Weekly Observer Premier Division
Abbeyfeale Utd V Ballingarry (abbeyfeale)
Askeaton V Broadford Utd (broadford)
Newcastle West V Carrig Celtic (newcastle west)
Glin Rovers V Newcastle West Rovers (draw)
Shannonside FC V Rathkeale (draw)
I think the fixture list again this season is a joke. It is the same now for the 4th season running. Typical desmond league living in the past.
Result: Askeaton 8-1 Broadford
Shannonside 0, Rathkeale 3. (michael Quilligan 3)
Abbey 2, Ballingarry 0
Ncw 1, Carrig celtic 0
how did the games go the weekend??
anyone look impressive.
i see newcastle won 1-0 did they scrape a result or what??
rathkeale 3-0 and quicks scored hat-trick. very good signing.
what about glin what was that result?
we were shockin against rathkeale couldnt pass a ball.
rathkeale outplayed us totally.
quicks is a good signing for rathkeale.
Who played in goals for ye Shannon boy? Or is Chris Hayse giving it another year?Originally Posted by Shannon Boy
I heard from 1 or 2 carrig players today , they said NCW seemed to have gone back an awful lot from last year, lucky for the result. Not surprising really with the players they have lost.
Ya Glin game was called off pitch flooded they were suppose to play Ncw Rovers. Ncw A will still be very good this season heard Steven Kelly played for them Sunday. Will be a hard team too beat.
quix is a good player and good signing for rathkeale but sure he is out for few weeks now with an knee injury he picked up on sunday..how long will he stay in rathkeale afc for??heard broadford were useless against askeaton..
buddy geary try and predict the results for next sundays games??
Thats all buddygeary is good at is predications! His getting a run these days now that the 3 boys are gone.
Weekends fixtures, another though ask for Shannonside, and the first real test for Askeaton, Ballingarry is always a tough place to go and get a result.

abbeyfeale 1-0 shannonside.
a draw was def what shannonside deserved from their efforts in this game,abbey hardly threatened, the penalty they got was not a penalty, and shannonside had a dead cert of a penalty claim turned down in injury time.but that's the standard of refereeing we have to deal with in this league.if shannonside had full team out,which they also didn't have last sunday, they would have taken this average abbeyfeale team-
i think its going to be a tough premier division this year..didnt think askeaton wud be good but they are proving everyone in the league that they are no push overs this year with 6 points outta 6...rathkeale v newcastle west was an even enough game..all rathkeale in the first and and newcastle in the second half..draw was a fair result.suprised with broadfords victory against ncw rovers.thought rovers wud beat them but broadford must have had all the footballers there..i thought shannonside wud get a draw against abbeyfeale..carrig beat glin 3-1!!! good result for carrig..are glin title tenders this year?? heard few their players left??? is that true?

ALL MATCHES ON AT 10.30AM OVER THE ALL IRELAND HURLING FINAL
your right the league is going to be there for the taking this season! askeaton have got off to good start and have given themselves every chance of safety and maybe more. yea glin lost few players,one of their strikers went to killeaney???dont know what the appeal would be there-
How are we all doing?
Just a small opinion on the desmond league, The one problem it seems to have is competition with the GAA. You can be lucky and meet a team on Sunday morning with football or hurling championship the same evening and hammer them due to lack of players. Next week they can go out with all their GAA players and do the hammering themselves. You can pick up 3 lucky points if you hit the right Sunday and it does not reflect the quality of the league especially at the begining of the season.
Anyone agree?
