The Desmond Cup would be the big one alright skyhome - I see what your saying about being registered and taking part in your own league/league cup campaigns but when you are lining out 2 teams the club will have to spread the players more than if they had one team so instead of potentially having 20+ players in your squad you have 15/16 maybe - if you are missing a few due to weddings and events its only right that players registered in your club who are getting games with the second team should be allowed to fill in.

Rathkeale renamed their B team this year Rathkeale Reserves and to be fair that's what B teams should be seen as - a team where young lads coming up can start out - where fellas moving towards the end of a career can get a run out on a Sunday but your first team should always be maintained and the full pool of players registered in the club are there to do that

in fairness your dead right with ur arguments there langerdan007

the problem seems to be that most teams this year wasn't aware what you can and cant do regards using b team players in what competitions, you have to feel sorry for any club punished for this as i would blame the clowns who implement the rules at meetings without taking into mind the way the country's gone with players leaving every week. i can see this turning into a joke on the league. best of look also to all involved in the division one run hopefully athea can get up as i don't think too many clubs will fancy travelling down to tog out on the side of the road or if the ball goes over the wall in rock hill you wait 15 minutes to get it back.

"the clowns who implement the rules" actually answers the clubs vote on the rules so you cant really blame the committee for doing there job.

from what i gathered was the rule was always there but on amending rule book they came across this and decided on informing clubs on it after the first round of the cup had started giving clubs no chance to form a decent club team in January. now if that's not bad decision making by a committee for the "main cup" what is.

Rovers beat Abbey 2;1 tonight in Knockaderry.
That leaves everyone with 2 games left,

Glin 13pts
Killeaney 12pts
NCW Rovers 10pts.

Whos' goin' down lads?

yup rover 2-1 abbeyfeale... abbey went 1-0 up and few minutes later dara barrett levelled for rovers, rovers got the winner through jason brouder

im gonna guess rovers and killeaney for the drop

two good youths matches at headquaters this evening.ncw afc v breska and ncw rovers v abbeyfeale.

Congratulations to Newcastlewest on winning the Premier League last night, 2-0 v Ballingarry. The first was a 35yd rocket from James Quaid which flew into the top corner off the underside of the crossbar. The second was an unfortunate miskick by Brian Fitzgerald from a cross by Mike Quilligan. 2-0 at halftime. NCW could have added a couple more after the break but good keeping by Kenrick from Power twice and a goalline clearance by Colm Kiely from Kevin O'Shea's good strike kept the score down. In truth Ballingarry offered very little going forward and had only a few half chances to give Murphy problems. Ncw are worthy Champions.

went to see the youths league cup final between abbeyfeale and ncw rovers tonight.some great football played especially by rovers,they won 3 0.ncw afc had big win also winning 6 0.

glin rovers 3-0 rathkeale John a Culhane, Padraig Costello and Gary Culhane the scorers for glin
ncw vs killeaney OFF

rockhill and athea won so both teams are promoted to the premier division next year. rockhill beat kildimo 1-0 thanks to donal deadys goal for rockhill. athea beating breska 4-0 i think

Some implosion from Kildimo in fairness from being miles clear to not even getting promoted?!

You at the game fanatic?! Conditions as bad as ever over there - Rockhill much the better in the first half but sat back in the 2nd - lucky one or two balls didnt drop against them but deserved the win overall

ya was at it alright langerdan007.conditions were terrible,id say few teams in the premier division will be happy kildimo arent promoted with the facilities kildimo have. athea have great pitch and dressing rooms so deserve to be in the premier next year.. playoff for the title next week in clounreask i think

Your right I doubt many tears will be shed at them missing out - you'd have to have a shower after standing over there today never mind playing - the playoff should be interesting both can go for it as promotion is assured - Rockhill had a bit of a shuffle today as well the two boys up front arent their usual front men and their regular goalie was on the line - they run all over you in midfield though

Unreal, Kildimo had 34/36 possible points after 12 games and dont even get up....great to see Athea up, great facilities and sound crowd too. Rockhill is a trek but I think they have dressingrooms now could somebody confirm?
Kildimos dressingroom is a ditch by a narrow road as you listen to the hometeam studs clob-e-de-clob up the road from the parochial hall

kildimo were miles ahead at one stage but when you get only 4 points out of your last 15points in the league you dont deserve to go up.fair play to both teams for coming back into it and getting promoted. ya rockhill have dressing rooms all right.they play in the school pitch which have dressing rooms..how did ye get on this morning draper

just heard on the radio that abbeyfeale keeper billy quirke and knockaderry keeper scored in their games today.. deadly stuff

Ever since they signed the new striker from limerick league they went backwards.. Can't have been easy see a lad walk onto the team after all the hard work was done before Xmas by others

who was the player they signed from the limerick league and what team did he sign from?

Great to see athea in prem,the last time i played there it was an awful pitch with a corner in it that you would get lost in but by all accounts things have improved so congrats on all accounts.

one of the best facilites in the league. great dressing rooms and pitch and great astro turf as well

Are you talking about the Buckley lad playing up front second?!
As I understand he's been around Kildimo a long time but lives away

Only heard today about abbeys objection against ratkeale,can some one just clarify if abbeyfeale objected over loosing to a very much depleted ratkeale team who played a b player or 2,not a lge of ireland player but a b player,if true its very petty and i kno rules are rules but if ur beat on pitch dat shud be it especially in the case of a B player playing. one time the A team always had choice of club players once they were not cup tied and former chairman said it was a grey area a number of seasons by the club i was involved with. i heard ratkeale were going to take this one all the way due to some email that was sent after cup had started stating rule..

I think we'll all agree that if Abbey won there'd have been nothing heard about this rule!
As I understand it the issue is B players filling in
As I've said above already its ludicris that a club cannot pick from their full pool of players to fulfill a cup tie when the player is not cup tied
I hadn't heard fanatic that Abbey won the objection - shur if Rathkeale appeal as expected the Desmond Cup will be set back weeks!

@Second - Haha, big bucks, is that where the dressing room fund went to!? I dunno if you could draw any conclusion on how/why they fell away so badly - I doubt they know themselves

Big call from the league! Presume Rathkeale are going to the Munster council!

well the rules about playing a b player in the cup are there so can't see rathkeale been left back in but have to say i think abbey should have sucked it up and taken the loss.replacing an A player with a B player doesn't make your team stronger so abbey in my opinion were beaten fair and square.even if they win the cup now i think it won't be the same.the gloss would be taken off it a little.

I don't know will they though, they did break the rules like... as stupid a rule as it may seem id say the league had no choice!!
With regards to going to the Munster Council that will only draw out the season longer and may cost Rathkeale a few quid in the process!

both teams abbey and rathkeale thrown out. and i dont think rathkeale broke the rules as the rule doesnt exist.17 teams in all leagues didnt get any notice about some rule change reguarding b players not being allowed plays for a teams in cup competions. abbey lost the match, and from what i heard today desmond league doesnt have a leg to stand on. rathkeale to win the appeal i think. i feel sorry for newcastle west now having to wait so long for the final to come around

You're right on the cost - to appeal a red card/suspension i'm reliably informed its €250 a pop
It'd be worth the cost to hear an official high level line on whether a club registered player that isnt cup tied should be allowed to play - this isnt the league cup - squad registration shouldn't come into it for me, only whether you've played in the cup previously with another team be it a B team or otherwise

i agree with what everyone has said but i suppose rules are rules. so abbeyfeale dont get the game and rathkeale and abbeyfeale are out is it???? so its ballingarry and newcastle west in the final??
