there are 2 goalkeepers on the the team in billy quirke and pa kenrick.. there are better players in the premier division,dunno why he picked players from the first division instead of players from the premier divison..he probably picked the st itas players cos isnt he from there??? ok joe mcauliffe is a handy player but i dont rate the other two players.....i also think maurice carrig (askeaton),thomas geary,sean cronin (newcastle west),alan o shea,mikey lyons (rathkeale),joe kelliher (abbeyfeale),johhny shanahan(broadford) would be better players to have on that squad than the first division players,no disrespect to them
totally agree mikey and Alan are two of the best in the league hands down how in the name of god is there three from Kileaney and st.Itas id keep Mcauliffe st.itas and maybe O'Connor from kileaney its just an opinion.......Sean Cronin NCW should also be included....Its true about the Glin Boys never show up for Oscar traynor hopeffully they will this time....I know we will never agree with the final panel no matter what it is

Haha this Desmond league panel is a joke. Sorry now im not making fun of anyone on it but for the love of god like!!! Is this the final panel or a training panel or what??? sorry now ive not seen the observer with being living in the big smoke.
Not too sure JTJ about that.
Like the most important thing is to get the panel correct the first time.They players mentioned above that are not picked will hardly come even if their asked.It depends on the individual of course.
Seany King and Francis Moore of Carrig are good enough players aswell in my opinion if you were going to ask players out of the Premier.I have to admit I dont know a few of the players mentioned on the squad.
only reason i think the killeaney guys are in the team is cos isnt he the manager of killeaney b team?? so he probably has to keep the killeaney board happy..also trying to keep his old team st itas happy tooOriginally Posted by soccer8
I agree with most of the previous threads but in recent years I'm told that some players who were asked to play just didn't bother which is a shame. It should be an honour to represent your league and try to achieve what Christy Purcell's players did a few years ago. Perhaps the top players have too many commitments and don't wish to add the Oscar Traynor to their lists. If I remember correctly many years ago if selected one could be suspended for not showing up to represent the league.Does anyone recall this?
No Yorkshire rose I dont recall that, your showing your age there !!
I'd like to know what Western Gales take is on the squad being a Desmond League committee member and all ! Instead of just posting results all the time !
Paul (Ducie) Hogan-Rathkeale-RIP
Paul sadly died last weekend in Paris.His removal is Thursday evening and burial Friday morning.
Paul was only 20 and usually played left back for anyone that knew him.
the two boys from rathkeal should be on it and i think ray massey should have got a try on the team all the games he has played he did well for his first season in prem.div1 players some are handy but shouldnt you try put the prem players in first
John Joe Sheehy should be the keeper, i agree probably better players in the premier. If there was to be 1st div players on the squad Kelly(Ballingarry) & Hogan(Kildimo) would be 2 of the better options. But anyone care to have a guess how many players will pull out, from what I've heard most only found out they were in the squad from the paper on wednesday, surley PJ should have made contact to make sure they were interested first. I'm sure though everyone on here will wish whoever does eventually play the best of luck with it.
Sorry but with all the strikers ( power, Quaid, griffin, Behan, lynch and Riordan there is no room for ray Massey. He is food but doesn't have a patch on those six. Six in my opinion is too much. My only worry is that apart from Gary Egan there is no creative centre mid player in the squad. Should definetly add Cronin, Kelleher and Lyons.
I know John Kelleher gas been a stalwart for the league in the past and in my opinion is too slow to play along side o Donnell. Geary from Newcastle is the best aerial defender in the league and him and o Donnell already know each others games and would make it very tough for the opposition. I think o keefee and o shea will slot in nicely beside them.
Intersting to see how many of them will play for pj. I'm afraid from what I heard not a lot which is a pity. People won't follow fools!!!!
Collins & Joyce(NCW Rovers) & Mcenery(St.Ita's) are also strikers, so thats 9!!!
Good Luck to Rathkeale in The Munster senior Cup would be great to see a Desmond side have a run in the Competition. Derby Match in NCW should be a good game as both teans have made a decent enough start. NCW have had a few great results last few weeks but i fancy NCW Rovers if at full strength, from what I heard they gave Shannonside a real fright last weekend.
Agreed it would be good to see Rathkeale go far in the Munster senior cup, tall order for them, but they're a very good side, so fingers crossed for them. Derby game should be good, both decent sides, so makes for an interesting match up. As for last week giving Shannonside a fright... not sure where that came from really, the result suggests it was a lot closer than it was. Shannonside should have scored six or seven and the game put to bed long before NCW Rovers second.

Some shots from this one:
Shannonside 4 - 0 Askeaton; 3 -0 at half time courtesy of Behan 2 and O'Connor. Behan completed his (perfect, header, left then right) hat trick with the 4th mid way through the second half. Good performance all round.
Congratulations to Rathkeale.
