3rd Round Draw
A v B
D v C

Did many turn out for OT trial last Wednesday night?

By all accounts a good showing..Cussen(NCW) Gallagher(Ballysteen) played quiet well as did a striker from kildimo..are the rumours true that Rathkeale and Abbeyfeale are refusing to play under the current management??

Just back from holidays. Was talking to Brian at the Kildimo Pallas match. Abbeyfeale had a challenge but are sending a few and Rathkeale have a few interested but couldn't make it on the night. Two nashs. Danny Neville and Keith hartnett I think he said.
Had around 17-18 on the night

Whats gone wrong lads have ye all gone away on holidays?, i'm just back

Some big wins today for top teams.. how did the challenge go in limerick last week for Oscar traynor? What was team/panel does any know.

How did the Oscar traynor team do v abbeyfeale last nite?

Hammered but had a fairly weak team due to injury and gaa I think.

Ok hopefully Oscar traynor team can push on from that as the group games won't be long coming around.. I see fai draw was made hopefully desmond league teams will progress after last week's hammering from outside teams.. big game in abbeyfeale tomorrow night. I seen dingle last year and was v impressed with them, should be a quality game. Best of luck to the home side.. also some interesting leave games the weekend.i think ratkeale will push all the way this year..

Desmond league trialists are taking on ourselves in clounreask tonight at 7-45. Will get the their team and post afterwards

Who is ourselves Bllistinianlad ?

Desmond league 5-1 Ballysteen AFC
There team was. S.Lynch. K.Foster C.Cummane B.Lynch T.Quilligan G.Kelly K.Hartnett V.Mambuana R.Brouder S.Joyce A.Smith. Subs G.Garvey J.Purcell J.Page. M.Quilligan D.Neville. Scorers were Joyce X 2. Mambuana. Kelly. Garvey.

Good game. We prob could have gotten another. But they missed a hat load of chances.

No disrespect to Ballysteen but why is our inter-league team playing a Division II team? They surely could have gotten a better/ tougher fixture?
Hope it has set them up up in some way for their 3 group games.

Group C - Limerick, Kerry, Desmond, West Cork

Match Day 1
Desmond V West Cork

Match Day 2
Kerry v Desmond

Match Day 3
Limerick v Desmond


Match Day 1 On or before 5th/6th November
Match Day 2 On or before 26th/27th November
Match Day 3 On or before 7th/8th January

No disrespect taken sexyfootball lol. I think there playing Clare next week. That would be a much better indication of how they will shape for the group I would imagine.

Preview for this weekend's Limerick Desmond League games.

Ballistinianlad it's good to see someone keeping this forum going anyway, thanks for the update on the Oscar Traynor.
Some going... they're gonna go from playing a Div II Desmond League team to playing the current Interleague All Ireland Champions... that'll be interesting - have they a date/ venue? Wouldn't mind seeing them play.

Good win for Abbey in Munster Champions Cup last weekend. Nenagh Celtic away in semi so they have a decent chance of making the final. Important win too given how poorly the previous weekend went for DL sides in the FAI Junior. Ballingarry should progress at home tomorrow v Shannom Olympic you'd imagine.

Think it's Wednesday in clounreask but il ask the manager tomorrow.

Ya great win for abbey and by all accounts the better team with 10 men for over an hour.i c fixtures for weekend.the pick of the games glin v ncw rovers.also tough trip to knockdown for abbey.killeaney always do well against them.. as regards the Oscar traynor is think it's pointless playing division 2 teams or even prem teams to be honest unless it's pike or boro etc. U need to play at higher level to c can u compete at that level. Also that team that played other night is poor enough with the quality players in league..no dis recept to players but I think there is better quality out there.. is date for first game fixed yet?

There's Defo one or two who didn't look to be of a high enough standard in my opionon. Lack of interest from abbeyfeale apparently seemingly. Think there's a couple more from Rathkeale to come though. And Quaid was missing too

Alot of work into that Shearer fair play, very comprehensive!

On a more worrying note heard Newcastle West are in trouble, didn't have enough numbers for the match against Athea Sunday.
Hope they sort it out soon or else they'll be in big trouble.

Jesus. Does anyone know when the last time Newcastle west were not in the top division?
There B team had 10 subs against Pallaskenry in a cup game.

Great to see a start-up going about things in the right way, with quality well-researched content.

Yeah they are.

Do you know any more of why or what happened ? I know they were roping players together to fulfill fixtures last year but heard nothing since, just no sign of them on the tables.

Not sure of the ins and outs of it but I know that they couldn't get a team together this year.

Was anyone at the glin abbey match. Heard it was some craic

Old Mill were struggling to field a side for the last couple of seasons and after back to back relegations it was kind of inevitable they would fold. Always a pity to see a club go. Fisticuffs a plenty at that Abbey v Glin game last weekend apparently.
