Yeah you make a good point but you named players that are in the team already (bar 1) and they have not made much progress this year,plus if your realistic about it how many youth players will continue on next year and at that make the cut!! Who's on the bench now that can push into the team and help them next year?
Brilliant to see Cahir Park and Old Bridge promoted from Divison 1. Cahir is a great venue and most Premier Teams will enjoy their surface next year. Welcome additions to the Premier....no doubt.
it is great..hopefully the bridge can sort out their ground because green lane is a joke.....id like to see rock going down because they are no good for the league.....

I think reaching another munster junior indicates progress... richie rya, james o leary and mabe michael ellard from youts will progress plus 2 players already lined up to add to the team not including paul tobin who is back next year....
In retrospect I may have been a bit harsh in my comments considering St.Michaels have reached a second successive MJC final and done everything possible to put pressure on CT for the league and are also in contention for a Tipp Cup......All done with only a regular 13 man panel and some of the youth's...I hold my hand up to the thirteen who have got ye there but surely your going to have some retirement's next year,have ye the players now to reproduce the form of a few years ago and challenge for an FAI?
fair play and fair point..... don't think there will be any retirements... maybe just another year older...the hunger seems to be back and with paul tobin 2-3of this years youths (who are challenging for league and in tipp cup final..) plus 2 players ready to come in i think the panel will be allot stronger and hunger will be very high..
I have seen alot of the top three's games this year and Bansha Celtic have been a surprise package...Rumour has it there may not be a team there next year and seen as Michaels have already got two of their players (1 youth) from last year is there a possibility of more joining the squad they seem to have some good young talent that could add to the panel..Egan, Grogan, Mcgrath..they have been spotted
Rock Rovers 0-1 Clonmel Town.
Rovers are relegated (thank God) and Town's 100% league record is intact. Rovers had 2 sent off which means that they had 6 players sent off aginst Clonmel Town in two league fixtures this year. Good riddance.
Just want to echo the sentiments expressed- no loss to the premier division and frankly they would be no loss to the league entirely. 2 sent off and should have been more if the ref and linesmen were even partially competent. Eg. one of their forwards punches paul scully in the face five feet away from the ref and escapes unpunished. Two minutes later the same player left the pitch and spat in one of the town supporters faces. The linesman was standing 2 feet away and never even called the ref????? All this happened under the watchful eye of the referee's assessor. i wonder if this will lead to any retrospective action? On a more positive note 1 more victory will secure a third league title in a row. C'mon the TOWN.
Lads, is Noel Byrne still the main man with Peake Villa??? Was last in their new ground in 2000 and they were working hard on developing their new grounds then. Have they built/added any facilities in the meantime??
No Noel is now involved with the South Tipp Schoolboys and is doing a fine job. No major work done at Peake Villa.
Tipp Man - is he totally out of Peake Villa so?? Jeez, I thought he eat, slept and drank that club?? Was he the one that entered them into the U-21 EL for a year or so??
Knew him well when I was involved with the schools side of things and he was a terrific bloke to work with - couldn't do enough to help.
yes peake villa have built/added new dressings room since
tipp man must not have been at the villa grounds since 2000 either????
Yes Noel Byrne is TOTALLY out of Peake Villa for a number of years due to reasons that can't be discussed on this site. Villa were in the U-21 League for a year....Very poorly I may add and just weren't up to the speed, very ambitious decision back then to go U-21.
Noel Byrne has also involvement at the moment with Cashel Town Soccer Club with Willie MulCaire who was with him at Peake.
Noel is not involved with south tipp schoolboys anymore. as with cashel town there's no involvement there even though there is talks of it at present. willie mulcaire is one of the management group of the youth team. the other 3 are from cashel. on a different matter will st michaels and clonmel be putting out full strength teams or are they gonna wait til the munster junior final?
Thanks lads, sorry to hear Noel is out of PV - worked hard for that club when he was there.
well done to saints youths for beating cashel in the league. just hope cashel can regain form for munster final there up against it though tramore are meant to be serious outfit. very strong up front and cashels only week spot is center of defence so this could bethere downfall.
there,s is no doubt that noel worked hard while at peake villa and they probably would not have had the success they had without him.
however the legacy he left behind could only be compared to peter ridsdale
at leeds utd (and anyone that knows football knows the story there).
it,s a minor miracle that the present lot have survived the holocost
and are still battling in the premier with new dressing rooms to boot.
peake had good win today beating old bridge 4-1. finnan seems to have them geared towards winning the cup they have a chance if they can avoid saints in the semi. kilmanahan and cashel other semi finalists. kilmanahan are stronger of 2 teams id say cashel are poor surprised they beat borris. towns confidence will be hit after defeat today but they will be really fired up for mjc final now. saints seem to have hit form at right time. an earlier post said bansha would not have team next year i find that hard to believe after finishing 3rd this year. anyone else hear anything about this
