Ya heard about his daughter as well. Very sad news to hear
FAI Youths Cup R3
Ballingarry 0 Douglas Hall 3
2-0 at half time with the second arriving just before the half time whistle. Douglas's 3rd goal very early in the second half put the tie beyond Ballingarry. To their credit Ballingarry battled away after this and created a few chances. Douglas a good side who could go far in the competition.
Great win for Carrig Celtic today against Newport Town to book their place in the last 32 of Ireland.
Carrig dominated most of the first half but Newport got on top during the last ten and grabbed a goal. Newport had caused Carrig a lot of trouble down the right and that's where the goal came from.
Second half a bit more level, a great goal by Seanie King to make it 1-1 as well. Carrig went up 3-1 thanks to Noel Callanan and an Own-Goal but Newport pulled one back two minutes from time with a screamer. Last 7 or 8 minutes were close but Carrig held out well and were helped by Newport being reduced to ten for one of their players handling the referee.
Also, Rush Athletic will face Rathkeale in the fifth round after beating Dublin Celtic today.
:D:D:D
"handling the referee"
Seems to be a trendy thing to do at the minute, so it would be interesting to hear the team (or squad), manager and moment of the decade from some folk on here.
What would yours be shearer
I’m open for correction on this but in the last 10 years I think the Premier Division has gone to Rathkeale * 4, Abbey * 3, Broadford * 2 and Newcastle Afc.Quote:

Is it true that Shane Stack has transferred to NCW Town from Janesboro?
Be great for them if that is the case... not so good for Janesboro though...
Be interesting alright to do a team of the decade - first name on the team sheet surely has to be Ray Lynch?
I don't think I'm of age to be making a team of the decade.Quote:

FAI Junior Cup 6th Round
Suncroft FC Vs Pike Rovers/Newcastle West Town.
Newpark FC Vs Carrig Celtic.
Ballinasloe Town/Villa FC Vs Rush Athletic/Rathkeale.
Munster Youths Cup 3rd Round
St Ita's 0 Ballingarry 2
Ballingarry comfortably the better team with a goal in each half seeing them advance to the open draw.
I'd have Joyce from Newcastle West Rovers as one of the best players in the past 10 years. Bagging loads of goals every year. Also Mark Doherty from Newcastle West Afc. Capped for Ireland juniors as well. Keith Hartnett from Rathkeale as well.Quote:

Ballinroad Vs Ballingarry.
Abbeyfeale/Rathkeale and Glin/Granagh in the Munster Junior were fixtured for this Sunday December 22nd as the only fixtures of the day, presumably because the third round should have been played a fortnight ago.
If that is the case, why has the Abbeyfeale/Rathkeale game been pushed out to the middle of January with no sense of urgency, yet and all, Glin and Granagh has been moved to the Adare astro-turf to ensure it is played?
was there a question in there Shearer?? :D
We’re back this weekend with almost a full round of fixtures in the premier. Best of luck to Carrig in FAI - great achievement getting this far, be a tough task to get through especially away from home and not the best preparation last weekend with their loss away to granagh in league.
Out of all the fixtures I’m intrigued in how Glin and NCW Town get on. Glin going well with results and players gained by folding surrounding clubs and NCW Town getting one or two players back at Xmas (namely stack from the struggling Boro’). Should be a good tie and what ever team wins will look to push on and challenge.
It’s going to be really open this year I can see teams taken points off everyone. So if there was ever a year for NCW and Glin could challenge it would be this year.
Broadford to take 3 points from adare Sunday. Can’t see adare picking up more than 6 points this season. Just above their grade unfortunately.
Away to Kilkenny in the Oscar Traynor to be played by February 29th.
Another big win for Glin Rovers last weekend, the highlights are up on Facebook. Top of the table now and have yet to lose a game; if they could get Paul Sheahan back from Regional (as they're now out of the FAI Junior Cup) it would bolster them even further.
On a Glin related note, well done to Karl O'Sullivan who has signed for Premier Division side Finn Harps.
Can't see Glin holding that position, they haven't played anyone apart from NCW town which they got a bit of luck to win. Hopefully I'm wrong because it would be great to see another club lifting the trophy apart from the big top 3.
Think Paul Sheehan made the decision to stay with Regional, can't see Glin being too tempting for him also as he lives and works in Limerick as far as I know.
Great to see Glin top of the table but have they played any of the top teams ?? No one likes playing Glin as there so physical. Glin on a Sunday morning is the least favourite ground for any past/present Desmond League player ( What bout the attack on NCW midfielder last week ) yes it was an attack !!! Away from home there very beatable in my opinion. Sheehan back with them this week will help them for rest of season but i'd have Abbey, Rathkeale & maybe Broadford ahead of them come the finish of the league. Tough draw for Desmonds in OT .. are they training ??
