Yep it's great. All clubs should have a website in my opinion.Quote:

FAI Junior Cup Round 3
Ennis Town v Killarney Ath.
Killarney Celtic v Coole FC
Castleisland FC v Newcastle West Town FC
Carrig Celtic v Kilcornan FC
Fenit Samphires FC v Lifford
Bridge Utd v Ballingarry FC
Shannon Hibs FC v Windmill Utd
Shannon Town FC v Creeves Celtic or Pallaskenry FC
Adare Utd v Granagh Utd.
St. Brendans Park v Shannon Olympic FC
Avenue Utd v Broadford United
Kildysart Celtic or Manus Celtic v Rathkeale FC
Ties to be played weekending 20th October 2019
Avenue is a sticky one for Broadford. They're second in the league but are seemingly always at the business end. Rathkeale beat them at home last year.
Shannon Town got to the last 8 in the 2017/18 edition of the competition, while Castleisland knocked out Newmarket Celtic last week.
Munster Cup
Glin Rovers 2 Kilcornan 1
Premier Division
Adare 1: 5 Rathkeale
Kilcornan 3:3 Broadford
Granagh 1: 2 Ballingarry
Kilcornan got another good result yesterday drawing at home to broadford. Anyone at it?
Wasnt there but spoke to someone who was. He's Kilcornan, said they were very even in first half, both teams got sloppy goals. He said broadford were much better for 30 minutes of the 2nd half and went 3-1 up. Kilcornan got 2 late goals and missed a great chance to win it. Kilcornan were missing 4 starters. Cathal Downes was the only sub and you'd imagine he'd usually start. They must be strong. I'd like to see them do well
Was at rathkeale game Sunday in Adare... rathkeale welcoming a Division 1 team to the Premier !!! All the top teams dropping points early makes for a better league ... the late finish telling for the big teams with no pre season
Sunday 27th October
Kerry League V Limerick Desmond League, 2PM, Tralee.
Tuesday 5th November
Limerick Desmond League V Limerick District League, Mick Hanley Park, 7:30PM
Rathkeale are at home to Dunmanway Town of West Cork in the Quarter Final of the Munster League Champions Trophy.
Dunmanway have a win and a loss in the league and beat Killavilla United 3-2 away from home in the first round of the competition.
How did the Oscar traynor match go
They drew nil all with kerry. Any reports on it? Or what the starting 11 was?
Team was as follows (apologies if I mixed up the two Murphys):
Desmonds could have very well lost 2-0 or even won 1-0, but they will definitely take a point. Not the most exhilarating of games, Desmond very solid at the back but I don't think they tested the Kerry keeper enough. Had one brilliant chance in the last five to win.Quote:
GK. Mike Stack.
RB. Cormac Roche
CB. Joe McAuliffe
CB. Sean O'Shea
LB. Alan O'Shea
CM. Gary Enright
CM. John Hayes
CAM. Fiachra Cotter.
RW. Kevin Murphy.
CF. Darren Murphy.
LW. Tim Larkin
Substitutes used: Jamie Keane, Pa Ahern and Dylan Kelly.
Very poor turnout from both camps. There was maybe 12 from the Desmond League and not much more from Kerry, can't understand it. Had the ambience of a pre-tournament friendly.
Limerick District next on Tuesday the 5th, but the final group game against Clare is the big one.
There's an audio summation of the game and an interview with Kerry manager Brian Spillane here:
Stalemate For Kerry In Oscar Traynor Trophy Opening Game
Anyone have any Predictions for divisional winners and relegation candidates?
Team full of broadford players. Surprise surprise
Fai junior cup 4th round draw. All desmond teams at home. Ballingarry beaten 3-2 away to Bridge Utd tonight in the 3rd round
I see that ... where are all the Rathkeale players who’re plenty good enough ....and Abbey ?? Pa Ahern surely good enough to start with 20 plus goals a season !!!
It's a joke. Broadford management so most of the players are gonna be from broadford. Plenty of players in the league would walk on that team that arent on it. It's a joke
Maybe said players didn’t have the interest.
I agree it’s definitely not the strongest representation we could have. But getting players to commit to it seems difficult.
The structure of the ot tournament is all over the shop. I think they should do something like the Kennedy cup. Run it in one venue like ul. Maybe over a weekend or something like that. I know that’s far from ideal but it may be easier to commit when it’s for one week or weekend rather than the long drawn out competition it is now
Just a note for "fantastic fan" if you look at the team vs kerry you'll see that 1 player each from Glin and Carraig and 3 players each from Abbey Rathkeale and Broadford started that match so how you can say that most of the team are from Broadford makes absolutely no sense.
Couldn't make the game due to work, but what an incredible result for the Desmond League tonight.
Super result. Could have easily been more. Desmond’s missed several chances.
District were absolutely terrible but that’s not to take away from the Desmond team performance. Ahern in particular was outstanding
When is the next game
Desmonds were excellent, far and away the better team. The only downside of the night was the miniscule crowd.
After tonight this comment is the joke. 🙄🙄Quote:

Ahern and Enright from Rathkeale were excellent.
The defence is solid. Joe mc and Sean o shea dealt with the physical threat of red Hanlon and then marshalled Connor Ellis very well.
The starting
11 were 4 each from Rathkeale and Broadford with 3 from Abbeyfeale, superb performance from all could have scored 2/3 more.
Seems like a fair enough representation of our top teams in my opinion
FAI Junior Round 4
Rathkeale 6 Lifford Celtic 2
Lifford took an early lead with Ahern equalising. Rathkeale took complete control after the break and went 6-1ahead through Hennessy, S O'Shea, Ahern, M Enright and a penalty from Shorten. Lifford converted a late penalty of their own.
Newcastle West Town 3-1 Shannon Olympic
Rathkeale 6-2 Lifford Celtic
Carrig Celtic 3-2 Killarney Athletic
Granagh United 1-3 Killarney Celtic
3 teams in the last 64 of the FAI is great going, well done to all.
Great to see 3 teams advance and credit to Granagh for a good show against a side that will fancy a good run in the competition.
Ballynanty Rovers/Pike Rovers Vs Newcastle West Town.
Carrig Celtic Vs Prospect Priory/Newport Town FC.
Rush Athletic/Dublin Celtic Vs Rathkeale.
Very tough draw for Newcastle. I think Carrig and Rathkeale both have a decent chance of advancing.
I think ncw have a chance they are playing well at the moment and have some experienced players, Carraig have a great chance, at home they are hard to beat, Rathkeale will have to play well to get a result away
Jesus if NCW beat any of those two teams in the next round there won't be enough room in the Observer !!!!!
Updated draw, don't think Rush and Dublin Celtic have played yet.Quote:

Saw the highlights on Facebook. Good promo for the league in fairness - but glad there wasn’t a video camera when I was kicking ball on a Sunday ha!
Premier is exciting me so far. I know it’s early but the “big 3” have all dropped points and Abbey nearly dropping more last weekend against Adare shows that I think this year there will be a lot more dropped points than usual. The gap between the bottom half of the premier seems to have become closer than previous years.
Glin and ballingarry have got off to a good start but I expect them both to drop off as the season goes on.
Adare struggling with life in the premier so far - been unlucky to be fair, losing most matches by the odd goal. Their poor start may cost them at the end of the season. Especially with the Football going to start back up in February. Hard to tell who will struggle at the bottom with them as AK have started very well and I would of thought they’d do well to stay up - they are only 3/4 more wins from safety already.
Shearer, did you ever think about going back doing your weekly round ups?
League is pretty interesting at the moment between teams dropping points and just the overall lack of league games. Good to have another week of League games in the Premier, Newcastle and Kilcornan in particular is an interesting one which I feel could go either way considering Kilcornan's previous results. Will be a good test for Newcastle before playing Pike.Quote:

Ya the write ups were brilliant to be fair. Everyone used to love reading them. Even if they were written on here
I just heard the terrible news about Liam O Connor's daughter. That is really awful and sad, my heart goes out to Liam the family. I wonder will the league call off games this weekend as a mark of respect? Only problem is, if there is FAI or Munster cup games they probably won't get called off
