Limerick Desmond League 2010/11

[soccer8]

It's definitely Abbeyfeale's pitch, must say it's an unusual "feature" they added during the summer (don't remember it being there last year)
...but maybe it's a good alternative to the normal mud pit on the goal line you see in alot of pitches!!

Those mounds has been there for a few seasons now....

Tossie Butler a big asset to NCW along with David O'Connor, will Mark Doherty rturn aswell?

Any other transfer news?

Lads it's sad to say that mike Sullivan from rathkeale afc has passed away in a accident..such a fine player..sad sad news.from every1 in the league may he rest in peace

The correct size of the goals SHOULD be 2.44 metres ( 8ft ) height and 7.32 metres ( 24ft) width.. Not always the case as they sink in many grounds which is a bit ****ty...Hope that helps you snafu.

Ballingarry's goals at the start of the year were about 6 ft in height.

I suppose Doherty will come back now as well. Its amazing how the Limerick League adventure ended quickly for most of these players eg Butler, Lynch, Riordan, Beehan etc etc. Or maybe their true loyaly to their clubs persuaded them to come back, I doubt it though.

The only thing I doubt is your knowledge of Limerick junior soccer Leon !! Behan was with Regional for 3-4 seasons Im sure.Riordan won a league and a Lawson cup medal with Janesboro the season he was in there.Lynch was with Regional for a season and a half.Did he not train wit the Junior international team after leaving them.Butler was making the team often in Regional and is thought highly of in there.Nash has a lot of goals scored for Reginal this year aswell.The Powers from NCW were not so successful with their ventures into the big smoke!

If you have any futher queries please dont hesitate to ask !

Behan played for maybe 5-6 seasons with Regional, dont think its fair to tar him with the "ended quickly" tag, i'd say travel, work committments, location has alot to do with players returning to their local clubs.

Finally somebody talking some sense!! personal commitments have a lot if not all to do with players coming back playing with there local respective teams and from what I have heard the grass isn't any greener in the "big smoke" as it was called by an earlier post anyways. I my opinion it is great for the Desmond league that these players are returning for instance look at Shannonside Behan has had a big impact since coming back for them unbeaten in the league this year a prospect that nobody would have forseen. If it means improving the league by these lads returning they should be welcomed!

Well said nunugget

Best of luck to the teams in the fai tomorrow. It's always good to see a few Desmond teams in the open draw of the competition. Would love to see a team go far. I might be wrong but where Abbeyfeale the last team to get a good run in it?

Newcastle west 3-2 bunratty

Good contested game between both sides..newastle played better football on freezing afternoon. 0-0 at half time and Newcastle scored through Daniel power after a great through ball from Sean Cronin,power shot first time into the top corner... Bunratty levelled after bad defending but soon after Cronin restored the lead and and put them further ahead but soon after bunratty got one back and ncw ran out 3-2 winners -and into the open draw 5th round..
