I heard the army are playing today! Couldn't find anything on line to confirm it though!
Best of luck to Tommy! He is a boss player that could be playing at a much higher level! No disrespect to Glin Rovers or Desmond League intended!

Best of luck Tommy......fair play
The league in my eyes will turn into a two horse race between b’ford and ncw if the games in hand go in their favour, big surprise that abbey havn’t started as well as other seasons probably due to injuries and gaa at the start of the season but with a good mixture of old and young players i fully expect em to make a late drive for the league as their well good enough!!
Totally agree with Desmonder Tommy Culhane has enough ability to play at a higher level and if i’m brutally honest he is wasteing his time at glin having to fight relegation each year staying up by the skin of their teeth

Tommy culhane started for the irish defence forces....
LEAGUE CUP DRAWS
Premier Division League Cup 1st Round
Newcastle West Rovers v Ballingarry
Shannonside v Broadford Utd
Division 1 League Cup 1st Round
St Itas v Kilcornan
Askeaton v Athea Utd
Division 2 League Cup 1st Round
Carrig Celtic B v Abbeyfeale Utd B
Ballysteen v Broadford Utd B
Shannonside v Broadford. That should draw a crowd. Hopefully they produce something a bit better than the finals they played last year
What the hell are you talking about Nathanbrown. The football Shannonside played in the League cup final was brilliant, they destroyed Broadford so it was obvious that the Desmond Cup final was going to be tight. They had to change their gameplan and Shannonside had to combat that, as a result games were tightQuote:

I only saw the Desmond cup games
The league is only in the early stages yet, Ballingarry are top & no mention of them! Newcastle West and Broadford are probably favourites alright but I reckon the likes of Rathkeale, Ballingarry & Shannonside will be there or there abouts also!
Tommy Culhane is one of the best players in the league & clearly has the ability to play at a higher level but maybe he just likes playing for his hometown club something which is to be admired! Also fair play to him representing his country, great achievement!

NOTE - Just 8 out of the 13 games fixed beat the weather
big win for ncw any reports ?what happenend d youths?
was at the ncw vs rathkeale game this morning. very sloppy game with the weather being bad and the pitch also not in good condition.ncw went up 1-0 through daniel power (i think it was him anyway).rathkeale got the next goal from a free kick from the half way line. ball kicked into the box and went straight in.alan o shea put rathkeale in front and then ncw got two goals from their striker and the winner scored by joyce.rathkeale had a man sent off after the ncw 3rd goal cos i think the rathkeale player were saying it was handball..was gonna go to broadford vs killarney also but it wasa called off.hopefully broadford can beat them so we can have 2 desmond teams in the open draw
I taught rathkeale were unlucky, they missed 2 great chances when they led 2 1 . The ncw equaliser looked like an own goal to me

I totally agree with you sexyfootball! By a higher standard, I meant if he ever got the chance to play elsewhere outside Desmond League in City League or whatever - then it would be good for him as he would also improve as a player, better coaching, more exposure, etc. Otherwise, you should play for your hometown club which he loyally does! He is a Top man - all credit to him!!
Fanaticfan - why would he want to play for Broadford or NCW? Glin Rovers could beat either on their day! Granted, consistency is their downfall!
Cos then he would win something if he played for broadford or newcastle. Broadford winning the league last year,title contenders again this year. Newcastle winning cups past few years.Only thing he would win would be a relegation battle
What a stupid post !!! Glin beat NCW a couple of years ago in the desmond cup final and have drawn with both NCW and broadford this year,,, If the likes of culhane left Glin for eithier of clubs mentioned above and other players decided to do so the league would be crap,,,
And they will still finish below those teams at the end of the season trophyless. Yes he won the Desmond cup tWo or three years ago but what else has he won other than the Desmond cup that year???all I'm saying is that he should join a bigger club if he wants to win medals and if not,then fair play to him to staying with glin
tommy culhane a great player for glin and always will be my only issue with him not been so recognoised is how would you know him from any other culhane on the team.i also heard during the week and this is only a rumour that his ambitions are to play with ABBEYFEALE
Where are them clubs from lads?Quote:

Answers... Abbeyfeale, seriously?? Ah here! I don't think he would ever play for another team in the Desmond League besides Glin.
Its true, as was said in an earlier post, if Glin were more consistent they could challenge for the league, always a tough team, i suppose the GAA doesn't help them either though!
Answers is probably stirring stuff cos I don't believe thats true about Culhane wantin to join abbey. Wouldn't abbey vs glin be a rivalry game?
I'm very sad to hear the passing of granagh and ex ballingarry player Joe scanlon.a good player and a sound bloke. May he rest in rest in piece :(
Very tough asks in the FAI for the Desmond teams....Tramore from waterford....they have been the top team in waterford the last few seasons....and are current leaders

Pike Rovers 4-0 St Brendans Park in Clounreask. Pike dominated whole game, decent crowd at it.
