waterford harps game off plus athlone longford town

just got confirmation just now that our game was called off. Our game was called off at ten to six. Pitch was wet but not unplayable according to ash.. Only 2 of the officials turned up and Cronin was in the refs ear apparently as he wanted the game off as we were strugglin with players.Thats my take of it..

Chuffed about the Waterford 1, specially with Harps having played Fingal last week, and Ipswich in midweek, and more than anything else, 5 points ahead of Waterford is alot better than 2 points ahead with a game in hand.

heard just now that our refixture could take a few weeks as the clubs are in disagreement over a suitable date..

At least your fixture can be played midweek unlike ours which will most likely be played on August Bank holiday Monday.

Not a chance, Sam.
We're at UCD for the EA Sports Cup semi that Tuesday.
Was going to suggest it might have been the Shels game but I see since that you're at Tolka a few days before, they'd hardly play them so close together?

The Harps v Shels game has been refixed for Saturday, August 15th.

Possiily the Sunday then so, there is not a hope in hell of us travelling down mid-week so unless fixtures get moved about then things will get tricky.

Nope!
We're at Mervue on the 1st, which is a Saturday I think?
And there's no way that they'll move that to the Friday and make us play Friday-Sunday-Tuesday.

Am afraid it will be mid-week, Tuesday 28th July is what I'm hearing.

(you're right, Enruoblehs, I did hear that about the Shels game on Aug 15th before alright, hadn't the head on fully there)

Last Saturday’s crucial clash with Finn Harps at the RSC, which fell foul of the torrential downpours which fell on the city all day, has today been re-fixed by the FAI.

The game will now take place on Tuesday, July 28th, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Moving fixtures so you don't have to travel midweek?! Get a grip.

Although Harps have objected to this date, Michael Hayes in the FAI has insisted that the game go ahead on this date.
