I reckon we'd be better off without the distraction of a long cup run, last year we coped because we had a great start to the season and were never really likely to through away promotion but this year priority has got to be survival first and foremost. Well within our capabilities but we probably need a good start again.Quote:

Bansha on the other hand were missing about 7 players and still thrashed out a win.
Their second game came last sunday morning and got off to a bad start with two dubious penalty's being awarded to the visitors Vee Rovers inside ten minutes. This left Bansha with a mountain to climb and as the game progressed they came back very strong and were unlucky not to score with a succession of attacks in the first half.
The second half was hardly 10 minutes old when Bansha grabbed one back and a second was not long in following but the elusive winner avoided them and it finished 2-2. A good battling performance from Bansha who were yet again missing 6-7 key members of the team. They should hold their own this year but that's about it i'd say.
Has anyone any news on other pre season games?

Btw,I gave the upcoming fixtures their own thread in this Forum.
The new season kicks off next Tuesday night.
It's kicks off with a bang with a great local derby match Peake V Two-Mile-Borris......Now that is a game to watch. Haven't heard much pre-season banter about any of the clubs. Noel Byrne is back at Peake so I'm presuming that there will be an influx of players there, and I'm sure we'll see a few new faces and possibly old one's at that, not 100% sure if Dermot Finnan is back as Manager but haven't heard otherwise. Two-Mile-Borris have a few players back from their travels..namely Ken Ryan and Martin Darmody so they will be a welcome addition to Borris.
A GAME TO WATCH !
my prediction to how prem league will finish
1 clonmel town
2. michaels
3 peake
4. oldbridge
5. borris
6. clonmel celtic
7. Cahir Park
8. Bansha Celtic
9. Nicholas s
is there only 8 teams in tipp premier league??Quote:

Town dropped 1st points since last year, they had to come from 2-0 down to get a draw at the Complex in a great league opener against Kenny O' Shea's Clonmel Celtic. Cahir and Bridge settle for a point and Dermot Finnan and Noel "Bub" Byrne's Peake Villa take points in Newhill in a lackluster affair with Padraig "Foggy" Fogarty getting the winner on his return to Peake Villa after a season with Saints.
A disapointing opener from Town last night. Conceded 2 early goals before they woke up and realised they were in a game. Celtics second goal was a peach- inch perfect cross to the back post and Steven Ryan stole in and buried a header. Town missed Barnesy's creative spark in the middle and the defense looked creaky without Shanners, Goggsy and Landers. Moroney led the line well and slotted the peno with ease. Definetly room for improvement though. Looking like the league may be a more competitive affair this year. Anyone have the scorers from the Cahir/Bridge game????
villa look to be back in form,won easily in borris,could be in the shake up.about timeQuote:

Whack's second was a peach into the top corner from 25 odd yards!! Anyone know the Michaels/Bansha result?? Not on the website as of yetQuote:

Bansha missing 7 first team starters will not be too bad this year dispite poor start, Michaels are sound defensively but will struggle with no strikers worth talking about to get them goals!
Benny Ryan was the other scorer for Cahir!!Quote:

It's starting to look all too familiar and even only two games gone this season. Saints and Town with impressive results again. One wonders is there anyone out there that will make even the slightest of challenges for these two again this year. Peake and Nicholas game was postponed, Nicholas couldn't field a team. I find this un-acceptable at TSDL Premier League level, that on their first game of the new season they couldn't field team !
Does anyone know if points would go to Peake on this occasion or would the game be replayed :confused:
