I hear the Nenagh Kinsale game was on, heard they lost but wondering how the performance was?
They played okay, but still not firing like they were last season. Both goals were uncontested near post headers, things that should be pre-empted on the training ground. They really got at Kinsale in the 2nd half when they were 1-0 down, I think if they scored in that period they would have gone on to win. The old failing of not being able to put the ball in the net, they still lack a greedy, pacey, finishing no. 9. Steffen started up there but he's needed in the middle of the field, Sossy's too slow, so the answer is not in the club at the moment. I do feel the future is bright though, they may pick up a striker from somewhere, they're still a young squad, and the schoolboy section of the club is starting to thrive and is being built on very sound foundations.Quote:

probbly the big difference lads between south tipp and north tipp is the attention to detail in assembling squads....you guys never go recruit a centre forward from limerick or south tipp??
clubs in particularly nenagh hooper, believe in playing their own local players and rely on players from the area in and around.It may not help with results and strength in a squad but it gives the local people better association with the players instead of recruiting a so called outsider. Plus it gives youth a chance instead of bringing someone in that will disapear after a season or that!!
thats a fair point daz....but in order to be sucessful and give those local players who are good enough the opportunity to challenge for big trophies and play in big games surely its worth bringing in a player or 2? is there no ambition to someday win a munster junior cup?
I do see your point and there is ambition. Wont be surprised if Nenagh AFC beat Clonmel in 2 weeks in MJC.we,Celtic will run Pike close too if not do better. Our current junior team has about 6 current youths players on it and they seem to be doing okay. We only building a team this season as we have very young side.know went off the point there a bit but maybe we could do with the odd player or two. The problem is that it probably hard to be get a decent outsider for want of a better word in as after the 2 Nenagh teams and one or two other teams the standard is extremely poor boarding on disasterous. So that can cause a problem to do what you are suggesting?
Just take a look at our pitch,nobody from outside would join us having 2 play on that rubbish every second week,plus alot of clubs up here have poor facilities and as dazz said apart from 2 nenagh teams and blackcastle not much football being played.Quote:

I would agree with that (Facilities etc), maybe you could attract a few more lads from the country clubs. Maybe a few quid to some of these lads may turn their heads. I dont really follow who is who with the various teams but from what I have seen in the First Division, Borrisoleigh have a forward called Kent who is a real handful and Sallypark have a very good midfielder by the name of Padraig Ryan (I think).Quote:

Kent is a fine striker,is ryan a tall lad sometimes plays up front if so he too is a good player.Shepard from toome is handy and young quinn at port is a hand full.Birdhill have a couple of good attacking players also.As for paying lads its just not an option for a club like us.Quote:

the league is definately between 2 nenagh clubs now after others slipping again the weekend. Birdhill not turning up is a joke. They have a good team but does anyone know what the story is with them??big games for both nenagh clubs in MJC.im a celtic man and we will give pike a good game.fair play to nenagh on their win last weekend and wouldnt it be great to see 2 nth tipp clubs in quarters of MJC
it would be great. even though im involved in south tipp i sincerely wish ye all the best and know that if ye forget the reputations that come with these so called limerick big guns ye have every chance of progressing, with any luck we will have 4 tipp teams still in contention come the quartersQuote:

Unlucky to the two Nenagh teams in the Munster Junior Cup, how did ye perform?
ah we were outclassed by pike to be honest.did not do ourselves justice at all.they excellent side.3-0 bit harsh, they scored 2 goals in last 5 minutes but fully deserved victory.Heard Nenagh were very unlucky, missed many chances.
Some shock results in the 1st Division, Clonmore beating Sallypark didnt seem to be on the cards.
Kilcommon are making a go of trying to get out of the relegation zone with 2 wins in there last two games.
It looks like its between Ballymackey, Templetouhy, Borrisokane and Kilcommon for the drop.
I think one win in our last two games should see Ballymackey safe (hopefully).
Borrisokane are back hurling so will find it difficult to take advantage of their games in hand.

Think sallypark will struggle in premier next season but in borrisoleigh goup have the quality to win games even though will be missing players due to GAA committments alot of times.
Do you think the 2nd Division is going to be finished off?
Bit of a mockery if it is finished up mid season so what can they do?
from what i hear it will, cant see why not. alot of games probably will be not be played but points awarded if you know what im staying.it was poor decision anyway not to have split the second division. Games paddys day is a joke tooQuote:

Dont like the idea of having matches on Paddys day myself but i suppose with all the matches that have been postponed recently -- What can thay do.. I know from our point of view we are going to be missing players but it may be the same for everyone else..
The way its going we will not be getting much of a break as in when the league finishes it will be starting again... Prob be about 2- 3 weeks break which is s**t enough..
are ye missing players through hurling committments?Quote:

That was a fare trashing alright, I know a few of the Rearcross lads have headed off to Australia.Quote:

we got a good start,2 up in first ten minutes and they were chasing after that. admire rearcorss because alot of teams would have wanted to call it up early and they wanted to play on.toomevara are worst hit losing from what i know 4,5 players this season. ye look safe this season?Quote:

We are getting there, I think a point out of the last two games should see us safe.Quote:

the problem is clubs like them are there just to make up the numbers and imo are going no where.they probably be gone in 5 yr anyway with no team.they get away with it but thats why nothings is going to improveQuote:

Nenagh Celtic 3-2 Clough we were very lucky,played poorly and were 2 down with 20 minutes left .We showed great character to get the result but will need to improve for the big one with Town.
Heard its next week alright should be a cracker,i think birdhill are gone.Quote:
