Any reports from wknds game, i was away for wknd so didnt get to see any matchs. great results for ratkeale and abbeyfeale. killeaney won the battle of who will finish bottom and 2nd bottom, in my opinion. What happened to broadford yesterday? very dissapointing restults. Thanks to western gale for posting results and fixtures,great to see so quickly when away from home.

Good win for Killeaney at home to NCW Rovers!! Killeaney were up 2-0, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 and Paul Sheahan made it 4-2! Sounds like a cracker!!
Bad loss for Glin Rovers at home. Abbey were up 2-1 at half time and went on to win comfortably 4-1! Kelliher was at match but was not playing!
Rathkeale are on a roll at the moment!! Not easy to go to Carrig and win 3 nil with the home crowd there!! Carrig brought back down to earth after a good start!! Could be a long season ahead for the two Rovers - Glin & NCW!!

Carrig Celtic ( Desmond league) have given up home advantage on Sunday in the FAI junior cup first round and are travelling to Tralee to play St Brendans Park on Thursday night instead . Strange decision I think . Anyone hear any reasons why they switched it

Sky blue any report on rathkeale carig game great result up there.
broadford abbey should be a good game 2 good footballing sides.

Draper Any report on broadford vs brendans park, were they good or did the football from the night before have an affect?

Park were much the better team overall . They took the lead with their first corner in the 4th minute and scored from a second corner in the 34th minute . Park controlled the game easily from what I could see in the first half and limited Broadford to try hitting them in the counter attack .
The second half saw Broadford come into the game more but this was down to the park being reduced to 10 men with 30 mins left when a player recieved a second yellow for giggling at the referee . Still Broadford only managed to get 2 shots on target in the remaining 30 mins . Park finished the game the stronger and had 3 or 4 chances to kill it off in the last 10 minutes . They finally did on the 86th minute mark when the broadford defence stopped looking for offside . Park fully deserved the victory as they were much better at passing and keeping the ball through out the game .

heard alright that the players that play football for drom broadford were out on saturday night and were flaming drunk so that could have an affect on the match against st brendans park.shame really especially after broadford beating them last year in the fai junior cup and playing in a good competition this year..

Another interesting weekend of results. Hard luck to Broadford against Brendan's. Hear that in the abbey and glin game there was a bit of a brawl with people even joining in from the sidelines! Anyone see that? Good result for Rathkeale a brilliant start to their season. Big win for Killeaney too. League won't take much shape for a few weeks tho until the football is over I think.

Was there a near riot between Glin and Abbey last weekend or have i heard an exaggerated account of the story ?

If that is true then there should be lengthy bans for all involved. No place in the game for that. Hopefully the league will discipline both sides.

Dingle Bay – probably be 2+ hrs journey for those lads!! Listowel Celtics probably be too strong for Glin Rvs alright! Glin are playing Junior A West final on Sunday so will prob have weakened team. Celtics prob be too good even if Rvs had full team!

Bit of a history between the two so would not be surprised. I suppose it will depend on the referees report! Heard Desmond League officials are looking at CCTV!! I heard Rovers might be forced to play 1 match behind closed doors!!
Any pics from Harry Lime these times?

there seems to be trouble every year between these two teams....

Agreed, should be players punished over this fight at the glin and abbey game, if the stories going around are true. Could be exaggerated also though! Anyone any info on Dingle Bay Rovers, Shannonside play them this weekend?

Heard that Glin v Listowel is now on Thursday evening at 5.30pm.

I would liken Dingle Bay very much to Killeaney. They are not quite good enough for Premier in Kerry but always do well after relegation. They haven't picked up a point this year (correct me if I'm wrong). Shannonside should dispose of them handy enough. I'll be there as I'm interested to see how their new players from Kilcornan get on. Niall Smith is my tip to score on his debut. Anyone involved with Kilcornan on this thread? How do ye feel about losing probably 2 of yer best players, must be tough on a small club, especially after losing 2 players to limerick fc this year aswell and 2 to Regional if I have my information correct. 6 top players gone from the team, Relegation bound???

That would make sense as Glin have Junior A West Final on Sunday! Perhaps Abbey will let them use their pitch to play under lights if necessary!!

Cheers for that info. They got to the last 32 last year so they must be handy enough, and apparently finished 4th in last years Premier? Yes Shannonsides new signing Smithy is a very good player, could make a good name for himself this year and has time on his side. Kilcornan must be in trouble losing all these players?

Very close to an upset super 6 . St Brendan's dominated possession for first 30 mins but failed to do anything with it . Then just before half time carrig scored a cracking goal from 25 yards out after a lovely passing move . St Brendans got back into the game from a deserved penalty 5 minutes into the second half . From here on it was all st Brendan's with the scoring chances which they wasted on numerous occasions missing 4 one on ones . Carrig seemed happy trying to hit on the counter attack and nearly win it in the 85th minute but for a great save from the st Brendans keeper .
St Brendan's started the Xtra time the better and took the lead 5 minutes into it when their Center midfielder broke through going past 5 players before driving the ball to the roof off the net . Carrig from here on threw everything forward but just couldn't get the equaliser . Over the game I think st brendans deserved the win just for the amount off ball they had and chances they created . Both teams should do well in their respective leagues looking at these performances .
Another note from this game was the amount off offside decisions given . It must surely have been in the twenties if not higher . When u have teams who play fast football it is nearly always guess work from the match referee without assistants .

From what I herd the 'penalty' could have gone either way. Good sporting game tho !

Heard the abbey broadford game is off due to the death of the kelliher brothers mother. rip

It was a very good sporting game and credit to both teams for that . For me from where I was standing their was no doubt it was a penalty . The st Brendans player was going full speed into the box , got to the ball first before the defender and touched it passed him. The defender was was coming across the box collided side on and knocked the attacker to the ground as he was passing him. The defender was no where near the ball and never made an attempt to touch it once the collision was made . Others will see it differently but for me it was a penalty .

Newmarket Celtic (Clare) v Abbeyfeale Utd (Desmond): Would expect Abbey to win this one! Newmarket beat Glin well last year, although I think Glin were tied up in the Junior Football at the time and put out a weakened team.
Remember playing Clare teams in the past and getting nothing from the refs there. Prob just sour grapes on my part though! :)

On a more somber note, condolences to Kelliher family!

R.I.P Marie Kelliher. Condolences to Kelliher family.
