When will fixtures be released? What's the big secret wit them each year,all other leagues know 2or 3 wks in advance..

They leave it late so as teams won't have time to change games I'd say, if they gave notice the club's with GAA players would look to move fixtures, I'd say they just don't want the hassle of accommodating changes with referee's and so forth. Bit of a conspiracy theory I know but it's plausible.
Funny how some clubs always seem to get their first game or two moved, privvy to information that the average club are not perhaps.
How are teams shaping up?
I hear the 2 Murphy's from Athea signing for Broadford.
Quilligan's, Joyce, Quaid with NCW.
Lyons' brothers leaving Rathkeale.

Rathkeale seem to be in trouble alright with the 2 Lyons’s, Doherty and Pa Ahern all looking for new clubs
Abbey appear to have very little done but have signed Kevin Murphy from Athea
Ncw have a lot of new faces by all accounts but have lost all their challenge games
Broadford have signed Darren Murphy from Athea and Shaka from NCW plus have a few lads back from Australia. Beaten by regional last weekend

**southern kid** · 07/08/2018, 3:48 PM

You never know who is with who until first game...doubt ratkeale will loose all them and ahern has not been playing with limerick sides in challenges.. broadford seem to have good bit done alrite but it's early days.. Was dat Kevin Murphy with janesboro last season, quality player if same lad..

kb utd b team played creeves in friendly today finished 4-3 to creeves good game creeves could surprise a few in 2nd division this year. Kb utd a beat glantine 2-1 fitness could play big part in the a teams season this year. Some good ball players in there just seem to run out of steam very early.

**soccer8** · 14/08/2018, 1:13 AM

Who is peter clarke?

**PatRooney** · 17/08/2018, 1:12 AM

Heard Stephen O Brien from Granagh has been training with Rathkeale.

**southern kid** · 18/08/2018, 9:48 AM

Any fixtures out yet?, bit of a joke really that it's last minute every yr..

**southern kid** · 18/08/2018, 9:49 AM

Any challenge games today?

**Hoofittafook** · 18/08/2018, 10:09 AM

Kb utd a played mix of Rathkeale a & b Thursday and came away with a 2-0 win, b team played shannonside last night won 4-0. 2 good results shannonside could struggle this year may be looking at second relegation in a row.

**southern kid** · 18/08/2018, 10:21 AM

Good result for in but surly not many A players in that ratkeale team. Had heard they were going well..

**Hoofittafook** · 18/08/2018, 4:08 PM

They had 2 playing in first half and had bones of 8/9 on for second half. Tbh it showed tempo of second half was much greater kb should have scored more but couldn't break their defence down very solid at back especially in second half.

**Cruyff** · 20/08/2018, 1:50 PM

6 days out from the start of the season and still no fixtures
