Great result for shannonside b, that should be a handy cup quarter final for our b team now as we should easily account for Shannonside b and that puts us only 2 steps from winning it. Has any other division 3 team ever won the desmond cup before?

Interesting meeting tonite (i think) regarding schoolboy soccer in ireland. Discussing summer soccer amongst other topics. Could influence the junior scene in the coming years
Surprised we havnt fixtures for friday evening games yet. I taught the idea of starting the league early was to finish earlier. If Abbey dont start playing evening games soon the rest of the clubs will have to wait until all teams have 2 games left. That could be in JUNE as i expect Abbey to be in 2 cup finals
Askeaton 1-0 up on Breska at half time.
Cracker of a game in Newcastle West this morning between both Rovers and AFC. AFC went up 2-0 tony quaid scoring both. Then Rovers went up 3-2 thanks to mike o keeffe. Seoirse Joyce and I think it was darragh woods who got the third (not sure). Afc levelled with about 10mins through William Kavanagh. Great game to watch. Good point for AFC and bad point for rovers. That's rovers title ambitions gone now Id say.
Rathkeale were up 5-2 with a few mins to go I heard
The game finished with that scoreline, that's Askeaton promoted, needing a point from their last two games to win Division 2.Quote:

Shannonside 0 - 0 Ballingarry. Good game, no idea how it finished up like that both teams had great chances right up to the last minute.
Rathkeale B 3-0 Rockhill. 4 points in their last two games will guarantee the title for them. Still have League Cup final and Desmond Cup quarter final to come too.
Kildimo very unlucky not 2 get the win today.if rathkeale slip up.kildimo will catch them
Desmond Cup Semi Final draw:
Broadford/Ncw Rovers V Abbeyfeale/Carrig Celtic
Kildimo/Rathkeale B V Glin B/Shannonside B
was at the Askeaton v Breska game, good hard game of football Askeaton could have been up 3-0 at H-T with Breska not really creating any real chances. Breska had a lot of the ball in the second half but was mostly huff and puff a couple of shots going well wide or over the crossbar, they did hit the crossbar late on with a header mind you which could have changed the outcome, but Askeaton were still dangerous on the break and could have added to their lead. Askeaton denied a stone wall penalty right at the end. if it was given the defender would surely have been sent off so maybe the ref judged it on that. Askeaton have now gone 13 games unbeaten in the league winning 11 and drawing 2 since they lost to Breska in late August surely championship winning form and well deserved barring a complete disaster in their last two games,
Congratulations to Seoirse Joyce from Newcastle West Rovers won has won the premier division player of the year
Hey guys.a good few big cup games this wknd involving premier teams, I would fancy Broadford to get past rovers but will be very tight an I think carrig will get past abbey in other quarters,abbey will surly come unstuck an I think it could be in carrig. Looks like ncw got a massive point last wk to help the survive the drop. Could not believe ballingarry got caught out in cup but when I seen them against Tralee they were very limited...
Rovers 3 - 1 Broadford
Heard Carrig and Abbey gone to extra time
Any result from Abbey vs Carrig???
Only heard rovers beat broadford 3-1 and Newcastle beat Ballingarry 5-0
Heard abbey win on pens
Abbey won 6-5 on penalties. Game finished 1-1 aet
Glin 'B' 2 - 1 Shannonside 'B'. (AET) Glin won it in the last minute of extra time with a great header. Sickening.
I was at the Newcastle West Rovers v Broadford match Sunday, not a bad game... Rovers deserved to win... just... there was little between the sides in my opinion.
Should be a good semi final between Rovers & Abbeyfeale, Great achievement by Glin B in reaching the semi final & Rathkeale B... has there ever been a 'B' Team in a Desmond Cup final before??
Athea still have a chance of staying up after their result at the weekend... it's getting tight at the bottom!!
Great to see Askeaton winning Division 2 and getting promoted, some great people at the club & looks like they've turned things around.
Any results from tonight's games?
Rathkeale B 4-2 Pallaskenry in the Division One League Cup final. Pa Ahern man of the match with a goal and 2 assists. That's 12 in 10 games since he joined in January.
Heard Abbeyfeale & Shannonside played Thursday night... Abbey won 4-0!
Congratulations to Rathkeale B. Having a great season this year. Top in division 1,won division 1 league cup and in the Desmond cup semi finals. In my opinion they would be my team of the year.
Ballingarry 2 Abbey 5
Premier division
Killeaney 0-6 Ncw Rovers
Broadford 8-0 Rathkeale (rathkeale had only 8players)
Premier division league cup semi
Carrig 4-2 Ncw
Abbey still on for the treble and reached the quarter final of Munster junior. If they can win atleast two of those cups (which i think they will) then will be my team of the year. Rathkeale B had a super season too
Ya I agree wit you about abbeyfeale,I did not realise there was a team of yr award in Desmond lge but it's a good idea.. Friday nites game shud be a cracker wit two footballing sides goin at it.. Rovers could shave it as der scoring goals for fun..
Tough one alright between Abbeyfeale A & Rathkeale B re team of the year... both have the potential for a few trophies but they have nothing to show yet, both could end up with nothing!! Although it would take a major catastrophe for them to at least not win their respective leagues.
With regards to the 2 Desmond Cup Semis, can't see past Abbeyfeale, beaten NCW Rovers handy twice already this season & you'd have to fancy Rathkeale B to put an end to Glin Bs great run.
I asked the question earlier has a 'B' team ever won the Desmond Cup or even made the final??
what about Askeaton for team of the year 41pts out of a possible 45, 13 wins and 2 draws from their last 15 games with nobody giving them a chance of promotion never mind winning Division 2 after the first 3 games, or do you base on what trophies you win? does anyone know who won the divisional player of the year awards?
i fancy Rathkeale B for the desmond cup
For me anyway its about winning trophies. Askeaton have had a good season getting promoted and beating abbeyfeale in the fai. But you cant say they had a better season than abbeyfeale for rathkeale b
I only saw in the paper 2 weeks ago that Seoirse Joyce got premier division player of the year
Darragh Deegan from Kildimo won Division 1 player of the year.
Great to see Desmond officials doing the Munster youth cup final last weekend. It will be Desmond officials again for the Munster junior final also
Feenagh 5 St Ita's 4, Ita's relegated to Division 2.
Abbey 2 carrig 1, excellent wknd for abbey
Abbey will win the treble and deservedly so.
Team of the year has to be between Abbey A and rathkeale B, Askeaton are playing third division a joke for one of the largest towns in west limerick
Ya it's abbeys to loose now in fairness, it looks v tight at the bottom , who will survive?? I seen that pat king is after getting Desmond cup final. I did not realise he was a top premier referee ..
I see that the league is over this weekend. Season wasn't long going by :(
