The pitch was in great nick, there was little wind. Mysterious stuff indeed.

Can't wait to find out why Avondale just didn't bother showing up to a fixture they agreed to and were bound to. Anyone know why that would happen?

I'm presuming you mean myself Cliffy. Heres what I heard.
Aiden O'Regan inspected Avondale Park at 3pm the day before the game and "deemed" the pitch unplayable.
Avondale at this point were of the opinion that the game was off and were unaware of any rescheduling.
When JC did find out about this "reschedule" he felt it came too late to be able to contact all his players in order to fulfill the fixture.
Dale at home to Everton next Saturday in the league. Weather permitting.

Cheers Razor, just wondered how it went wrong. Simple explanation asked for and got. Thanks. Amazing how fast the message got out that the game was off, yet an hour later....

(PS - When you see him let JC know about the beauty that is group text, it sends a text to all his players mobiles in seconds. Amazing technology really...)

In fairness to the club pigeons, they've been doing a great job.

True, maybe with the bad weather and all, they got lost in the confusion!!
Poor Pigeons...

Carrigaline for Mount at home Sun morning.

Any other's playing this weekend? How did the View 0-0 draw with Tramore go BB? Close? Unjust?

Castleview away to Everton Sunday morning. 0-0 with Tramore...no game since Nov 23rd might have something to do with it. Tramore battled well, Castleview struggled to take their chances.

Agreed Billy, it's hard to maintain any sort of match sharpness with the way the season has been so stop start so far. Don't let anyone go on a June holiday I reckon!

Mount have been playing mid-week friendlies under lights to try and spark some kind of match practice. It's a real pain eh?

Everton away is never easy, good luck with it.

Midweek matches under lights, very interesting!!

Yep, Everton away will be a tough one.

Torches really, but don't tell anyone..

Match sharpness,

I heard there was another sort of sharpness on display when ye met Mayfield up on their astro pitch

Under lights,

all ye need now is to get the bar open again and its world domination.

Avondale had no game this weekend, then Mount went and drew last weekend, so now Carrigaline away is freed up next Sunday morning.
So the pigeons were sent out, hopefully the winds during the week didn't scupper their missions.
The fixtures secretary is all over the shop, severe mix ups all over the place.

Nice edit, I nearly never came back to it...

The Mayfield lads/lasses had even bigger handbags than these two. Nothing to get the ould knickers in a twist.

Mount will be off to the movies next for team bonding, I hear Rocky Balboa is on the way.

Naw, if Mount want to go and see some washed out heavyweights they can go and watch Avondale or Castleview shooting practice any day.

Avondale washed out? Only when it suits.

Dale away to Carrigaline called off this morning.

Castleview v Rockmount Sunday morning. View's pitch was in a bad way last week after the Tramore game, so I'd be surprised if this will go ahead. It's the worst I've ever seen this pitch. It would need a roll at least, weather permitting obviously.

Unless of course it's moved up to Rockmount and you can be sure Castleview will turn up. I don't think Castleview are afraid of a battle
