Looks like it's going down to the final game of the season with abbeyfeale beating ncw 3-0 and shannonside beating broadford 3-1.heard rathkeale beat killeaney 1-0 so that puts killeaney in trouble..anyone hear results from the other games between askeaton v ncw rovers and adare v glin???
Glin 0 0 Adare
Askeaton v Ncw Rovers abandoned due to an injury to Dara Barrett from Rovers, Glin and Adare ended scoreless with two red cards and two missed penalties
Heard that Newcastle west rovers player Daragh Barrett broke his leg tonight against askeaton..hope he is ok and wish him a speedy recovery
He had a neck injury but is fine so I was told.Quote:

Killeaney 1 Abbey 3
Abbey took the lead in this one with a superb pass from one of the midfielders, the Abbey striker beat the Killeaney defence for pace and applied a good finish.
Abbey should have 2 up when a long range shot hit the crossbar and down, it was well over the line but the Ref really couldnt make a call from where he was, Abbey also hit the crossbar.
It was 1-0 at halftime.
Early in the second half Killeaney equalised after a fine finish from sheehan after a shocking error by john kelliher... i thought the killeaney celebrations were a bit OTT considering there was 40 minutes left in the game....
Abbey went 2-1 up with 20 mins to go.. a quick free kick down the sideline caught the killeaney defence napping and a great cross made it an easy finish for the striker. Killeaney might have had a point that the freekick was taken from the wrong place and that the ball was rolling.
To be fair to killeaney they tried to play soccer... maybe a bit too much and that cost em for the 3rd goal... a slack pass was punced upon and another fine finish made it 3-1 which pretty much killed the game.
Killeaney got a fortunate penalty (the foul was 2 yards outside the box) late on.
And the final action of the season was Billy quirke making a great save for the penalty.
The amount of foul throws for both teams was a bit comical.
the now infamous member of the desmond league was doing linesman for Killeaney (the ref had to overrule him a couple of times to give Abbey a throw) he also assisted in managing Kileaney and abusing the ref!
Congrats to Abbeyfeale!

Concur with that.

I got these from the Referees website www.isrslimerickwest.weebly.com. So I suppose they are not official yet.
Congratulation to Glin Rovers....one of the great comebacks to remain in the premier division having had just 1 point at the start of febuary.
