There is no players been paid in Desmond league. If they are it's a joke. Fuel expenses are been met but you can't disagree with that. The prices are gone sky high and lads can't afford to travel. Clubs have to help in some way

I can understand how certain players who want to play but cant afford it get travel expenses (ie Students) but there has to be a line. It annoys that some players wish to profit while others are travelling down from dublin every weekend just to play with their local team and the lads they grew up. Its the players who sacrifice and have a genuine passion for the game are the ones that should be paid but never look for a penny.
I have to agree with footy247 i think it will be between NCW and Broadford for the league. NCW have signed and re-signed some very good players so you would have to make them favourites. Shannonside with losing those 2 players and from what i've heard not gaining any will do well to finish behind these 2. Strange that those payers left shannonside after a very successful season last year. It will be an interesting game sunday between NCW and Shannonside with former players and managers up against each other. We will know more about what shape Rathkeale and Abbey are in also after the weekend games.
Are all games going ahead this eve with all that rain, it's unreal if games will be called off in first weekend

heard people going on about broadford tonite only having half a team, well also heard also rathkeale wer missing 6/7 off there team. descent results for rathkeale,shannonside and carrig.
Was at the first half of broadford ratkeale game and 2nd half of abbey ncw game. wat i saw broadford totally dominated the game and cant believe ratkeale took the 3 points but fair play to them,its a massive win for them,it was same story at the abbey game,how they did not get a result i just dont know.they totally dominated the 2nd half an their striker missed a absolute sitter after 10 mins, ncw looked totally unfit near the end. Tomorrows games are big ones for all these four teams now. just another small point to make, it was great that abbey can play under lights an give us a chance to take games in.the more the better as there was a fine crowd there.
southern kid completely true i was there myself. broadford did control the first half but really only created 2 chance's. Ratheale on the other hand completely dominated the second and could have scored 3 more goals only for the broadford goalkeeper. he made at least one fantastic point blank save. broadford shouldnt worry though as they lost the first game also last season and after that had a great one

Great pity to see this happen i guess standards will be dropping in the league with teams having no youths.....
predictions for tomorrow, ncw 2 shside 0 ratk 1 abbey nil, carrig 2 glin 1 balling 0 kill o
I said on here 2 seasons ago that the league needed to look at youths soccer because the league would suffer at junior level in the long run with the way it was going.I think the way forward is to change youths to Sunday,I understand that smaller junior clubs may need their youth players to play junior but it will benefit everyone long term Im sure!With the age now a year younger than before this should be less the case anyway, it's hard to knock young fellas working on a Saturday instead of playing and again Sunday might make these players available.Quote:

was at the newcastle west vs shannonside match this morning.a good entertaining game.newcastle west went up one nil when a free kick into the box was headered to the back of the net by daniel power.shannonside levelled when a mix up in the ncw box from a corner saw the shannonside player finished it.ncw went 2-1 when mark doherty blasted the ball passed darren kavanagh in goals.ncw went 3-1 up when keith power at right back scored from 80yards when kavanagh took a free kick on the half way line straight to power and kicked the ball all the way to the back of the net..shannonside got a second when another mix up in the ncw box was buried to the back of the net by the shannonside player..

Watched the Newcastle vs Shannonside match yesterday. Very entertaining game played at a high tempo. Newcastle took a deserved lead at 2-1 mid way through the first half but then just before the break when shannonside were getting on top they gave away a crazy goal when their keeper took a free in newcastles half and keith power blasted what looked like a clearance into the shannonside net from his own box with kavanagh scrambling back. To shannonsides credit they came out in the second half and totally dominated newcastle. They got 1 goal back midway through the second half and piled on the pressure for the rest of the half but couldnt get the equalizer. Finished 3-2 with shannonside deserving at least a draw from the game but newcastle have 2 wins from 2 now and getting the bit of luck needed if they are to win the league back. Long way to go but they have an early advantage.
Scorers for newcastle Dan power, doherty, Keith power. For Shannonside moroney, doody.
Rathkeale have had a great start to the season and could surprise a few nutjobs who were tipping them for relegation. Always have too much quality to go down.
Great result for ncw yesterday, by all accounts shannonside deserved something out of it as did abbey on the fri nite but shows ncw can win ugly when they have to.Great start by carrig aswell. What happened in ratkeale game yesterday?i heard barry riordan got straight red for kicking out/fighting.Thought they would beat abbey yesterday.
