Kennedy Cup 2007

The Limerick Desmond Schoolboys League won the Kennedy Plate on Friday when beating Kilkenny in a nerve wrecking 8-7 pen shoot out win after the sides finished 1-1 aet. This is a fantastic achievement considering we were seeded third in our group behind Dundalk and Kerry. The Desmond boys went through the group unbeaten and without the concession of a goal after their three games v Kerry (0-0), Dundalk (2-0) and Wicklow (3-0). In the Kennedy Cup Q/F we were up against kingpins DDSL and apart from the opening ten minutes we gave as good as we got before losing 2-0. Defeated West Cork
2-0 in the Plate S/F before getting the better of Kilkenny in the Plate final.
A brilliant tournament with Limerick Desmond now ranked number five in the country

KDSL win any matchs?

All the results:

Yeah that was 2002, spent most of it sitting on the feckin bench! Was a good week though. My little bro was down there with Wexford last year, they got on a bit better than us - won their group, lost 2-0 to DDSL in quarter-final + ended up coming 8th. Disappointing to seethe lads only get 19th place this year.

Is the Wexford team Wexford Youths or a representative team of the Wexford league?

It's representative of the Wexford League.

Wexford Youths only have an adult team and an U21 team. Mick is also over the Wexford U18's, but it's a representative side like any other league, and not a club.

What do the other Desmond supporters out there think?

Anyone read Target on The Star on Tuesday about the Kennedy Cup?

Big Four!!:D Donegal beat Waterford on penalties in the TPPO.

In fairness over the years they are the big 3. This particular Donegal are an ok team, every year one of the other leagues always has a good run, ie NDSL last year but no other years of simular success unfortunately.

hey. im proud 2 say i was a referee dwn in d kennedy cup dis year. best match of the week had to b limerick desmond and cork. it was absolute class. wen desmonds played ddsl dey had 4gotten evryting 4m d cork game. dey werent d same side at all. dere defence was poor, and d penalty was stupid 2 giv away.

i jst realised i made a mistake wit dat comment above. d cork game wasnt desmonds, it was limerick district. so many games i cnt remember who played wat ne mre.

Didnt Donegal win the U/12 inter league comp in 2006, therefore it wasnt surprising that they did so well in the Kennedy Cup

Donegal did win the cashen cup. But to confirm if they were a strong team they needed to at least get to the Kennedy cup final, otherwise they just got lucky at u12's. They also won the cashen cup because the DDSL got knocked out on penalties in the semis by Waterford. Im not saying they wouldnt have beaten the DDSL, but as they haven't actually faced them over the last two seasons they technically are what I have stated in my other comment.

Can we have that in plain english please. No text speak please.

fair enuf. in english:
donegal got lucky in the kenndy cup because of the group they got. carlow were nothing, athlone only played one decent game in the hole tournament- and lost that game to donegal, where they should've won it well- and then drogheda shouldnt be allowed back next year because of how bad they were. donegal had an easy group, if they didnt get out it would've been bad on their part.

happy now
