Tarbert have been training hard and were in line for Co. League promotion but were pipped by Ardfert last weekend.

As for was it a surprise? Thats the beauty or unpredictability of the NK C'ship, but after week one, two big guns in Ballyduff and B'donoghue have already been cast aside.

[wideball]

Was the weather a factor? Seems a low scoring game. Did anyone stand out?

[horsebox77]

Weekend fixturrs;
Ballylongford v Castleisland
Listowel Emmets v St Senans
Duagh v Moyvane
Asdee v Finuge

For me, I'm struggling to find an alternative to Desmonds getting three in a row.

I fancy, Desmonds, Duagh at home and Finuge.

Emmetts and Senans is one of the ties of the round, a hesitent nod to Senans, but not by much.

Any idea of venues, dates, times for Emmets/Senans and Duagh/Moyvane.

That North Kerry website is a wasteland.

No worries, you're more than welcome - can you see any side troubling Desmonds? I think the more they progress the harder it will be to clip them.

Listowel 2-09 Senans 1-10… Senans missed a penalty with the last kick of the game, which would have turned the game in their favour,

Both teams missing key men, McVeigh and Darragh Lynch didn’t start but were second half introductions, Barry Mahoney didn’t feature for Senans which left Killian Trant ploughing a lone furrow in midfield I’ll let Vet do justice for the match report, in summary, Emmett’s just about deserved it but were very wasteful, they couldn’t shake off the Senans side where #30 Conor Kennelly handled a pile of ball.

Listowel may not get away with it against stronger opposition,

I'll admit to a little bias here but I thought the referee was very hard on Listowel from the off. The missed penalty was Senans' second of the half and both looked extremely soft. The visitors seemed to be able to procure frees a hell of a lot easier too and, as far as I recall, most of their scores came from placed balls. All subjective of course but had Senans stolen it with the last-gasp penalty, I honestly think it would have been a travesty.

Daragh Lynch had a fine game for Emmetts after coming on, as did Ger McCarthy throughout. Cillian Trant battled really hard for Senans and scored a superb point. Cracking day for it.

Ah now, I'm a neutrel, the first penalty the Senan's player was 'clothes lined' to me it was mimumim a black.. but no card was shown by Barrett. Neither penalty was overly contested verbally by Listowel players.. one Mark late on was dropped and should have been hopped, Barrett whistled prematurely in my opinion... ye were margionally the better side, big names off the bench carried ye over the line.

[veteran]

Listowel 2-9 St. Senans 1-10 HT 1-2 0-6

For a change, we were blessed with a beautiful day for a ball game. It would be hyperbolic to say that the standard of football matched the glorious sunshine but nevertheless the closeness of the scores ensured that few left before the final act and a momentous final act it threatened to be. A fine crowd turned out and good value was returned for the tenner expended. There wasn't a foul blow delivered and the the referee had an easy job and intruded only when needed. .

I suppose if I was asked to pick one word to describe the teams, I would apply flair to Listowel and doggedness to St. Senans. The flair of LIstowel was demonstrated in the person of corner forward Sean Keane and the doggedness of Senans was exhibited by the their team as a whole, especially the stubbornness of their backs in the first half. They had to be  stubborn and dogged because they lined out without their two star men, Sean T. Dillon and Barry O'Mahony. They will forever wonder might have been if those two boys were available.

Senans played with a stiff breeze in the first half but were quickly put on the back foot by a Listowel team led by Eddie Browne at the back and the industrious Bryan Sweeney at midfield. However, the Senans backs refused to fold and slowly the Halfway boys had sneaked into a three point lead. Then Sean Keane won possession in the left corner and delivered a shot which finished in the far corner of the net. I am not sure Sean was shooting for a goal but it was registered as such. Bottom line. Bravely Senans fought upfield for a lead point before the break.

That goal looked as if it might make Senans buckle in the second half playing against the wind. No , they emerged as defiant as ever but then calamity. A short kickout went askew. Ace poacher. Sean Keane, was lurking to finish home. He got 2-3 in all. Listowel lost influential midfielder, Bryan Sweeney, through injury. The country boys refused to surrender and with Cillian Trant much improved at midfield they continued to confound Listowel. When it looked as if victory was looming for the townies Senans won a penalty. No question about it. Paudie Quille planted it.  Listowel brought on Darragh Lynch who added drive and aggression to their forward line. As the end approached ,Listowel secured a two point lead and surely now the game was up for the those pesky country boys.  A goal or nothing for salvation. Time up ref but there  was time for one more play. Cilliant Trant went high and was laid low. Another penalty. Paudie Quille again. Convert and bye bye town slickers. Not to be. Tom Harte in goal guessed right this time. No more time. 

Close but not close enough. Listowel deserved it. Just about. If Sean T. and Barry were in the trenches? We will never know.  We do know Listowel need to smarten up for the next outing.

[horsebox77]

Fair and accurate assessment.

I would agree woth both the observations above, they were penalties and the mark incorrect but Barrett gave a lot of soft free to senans especially in the first half. The supporters were not disagreeing but happy to take the breaks.
Listowel have more to offer the Cship with a decent bench but not much to worry anyone, apart from the nice day the football was sub standard and the status quo of 13 behind the ball from both teams made for boring fare. Big passages of play where players walking with the ball passing over and back. A commen secene in matches now. Players work rate was not in question but the systems have broken the game. The closeness of the game didn't really make it worth the trip.

[southward]

Assuming it's not a misprint, Desmonds beat Bally by 7-20 to 0-9. That's a 32-point beating. Something terribly wrong with that. Anyone at it?

[horsebox77]

Heard in listowel from passerby that HT was 2-12 to 0-04 or along those lines, but couldn"t find a report anywhere.

Desmonds are a differant gravy at the moment.

I was not at the game so cannot comment on the incident. However I can comment on the rules. A clothesline tackle or a high tackle of any sort is not a black card offence. Black cards can only issued for 5 very specific offences

[horsebox77]

Yes agree, but … it was cynical, prevented a goal scoring opportunity and the forward went to ground…. It ticked more boxed than it didn’t… the fact the Listowel players and bench didn’t react in protest and breathed a sigh of relief when no card was banished copper fastened for me.. and those around me

[Corner Back]

Black card offences are:

1.Deliberate body collide
2.Deliberate pull to the ground
3. Deliberate trip
4.Verbal abuse of an opponent or team mate
5. Verbal abuse of a match official

[horsebox77]

Duagh 2-10 0-13 Moyvane.

A winning point attempt from a free in the dying minutes by Duagh fell short and was punched to the net.

Close game, draw would prob have been fairer result.

[veteran]

Duagh 2-10 Moyvane 0-13 HT 1-5 0-7

The first half and the opening part of the second half was played in a great spirit and produced a most enjoyable match and appropriately was played in glorious sunshine. Matters deteriorated then with a scuffle in the midfield area around midpoint of the second half. This coincided with a downpour. Cause and effect? Not sure. After that there was an element of nastiness.

Michael Fogarty opened the scoring for Moyvane but then a passing movement resulted in possession for impressive Duagh full forward, Ted Moloney, and he nonchalantly slotted a goal. He was the outstanding forward on the field in that half , notching 1-2. Less prominent in the second half but still managed a point. Donal Stack, Oisin Kennelly were tight backs for Moyvane and Eamon O'Flaherty was a powerhouse for them at midfield, faded a little in the second half. Up front, Shane Stack was a smart forty yqrds man and kicked two superb points but they would have been expecting more from Marin Stack. Doncha Maher was a resolute back for Duagh. Thomas Scanlon was more influential at midfield the more the game progressed.

The enjoyment level of the first half was high and one confidently looked forward to more of the same in the second half. As already stated, this did not fully materialise. I did not see what sparked that aforementioned scuffle and the referee did not make much of it. Sub, Darragh Mulvihill, got a black card for what appeared to be a foot trip. Whatever its merit, it did add another dimension of tension to the game. For once, Martin Stack broke loose and kicked a magnificent lead point for Moyvane, He kicked five frees. It looked as if that great effort might swing it for Moyvane. However, Joey Shanahan surged forward to kick one over to level affairs. That suggested maybe a draw beckoned but there was bound to be a lot of extra time due to the inordinate amount of stoppages as the game wound down. Moyvane started to become very sloppy at the back and gave away a soft free which looked as if it was going to be the winning point for Duagh. It was worse. It was the winning goal. The free dropped in and was punched to the net. Who the "puncher" was remains a mystery to me. There were shouts for square ball but the referee was not interested in those pleas for a Moyvane pardon. As they say around Duagh/Lyrecrompane, sayonara Moyvane. A little tomfoolery ensued with a Duagh player kicking the ball from the tee. The Moyvane goalie said, how dare you or words along those lines, and got a red card for his frustration.

It was a shame that the ending was on the fractious side after an entertaining first half. One just never knows what lies around the corner.

When is the draw for Quarter Finals taking place

[thechosenone]

Draw was done this evening

Listowel v Knock
Tarbert v Duagh
Desmonds v Finuge
Beale v Brosna

[horsebox77]

Knock are a bit of an unknown, they and Beale had the bye but we saw Beale get well turned against Kilgarvan in the Novice.

For me it’s, Listowel, Tarbert, Desmond’s and Brosna, but NK is unpredictable.

[Corner Back]

Listowel v Knock - listowel by 10+
Tarbert v Duagh - Tarbert by minimum
Desmonds v Finuge - Desmonds by 10+
Beale v Brosna - Beale to surprise Brosna
