Relagation prob between ncw rovers killeaney and abbey, ncw and broadford to fight it out for champs.

**southern kid** · 03/09/2012, 11:40 AM

The gaa has taken over in recent years with the hurlers & footballers winning county titles.
I wouldn't rule out shannonside, very good manager this season from what I've heard.
Strange the players leaving NCW Rovers, they had a decent side at the end of last season staying up comfortably in the end.
Shannonside to win it with broadford & NCW for 2nd.
Killeaney & any of the others by the sounds of it to be relegated.
Best of luck to everyone involved for the season ahead.

This was my revised prediction after finding out a bit more from within the club. Great to have you back on here skyblue after a couple of seasons during which you were very quiet,rathkeale being sh1t last couple of seasons might have had something to do with that of course. It's amazing when a fellas team has a few decent results.
Seriously It's great to see rathkeale doing well again,great facilities and always play nice football.

Some good games in the premier this weekend, killeaney looking for there first point out of 4 games,glin and abbey is always tight , and a top of the table clash between carrig and rathkeale.

I dont see why everyone is so hyped about Shannonside. I saw them play a friendly against a division 1 side and they were very average and lost, although I think they had to give them a couple of players because they couldnt field a team. The 2 most impressive players on the pitch were on the Kilcornan team. A center forward, Smithy i think, he was extremely impressive, surprised not to see a big team snap him up, their goalie was very good aswell. Shannonsides wasnt. Im impressed with Rathkeale this year. 2 Lyons brothers to come back in to that team yet, they will go a long way i think. Personally I think its a toss up between NCW and Broadford. Rathkeale will be close, Shannonside maybe top half. I havent seen Carrig yet this year, I might go and see them this weekend or next. I was at a couple of division 1 games aswell, Athea are looking good, really solid at the back. I hear Kildimo are going very well but havent seen them, i believe they signed a few new players this year.

I see Declan Normoyle played the first 2 games for Breska despite being suspended, what happens there

Ya must agree with you re:shannonside i watched them against ncw they had alot of the ball but couldnt use it,very poor footballers for the most part with the exception of 3/4 there keeper kept them in it, think they may struggle to stay up, big come down from last season

i see broadford were beaten 3-0 by st brendans park today. no surprise with most of the broadford players out last night flaming drunk after their senior football victory.what happened to rathkeale being relegated?i dont think so after they getting 10 points out of 12 and top of the table so far.ncw rover seem to be in serious trouble after the defeat to killeaney which i can see both those teams going down to the first division,abbeyfeale got a good result away to glin winning 4-1..any reports from any of those games today?

**nathanbrown** · 09/09/2012, 6:48 PM

I heard Shannonside have signed 2 players from Kilcornan. Smithy, I mentioned him before, excellent player. and Darragh Walsh. 2 good signings but surely that will cripple Kilcornan

**soccer8** · 09/09/2012, 7:23 PM

Any reports from any of the games? NCW rovers look to be in trouble already....big wins for Abbeyfeale and Rathkeale

**fanaticfan** · 09/09/2012, 8:44 PM

very poor result for glin after they drawing with newcastle west last weekend but saying that abbeyfeale could have played really well

**fanaticfan** · 09/09/2012, 8:47 PM

newcastle west were supposed to play broadford but broadford were in action in the munster senior cup trophy and shannonside were supposed to play ballingarry but one of those teams asked for the weekend off or something
