Thats avoiding the point, all of those players have local clubs that they can play with and I think a fair few of them have since left the club. I reiterate my point that since players are now playing for their home clubs the league is becoming more competitive.
Obviously with the right people in charge St.Michaels have some very good young players that can become a very good team.
Although Clonmel Celtic, Bansha Celtic and Rock Rovers are all starting to produce young talent so the challenge is there. Do you think St.Michaels can get back to the top :confused:
The only results I heard were St.Michaels winning ( which I have to agree was a surprise at the extent of the victory - thats usually a tough fixture for anyone) and Bansha Celtic winning.....anyone else got any news ?
clonmel celtic surprisingly beaten by galbally 2-0. i fancied celtic for a decent run in this comp after hammering borris 5-0 last week
to be fair clonmel celtic had a weak team out missing 5 1st team players added to that they missed a lot of chances and galbally took theirs. celtics problems are far from over every wk their is a different team and half the players dont know what teammates they will have from week to week.
It is really unfortunate to hear that. The TSDL really needs the teams like Clonmel Celtic to get it together and make the league more interesting. It is at least good to see that some of the teams are improving from last year and hopefully with a few upsets the league can do itself justice by becoming competitive this year.
No major upsets in the MJC.... any predictions for winners at this early stage?
carrick are big outsiders,it is between pike and clonmel but one other outside team always causes an upset
Cant see any one stopping clonmel town they are streets ahead of every other team. in the tipp league they could probably put out a 2nd 11 and finish 1st and 2nd in the premier and im not exagerating! ps im a clonmel celtic fan!
tsdl oscar traynor squad to face Waterford in Ozier Park on Sunday.
James Walsh, Derek Breen, Paul Breen, Ray McMahon, Chris Higgins, Paul Kennedy, Pa Quinn, Alan Kiely, Shane McGrath (all St. Michael’s), Darren Burns, Tony Scully, Aaron Moroney, Dwayne Burns, Michael Coady, Ian Fraher, Ramie Condon (all Clonmel Town) Andrew Cosgrave, John Ryan (both Clonmel Celtic), Donal Duggan, Alan Leahy (both Peake Villa) and Ken Ryan (Two Mile Borris).
very strong squad. hope they all commit to it this year. if they do have great chance of winning the comp. paul tobin and paul scully 2 notable absentees. are they injured. couple of players id also consider for squad would be michael ryan peake villa and robbie costigan cahir park .
my 11 would be
1 derek breen gk
2.darren burns rb
3.chris higgins lb
4.paul breen cb
5.james walsh cb
6. ian fraher rm
7.andy cosgrave cm
8. donal duggan cm
11.ken ryan lm
9. aaron moroney cf
10. paul kennedy cf
i think you would have to find a place in the team for tony scully!!
Paul Scullys knees will barely survive the rigours of the regular season so I'm fairly certain that he wont be available for the OT side. IMO M.Coady is the best lb/lm in the league at the moment, i'll be surprised if he doesnt play.
Town v Michaels should be a belter with the winner playing the Bridge. For a dark horse outsider i'm going to have a tenner on Lisselton from Kerry.
Surely Richard Ryan of Town has ta start in the goal,never mind the squad!!absolute joke if he aint involved..Better keeper then flipper by a country mile..;)..All depends who de manager picks,as you can c from last years team,he cud come up with absolutely anything!!!:ball:
i agree wit you on richie ryan,quality commanding keeper.best in the league,would not be playing for the best team if he was not!!ya hear the manager is liable to do anything
My team would be if all available : derek Breen, chris higgins, james walsh,paul breen, michael coady,dwayne burns,andrew cosgrove,tony scully, ken ryan, paul kennedy, aaron moroney
subs,
darren byrne, donal duggan, michael ryan, ian fraher,raymie condon alan coady pa quinn richie ryan( toss up between keepers really, a bit of favouritism in my selection lol)
best possible oscar traynor.
J. Ryan
p. Tobin m. coady
p.breen J.Walsh
Dwayne burns p.scully davy Ryan Adam Mcsharry
Moroney Kennedy
a strong arguement could be made for t. scully i. barnes.
i went for the celtic keeper even though he is a loose canon he is a pretty good keeper.
how far of fitness is adam mcsherry. how come he didnt sign back with town. he is a class act. if celtic càn get him andy cosgrave and paddy wack firing on all cylinders they ll have no problems attacking. just need to sort out there defence
