well done to Rathkeale. Any report on NCW V NCW Rovers, sounds like NCW got very luck scoring in last minute. Buddygeary?????
Heard NCW West AFC were lucky enough.Heard their keeper made a super save from Joyce in the second half.Rovers missed a few chances in both halves.Who scored for both teams? Broadford had a much needed win.Will Adare get any points this season?
Shannonside are pulling away in the league.They wont be stopped now I'd say.
Season is moving along nicely lads, a couple of teams will have a third of there league games played after this weekend.
shannonside are flying abbeyfeale going well too rathkeale and newcastlewest also finding a bit of form lately....
Interesting few weeks ahead, if the weather stays on our side the first half of fixtures could be played by christmas !!
Shannonside will hardly drop any points the way they are playing this year. They must be nearly 1-3 on at this stage to win the premier?
Shannonside were deadly last year even. They took 6 points from Broadford and beat them in League cup final. Top team, they will win Premier....Quote:

Its obvious the 'tennis court' in Shanagolden is helping Shannonside.Its suits them to hoof long balls up to Behan on that pitch.
True for you Torres no league is one in October but they are going well and a good start is very important in this league. I dont think the wider pitchs will suit them as they are not a pacy side.
must agree with u there..dont get me wrong they are a good side but its too early to say who is gonna win the premier but shannonside are in with a shout so far and i wouldnt be surprised if they did win the premierQuote:

Not sure where the "hoof" merhcants label comes from, I'd say its slightly unfair, they do play good football and Behan's qualities lay in his touch, ability to hold the ball up and bring others into the game rather than flicking the ball on. Agree that there are no medals handed out after 5 games, leagues are not won before Christmas but can certainly be lost. Also there are a few quick lads on that side, and you don't have to be lightning quick to read the game, awareness on the pitch and seeing things will usually get an older, experienced player into position before them young whiper snappers. All in all though its been a good start to the season and long may it continue, makes for a fascinating Sunday afternoon, seeing the results.
On a separate issue, great to see Rathkeale beat Fermoy and progress there, Carrick Utd next, any predictions?
Oscar Traynor tomorrow evening, be interesting to see who turns up, have heard there are a few players who won't be there.
Would be ince if the season finished earlier than it has done for the last two, its been running on too long of late. I'd say that most sides, certainly in the premier would have played half their league matches before Christmas, depending on their cup runs. Certainly agree with it becoming more and more interesting over the next few weeks.Quote:

Get a grip lad, of course the majority of Shannonside are used to this pitch.You do know that Shannonside are a combination of Shanagolden and Foynes !! The pitch suits their style of play thats the point Im making.Who are their quick players besides O' Connor ?Quote:

I think that Ardagh-->Carrigkerry-->Killeaney is the handiest way to go. I think it's easier to get lost on the other side coming from Shanagolden.Quote:

Ok thanks for the directions and the tips. I'll have a look at them Sunday morning. Cheers.Quote:

I heard, now don't qoute me on it....Griffin won't be there, not sure if any of the Askeaton lads are interested, the Glin players and Hanlon et al from Shannonside.
Killeaney are a good side to watch, get the ball down and play football, they were good when we played them earlier in the season and it was a good match to be in. On Killeaney, Sheahan is a doubt now for them, damaged his knee playing for Glin in the football. He'll be a big loss to them.
Mid October and the GAA season still playing West finals despite starting in April despite their championship season being only 5 or 6 games. Theres a minor County final on somewhere this Saturday clashing with Youths matches. Flip sake like....
We'll leave the field bit go so ...
It wont be surprising if the Askeaton or Glin boys do not go.
I heard Alan O Shea and Mikey Lyons from Rathkeale were called up ? Any truth ? They'll hardly come now after not being called the first time.
Ya Sheehan is by far Killeaneys best player and would be a big loss to any team.
I see PJ has added a few more " household" names to his panel , how will they all fit in the dressing room in clonreask tonite.
The football strongholds of breska and rockhill are now represented also Thomas Qulligan whose playing with NCW B.
PJ must have a short memory ( youths fiasco last year )
No worries.
As for Lyons and O Shea, I think you're right, they have been called up, but whether or not they'll play is another question. I was suprised to say the least that they were not in the original squad, for reasons unbeknown to me, two quality players. Why is it though, that good players just don't bother playing I know it can be a bit time consuming, but surely to play at the next level should be something every player wants to do. Playing Regional tonight, be ineresting to see how they fare.
Yes Sheehan would be a loss for any side, very good on the ball, strong too, hes had a few nasty injuries now though... hopefully he'll be able to get back soon.
Its crazy how the GAA season overlaps so much, I know St. Senans are back training if not at the end of this month certainly Novemeber. I've nothing against the game and enjoy watching aswell as playnig it, but there seems to be no compromise between the two sports.
well lads any news on the oscar traynor match tonight? did many turn up? what was the score ?
Result; Regional 0 Limerick desmond 2
good turn out tonight 21 players kiely scored and og
limerick desmond 3-0 regional
o.g, kiely and tony quaid
anyone know what was the starting 11?
They made changes nearly every ten minutes,players were brought on and off and tried in various positions.I thought Riordan was the difference when he was introduced , he linked up well with the midfield and his awareness caused problems for Regional.He showed have scored aswell.
Kiely was good aswell when he came on. Joyce gets a lot of chances but needs to be more clinical.
I can't believe that Quilligan has been called up after what happened with the Youths team last season, he should never be considered for a league team again,PJ is asking for trouble,It's not that he is even that good a player. Apparently the squad is to be trimmed to 20 this week.Good result last night hopefully the players stay interested now.Quote:

Shountrade FC play in Croagh.
Rathkeale would be by far the stronger of teams in that area and have 2 good fields and a new astro turf.Its a mile from Croagh village.
What position do you play ?
St. Ita's must be massive odds on favoutites for the 1st division title with 5 players on the Oscar Traynor panel....
Ya Rathkeale would be the only option in this case abbeyvale. Premier League Champoins and Desmond cup holders. Need i say anymore.:oQuote:

Ha ha not at all.... Dont agree Seoirse Joyce isnt good enough for Oscar Traynor panel, I think he is as good as any Rathkeale or Newcastle striker on his dayQuote:
