Is it true that daniel power is signining for liselton, tossy butler for regional and mark doherty for pike/regional? Heard it from a very good source today.:ball:
yeah fair point strange with a man with tommys experience none of the so called big clubs never approached him to manage :ball:Quote:

maybe because he is the biggest mercenary in junior football, the man only has loyalty to one thing €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€Quote:

Was in Newcastlewest friday night and was told that Mark Doherty is signed with Regional and daniel Power is definately signed for Lisselton. Tommy will struggle now with Newcastlewest as Tossie Butler is gone to Regional aswell as some guy McCarthyQuote:

Your a real source of info buddygeary. Daniel off to Fairview most likely and Toss gone also. Mark could end up anywhere.
Well Buddy, did ye play any friendlies yet?
hill celtic 2 newcastle west 1........very good game was up there watching it.....newcastle started the better but hill celtic got bk into it after 15-20 mins........hill celtics players all played very well and the addition of ray massey should help them....he played out of his socks and newcastle couldnt handle his pace or tricks he made newcastle look slow and harmless at the back and people from newcastle said he was nothing to look at he would be a good addition to any team
Ya ray was a good player when he was with feenagh:p What was the NCW team:confused:
ray is still very good player bud..........i think he proved to the newcastle guys that said he wasnt good enough for them very wrong as he had a walk in the park with them couldnt handle him.........hill celtic team is very strong good team that suits ray alot.........few celtic players had a great game sat nite and this team could do well...........celtic missing a few and newcastle missing power not a great loss and mark d was a loss to castle.....good game tho newcastle must not be fully fit as it was only 35 mins a side and they looked to have felt it at the end best of luck to newcastle this season

Askeaton V Broadford Utd (broadford)
Newcastle West V Carrig Celtic (newcastle west)
Glin Rovers V Newcastle West Rovers (draw)

I think the fixture list again this season is a joke. It is the same now for the 4th season running. Typical desmond league living in the past.:mad:
Result: Askeaton 8-1 Broadford
Shannonside 0, Rathkeale 3. (michael Quilligan 3)
Abbey 2, Ballingarry 0
Ncw 1, Carrig celtic 0
how did the games go the weekend??
anyone look impressive.
i see newcastle won 1-0 did they scrape a result or what??
rathkeale 3-0 and quicks scored hat-trick. very good signing.
what about glin what was that result?
we were shockin against rathkeale couldnt pass a ball.
rathkeale outplayed us totally.
quicks is a good signing for rathkeale.
Who played in goals for ye Shannon boy? Or is Chris Hayse giving it another year?Quote:

Ya Glin game was called off pitch flooded they were suppose to play Ncw Rovers. Ncw A will still be very good this season heard Steven Kelly played for them Sunday. Will be a hard team too beat.
quix is a good player and good signing for rathkeale but sure he is out for few weeks now with an knee injury he picked up on sunday..how long will he stay in rathkeale afc for??heard broadford were useless against askeaton..
buddy geary try and predict the results for next sundays games??Quote:

Weekends fixtures, another though ask for Shannonside, and the first real test for Askeaton, Ballingarry is always a tough place to go and get a result.

RESULTS:

Abbeyfeale Utd ? V ? Shannonside 1130 (M. Houlihan)
Newcastle West Rovers 0 V 3 Broadford Utd 1130 (G. O’Connor)
Rathkeale 1 V 1 Newcastle West 1130 (J. Roche)
Carrig Celtic 3 V 1 Glin Rovers 230 (P. Manning)
abbeyfeale 1-0 shannonside.
a draw was def what shannonside deserved from their efforts in this game,abbey hardly threatened, the penalty they got was not a penalty, and shannonside had a dead cert of a penalty claim turned down in injury time.but that's the standard of refereeing we have to deal with in this league.if shannonside had full team out,which they also didn't have last sunday, they would have taken this average abbeyfeale team-
i think its going to be a tough premier division this year..didnt think askeaton wud be good but they are proving everyone in the league that they are no push overs this year with 6 points outta 6...rathkeale v newcastle west was an even enough game..all rathkeale in the first and and newcastle in the second half..draw was a fair result.suprised with broadfords victory against ncw rovers.thought rovers wud beat them but broadford must have had all the footballers there..i thought shannonside wud get a draw against abbeyfeale..carrig beat glin 3-1!!! good result for carrig..are glin title tenders this year?? heard few their players left??? is that true?

ALL MATCHES ON AT 10.30AM OVER THE ALL IRELAND HURLING FINAL
your right the league is going to be there for the taking this season! askeaton have got off to good start and have given themselves every chance of safety and maybe more. yea glin lost few players,one of their strikers went to killeaney???dont know what the appeal would be there-
How are we all doing?
Just a small opinion on the desmond league, The one problem it seems to have is competition with the GAA. You can be lucky and meet a team on Sunday morning with football or hurling championship the same evening and hammer them due to lack of players. Next week they can go out with all their GAA players and do the hammering themselves. You can pick up 3 lucky points if you hit the right Sunday and it does not reflect the quality of the league especially at the begining of the season.
Anyone agree?
