Division 2
Breska Rovers 0 Rathkeale B 2

**Notaclue** · 25/04/2010, 11:25 PM

After looking at todays results the premier division is too close to call but I think that Rathkeale will prevail. In the first division I think that Killeaney will get through if they win their home games and beat Feenagh on Tuesday evening away. Rathkeale B had a good win away today and could get promotion ahead of a Kilcolman side who seem to be going off the boil. Big surprise in the 3rd div.Lge Cup with Creeves going out, so I think it's probably a Granagh Utd. chance there to win it. The div.3 playoff game going to Broadford Utd. B was a surprise to me but I would expect that both Creeves Celtic and Granagh Utd. would both win and get promoted with Granagh Utd. eventually claiming the title.

I doubt you would be tipping Rathkeale A to win the premier if you saw the display they put on yesterday. It would be safe to say 'the worst i have ever seen'. But well done to NCW they played some good football yesterday and it's safe to say the title race is wide open now.

Maybe so but every team is entitled to an off day and I think that this may have been Rathkeale's. Theyr'e home to Abbeyfeale on Sunday so they have an immediate chance to put things right straightaway. Newcastle are home to Shannonside also

Hi boggom, if you click here there's a list of all Desmond League games I've covered over the last 2 seasons.

**Have It** · 27/04/2010, 10:53 AM

Antone have any news from the meeting last night about the proposed changes to the league structure ?

I haven't heard anything but i hope to god that they leave it alone. Would make the league a right farce. Its tough to get off to a winning start with players still involved in Gaa and if you don'tget results from your first few league games then your out of the running

**hugh** · 27/04/2010, 2:01 PM

Seems like a really short list of fixtures for the weekend starting the 7th of May. Anyone know when the League cup finals (1st division in particular) are on?

I heard of a different proposal to cut the top few leagues down to 8 teams. It would mean 3 being relegated and 1 going up. Obviously it would be the season after next but I for one think its not a bad idea at all. Can anyone tell me if this was discussed at the meeting Mon night. It might make the leagues more competitive and less games is always a bonus especially with the amount of cup competitions.
