Limerick Desmond League 2011/12

Totally agree, I can't understand why the des league didn't just go for it from the start as they had nothing to lose. Fair play to Kerry though and best of luck in next round

The last few seasons have been poor and we have not been competitive, looking at the results in the FAI, Desmond teams are ahead of Kerry teams individually, so should this not carry on to the Oscar Traynor sides? It was 4 - 1 over the2 legs which is a bit if a hiding. IMO there needs to be a manager who is currently not involved with a club and attends games within the league regularly,This has not been the case over the last couple of seasons and it has to be addressed.The commette need to start looking for next seasons manager now and take this competition seriously again!

I agree with aldo..Desmond should have gone for it with playing 4-3-3 formation..well done to all the players that turned up to represent the league..shame on the players that didn't turn up and didn't want to play for their league..but then again they probably had good reasons..

Bit of a shock with NCW only drawing 2 - 2, with ballingarry down to 10 men for half the game. Broadford are still flying it. Best of luck to all desmond league sides in FAI this weekend, hope they all come out the right side.

Its going to be very close this year Broadford being the most consistant at the moment....Glin and Ballingarry will be tough teams to beat also and could take more points off the top teams...Shannonside dropped points again this wekend

Best of luck in the FAI Junior cup this wekend....

NCW will not be as strong as the last few seasons,they have lost 3/4 players from their squad.Shanahan up front is their main threat.They will still be decent and a good test for ye.

**buddygeary23** · 23/11/2011, 8:36 PM

We have lost 3 players this year but 2 of those players were not playing when we played avenue utd 2 years ago..it was a good game 2 years ago played out in lees road (I think it's called that) and they were a sound bunch of lads who looked after us with grub afterwards in a pub..it should be a good game this weekend

Fai Junior Cup Draw

Newcastle West FC or Avenue Utd. v Straide & Foxford or Castlebar Celtic

Tralee Dyn or Shannonside FC v Howth Celtic or Sheriff YC
Moneygall FC or Bridge Utd v Dingle Bay FC or Ballingarry FC

**tricky** · 24/11/2011, 9:18 AM

Great incentive to do well in fai for des league sides this weekend with potential home draws in next round, with the exception of ballingarry who would have a fair trip

**buddygeary23** · 24/11/2011, 1:38 PM

Great draw for the Desmond sides if they come through this weekends fixtures...all home draw except ballingarry who would be away in Tipperary..ncw and shannonside both got great teams in castlebar celtic and sheriff who should progress to the 5th round..sheriff one of te favourites and castlebar always a good side..dunno anything about the teams broadford got

I think your jumping the gun a bit here.I dont even think Shannonside will get past Dynamos nevermind Sherriff.

**buddygeary23** · 27/11/2011, 3:42 PM

Your right there realcelt. Shannonside beaten 2-0 against Tralee dynamos..Newcastle beat Avenue United 4-2 on penalties after drawing 3-3..Keith Power scored a screamer.avenue levelled..Newcastle back in the lead after a o.g and avenue got two goals but Tony Quaid scored for ncw..power,Quaid,Scott Hurley and Noel Murphy scored the penalties for ncw and Noel Murphy saved avenues 3rd and 4th penalties..
