Old Git would you ever cop on . This doesn't sum up the tournament at all. Of the games I saw , there was some lovely football played and some great goals scored. None more so than the team goal Olympic got against Newmarket the other night.
You are always going to have tough tackling and verbals in a local tournament , it's par for the course and what adds an interesting edge to the games.
Yes, there were some bad tackles in the tornament , including the one in the final which caused the row. Yes a player was sent off for his reaction , he said he deserved that himself . Yes other players should have seen the line but they didn't. I for one enjoyed the final and was impressed with Shannon Hibs and the football they tried to play even if some of the tackles were a bit tasty. Reminded me of Newtown / Newmarket clashes of day's gone by.
All in all I thought it was a good tournament , fair play Shannon Town , remembering the whole point of this tournament is the important aspect to it.
Best of luck to all the teams in their respective leagues.
