AGP 2nds 2 - 3 Terenure FC 3rds

With many games cancelled on Saturday due to waterlogged pitches we knew we were going to be in for a hard slog when we had to switch from, the unplayable, Bushy Park to AGP’s home pitch, in Griffeen Valley Park, and so it turned out. The pitch looked remarkably good when we arrived but within minutes of the kick of the midfield was a mud bath and we were struggling to adapt to the conditions.

Three Trout Rovers 0 - 1 Terenure FC 3rds

Ah Saturdays are so much nicer when we win a game, and, particularly so when it's a hard fought one nil. Added to that it's the first time I've captained the team to a win and it was a particularly satisfactory Saturday, I think even Christopher Maloney sounded decent on the X-Factor I was in such a good mood.

The game itself was a hard slog. Three Trout have been picking up ...

Terenure 3rds 0 – 1 VEC 3rds

This will go down as another frustrating day out as we failed to take our chances and were punished for it. As I’ve said a few times there seems to be three outstanding teams in this division and then there’s little between the others. VEC are currently best of the rest in 4th place and this is the second time we’ve been edged out by the odd goal against them when we should have been taking at least a ...

WFC 6 – 0 Terenure 3rds

Normal services for this season resumed on Saturday as we travelled out to Loughlinstown and were sent home with our tails between our legs. WFC along with Chapelizod and Kill Celtic are running away with the league and we’re really not competing on their level at the moment.

Once again there was some positives to take from the game, for the first 45 minutes we were competitive, in fact we started ...

Terenure FC 3rds 1-0 Kill Celtic 2nds

After 2 postponements this game finally went ahead and it was a nice result for us. OK we were probably favorites as they are two divisions below us but they were top half of their division while we've mostly been getting hammered. Conceding goals at an alarming rate all season it was nice to put in a well organised display where the opposition rarely threatened and had we been a bit more ...

Aston Village 5 - 0 Terenure FC 3rds

High flying division one side Aston Village was always likely to be a hurdle too steep to conquer in this challenge cup encounter in Malahide Castle. On the plus side it was a beautiful autumn day and the pitch was in perfect condition that allowed for both teams to play some nice passing football.

Village started the game brightly and we were ragged in the first few minutes ...

Grant City 4 – 2 Terenure 3rds

Where to start with this one? A personal horror show of a performance, a first half of missed opportunities and a manic five second half minutes with goals flying in at both ends. Depressed does not begin to describe my Saturday evening mood after contributing in some way to all of Grant’s goals while missing a couple of decent chances myself at the other end.

The game started well for ...

Fortunestown Celtic 0 – 7 Terenure 3rds

Ah that winning feeling, I had almost forgotten how much nicer Saturday evenings are after a victory, and seven goals and a clean sheet put a nice cherry on top. Hopefully this result is a sign of things to come as squads begin to settle down and we start to put a more consistent team out every week. The biggest problem remaining for us is a goalkeeper with Conor Fox standing in this week ...

VEC FC 3rds 3 – 2 Terenure 3rds

This season just refuses to improve at the moment and it looks like we could be in for a real relegation fight at this early stage. I should probably be thankful that I was away for the Chapelizod game. On paper we probably had a stronger side out to face them than in the league opener, but we were still ...

Terenure 3rds 2 – 5 WFC

Two games with identical results last week but they couldn’t have been much different in the way they went. Grant City came into Wednesday’s game on the back of a heavy defeat, just like ourselves, and we knew it could be a key game for us. We couldn’t have started much better, keeping the ball well and limiting ...
