UCFL Div. 3 29 May 2013 Terenure FC 3rds 1 – 3 Limekiln Wednesday evening drew down the final curtain on what turned out to be a long old season to forget for Terenure FC 3rds. The game proved to be a fitting finale; a good first half, composed, hard-working and effective, followed by a second half collapse and defeat. We actually started this game with more of our regular team than the meeting with the same opposition from the previous week and that seemed to help to ...
UCFL Div. 3 20 May 2013 Limekiln 5 – 2 Terenure FC 3rds Writing these reports is starting to become some sort of ritual torture at this stage. With an ever deepening injury crisis there was a danger we wouldn’t be able to field a team at all for this game, but a few of the lads from the seconds came out and did us a favour, despite their own huge relegation decider looming on Wednesday. Even with the number of changes to the team, including my own first start ...
UCFL Div. 3 18 May 2013 Terenure FC 3rds 2 - 4 AGP 2nds After the carnage of Wednesday it was hard to know what to expect on Saturday afternoon. It was agreed that there needed to be a wholesale change in attitude and performance for this game and from the early stages of play this was in evidence. In the first 45 minutes we were pressing high up the pitch, playing at a good tempo and keeping AGP on the back foot. There was a minor hiccup when we conceded a soft ...

UCFL Div. 3 15 May 2013 Walkinstown Athletic 7 - 0 Terenure FC 3rds So the nightmare continues... I was back on the sideline for this one but still ruled out of action due to injury. The game had just kicked off when I arrived and there was little of note happening in the early stages. Walkinstown maybe shading it but we were well in the game. The opening goal summed up a lot of our problems ...
UCFL Div. 3 27 April 2013, 01, 04, 11 May 2013 Terenure FC 3rds 2 - 5 Kill Celtic Terenure FC 3rds 2 - 1 Fortunestown Celtic Terenure FC 3rds 0 - 3 Three Trout Rovers Terenure FC 3rds 2 - 3 St Mary's Boys This season has taken a major turn for the worse in recent weeks, for me personally and the team as a whole. My cameo from the bench in the dead rubber shield game with Grant resulted in an ankle injury that's kept me out of the last four games ...

UCFL Div. 3 Shield 13, 20, 22 April 2013 Walkinstown Athletic 7 – 2 Terenure FC 3rds St Mary’s Boys 4 – 3 Terenure FC 3rds Terenure FC 3rds 1 – 1 Grant City We went into Monday evening’s game, away to Walkinstown, with high hopes of making it to the shield final but those hopes were left smashed as we dramatically fell apart in the second half of the game. In many ways this has been a strange season, in the early part there was no real regular squad, ...

UCFL Div 3. Shield Three Trout Rovers 3 - 5 Terenure FC 3rds I never like missing games and that especially goes for games we win, but I was delighted to hear the news from Greystones on Saturday. According to reports the referee was fairly reluctant to allow the game to go ahead due to the rapidly deteriorating conditions on the Wicklow coast but with the teams eager to go ahead the standing water was ignored. Terenure started well but as has so often ...
UCFL Div 3. 08 April 2013 St Mary’s Boys 1 – 1 Terenure FC 3rds Both teams were playing for the third time in six days on Monday night and had come into the game on the back of weekend wins. Mary’s Boys look to have completely turned their early season form around as they trashed Grant City 5 – 1 last Wednesday before beating a good VEC 3rds team 3 – 1 on Saturday to leap frog us in the table. That means we are now well embroiled in a relegation fight so this ...
UCFL Div. 3 03 April 2013 Kill Celtic 6 – 1 Terenure FC 3rds UCFL Div. 3 Shield 06 April 2013 Terenure FC 3rds 5 – 1 Fortunestown Celtic This week we matched up against teams from the two extremities of the league and produced results to match. Kill are one of the three outstanding teams in the league while Fortunestown are tailed off at the bottom and that gap couldn’t have been more obvious. We travelled to Kill on Wednesday evening with ...

Sidney Bedlow Cup 16 March 2013 St Mary’s Crumlin 2nds 2 – 1 Terenure FC 3rds It will come as no surprise that all games were off this weekend but I just realised I never wrote a report on last week’s game so here we go. This one probably should have been called off too, the game beforehand left the pitch an absolute mud bath and if it wasn’t for the amount of games called off recently I think both teams and the ref would have gladly abandoned it. Deciding to ...
