player will be happy once winning if not its a tough job for biscuits and longy to keep them happy suppose they only really lacked a striker last yr and warren and varian could fix that for them

good to have another season getting started soon,hoping rockmount get challenged this year because last year was very boring they were in total control.think the 'hall will be alot better but what about the other top teams avondale,blarney etc
was in douglas yesterday met a few of the hall players seems that craig duggan gone to everton and still no new players signed as yet so a lot of work still to be done by new management
Add Brendan O Connell from Avondale to that list. How many keepers do they have now?
they have 3 keepers brendan philpott and donnacha .. dont think craig duggan would have got a game for the hall to be honest from what ive seen looks like a average player .. avondale will be lucky if there not relegated so far brendan locky knowlsey mark sullivan mikey o shea thomas hughes hartigan thats a lot of players gone and i was told earlier ken murphy signed for tramore
It's certainly not looking good for Avondale. This guy John O'Rourke doesn't seem to be attracting many players to the club and most importantly he's failing to hang on to the players that were already there.
The players i hear that are staying are spratty, hoggy, michael kiernan, mucky, hugh & beezer but that could all change. Will keep ye posted on any developments that i hear.
Looks like it, beaten 1-0 by Fermoy last night out in Ballincollig.

The gap is only gonna widing even more in the premier. Hall and Blarney wont trouble Rockmount it seems everyone else is going to be playing for 2nd.
We beat Midleton last night in there pre season tournament. 1 down at half time,we showed great character and didnt stop playing for the 90 mins scoring 3 goals in the 2nd half. Roll on the final sunday against Leeds.....

From what i hear the Hall haven't really added that much. Varian has signed and is due back from holidays soon and Dave Warren was training. They beat us 2 zip last weekend and looked good. You would feel a few new faces are needed up there to mount a challenge (pardon the pun).
Looking forward to a good season from our lads as well this year. Lots of new faces, some of whom played all the way up through the schoolboy sections with Corinthians and have come back. Best of luck to Paddy and his management team as well as the players. lets hope we are only a season away from being back where we belong, in the Premier division!!!
to be honest i heard duggan left the hall as he knew he would get a game and didnt the hall beat corinthians 3 nil...:-) well to be honest all the hall were short year was a solid goalkeeper and a striker they have signed daniel o leary back and varian so that should do nicely for em i know dave warren has signed for mayfield
Congratulations to Everton and everyone involved in their pitch re-development. Great to see clubs taking the time and making the effort to upgrade facilities.

Id say coritnihans will be the team to beat next year. They will be there or there abouts. Have tramore signed anyone new this year? They will struggle in the premier if they dont add a bit of quality to the team.
to be honest didnt have any quality to honest with just happens to help when ur playing on such a bad pitch that ur used to and im only jokin evertonian congrats witht the new set up looking forward to seen it
Tramore had a great season last year and I hope they do well this season, although the step up will be difficult without significant signings. I hear Ken Murphy may be back so he will be a good addition.
As for Corinthians signing "junior" and "second division" players i think your a little bit misguided there. Beezer has just signed from Crosshaven and is a player most senior league premier teams would love to have. Already having won the league title with Corinthians under Fergus McDaid, not really a "second division" plyer as you so elequently put it. Corinthians have also signed players who played with the Douglas Hall junior team team who have been pretty dominant over the last few years. I think any serious MSL supporter will agree with me that most of the players from that squad will have no problem playing senior. Richie Cronin, College Corinthian senior player of the year under Pat Maher, Kevin Madden winner of at least 2 MSL titles with CCAFC probably with an excess of 50 senior goals to his credit. Ricky O sullivan, consistantly one of the top junior players over the last 3 seasons...........need i go on! To say CCAFC will struggle is a bit strong.
By the way cheers Billynomates for an un biaised appraisal.
i seen the corinthians game against the hall , i know they lost 3 nil they looked well organized and much better than last year and they also had beezer and coakley ufront who with a bit of time could do well with ken murphy i think its a step backwards i know its his home club but he could of had his pick from anyone and got a game hall blarney rockmount
Marky Sull played with Passage tonight he'll be signed by the weekend. Good side drew 3-3 with us tonight. I think they will win the 2nd division at there ease. James o leary back playin aswell.
I'm happy to see a player playing for his home club, sick of players moving teams non stop with no loyalty its been crazy over the last few years. its true he could play for a better team hes pretty good but fair play to him
The amount of mercenary players out there currently is frightening. Players shaft there hometown clubs and head off to play for the likes of Rockmount/Corinthians/Douglas for a year and then expect to walk back into their home club when it suits. This has certainly come home to roost with Avondale at the moment.
What annoys me is that players have absolutley no regard for the people who line the pitch, find sponsors, get the gas for the showers etc etc they just swan off without considering the damage they leave behind.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.
