There could indeed, and a serious A / first eleven if it all lines up, exciting. Will miss the derbies though, yeah.
Could this new hybrid super beast have too much for Desmond League full stop in time ?
Looking at Nenagh gone to LDMC for example.

I don't know about that but i'd say they're hoping that something along those lines could happen - huge numbers underage at the moment by all accounts so possibly in a few years time you wouldn't know... but it'll be a LONG way away yet if anything like that were to happen!
Athea United giving a walkover to Carrig Celtic in the League Cup is a disgrace.
Ballingarry's season is all over already sadly.
Meanwhile in Woodfield....
I'm curious why you have have the odd dig at Rovers Shearer, considering your an Itas man and they've let ye use there pitch a couple of times this season
I don't recall a previous dig at Newcastle West Rovers to be honest. I've dozens of articles from last season where I've both praised and criticised them, just pointing out what I see at present. They got 10 points from their first five games and have fallen off the mark a lot since then, culminating in a 5-0 loss to Rathkeale.
I don't show any allegiance on here, I just call it how I see it.
I think it's good to have a bit of 'banter' on this instead of the usual stuff!!

In fairness to Shearer he did a great job last season with his reports and predictions; bar The Weekly Observer & the facebook page the league isn't overly visible in social media.

He's right too; Rovers seem to be having a case of the 'Ballingarrys' or vice versa!!
Abbey are the team to stop on all domestic fronts this season... there could be treble ahead?!

Shearer’s Hot Takes from this weekend:
A handy Hogan Cup for Pallaskenry it would seem. Ferry will be lost in a pitch the size of Clounreask.
Nothing seems to phase Abbeyfeale United. Mowing through everyone, much like Newcastle West AFC.
Rathkeale closing the curtains on Broadford’s season with a 2-0 League Cup win.
Damn Glin Rovers, back at it again with the three points. Another W for them, they're cracking season rolls on.
No games fixed for Friday week either which seems strange given the backlog of fixtures.
Football championship on this weekend and following weekend I think , will affect clubs to varying degrees especially what day games are on . It even varies year on year depending on what set up football clubs have , The likes of Shannonside , Athea, Bally rovers , Ballysteen amongst the more impacted this year .
Shouldn't overly bother top clubs in premier
Oh so there's no games because of the football. Don't think the football would do that because soccer would be on.

Big weekend ahead for ballingarry, I see they are playing ratkeale(who i think will win league)on Sunday and if they beat them they have a right chance of competing right down to final wk and could go on to win it..also if broadford was to pick up full points against teams above them they would be right back in too...could be v interesting few wks ahead..
Big weekend for Ballingarry yes but even bigger for Rathkeale (who I also think will win the league). Rathkeale vs Broadford Friday evening and Ballingarry vs Rathkeale Sunday. Two huge games for them in less than 48 hours.
Broadford still in with a chance too for the title but have to win tomorrow evening.
This weekend will define who Abbeys challengers for the title is!
Shannonside picked up an important point against Glin the weekend. They have fit footballers for the rest of the season now with the football on its break.
Yes I agree it's big wknd for ratkeale but if dey were to get 4 points out of the wknd I think it would be great result and still have enough to win it but if either bgarry or broadford were to drop point against them I'd feel that there chance was gone..only my opinion but who knows in football...
