Division 2
Breska Rovers 0 Rathkeale B 2
After looking at todays results the premier division is too close to call but I think that Rathkeale will prevail. In the first division I think that Killeaney will get through if they win their home games and beat Feenagh on Tuesday evening away. Rathkeale B had a good win away today and could get promotion ahead of a Kilcolman side who seem to be going off the boil. Big surprise in the 3rd div.Lge Cup with Creeves going out, so I think it's probably a Granagh Utd. chance there to win it. The div.3 playoff game going to Broadford Utd. B was a surprise to me but I would expect that both Creeves Celtic and Granagh Utd. would both win and get promoted with Granagh Utd. eventually claiming the title.
I doubt you would be tipping Rathkeale A to win the premier if you saw the display they put on yesterday. It would be safe to say 'the worst i have ever seen'. But well done to NCW they played some good football yesterday and it's safe to say the title race is wide open now.

Hi boggom, if you click here there's a list of all Desmond League games I've covered over the last 2 seasons.
Antone have any news from the meeting last night about the proposed changes to the league structure ?
I haven't heard anything but i hope to god that they leave it alone. Would make the league a right farce. Its tough to get off to a winning start with players still involved in Gaa and if you don'tget results from your first few league games then your out of the running
Seems like a really short list of fixtures for the weekend starting the 7th of May. Anyone know when the League cup finals (1st division in particular) are on?
I heard of a different proposal to cut the top few leagues down to 8 teams. It would mean 3 being relegated and 1 going up. Obviously it would be the season after next but I for one think its not a bad idea at all. Can anyone tell me if this was discussed at the meeting Mon night. It might make the leagues more competitive and less games is always a bonus especially with the amount of cup competitions.
they shud just leave the league the way it is...messing with the league will only make it worse
Anyone know the score of Killeaney v Fennagh match supposed to be played last night.
FEENAGH 0 KILLEANEY 2. It's on the league website under STANDINGS
Killeaney 3 Abbeyfeale Utd. B 1
Glantine 4 Athea Utd.0
Kilcolman 1 Knockaderry 0
Cheers lads :eek:

It's very interesting in Div.2. Does anyone know who Pallaskenry, Kilcolman and Rathkeale have left to play? Carrig Celtic relegated today but no doubt they will be eager to make a quick return next year. Sometimes teams need to go down to improve and they have the nucleus of a decent side there, particularly as their youths had a fine season this year.

Its NCW's title now. They can slip back to 2nd gear and still win it handy...
i wouldnt say that right now....ncw are playing away to broadford A this sunday and they are in form until they lost at home to ballingarry last sunday week..carrig relegated to div 1 but i can see them coming straight back up next year.same with ballingarry who are more likely to be relegated soon.killeaney on the verge of being promoted to the premier once again with great pitch and dressing rooms.2nd place in the 1st division could be anyones
