City 0-0 cobh.. second scoreless draw in 2 days not good to see us drawing blanks with the first game just over a week away.. sounds like we were mostly on top but missed plenty of chances
AUL Oscar Traynor 2-0 Cabinteely.

Gufc-v-UCD has been called off.
Derry City vs Finn Harps is down for Saturday at 15:00.
Thought Friday night would have been a better time for it really.
Have you ever won the treble?
Blues play Longford tonight. Really looking forward to it, Friday football fever is back.
Blues 2-1 Longford.
Very good game. Very impressed with us, we've a very young talented side this year a lot seem to be underestimating us. We played some nice football in horrible weather. Longford didn't impress expected them to be better. I thought we deserved the win as we were unlucky to be behind at half time. We created a good few chances and looked very good in attack. Longford were unlucky not to equalize late on.
Jack Doherty was the stand player in the pitch.
David O Sullivan was a absolute disgrace BTW awful tackle on our captain Brian Nolan saw Nolan leave the field in very evident pain and he was unable to walk and had to be assisted into the dressing room. There's was no need to make the tackle as he was never getting the ball. Very lucky he wasn't sent off.
American Samuel Dorf whom arrived yesterday played a part in the game as well as Mark Walsh neither announced signed by the club as of yet.

Wasn't at the game so can't comment, but seen Paul Hunt, our keeper defend the 'tackle' on twitter, said something to the effect that Davy didn't mean it, and slid on the surface.
Waterford surprised me big time, very good on the counte attack, quick. Jack Doherty will be the star of the first division, performances like that and he's straight back to england in no time. Paul Hunt had an excellent game for us and Blues should have been ahead at half time only for 2 great saves from him. We were very poor and our fitness levels didn't look up to stretch at all, worrying ahead of the big one next week.
As for the sully tackle the only explanation I can give is that he slipped on the surface becuase he didn't actually go in with his feet he kind of flew in American football style, it didn't look like he slipped but it wouldn't make sense to make the sort of tackle he did and he's the last player you'd call dirty, can't remember the last yellow he got never mind a red. It was an awful challenge though and I hope the blues player recovers he looked in a bad bad way, the ambulance crew were extremely slow to respond with the stretcher, makes you wonder how they'd ever deal with a serious incident.
Harps beat Derry 1-0 today....sort of.
Game abandoned at half time due to the weather. Ruairi Keating penalty after 2 minutes was the difference.

Limerick FC CRUSHED cork city 8-7 on penalties in the MSC Semi after a 3-3 draw.
Great result for Limerick.was at the game,Cork had nearly a full team on display.Limerick showed great attitude with a team of young lads and experienced loi players.if they can play like that for the season who knows we might stave off relegation.the only problem is the squad is threadbare.injuries and suspensions will be difficult to deal with.
Presidents Cup:
Dundalk 2-1 Pats
Better team won, Dundalks quality in midfield too much for us.
Forrester put us 1-0 after a well worked move, Horgan equalised a minute later with a cracker and then Towell a minute later to win it.
Anybody know if red cards carry over from Munster Senior cup games to the league or stay in the same competition?
Fair assessment of the game but it is a pre season game and unlikely to be an indication of league games to come. The general concern of Dundalk fans is that McMillan isnt going to rack up the goal haul of Hoban. I tend t think that he will be top scorer with us and a lot of goals from midfield. It will be nice to get the season going in earnest!
Credit to both sets of players for putting on a good show at the President's Cup today. I thought Dundalk looked closer to being ready for the season.
Pats are not there yet, they are still looking a yard off the pace.
Hard to judge that game today as an indication for the league. We looked fitter and ready for the season. We will miss Hoban's ability to hold the ball up as a lot didn't stick with McMillan. Finn looks a class apart. He was instrumental in our two goals and really put himself about. He's a lot stronger than he looks aswell.
Pats looked like there was something missing. Brennan offered absolutely nothing and I wouldn't be too confident if he carries that form into the season but Its still only pre season so we'll see.
It was an entertaining enough game but I'll be glad when it starts for real next week.
