Limerick Desmond League 2010/11

All very touchie girls down that end of West Limerick on this site lately.....

Time of the month :p

Anyone know when league cup draws are to be made and started ?

Dont know that.
Heard the Oscor youths beat Shannonside 3-1 tonight.I assume it was on in Askeaton,Clounreask.Peter Nash (Rathkeale) and a Brian Hanigan got two.Who does he play for?

Was at the game last nite.....how Shannonside are top of the table is beyond me. They were outplayed by a bunch of kids. The Youths played much the better football, trying to keep the ball on the deck at all times wheras shannonside resorted to too many hoofed balls.

Noted earlier in the thread someone was advocating charging admission to Desmond League games, but what spectator facillities do Desmond League clubs have ?
Are Rathkeale the only club to have a covered stand (or is it more of a covered terrace ?), aware Newcastlewest ground is enclosed within the Demense but does it have a stand ?

A number of clubs have covered stands or something to that effect. Newcastle, Glin, Rathkeale, Killeaney all have more than adequate stands. And even in the first division the likes of Carrig and Ballingarry have stands too.

As a NCW man, I would agree with you. Old dressing rooms but at least there is something there. Pitch is top notch thats all you need. Plus a covered stand which is a great thing to have at the club. Now lets see if Rathkeale can hold up against a strong Carrick side!!!!!

Carrig and Ballingarry (Div 1) and Kilcornan (Div 2) are clubs outside the premier that have stands while Askeaton have a decent stand too which in this type of weather is well appreciated

Facilities are improving all the time, Rathkeale, NCW, Ballingarry, Glin, Kileaney, Broadford, Askeaton, Carrig all have covered areas for spectators, half of them are seated. People are missing the point of charging €3, just €3 at the gate, its a way of desmond league supporters to support their local club in a small way. GAA clubs are around for 125 years, most soccer clubs are around only 20 years, only emerging the last 10. A lot of soccer clubs are passing out their local GAA counterparts in terms of facilities and charging €3, just €3 at the gate is a way of showing pride in your facilities, not selling yourself short.
Someone else said they thaught it was a disgrace St Bens were charging at the gate as they are in Div 4 with poor facilities, I say fair play to St Bens for doing it, it only pays the ref, the revenue is small but local people can support their local club and keep the whole thing going. Is €3 measley euro not okay to charge for all the work people do on and off the pitch to keep a small football club running?

Beaten 3 0,all goals scored in first half

Carrick united proved again they are a classy side with a good performance against this afternoon.. Took the 2nd half handy after being 3-0 up at half time

Went to see Newcastle west play granagh this
Morning in munster junior cup.. Great game played by Newcastle but the man of the match had to be the granagh keeper who saved a penalty and pulled off 5 or 6 magnificent saves to keep the scoreline down
