...for anyone interested! Anyone heading to Clounreask Saturday night?? Pike will win handy enough i'd say!

fai junior cup 5th round

Broadford Utd or Killarney Celtic v Griffith Rovers or Hartstown Hunstown FC

villa fc or tramore vs newcastle west

I totally agree with you sexyfootball! By a higher standard, I meant if he ever got the chance to play elsewhere outside Desmond League in City League or whatever - then it would be good for him as he would also improve as a player, better coaching, more exposure, etc. Otherwise, you should play for your hometown club which he loyally does! He is a Top man - all credit to him!!

Fanaticfan - why would he want to play for Broadford or NCW? Glin Rovers could beat either on their day! Granted, consistency is their downfall!

Cos then he would win something if he played for broadford or newcastle. Broadford winning the league last year,title contenders again this year. Newcastle winning cups past few years.Only thing he would win would be a relegation battle

What a stupid post !!! Glin beat NCW a couple of years ago in the desmond cup final and have drawn with both NCW and broadford this year,,, If the likes of culhane left Glin for eithier of clubs mentioned above and other players decided to do so the league would be crap,,,

And they will still finish below those teams at the end of the season trophyless. Yes he won the Desmond cup tWo or three years ago but what else has he won other than the Desmond cup that year???all I'm saying is that he should join a bigger club if he wants to win medals and if not,then fair play to him to staying with glin

tommy culhane a great player for glin and always will be my only issue with him not been so recognoised is how would you know him from any other culhane on the team.i also heard during the week and this is only a rumour that his ambitions are to play with ABBEYFEALE

Where are them clubs from lads?

If broadford win on sunday, they are at home to a team from dublin...
Newcastle are away in waterford

Answers... Abbeyfeale, seriously?? Ah here! I don't think he would ever play for another team in the Desmond League besides Glin.
Its true, as was said in an earlier post, if Glin were more consistent they could challenge for the league, always a tough team, i suppose the GAA doesn't help them either though!

Answers is probably stirring stuff cos I don't believe thats true about Culhane wantin to join abbey. Wouldn't abbey vs glin be a rivalry game?

I'm very sad to hear the passing of granagh and ex ballingarry player Joe scanlon.a good player and a sound bloke. May he rest in rest in piece :(

Very tough asks in the FAI for the Desmond teams....Tramore from waterford....they have been the top team in waterford the last few seasons....and are current leaders

Tragic news, Great player & sound both on & off the field R.I.P

What happened Joe Scanlan lads?? Ya NCW away to tramore will be tough and away to Killarney celtic for broadford isnt easy eithier, Is there many at the Munster champions game Western Gale?

Pike Rovers 4-0 St Brendans Park in Clounreask. Pike dominated whole game, decent crowd at it.

He passed away in a car accident this morning I think it was. Awful sad

Lads joe scanlon was a top bloke on and off the field. sadly missed. r.i.p. can some one please post funeral arrangments when their out. thanks
