Glin rovers b 2-1 ballingarry
What a big shock...looks like rathkeale are in trouble this year over losing to Glin Rovers A today 1-0..I think they are bottom of the table!! I could be wrong..any reports from other games?
Rovers v shannonside was a very tight game. Goal came 20 minutes into 2nd half, ball took a deflection from a shannonside strike and trickled into the corner of the net
No of course not!Bring it up with league commitee at the next meeting... but there is a shortage of refs already and seeing the amount of abuse they get week in week out i cant see many young fellas signing up to be refs... i know i wouldnt.Originally Posted by 'El Nino'

Reidy Cup Final
BIT OF HELP PLEASE
Note from viewing Tralee Dynamoes thread, they have a team photo from 1968, titled Desmond League Tuohy Cup winners.
Was this a knock-out cup or the trophy for the then league winners. Aware the league website does have a detailed honours board from the early 1970's, but the prior period dating back to the league formation is undocumented. As the league history states league commenced mid 60's. Known that Tralee possibly Killarney participated in Desmond prior to establishment of Kerry League in 1971.
Can only assume that any Desmond clubs in existance (Askeaton, Adare NWCTWest) prior to commencement of Desmond League would have participated in the Limerick league, would anyone know of any successes in the Limerick league ? eg Prem League , Lawson Cup winners.etc
Why is P.O Brien doing a Div. 2 and Div. 3 game this weekend after doing a Premier game last weekend.?Just wondering how do they allocate refs?
Best of luck to Abbey Sunday against St Michaels.
histronut this cup was caledd The Murphy Cup not the Tuohy Cup which is a Limerick City Cup.
Rathkeale are 50 years in existance this year.
I dont think any desmond league team would have played in any of those competitions.
[SIZE=2] The founding teams were Askeaton, Killonan, Newcastlewest and Tralee Dynamos.In 1971 the clubs from Kerry left the the Desmond League to form the Kerry League however as new clubs emerged in the Desmond catchment area the League expanded to four separate divisions.These four teams contested the first league championship which was won by Killonan. The Munster Football Association presented the league with a junior challenge cup. The first winners were Newcastle. The original management committee comprised the following: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Liam McKenna, J.P Walsh, Joe Downes, Jack O'Rourke, John E. Barrett, Sean Fitzgerald, Ed. Moloney and Michael Mulcair.
Newcastlwest and Foynes played in the Limerick league for a few years as I can recall

Does anyone agree that the standard of the Desmond league has deteriorated greatly over the last few seasons?
lets face it shannonside who are leading the premier are a fairly average team with less than average players...........is this team really going to represent us well in the munster senior if they win?????????????
All junior teams are gone from the Munster Senior cup now they have formed another cup just for Junior teams.
Yes the standard is slipping and with the ammount of lads who have left and are planning on leaving for Australia doesn't help but I suppose every league is having this problem. The youths league is a shambles and doesn't look good for the future teams giving walkovers week in week out makes the future look bleek.......
if your saying that shannonside are a very average team then what are you saying about all the teams below them .remember they are unbeaten this year in league and desmond cup so they cant be that bad.
any one got any idea whats the story with league cup ,games are starting to bad up a bit,they should run it off during the week in clonreask pitch,its wasted there not playing any games on it.if they had a couple games there during the week t wouldnt take long to run it off for all divisions
League games left to play - Premier (44) Division 1 (30) Division 2 (35) Division 3 (27)
Division 4 (13)
The very best of luck to Abbeyfeale United tomorrow against St. Michaels hopefully they will get a good crowd and support from Desmond league followers kick off 2:30
