Cheers mate, thanks for the results.. Abbey seem to be the big shock result of the round you would be expecting them to win at home, good result for Ballingarry though, Killarney celtic pulled one back towards the end alright, finished 3-2.
A lot of high scoring games by the looks of things, good win for NCW, Rathkeale threw away a two goal lead after going down to 10 men against Inter Kenmare.

Anyone know when the 3rd round draw is being made??

Shannonside v Tralee Dys
Ballingarry F.C. v Tulla Utd
Rattoo Rovers v Rathkeale
Sporting Ennistymon v Bridge United
Bridge Celtic v St.Brendans Park
Kilrush Rangers v Lisselton
Kilarney Ath. v Avenue Utd.
St.Itas v Glantine or Newcastlewest Rovers
Pallaskenry v Newcastlewest
Askeaton v Listowel Celtic or Classic F.C.

Games to be played on or before weekending 1st/2nd November 2008

you dont exactly throw a 2 goal lead away when you go down to 10 men it is hard to hold on to a 2 goal lead. but rathkeale got through it anyway heard they showed good spirit to come back in extra time after going down 3-2

Yea good win for them, I heard the first 3 pens from both teams were missed:eek: finished 2-1 in the shoot-out, Ratoo will be though away very physical side but I think Rathkeale will beat them. What was the sending off for?

Great win for Ballingarry, Killarney are a top side

NCW were poor against Tralee, should have won by a lot more but kept leaving Tralee back into it, ref was very poor

Carrig were missing a lot of players but still don't think they would have troubled Dynamoes

does the 'gooch' cooper play for one of the teams in killarney?

Centre back got two yellow cards, one either side of half time i think.
Ratoo Rovers are supposed to be tough to beat at home, so wont be easy for Rathkeale down there.

I'm predicting the shock result of the 3rd round: Shannonside to turn over Tralee Dys ;), their playing well, full of confidence in the desmond league at the minute, top of Div1

Not any more, he used to play with Killarney Ath. before he made the senior kerry football panel, but since then had to pack it in

Anyone have any more results from this section???:o

3rd Round:
Shannonside v Tralee Dys
Ballingarry F.C. v Tulla Utd ............ 6-1
Rattoo Rovers v Rathkeale ............ 0-3

Good win for Killarney Ath, I thought Avenue Utd would have progressed there..

The Kerry Oscer trainor team were playing Cork AUL yesterday, so the rest of those FAI games were probably all postponed until next week :confused:

Shannonside v Tralee Dys
Bridge Celtic v St.Brendans Park
Kilrush Rangers v Lisselton
Askeaton v Listowel Celtic

Hi all.

I was taking photographs at the Ballingarry v Tulla game. Plenty of goals anyways - even if the 3 sendings off was the reason why.

Full set is here for anyone interested.

Is draw for next round tonight?

I thought it was supposed to be last night, but looking at another thread and it seems the Limerick City draw is on tonight, so I would presume both will be made together :confused:. If anyone knows anything lets us know :D

Does anyone know if the 4th Rd draw was made last night??

Draw not made yet

ROUND 4 CLARE-DESMOND-KERRY


1 Newcastlewest Rovers v Askeaton or Classic F.C
2 Ballingarry F.C. v Rathkeale
3 Shannonside or Tralee Dys. v Newcastlewest

Kerry District League messed up again (whats new). Didnt play FAI fixtures due to game against Cork AUL (which didnt go ahead) so its on this week instead...no games again this week!

Interesting draw for us...Shannonside away is a tough one!

I presume they'll play those remaining 3rd Rnd games next weekend along with whatever 4th Rnd games can be played.
Yea Shannonside will be tough away but I would still expect Dynamo's to win there, should be too strong for them.
If ye get past them though, ye'll have an a tough 4th Rnd game against Newcastle West. Won the desmond league last year and have a 100% league record so far this season. It will be a good game, home advantage might just give Dynamo's the edge

Will the Killarney V Bridge game be played on schedule (23 November) ??

shannonside will be much tougher than people think . remember the are a new club who now have the pick of two old clubs with a lot of quality . i fancy an upset in this one . in saying that dynamos have a lot of experience in the bigger competion's .

i play for newcastle west afc and i think shannonside are a good team and could cause an upset against tralee dynamos...they are going well in the 1st divison in there 1st time together...we are playing the winners off shannonside and tralee in the next round away so hopefully shannonside will win cos we beat them pre season 5-2...tralee dynamos are a wicked team tho...

Shannonside 0 - Tralee Dynamos 2

Good game and in atrocious conditions, Shannonside have some quality players and play some attractive football, although it was a comfortable enough win in the end for us to be fair.

Next round tie against Newcastle West should be a good game of football...

Classic FC won away as well, dont know the score however...

Trinity Corth or Bluebell Utd v Leeside or Douglas Hall
NUI Galway v Glenad Utd or Kilmacrennan Celtic
Carrick Utd or Johnville v Glasnion or Castleknock Celtic
Cherry Orchard v Clones Town or St.Maelruans
Nenagh v Glenmuir
Coolock Town v Blarney Utd or Kanturk
St.Vincents Hospital v Glenview FC
Rock Rovers v Fiarview Rgs or Wembly Rovers
Tuam Celtic or West Utd v Usher Celtic
Evergreen or St.Patrick Boys v Salthill Devon
Strand Celtic v Coachford or Kinsale
Dillon Cross or Ballyvolane v Mulranny or Westport Utd
Skerries Town or VEC F C v Crumlin Utd or Phoenix F C
Ballingarry or Rathkeale v Castlebar Celtic
Glenea Utd or Kerrykeel 71 v Bohemians or Waterford Crystal
Aileach v City Utd
St.Kevins Boys v Kentstown Rovers
Spa Utd v Lisselton or St.Brendans Park
Knocklyon or Greystones or Cherryfield Utd v Willow Park or Mullingar Ath. Castlebridge Celtic v Janesboro

Sheriff Y C v Park Utd or Wilton Utd
St.Peters F C or Portlaoise v Culdaff F C
Clonakilty F C or Blarney St.Ath v Regional Utd
Strand Athletic or Kilbarrack Utd or St.Francie v Millford Utd or Redcastle F C
Tralee Dynamoes or Newcastle West v St.Michaels
Clonmel Town v Ballyphehane or Ballincollig F C
Carbury v Geraldines or Knockainey F C

dynamos vs newcastle west lookes be 1 of the ties of the round, dynamos with home advantage should shade it, but will need to keep a clean sheet. lisselton vs the park will be interesting as park have beat them in league already, but i think lisselton are more focused to win this 1 especially after going out of the MJC so early. good to see classic fc a team only formed last year making it this far, but i think their journey will end against newcastle west rvs. as for killarney athletic thet are a solid team but made struggle away from home.

the dynamoes v ncw def will be good game this weekend,game of the round.only saw dynamoes once v shannonside and are v good team,if i had to id nearly fancy ncw to take em in a tight game,maybe 1-0 or 2-1. all depends who gets first goal but ncw v good up front. rathkeale also playing ballingarry and will be tight too, ncw rovers v classic could go to classic,rovers have few players but few too many weak spots- as for locally (desmond league) the premier seems wrapped up even at this early stage with no one able to keep pace with ncw,and hopefully shannonside can continue top of first for rest of season!

would be bottom half of the table..have got some good results of late ,last weekend they beat carew park away,which is no mean feat.
will be well organised and fit,as they are out of town in both comps. so i'd say the turnouts for training are pretty good.if ye are playing them away then the pitch is good enough but tight...have a few good players,barry ryan in particular who can pick open defences at his ease,but time has caught up with him as regards stamina etc.
they will be dogged and will keep going to the end..

thx for that buzzer, we'll fancy our chances against them, we've as good as a team a we've had for years. few new lads, few comin back from injury and gaa.

who are you involved with el tel...are ye at home or away to granville.
if away you may be better off to request that one of the granville lads meet ye at a well known focal point in the city...their pitch will be extremely hard to find otherwise

I'm involved with killarney athletic, i used to play yonks ago. The boys are due to play granville away in the cup on the 14th. Will tell the manager about the pitch, cheers again.

ballingarry v rathkeale, any info on either team? are they any good? we(castlebar celtic) await the winners!!

The league table tells it all, both teams well off the pace in the desmond league, hard to pick a winner from this one, it will all depend who wants it more on the day, both have being blowing hot & cold all season. Its a local derby between both teams, Ballingarry are favourites mainly because they have home advantage, it will be a very close game I'd say.

Saying this I would expect Castlebar Celtic to be much stronger than both.

ROUND 4 CLARE-DESMOND-KERRY

1 Classic F.C
2 Rathkeale

4 Lisselton v St.Brendans Park
5 Killarney Ath

Correct me if im wrong but are these the teams that are left into round 5.

4 out of 5 teams that go through are from Kerry, has to be testimony to the fact that the Kerry league is getting stronger!
