horan, O'Connor and duggan from Villa, Costigan from Cahir and Richie Ryan from Clonmel to name but a few.....and three Killusty players?????
In fairness we can all see why the Killusty players are there, as mentioned, the Oscar Traynor manager is from Killusty. But was very surprised to see Horan, O'Connor and Duggan omitted from Villa. Why call up Richie Ryan when they have O'Sullivan (Saints) and Breen (Villa). Why have 3 keepers. Should Ryan be there instead of Breen ? Saying all that, with the weather we are having it might be called off again !Quote:

dessie caulie and richie fitzgerald form the rest of the management team. and paul stone played for cashel 2 years ago as well. if you look at the DDSL how many players are from the country. roscrea aint too far away in comparison. how will the oscar traynor youths go this yr?Quote:

Here's the TSDL side of the next round to the FAI Junior Cup.Quote:

Blackcastle United (NTDL)-v-Clonmel Town
what a side that oscar trainor team!!!! does anyonw know what the team was and how the game went. Heard that Aaron scored and tipp got off the mark first. Surley this farce can't go on much longer. No disrespect to the WWEC team but they must be one of the weakest teams in the competition. What ye think of the draw for the FAI a couple of the south tipp teams should progress :D
We should hopefully see a few TSDL sides progress. Peake might have a tough one against Lismore away. Cahir Park should overcome Gooldscross, but they might be a hand full at home. Clonmel Town will take Blackcastle by the odd goal. Pitch won't suit Clonmel. Kilmanahan will have it tough as well. Old Bridge should come out of their tie. So overall, hopefully it will be a good round for the TSDL sides.Quote:

I think while Dermot Finnan is with Peake Villa he could be the man for an Oscar Traynor Job. I myself think the Finnan will stay with Villa for 2 years. This year will be his building year and next year his challanging year. So he might be a good choice for OT Manager next year.Quote:

Wasn't a great game to be honest. Not a lot of football played. Villa looked the fitter team, but again lack strenght on the bench.Quote:

Peake Villa only able to draw 3-3 with Killusty. I thought they were better than that. Also, Carrick United beat Saint Michaels 2-1 in Munster Senior Cup.

Woeful game, this competaion is awaste of time
I thought they were better than that myself. Very bad result in preparation for nxt weekend's FAI fixture.Quote:

They were lucky, and also relieved. That's FAI Cup football for you.
was at the game myself,clonmel were v anxious,and pitch was not condusive to good ball playing,if blackcastle had belief they could have won maybe. After the goal they had 2 chances within the next 15 mins, they then invited clonmel on them for the remainder of the game,scrappy goals yeah but ya can't say they didn't deserve them. Clonmel dominated the 2nd half completely,should have had a clear penalty and in the end got what they deserved. Blackcastle players(every single one of them) spent more time on the ground timewasting than they did running around yesterday.
hows he doing with st.micheals?
It's FAI Junior Cup Football, how you can possibly complain about the football surface. Every pitch can't be like a carpet, that's the luck of the draw. I've seen TSDL teams play in much worse conditions that the Templemore pitch. It was a case of the fitter team won on the day. And it was because of the lack of fitness that most of the Blackcastle Team were going to ground. But again you have to realise, that Blackcastle were in with a chance with beating the best team in the TSDL so i'm sure you can understand if they went to ground easy enough. I am by no means a Blackcastle supporter nor Clonmel for that matter, but in Junior Cup football everything is expected on the day...That's the joy's of FAI Junior Cup Football !!!Quote:

If so cahir will handle them i think.Old Bridge got a tough draw away to probably passage or Ballincollig Nothin easy there. Clonmel seem to have got a banana skin as little is known about the donegal league really and they are away 2....but easily the tie of the round for tipp is peake villa. Time for fiinnan to put all that football knowledge to good use. I fancy peake to take them. i hear they are not as strong as last year is this true? Up in thurles nothing will be easy. What ye think?:confused: :) Hopefully we'll see a few teams progress
Villa have to progress against Lismore this coming weekend first. Which will be a tough tie for them. And then probably Crystal in the last 64 ! T'will be a good game, Crystal are good every year so it will be a very difficult tie for the Thurles Outfit. Finnan would want to prepare hard if they are to get over Lismore at the weekend.Quote:
