Big point for Athea against Broadford yesterday. Broadford have dropped 7 points already this season but now that all GAA is over you would expect them to get very strong again as they usually do.
Shannonside look like they are relegated already, it's been a terrible start for them.

Shannonside are useless. Same every year. Up and down and up and down etc.
Any word on an Oscar Traynor team?
Silly statement. Shannonside were only formed in 2008, started life in the 1st division, won it at the first attempt and went into the premier div where they stayed until they went down in 2016. They came back up at the first attempt again this year. Yes the results have been useless so far, I will agree with you on that but the attraction for players to play soccer in the desmond league is at an all time low in my opinion.
Shannonside along with most other teams across west limerick have lost hugely influential players in the last 4/5 years or more due to not only retirements but a lack of interest or willingness to commit. On top of this the younger players coming through tend to put football ahead of soccer. I saw a post on here a few weeks back questioning why players are doing this. It's down to a number of key issues but from what I can see GAA has a more attractive social life, they mainly play in the summer, in front of bigger crowds and as a whole is better organised within the clubs. Until the powers that be in the desmond league realise this, the standard levels and interest in soccer in this county will continue to suffer. They need to try something to put a bit of life back into the thing and keep it going and the sooner the better. Rant Over!!!!!
There is no team this year.. management team were on place but by all acc there was lack of interest from premier players..
Any idea who was in place for management?
Heard it was Brian Barry and young Gallagher with Noel Murphy ncw and Kelleher Abbey.
Just goes to show again how poor this league has gone. Players don't want to know about extra training/matches even if it is to represent the league. If you went back 10 or 15 years you could probably get two squads of players that would have been interested in playing Oscar traynor.....and to add to it the desmond league won the bloody thing in 08! So the standard of players at that time was well above what it is now too.
Games will hardly go ahead this weekend due to the weather
All domestic games off, FAI games are going ahead.
Just a side note, and I have nothing against Broadford United seeing as they have no say in it, but I've never seen a team so blessed with cup luck. While two of the best teams in the League in the form of Rathkeale and Abbeyfeale draw each other in the FAI, Broadford draw Classic FC at home who are third in the Kerry Premier B.
In the Munster Junior Cup, they drew Athea United at home in the first round and will face either Shountrade of Division Two or AK United of Division One away from home if they beat Carrig Celtic away. Meanwhile, Ballingarry, Abbeyfeale, Glin and Newcastle West Rovers are all on the one side of the draw.
There's also last year's Munster Junior Draw which as I mentioned in last season's thread was very much in their favour.
Again, I know they have absolutely no input on the draw and can only beat what is put in front of them.

FAI Junior Cup 4th Round Draw
Clare/Desmond/Kerry
Carrig Celtic v Castleisland FC
Newmarket Celtic B v Killarney Celtic or Moher Celtic
Glin Rovers FC v Fenit Samphires FC
Shannon Town FC v Ballingarry FC
Avenue Utd v Rathkeale FC
Newmarket Celtic A v Broadford Utd
Ties to be played week ending 12th November 2017
Decent draw. Out of the 6 places to go through to the last 64 it means 5 desmond league teams will have a chance to be there. I expect rathkeale, Glin and Carrig to get to the next round. Ballingarry have a good chance but up against the current holders of the Clare premier and Broadford up against a Newmarket side which has a few Irish junior internationals and did very well in this competition last year. Nevertheless good to see so many desmond league teams in this round and hopefully a few in the next too.
