Not for teams with lads away. I know this was discussed before but im my opinion starting off with the League Cups will have to be looked at again. Its a good preseason for the lads who couldnt do one because of GAA and the pressure would be off teams with regards to starting their best teams on Friday nights. I wouldnt be suprised if each Premier League team were missing at least 1 player from their starting 11 next week because of the rush trying to get home
I Agree with you 100% Leon, if players are away and rushing to get home, then making these matches and not going in fully warmed up, increases their chances of getting injured. I'd have to go with Newcastle West to win the Premier, with Abbeyfeale Glin & Broadford behind, (hopefully the GAA wont affect these teams too much)!!
I think it will be Newcastle west to win premier and abbeyfeale utd to finish second..
I heard tonight that Newcastle were playing rathkeale b in a friendly tonight and was called off with just under 20 to go?? Anyone hear why?? Heard ncw were up 4-1 at the time
Abbeyfeale vs Ballingarry (home)
Newcastle Afc vs Kildimo (home)
Rathkeale vs Askeaton (home)
Shannonside vs Broadford (draw)
Ncw Rovers vs Glin (draw)
Abbeyfeale vs Ballingarry (draw)
Newcastle West AFC vs Kildimo (home)
Rathkeale vs Askeaton (home)
Shannonside vs Broadford (away)
NCW Rovers vs Glin (away)
I was told last night that Askeatons new "A" manager has quit already and the B team has been scrapped.
Any truth in this 5B?

Newcastles game against rathkeale b was called off with 18mins to go the other night...the rathkeale management told the ref to blow it up and told their players to walk off the field because they didn't think that some decisions were not going their way..they got about 6 yellow cards on bad tackles and calling the ref names..but in fairness was childish..saying that I heard one or two of the rathkeale players saying that the ref was calling them names..it all ended when ncw got a free and the ref told the wall to get back 10yards but didn't tell the ncw player to wait for te whistle so ncw took it fast and scored from it..it all started so the management told their players to walk off and ref to blow it up
who was the ref in that game buddy? sounds petty and childish behaviour by ratkeale. They wont be able to do that when competitive season starts, we all know referees are poor in city an desmond lge but just get on with it, Did mike behan sign wit shannonside?
Refs can't get everything right in every game as everyone knows and didn't give us decisions that were ours but we got on with it.but seems they went by it the wrong way..if it was a league or cup game they would have seen red and not yellow..dunno if I can name the ref but look at glantine v st itas...a ref who won't take crap from anyone and is fair..
