Hmmmmm, the bookies obviously think we have a handy draw too :D

Rockmount 5/1 -v- Drumkeen United 300/1

Should be a fun trip to Cork at least.

[hula4]

Not a huge shock but definetly not expected, Tolka should have gone close this year.

bluebell wanted it more on the night to be fair. no arguments, we probably thought we had it won at 2 nil up but fair play to bluebell they fought back and fully deserved it.

boy did we suffer for it tonight at training!!!

Rockmount 5/1 -v- Drumkeen United 300/1

Should be a fun trip to Cork at least.

Lets hope that Drumkeen get a bit of discipline into their team this time they travel to Cork. Last time they played in Cork in Intermediate Cup (as far as I know) was against Ringmahon in Nov 2003. I was captain at the time and i think only about 3-4 players stayed in the hotel on the saturday nite. All the rest had been drinking on the way down on the bus and then out getting ****ed on the sat nite. One of em near got arrested in Limerick on way down and another had his head bandaged before the match cos he fell and bust his head on a lamp post. What a joke. Ended up getting beat 2-0 against a team which were there for the beating.

Big defender for them had a great long throw and our keeper who was from Cork had warned us about it. Our left back had to be told to change sides by the referee at the start of the match cos I won the toss and decided to switch sides. He was so ****ed that he didnt realise even when the Ringmahon left back was standing beside him. He ended up costing us the first goal after 5 mins when the big guy took a throw in and it ended up at the back post for a tap in by the forward he was to be marking.

2nd Round Leinster.

Terenure CY 0:1 Crumlin Utd.

Don't know anything about this game only Crumlin Utd. will be at home to Everton in the December.

Lissadel United V Fanad United
Rockmount v Drumkeen United

St. Mochtas V Kildrum


Lissadel v Fanad and Rockmount v Drumkeen are on this weekend afaik. Drumkeen will be really up against it v Rockmount. Conceded four goals yesterday at home to bottom club Killea FC and I'd fear for them travelling Rockmount.

Fanad would be fancied against Lissadel I reckon. They beat them last year, though from memory it was a tight enough game. And the following week, Kildrum would be favourites against Mochtas - or would that be a dangerous assumption to make?

[harpskid]

Rockmount 2-1 Drumkeen, full-time score from today.

Lisadell are struggling to score goals but still a good team. They knocked Belgrove out earlier in the competition.

Mochtas are in disarray at the moment. Christy McElliigott the manager (Ex Ballymun) resigned during the week and they have lost a few players too.

[Clifford]

Mount won 2-1 yesterday, Buttsy and possibly Pat Keane with the goals. Made hard work of it, but were streets ahead of the lads from Drumkeen. They gave it everything in fairness to them.

[razor]

Ballincolig 1-2 Glenmore Dundrum was the other score over the weekend.

[harpskid]

Lets hope that Drumkeen get a bit of discipline into their team this time they travel to Cork.

Sadly the story around the Donegal soccer scene this morning hasn't covered them in glory this time either. Dear or dear.

How was that then? No player had a drink before the game, all were in beds early night before and they gave a good account of themselves on the pitch.

What happened afterwards that night is nothing to do with the game.

Lisadell drew 2-2 with Fanad. Reply next Saturday.

It's the afterwards bit I'm on about, wasn't referring to the game at all. I've taken numerous phone calls about it last night and again today Sam. It hasn't protrayed the players or the club in a good light unfortunately.

What happened heard about a player being arrested :confused:

What happened heard about a player being arrested :confused:

As I mentioned on a earlier post, in 2003 one of our defenders almost got arrested in Limerick on the saturday night before the game. Load of the players had been drinking all the way down on the bus, and plenty of that was spirits. They stopped at Limerick for 20 mins and the defender started urinating behind the bus in the carpark. The bus drove off leaving him standing alone. A local reported it to the Gardai who arrived and got on the bus. The local had left by this stage and no one therefore could identify him.

It not only lets the club down, these escapades let football in Donegal down.

Cool, the conversation above by the Harps lads seemed to suggest there was something this weekend as well. No worries.

Did you enjoy the game? Tough encounter, your boys were incredibly game and played well despite an obvious gap. We never put the game to bed. Fair play to yee.

I'm not associated with the club anymore. That was the last year I played with them. Just from what others have posted here, they did put in a hard game but Rockmount just didnt put the game to bed. But then again, the maybe just didnt get to play their normal game. I can't really comment on it and I wasnt there.

Yes one player let himself down badly, the vast majority were a credit to the club and can hold their heads high.

To label the full team for one players actions is just not on.

The lads were saying that the Rockmount Keeper made 2 outstanding saves at 2-1 from Benny Bonner and Richie Moore to keep Rockmount in front.

Drumkeen have played some great football at times this season, they were the best footballing side in the division for most part but lost their way after a few defeats, a decent striker in the squad would make a massive difference.

Ryan Gildea and Darren Walker at centre back are both outstanding players on their day (Ryan is being touted for Harps over the past few weeks), Chris Kyle and Gary Patton are excellent footballers in midfield with Garys size the only thing holding him back from furthering himself in football and Ritchie Moore up front really is a handful but lately is sorely low on confidence therefore not playing up to his usual standards.

From what im told though, Rockmount are a class act and will be hard to stop, best of luck to them.

Some interesting betting

[harpskid]

Fanad United 1-1 Lisadell

Fanad won 4-3 on pens.

Great game today in Fanad, just about shaded by Fanad, but Lisadell looked a decent, well-organised team. Ciaran Bissett scored a rocket to put them one-up early on, but Seimi Friel equalised for Fanad. Game of few chances, but overall was an entertaining one.

[HarpoJoyce]

Bluebell Utd. 1:1 Postal Utd.

Bluebell had two players suspended and another on honeymoon.
Eventfull 1st half, Postal went ahead through O'Connor ( I think) and then twominutes later Bluebell 'keeper throw ball to Postal forward who is taken down by defender. Defender sent off.
Postal went defensive after that and Bluebell scored from the penalty spot through Peter Sherlock. Bluebell did alot of pressing in the second half and Postal had a couple of chances near the end.
Could have been alot worse for Bluebell.

Mayfield had great win against Bangor Celtic. They were one of the favourites from the competition. Crumlin look the best side from Dublin. They won the LSL last year and just beat Everton 5-1.

Good draw for Fanad United I think, especially down in Tri-A-Locha. Not sure what to make of Kildrum's draw, any of the Dublin lads shed any light on this one?

Rockmount should win there Razor, yeah?

[centre mid]

A long time since I've seen Postal but Bluebell would be tough enough, knocked out Tolka earlier who were expected to go close ths year, any away tie at this stage would have to be considered a tough one.

[HarpoJoyce]

...........

sounds like another fishy dublin draw for me!!
wouldnt be surprised if ringmahon/lakewood got drew against either winners of mary's game or winners of garryduffs game!!

Worse!!!!! Dark Horses from UCD.
You can help me now, can you tell me a little about Ringmahon Rangers and Lakewood. When is there replay? Where do they play? thanks.

I think Postal Utd. will still have a chance. But Bluebell Utd. played themselves out of a difficult situation last Sunday.

Leixlip Utd play St Marys again on Jan 4th.

I think the fixture will be fixed for the weekend fo 3/4 of January. Both are challenging for the Ist division MSL. Ringmahon are good young footballing side while Lakewood like to counter attack. Not much between them. the replay is on in Ringmahon park.

Thanks very much. That's a very useful service that Blarney Utd. provide.
Can I just confirm, is Ranger's Park on Ringmahon Road near the water, south of Blackrock?

As you supplied one for Cork clubs. Dalkey Utd have a similar list for their opponents in Dublin.

This game had everything goals, strong challenges, penalties, handbags and it was free in. A great advert for Senior League soccer and why games should be attended more often.

Leixlip could never quite edge ahead. Goals :An overhead kick for Leixlip and a 20 yard free into top corner from Marys stood out.

Standout players for Marys were 4, 10 and 9.

Leixlip 4,6,8, and 9.
