Lads,
New season is starting again in a few weeks.
Anyone got news on any clubs, who's going where etc... ?
I suppose I better get the ball rolling!! ;)
Is there truth in the rumours that Gooldscross and Rosegreen are folding? Just something I heard in the last few weeks! :confused:
Not much going on i suppose...
:D:D LOOKS LIKE IT!!!Quote:

In the premier league Peake could very well struggle this season after losing more players to Kilkenny City, Michaels have lost a few also to their u21 and senior side. Ian Barnes from Town has gone to them also.
Any word on any new signings from any of the clubs, I wonder can Clonmel Celtic keep up their good work from last season!
Couple of new signings for Celtic alright. Look good so far but it's early yet. Haven't lost Paul Kennedy or anyone else for that matter either.
Drew 2-2 in Dungarvan a week or so back, were missing a load with holidays and stuff. It's a bad time of year for that, it's only in the week or two before the first match that you begin to see the team taking shape.

saints start as slight favourates for me this year they need to win title back. town and celtic will push them hard though. relegation will be between bansha galbally and rock rovers or cahir. the rest will all be mid table
Here are the opening day fixtures:
Clonmel Credit Union Premier League
Two Mile Borris v Bansha Celtic
Clonmel Celtic v Clonmel Town
Peake Villa v Galbally United
Cahir Park v St. Michael’s FC
Two Mile Borris v Bansha Celtic - Home Win
Clonmel Celtic v Clonmel Town - Draw
Peake Villa v Galbally United - Away Win
Cahir Park v St. Michael’s FC - Away Win
Heard today dat paul kennedy has played a pre-season game with st michaels and has signed for them also.is there any truth in this rumour does anybody kno..
He played 30 mins for them, but I don't think he has signed for St. Michael's!Quote:

The A team squad is definetly lighter this year with the loss of barnes, landers and reade. Looking at the players signed its hard to see anyone making the step up except Paul Shanners( if he learns to look up before crossing the ball). I reckon the league will be a tight affair again this year.
where is barnes gone.who else have town signed?. anyone know have peake and borris signed any players this year.
anybody at any of the matches over the weekend? Clonmel Town had a big win over Celtic, thought it would be much closer

Town looked good but would not get carried away
Delighted to see Bansha Celtic get off to a winning start, they have a good young team this year and a few have still to come back from gaa, holidays and injury. It won't be easy but they at last have a team that can compete reasonably well in the premier league......Best of luck :ball:
ah shur im not in full fitness yet, when i am, il be flying!! :D
has paul kennedy stayed with celtic? have michaels many new players?
I thought Celtic were the better side for the opening 20 mins, Town looked a bit rusty. We maintained tradition and only woke up once Celtic went ahead, good finish from P. Kennedy. Fortunately we equalised 1 minute later and from then on Town dominated the play. I thought M. Coady was a revelation at left full. Scorers: Moroney 2, P. Scully, T. Scully, A. Coady D. Burns. Playing Rock Rovers on Wed night. Should be a battle:D
Was Kenneth Kiely playing for 'Town on Sunday. Have to admit I was glad to see 'Goggs' Reade gone back to Carrick - very slow and to put it mildly - indisciplined. The 2 big cups must be the priority for Town this year. Barnes is a big loss but if the defence is a little more solid and Moroney stays fit are they contenders?
Barnes is back although he didn't play Sunday. Ken Kiely doesn't look to be the answer either. He is slow and in no way is he a commanding centre half.Quote:

On a side note i heard Killester were very impressive against town in their pre-season friendly, different class. It'll be difficult for town to make any impact on the FAI with them in it, every chance in the Munster though.
Have to agree re: K. Kiely. He calls for a lot of balls that he misses. Hopefully he will improve as the season progresses. Not a lot of quality centre halfs about although apparently the czech striker ilija has a brother who plays centre half and reputed to be classy. Time will tellQuote:

any word on mid-week results?
sorry, I was lazy, here they are
Bansha Celtic...0 St. Michael's...1
Galbally United...1 Cahir Park...4
Two Mile Borris...1 Peake Villa...1
Clonmel Town...3 Rock Rovers...0
Same old, same old.
Is it true that alot of the players are leaving. I read on the town webpage that Danny Madigan has signed for Town. I also heard in the Local last night that Paul Kennedy has gone to Michael's and that Stephen Ryan is also coming to Town? Any truth in this.Quote:

Danny Madigan should be a good signing for you, good player. Surprised he left although it seems that Kenny O'Shea resigned from his position as manager of Clonmel Celtic on Monday. As i said before, Celtic are in serious trouble.
what was the fall out over in celtic?? where did town sign their keeper from that was playin for them last weekend,never heard of him before. first big match of the season next wednesday night, town and michaels, should be a good one
saints and michaels should be a good game alright. they ll be only too challenging for title again id say. relegation will be between galbally borris and rock rovers
Why is the Town v Michael's game been played on Wednesday? Given that players from both sides would be missing due to work, this game should be played on a Sunday.Quote:

Well Celtic were beaten 6-1 at home in their first game of the season! This after a terrible pre-season that saw them lose 5-1 to Clonmel Town B! Very few turning up for training, attitude all wrong from a lot of them and this from the same players that finished three points off the champions last year and were unlucky not to win the Tipp Cup.Quote:

that is such a ridiculous statement.. wise up..
it's better to play this fixture when there is something at stake rather than the end of the season when the league has been decided.
pity to see the celtic players throwing in the towel after one match but if you are not training how can you expect to put it up to any team who have been training very hard
celtic won 3-1 today versus galbally.
peake beat rock rovers 4-0 away.
cahir park 2-4 clonmel town
A good result but one that could have been so different if Cahir had taken their chances in the first half. How Tommy Kiely missed from 3 yards out with the keeper on the deck will remain one of lifes great mysteries. Would have put Cahir 2-0 up and town were struggling. Defensively Town were a shambles yesterday, individually played well but as a unit lacked any cohesion. First big game of the season Wed night- Town will be missing P. Scully, Moroney and Kiely. Should be a good tight match as always.
michaels 1-2 town . good result away from home
Any other results from last nightQuote:

Whats happening with St.Michaels have they lost players or are they just a bit crap at the moment. No disrespect to Galbally but in fairness they should not be beating Michael's on their own turf :eek:
Is the table a realistic view of the way things are going to go this year ? I am not in the country so would appreciate any opinions from people at home ;)
