With rathkeale,rovers and broadford losing players I can't see them beating abbeyfeale to the trophies. Ncw afc will probably be the same as last year (didn't hear if they brought in players or lost players) Ballingarry and shannonside mid table as usual. Glin and kildimo and killeaney probably fighting relegation.
Surely that can't be true, one person cannot influence everything? They would have a vote or something at both clubs, if majority of both teams wanted to join then so be it??Quote:

If any team will improve upon last season it will be Newcastle West AFC, always had the ability to sign good players! It's had to say anything this early though, teams haven't even started pre-season yet.
Rathkeale were back last Sunday morning, had 7 players and I think I heard Keith Hartnett took the training.
Friday 21st August i heard the league was starting up again, how true that is i do not know sexyfootball
Cheers Shoot, I think it was around that time last season too. Friday, Sunday, Friday, Sunday... or was it just the 1 Friday first day out?Quote:

Imagine the fixtures will be pretty similar to last season, with the relegated teams replaced by the promoted teams, If that's the case Abbeyfeale will play NCW Rovers & Rathkeale first 2 games!!
Heard Rovers wwere back training last nightQuote:

I'd say bit early for friendlies. Only some teams back training
Aj O Connor and James Cussen gone from Rovers to Fairview?? Have been training with them since pre season started but heard they are "wanted" and are staying inside for next season
Fair play to them, no harm giving it a shot. Any other news floating around the league?
Its the under teams that are joining together, not the junior teamsQuote:

Broadford have lost big names and with some leaving mid season last year will be hard to get them back now that more have left.
Rovers need to add especially now after losing two good players, if they want to win the league because I do think they have a good chance .
Haven't heard anything from Abbey?
Glin, Kildimo and Killeaney will battle it out for relegation.
Who are the players ballingarry signed?
One or two from Adare, think Barry O Callaghan is one, and one or two from town don't know who they are. New managers also in Ballingarry, Gary Shanahan and Dermot Costello
Rovers playing friendly at home against Holycross Sat at 7pm
I heard ray lynch and Marty Foley are staying with Broadford
Was talking to marty last week definitely with charleville this year they are back training since end of JuneQuote:

How did Rovers get on in their friendly Saturday evening? Ballingarry were winning 2:0 against Corbalky Sunday when I left with about 10 minutes to go.
Dunno if its true or not, only saying what i heard, i heard rovers won 5-1. Joyce got 2 eoin murphy 1 and tony quaid with 2. Looks like he is gone to Rovers if he played in the game and scored two goals
We will see in the coming weeks. Rovers will be very strong if they get Quaid but he went to shannonside for a few matches last year so that's probably not set in stone yet either. Great signing if he stays though
