What kind of crowd was at the Desmond Cup Final ?

**limkdesmond** · 31/05/2011, 11:59 AM

It was a good crowd but I'd say the weather kinda stopped people from going..the stand was full and there was a good crowd around the railings

**limkdesmond** · 31/05/2011, 12:02 PM

What do people think the outcome of the premier division league cup semi finals will be?? I'll go for a shannonside v Newcastle west final..I'm only going by the Desmond cup performance on both teams..Newcastle west were very good in the Desmond cup final and rathkeale weren't..shannonside are a good team and drew with Newcastle west in both league games..that should e a cracking final if both teams get to the final

A bit harsh on Rathkeale that comment, IMO they were well on top up until the sending off, that totally changed the game and the 3rd goal before half-time made it very difficult. NCW did use the extra man very well and finished comfortable winners after 2 mistakes by Rathkeale in the 2nd half. I'd fancy them to bounce back against shannonside to set up a replay v NCW.

Going back to the Desmond Cup final I thought that Newcastlewest were the better team throughout even when Rathkeale took the lead. Mikey Lyons was a huge loss to Rathkeale as NCW dominated in midfield and deserved to win. IMO the best pass of the game came when young Nash put T. Quilligan through for Rathkeale's 2nd which he Quilligan scored. I think that Rathkeale will want to beat Shannonside big time and have another go at NCW, who I expect to beat Killeaney in the semi-final.
Also I would like to mention Glin Rovers who totally turned their season around and managed to retain their status in Premier League. Congratulations to every team for making the season one to remember even though I got a pile of predictions wrong.

The Division 3 final was called off tonight.

**limkdesmond** · 03/06/2011, 10:36 PM

Went to watch killeaney v Newcastle west tonight..the funniest game iv seen in a while..killeaney went up one nil with a long range shot that the goalie wud have saved only for the sun being in the ncw keepers eyes..ncw full back shay Lyons started up front and scored a hat trick..ncw took off 3 players just past half time and Noel Murphy went in goals and ncw keeper playing up front.killeaney came back 4-2 with a good individual goal by snow and then from a free kick.think it took a deflection..ncw got their act together and held on to win 4-3

Some pics from this one:

Good game yesterday between newcastle and rathkeale...both played good football with Newcastle just scoring before halftime,started in ncw left back,up to Daniel power who took on the defence and buried it to the back of the net..second goal was a great chip by Thomas butler from the edge of the box and Jason cummins made it 3-0 with a brilliant header

**JohnnyTheJockey** · 07/06/2011, 11:43 AM

Is there any update on the Divison 3 Cup final, Surely Askeaton were never that stupid to play a suspended player in the semi final (he scored 2 goals too), If the did they should be thrown out, Anyone know whats going on?
