Will Askeaton and Rovers be played this weekend?

Best of luck to both teams tonight. Hope it is a good game

Should be a good final tonight, 2 good footballing sides. I fancy NCW if all their players play to their ability. Rathkeale could get at NCW down the left where NCW are not the strongest though. Lets hope for a good game!

Was at the game very entertaining first half....the sending off before half time was always going to make things difficult but I thaught NCW were worthy winners in the end.... they have a very good record in the Desmond Cup

Match was well handeld by Liam O'Connor
pitch looked fantastic but I thaught 10 euro for entry was way over the top was it not a 5 euro last year?

What was the sending off for ? Last man back ? Deserved red card ?

Handball on the line. Stopped a certain goal. Unfortunate, but nothing the ref could do

A good game from a neutral supporter..a bad enough evening With the weather....Newcastle west were the better team on the night..with rathkeale having 11 players I thought ncw were better than rathkeale..the red card was a definitely sending off.power took a goal bound shot and the rathkeale defender dived and nearly fisted the ball out.man of the match Gary Shanahan deserved the award as he ran the rathkeale defence into the ground..two quilligans looked good on the wings especially Thomas..unlucky also with riordan getting injured..looked like the field was in great condition.well done to the groundsman for having it look spot on..well done to both teams on getting to the final and putting up a great game

It was 10 euro as well last year, i must say that the admission at the gate of 10 euro is an absolute joke, sumting the league will seriously have to look at
