Old Bridge v Rock Rovers now in in Carrick saturday night at 7.Theres some kind of dog show on in Ferryhouse over the weekend so thats the reason for venue change
Clonmel Town
I believe Town are quite simply in rag order. Michael Coady, Robbie Costigan, Simon Scully,Rory Kiely and David McGrath have left. Ronan Stanley has come back but apart from that nobody. Training has been poor and I heard they got a hammering from evergreen in Kilkenny last Saturday.
I always felt that it was a mistake getting rid of McKeever and my fears could prove to be correct. I hope I am wrong. Wish Martin Quinlivan all the best but it looks as if he has a hell of a lot of work to do
Was McKeever "gotton rid of" ?? I thought he had just had enough......I see both the Coadys are with Carrick and I believe Costigan has returned to Cahir.... Town will really struggle I think this year if they can't replace these players, Paul Scully is still on crutches so that doesn't look good either.....Best of luck to Blossom......On another note I heard a rumour that Pat Dolan is lending a hand up in St Michaels, anybody know if their is any truth to this?

sorry i havent got back to any of ye about queries about the irish soccer team training in cooke park,been really busy with it.
great fixture for us next week,and always a brilliant game.cashel town.lookin forward to that game.we will see what cashel town are made of now.
as for clonmel town they will be aright.they've always had a good setup good youth structure,big town so i wouldnt worry about town at all.but those players are big losses.
Yes I was happy when Martin Quinlivan took over but it appears that the old saying " never go back" is ringing true. I see in the Nationalist today that Dwayne Burns is in jail awaiting a drugs charge, so thats the end of him. He will be inside for a while and surely cannot be allowed play for the club again. Ian Fraher has decided to join Clonmel Celtic. Town are in a mess and will struggle. Its very sad
Can you post a link to this story please? I believe the Nationalist has a website.
EDIT: Mentioned on the TippFM site here (thanks Schumi), I can only assume there aren't all that many Dwayne Burns around.

while town have lost some fantastic players they can still call on the likes of tony scully, john shanahan, aaron moroney, ian barnes, ronan stanley and raymie condon. its hardly a crisis sometimes clubs go through changes it happens most tipp clubs every 2 years!! this time its clonmel towns turn. st michaels have not won anything for 4 years i think so the "big" clubs are not immune to this. Mybe it will make for a more open league, maybe a different winner, maybe st michaels will take over for a few years now and then again dont be one bit surprised if clonmel town have won the league yet again!!
This is true but from what I ma hearing, training has been very very poor, with really samll numbers. Dwayne Burns should never be allowed play for the club again. It would be a disgrace if he did
its just a transition the way it worked out a lot of players have left at the same time not because there is anything fundamentally wrong with the club but just for genuine reasons. costigan back to cahir centenary year and all that and apart from that i've heard that he will be concentrating on gaa anyway this year. Michael coady probably just had enough of travelling up and down 3 nights a week plus the fact there is a very good club on his doorstep. rory kiely to cork city which is fair enough. paul scully to injury. its just unfortunate that they all came at the same time other years it would have been maybe one at a time. as for trainin its hard when you have lost those numbers becuase apart from quality there is not that many players out there moving around. who would you like the club to sign?
has michael coady signed for carrick or rock??
carrick united.
has Paul Kennedy left Celtic?
yes signed for st michaels.
Im sure Celtic will give Paul a friendly reception Saturday night after his late defection to Saints.
Its going to be interesting to see where he plays if at all. There is a few new boys at Saints its going to be hard to keep them all happy, but i suppose thats a positive thing for the manager rather than putting out a patch work quilt.
So it begins the TSDL 09/10 nice to have something to talk about again. How do we survive without it......!
i'm sure celtic wont give him any kind of reception. alot of players have left the club over the last few years just one of those things. you just get on with it.
i thought celtic were in position to mount a challenge after their cup win, must not be the case though if kennedys head was turned by saints. sets up a nice clash between the sides at the weekend
he is a very good player to lose alright. celtic will just carry on with what they have there is not much you can do about losing players you just have to get on with it and do as well as you can in each game. it's hard to know how celtic will do. they are not going to win the league that is for sure but hopefully they can win more games than they lose.
any reports on tonight's games?
Peake Villa 1-1 Clonmel Town
Aaron Moroney missed pen.
