Hardly be matches on the weekend
NCW Rovers voted in favor of merging with NCW AFC at a meeting last night.
NCW Town from next season on
So Rovers in the Premier and Afc more than likely getting promoted. Will they have a strong team next season? Will Seoirse Joyce and Tony Quaid go back to them from ballingarry next season? What does that mean with who goes down and comes up?
I suppose like every season fanatic the league committee will decide the divisions when they see what teams are entered at the beginning of the season. There was a lot of speculation Killeaney wouldn't have a team this year so it could be another team next year. As regards the 2 boys I suppose it will be up to whoever is in charge if they'd want them back, they didn't show much loyalty this season
I would be willing to say it's unlikely that they would be welcomed, especially Joyce, Rovers very upset with him.
Tony maybe
Why would Rovers be upset with Joyce? Did he do something? They prob won't go back now cos they will be looking for money from clubs now they are getting cash with ballingarry.
Let's just say that when he needed help in the past, the club were there for him.

People are acting like Ballingarry are the first team around here to pay players.
Are they paying more than others? Probably, but don't think for a second that they're the only team doing so.
Yeah true have heard of players and clubs numerous times over the past couple of years getting a bit of coin. I’m sure Cruyffs comment above has something to do with rovers helping him out with cash over the years, maybe you could fill everyone in Fanaticfan seeing as you seem to know who’s getting paid what as you have mentioned it several times already in this forum this year?
Also an i right in saying that Abbey have played 7 of their 9 league games at home already. A good start is everything and they certainly have the best chance of a good start with that fixture list.
Heard the amalgamation was passed alright - no more Newcastle West derbies...
Could possibly be 3 Newcastle West Town junior teams next season with their numbers!!
Re: payment to players don't see the need for it personally, if anything would it not undermine the current players at any club?
Surprise but well deserved wins for Carrig Celtic (v Broadford) & AK (v Ballingarry) in the Desmond Cup, wheels seem to be coming loose on the Ballingarry season; losing to 10 man Broadford in the league and knocked out of the Desmond Cup.
Abbeyfeale looking good at the top of the premier too; looks a case of by how much & not if they win the league.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YA BEAUTY! What a hit son... what a hit!
On the note of the wheels coming loose in Ballingarry, the same can be said for Broadford at this stage.
Out of the league, knocked out of the Munster Junior at home to a side that are no great shakes and going out of the competition that they're reigning champions of with a whimper.
They'll have a job on their hands if they're to win the League Cup having drawn Rathkeale away in the Quarter Final.

Is that draw available on line shearer ?
Not yet I don't think, I just happened to have a photo from the Observer at the back of my phone.
Thanks. I must of missed it looks like it was drawn a few weeks ago
Are there going to be a lot of doubling up of games when the clocks go forward or how are the Desmond League going to tackle the problem with the weather that's been going on for the last few months (earlyish December?) ? Don't think I've ever seen the weather affect a season so badly in the Desmond League.
I think Friday games are coming back soon.
