I give Rathkeale a great chance if they have a proper keeper tonight. Last Sunday they had Richie Shorten replaced late on by Sean O'Shea between the sticks, and between the two of them you wouldn't have a keeper, through no fault of their own. Peter O'Dea has also filled in there recently but he'd be a huge loss in defence. Roche will be a big loss for Abbeyfeale. Either way it should be a good game and best of luck to all involved.
Ya best of luck to both teams tonight..it should be a cracking game.I think it will be a very close game with only a goal or maybe penalties only separating the sides..hopefully there will be a crowd at it to witness a great game..
Is it true that rathkeale won 3-1 tonight?? Great result for the current Desmond cup champions..into another Desmond cup!! Anyone got any info from the game??
Yes it's true and thoroughly deserved. Awful first half with few chances created. 2nd half Rathkeale took over and Peter Nash scored after ball hit crossbar and post. Later Thomas Quilligan took a quick free and caught the Abbey keeper offguard. 2-0 to Rathkeale. With about 10 mins. left Abbeyfeale hit the post with Ollie Byrnes well beaten and from the ensuing corner Abbeyfeale scored with a great header. Game on with lots of time left. However a great pass from Damian Quaid sent substitute Steven Power away and after beating three defenders slotted the ball home. Great performance
Sounds like a good game(well second half) so...was there many there to watch it??hope the league make a nice bit of money from both semi final games..
Rathkeale were miles better than Abbey last night and well worth their 2 goal winning margin.
Rathkeale B took the lead in the second desmond cup semi final and held this lead until half time but newcastle west have come and now lead 3 1

Does anybody know the date for the Desmond Cup Final this year I know they like to have it after the league is wrapped up will it be the same his year?
Set for Friday 27th May. Originally for the following night but the Champions League final on then. Rathkeale must be favourites on the semi's performances but who knows? Iheard that Glin were 4-0 up after 20 mins today against Askeaton who had just the bare 11. Some result and really opens up the relegation battle. I'm not going to hazard a guess who will go down but I reckon it won't be decided until the last ball has been kicked.Quote:

Relegation battle is wide open now.
Askeaton look to be in serious trouble, I'd say they will go down along with Killeaney.
The pitches and the facilities will be a loss be a loss to premier.

I don't agree with you there, Killeaney should beat Adare on Friday night and possibly get another on Sunday. Glin could also pick up a point over the weekend and I don't reckon either Askeaton or Adare are capable of getting too many points from their remaining games. So Glin and Killeaney could both survive at the expense of Askeaton and Adare Utd.Quote:

For Div 4 both, these sides play pretty good football and I would expect a decent game. The youths match on Sat. will be a tight affair and I expect Abbeyfeale to prevail eventually. Having said that Broadford have some nice young players and it could go all the way. Best of luck to all concerned and please go and support all your teams.

Heard there was a massive crowd in askeaton for the carrig b versus athea b in the league cup..heard there was hundreds at it.. Went watching the Newcastle v shannonside game.. Good entertaining game. Draw probably fair result..Gary Shanahan scored twice for ncw and Hanlon and o Connor scored for shannonside..great second goal by shanahan..league is in abbeyfeales hands to lose now..5 points behind with 2 games in hand. Other premier game between rathkeale and ncw rovers finished 1-1 I think
Athea were probably the better team overall on the night, first half was poor but after half time athea had three great chances but didnt take them, carrig winner came from a corner that the keeper dropped, a great time to score
