playin sallypark tonight, missing alot of players but should still be too strong for them.good run out against town their sunday
premier shield final
Nenagh Celtic v Rearcross
1st Division
Thurles town V Ballymackey
2nd Division
Nenagh Celtic B V Thurles Celtic
3rd Division
Unsure yet??
Any Predictions
Im sure Nenagh Celtic will beat Rearcross.
Not sure about Thurles Town vs Ballymackey. We have achieved our goal of getting the extra match practice for the league. A win would be nice for Ballymackey. I dont think Thurles Town will be any mugs, especially playing in their home pitch.
Not sure about Nenagh Celtic B v Thurles Celtic. Presume Nenagh Celtic B should be the better team.

Id say the third division will be gurtagarry anyways, they are playing well at the moment.
On the Celtic / Sallypark Match, it was a bit of a drab affair, I know Celtic were missing quite a few players, We were missing 7, and we just dont have the strenght in depth that celtic would have, I think the 5-1 scoreline flattered Celtic slightly, probably 3-1 would have been a fairer result, as we hit the crossbar had some good shots well saved and gifted them their fourth goal, and also celtic got a penalty which was a little dubious from my angle anyway.
When we have our full team back, which is going to take a couple of weeks i would expect us to be a lot closer to celtic / town. Not sure if we will be good enough to get a point or three out of them but there certainly wont be another bad scoreline like that this year.....i hope!!
Well sallyman.. We ( clough ) are playing ye saturday evening in the league and like ye we are still missing alot of players ..
What are ye expecting from this game.. Win / draw .. ??
Wonder why it is that lots of teams are missing players for the start of the season.. It seems to happen us every year..
sallyman what game were you at.dont mean to be ignornant but we missing five of the best players in the league and 5-1 didnt flatter us as it should have been alot more.we missed more chances and if taken could have been double figures, should have had 5,6 or more at half time.our keeper made 4 saves in whole game.as for the penalty our forward got flattened so dont see the argument there.admit our fourth goal was gifted awful mistake by your keeper and centre half.your keeper had a fine game made lots of great saves. your centre forward is a good player, miles ahead of everyone else, he a step or two ahead of rest your players who not on same level as him.
your pitch is like a match box and certaintly ye will take points there.best of luck for the rest of season.
lads all this crack about missing 5,6,7 players is all a load of **** because at the end of the day every club can only field 11 players so you need a squad not a starting team and sallyman sorry to offend you but if you havent the strength in depth we have then thats yer fault, no point in using it as an excuse. this crack of missing lads is all bull because most teams are never at full strength. we have made a good start so far and hopefully the shield will put us in good shape for the league.
on another note best wishes to derek mckenna who suffrered a bad break in the leg against nenagh town, best wishes derek from all at nenagh celtic.
Celticlads is right, you need to have a strong panel, because theres always going to be something up that will stop you having a full strength team,its all about have a squad of 16/18 players.
Id say hoping for a draw but really expecting to lose mr man, were missing at least as many as mid week with holidays and lads gone traveling for the summer to the US etc.
I dont think weve been missing as many lads as this year before, wed normally be missing 2 or 3 but we really are missing a lot, im not even counting lads that are focusing on hurling in the seven missing against celtic.
@daz22
I think well agree to disagree, we had some very good chances aswell, your keeper made at least 3 - 4 really good saves and we also hit the crossbar, ye destroyed us in the first 20 - 30 minutes in fairness, we werent prepared well enough and by the time we got anyway into the game we were 3-0 down.
Yeah our centre forward is a good player alright, but to be honest our best player is paidi ryan crouch, had 19 goals in 18 games last season, mostly from midfield, hes missing for the next week or two on holidays, so hes obviously a massive loss.
@celticlads
It was daz that actually mentioned missing players, i was only chipping in with our numbers aswell. I was only stating a fact about not having the strenght in depth. Not trying to blame celtic for that at all. Its our first year in the premier, its a learning curve, im just stating our second team needs to improve to provide good cover for the A's.
@Noli
Its great to have a squad of 16 / 18, but im afraid the situation in our own club is that no one wants to be no 12, and theyre unwilling to stay turning up if they are. We dont have the underage structure in place to provide new players every year, thats coming and hopefully in the next few years we will have a youths team which will provide great competition for the senior teams. Thats a big difference between the likes of celtic / town and some of the other teams in the premier, they have good underage structures providing new talent every year.
I know the first or A team is deemed the most important team in the club but unless you have a proper structure in a club the club will always struggle, underage football is vital that the right coaches are picked and its mentored properly otherwise you will always fail in the future.
The club im involved in has at least one team if not two teams from u7 all the way thru to u16 and youths,this lets lads(and girls)develop at the right time so there not skipping building blocks in there football education.
This will mean in a few years the seniors will have a conveyor belt of lads coming thru and a point to the other poster who said no one like being no 12 well thats just tough either the lad realises that its a squad game and once the effort is put in he'll get his go because its very rare to have the same starting eleven available every week as lads have to work/hurl/holidays/family/hungover
Anyone know the fixtures for the weekend?

all fixtures on aertel page 444. updated too. Ballymackey away to clonmore at 2.00
We lost 3-2 to Thurles Town, they deserved it on the balance of play. They had a lot more chances than us. After all their chances we had one chance with literally the last kick of the game but their keeper made a fine save.
On the other hand on a smaller pitch I think they would beatable.

Celtic V Town in 3 weeks time, very early in the season. be good game.who ever gets head start here puts themselves in great position in the league as MJC following week,MSC and FAI kick in after that.so one team could be playing catch up
was the 1st division final any good ,quality wise?
premier shield final in thurles last night. Celtic 5-0 Rearcross
Id say it wasnt great to watch. Were still a work in progress towards playing "real football".
Newtown Celtic FC RIP (1992-2007)
