Fair goin'....Rovers had just 4 points after 13 games and needed minimum 12/15 points from their last 5 games just to force a playoff and got them....now they may only need a draw with Glin to avoid what seemed like a very likely drop in in April....
Ya fact draper. They went for it in the last few games and got it. And fair play to them.they deserve to stay up
Did james cussen play his underage with newcasatlewest,would a lot of underage players switch to rvs for junior.
ya he played underage with NCW but tought he would have a chance of winning something at youths level with rovers so left in december/jan but NCW ended up winning the desmond cup, and rovers won the league.
Congrats to rathkeale on the league cup !
looks like rovers are in good shape to stay up, some finish to the season for them.
super 6, is it possible that james cussen left to play with a better youth team.
Anyone any news on Desmond cup final???
Killeaney and Glin drew 1-1 in Clounreask this morning relegating Killeaney in the process.
Glin will play NCW rovers next weekend with Glin needing to win and Rovers only needing a draw to avoid relegation.
Munster Council meeting this wednesday night I think to make a decision on Rathkeale's appeal.Quote:

I heard that the Desmond cup final has to be played before the 1st of July or there will no final this year
Thats going to open another can of worms if thats the case, players changing clubs, the whole arguement of A or B players again etc. If they replayed the game a month ago it would be all over now
Rathkeale have lost the appeal in the Munster council so they will probably go to the fai and lose that too. I heard it 7,500 to appeal with the fai so waste of money if you ask me.
I think rathkeale shud leave it at that. The gloss is gone of the desmond cup this season, i've been talking to players from both ballingarry and ncw and there fed up with it all
I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't. When was the last time they played a match?? And both of them training for the final as well. Bit of a joke
i feel soory for both teams but desmond league should have sorted it before now there rules are all over the place and mike hanley havin a bit of an al word to the munster council helps aswell i suppose

You're right. It should be rathkeale reserves and not Newcastle West B
congrats to glin on staying up in the premier, any update on Desmond cup sky-home?
Rathkeale lost because they broke the rules,not sure whether it was Sec. not passing on info or management not knowing rules but all clubs would have known about rules and the same rules apply to st itas b as to rathkeale,your comment about mike hanly is pure sour grapes.Quote:

. No sour grapes just simple facts. Is mike Hanley not involved with Munster council and would he not back the Desmond league if they have messed up i think he would. This so called email about players to play with registered teams only was sent out on the 20th feb when the Desmond cup started on the 17th feb. regardless of this as long as a player is registered with club and not cup tied or suspended they are entitled to play so wit that in mind even abbeyfeale with there 3/4 b team players didn't even do anything wrong. No teams broke rules,Desmond league actually don't have there house in order and don't know there own rules. As the Desmond league have made mistakes with their rules and are constantly back tracking and looking for help to try and fix the problems it keeps falling back to one doorstep THERE OWN. Any one who had ever played Desmond cup should know you could always bring up b players as long as they wer eligible to play. now trying to change that rule after the Desmond cup had started is completely wrong, rules can only be enforced or changed at AGM's and all clubs must be informed 3 weeks in advance of competition not 3 days after it has started. With that shove yer sour grapes where it doesn't shine.Quote:

. Another thing Go look up what an ineligible player actually is its in the rule book. It's a player who is not registered with club or a suspended player is deemed ineligibleQuote:

i agree answers about ballingarry and ncw its bad for them but look they will get there chance reguardless. either rathkeale get back in and play ballingarry or they get a by to the final but pull our necks back in and accept what has happened by the desmond league not a chance of it as we done nothing wrong and also the team which caused all this by appealing ( abbeyfeale ) after they lost the match to rathkeale fair and square taking into account they had 3/4 b players we are now backing them aswell as they also didnt do anything illegal reguarding players. christy purcell and his team of YES men should have sorted this from the begining and not try to shove it under the rug and hope it goes away. its there total and utter **** up which has ruined this years desmond cupQuote:

. FAI anyway the appeal should go by Friday. Not sure on the cup I think if it goes past July it's played before the start of next season but I'm not 100% on thatQuote:

I think it would be quiet foolish for ratkeale to go to fai with this as they have no chance of winninig, it quiet clearly states in rule book that b players can not play with a team in desmond cup, now let that be right or wrong its in the rules and thats what fai will make decision on so my advice would be save yer money and put it to better use in the club.
I agree with southern kid. If they lost to the Desmond league and Munster council, I don't think they will win against the fai.. they should put the money to good use like doing up the dressing rooms. They have great facilities down apart from the dressing rooms.
the main expenses are the legal fees i might be wrong here but isnt the main reason there in this mess due to a solicitors stag sure wouldnt dat cover most of costs. rathkeale in my opinion are overplaying this as every team got screwed by the desmond leagues poor decision to implement the rule a week after the first round. on the dressing rooms hang up a toilet door for crying out loud in the visiting dressing rooms not goin to break the bank
You are right Southern Kid about the idea of the rule, teams should just be limited to the amount of players who are regraded and players who have started a certain amount of games shouldnt be allowed to be regraded, they should try and stop A team players regrading rather than A team players, after all thats what a B team is there for. Rathkeale should just accept it and move on I think, its getting tedious. On the dressing rooms, they really need a good cleaning, and a toilet door, but to be fair the home dressing room is not a whole pile better but at the end of the day they are better than what NCW rovers or Adare or Kildimo have to offer. If only everyone had dressing rooms like broadford
Ya true Nathan brown.last time i was in the away dressing rooms were a while back and should be cleaned up.all the money they are spending on the appeal could pay for all that. Dunno what's the story with the toilet door, is there no toilet door or something
