We beat them 4-0 last week. No smugness involved.

And they haven't been the same since they lost big scots guy at the back :D

[oscar]

never rated him:D

[Jock MIB]

never rated him:D

well someone did , i heard in the grapevine he was linked with Janesboro few years back... some talk about a scots guy who works at ballyneety .. but couldn't afford his diva like lifestyle :D

then thats fair enough i was just saying it was too easy for my perspective there was nothing more intended i dont know what you were thinking, they must have had a bad day at the office

Not at all mate. I just can't stand people who put other teams down. I mean everyone and his brother knows that your a lot stronger than Holycross. The gracious thing to do would have been to say they gave it their best and ye just had too much for them. Confidence I admire, but arrogance I despise.

When refereein the Boro v Cals Fai game , Got talking to Boro Guy and he said (when found out i used to work in Ballyneety driving Range he put two and two together and came up with 35.) that few years back that a scots guy from ballyneety was recommended to management to check out. I was standing there proud as punch Boro wanted to look at me then it click... There was another scots guy working beside me at Ballyneety at that time my good friend Grieg McSporran (class scots name) Midfielder.

Now i have read all these threads about how good a player is and is best in town... in my eyes this lad would have walked onto any team in Limerick. He was a class act , young (24) ,skillful , strong , very fast , Former Scottish Schoolboy Internationalist and could score goals for fun.... I left the Boro lad thinking it was me though i enjoyed the attention :D

[Pike B]

Whatever happened to Grieg McSporran ?

[Jock MIB]

Whatever happened to Grieg McSporran ?

He went back to Scotland Mid 2006, haven't heard from him for a while . might actually try to contact him soon... But i'm not joking he would have walked out to any team he was that good. :)

Not sure if anyone remembers playing against him , he did play with Holycross for year got injured half way through season

Tell him to come up to Pike B, we'll give him a shot..

Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy :D

Should be a good game on sunday between ourselves and carew, it'll be a test for us to see how we match up against a premier team. Both teams will be wanting to play good open passing football, so heres to a good match and hopefully we'll come out on the right side of the result....:ball: :D

Ha ha, just as well your not signed with them so!!!! (No wait!!! there a 1A side you'd be on the bench).........

[abbeyvale]

heres morton off again missing players same for the last 3years excuses face it yere bad:):D

Just giving my thoughts on what could happen, seeing as though we have 2 suspended and 3 injured for Sunday's game!!!!!!!!
Who do you play for again? remind us all!!!!!

[Towelie]

Champions Leeside won their preliminary round 7.1 against postal.
Hopefully the start of a long road back to the final!
Next up is a tough one away to carrigaline, in fact we have it very tough just to get out of cork.
Can somebody post the full cork draw if they have it please?

A Dillons Cross or Glenthorn Celtic v Ballyphehane Celtic
B Watergrasshill Utd or Coachford v Leeds"A" or Kanturk
C Dunbar Celtic or Castleview v Waterloo or Knockraha
D Ballincollig v Killumney United
E Village Utd v Innishvilla
F Donoughmore Ath v Wilton Utd "A"
G Douglas Hall (AUL) v Carrigaline Utd or Leeside
H Ballyvolane "A" v Albert Rovers or Leeds "B"
I Blarney Street Ath v Springfield "B"
J Knockavilla Celtic v Wilton United "B" or Casement Celtic "A"
K Buttevant v Grattan Utd
L Villa Utd v Casement Celtic "B" or Park Utd
M Blackstone Rovers v Greenwood "B"
N Pearse Celtic v Glenvale


3rd Round Draw
J v I
M v F
E v B
G v K
N v D
H v L
C v A

By my reckoning Towelie you'll have to beat Carrigaline away then Douglas Hall away (who did well in cups last year) and then probably host current Cork AUL champions Grattan just to get out of cork!!! Talk about a tough defense of the trophy. That said to beat Postal by 6 goals is impressive...

If the same Carew 11 that beat us 6-1 starts, I think they'll be too strong for ye. But it's not beyond Mungret to create a shock. I'd go with Mungret 1-2 Carew.

Cheers Innish it doesn't get much tougher than that!
Don't know much about carrigaline other than they have 3 on the munster junior panel so they must be good.
Douglas Hall beat us the last 2 years in the FAI.
And of course Grattan the league champions after that...

We wont be looking that far ahead just yet though.The carrigaline game will be treated like the final.Any less effort and we could be dumped out.

whats 'good open passing football'?

[abbeyvale]

Anyone ever heard of a chap by the name of Donal MKee?

Think he trained Balla for a few season's and is involved with Clare or Shannon football..

If so, whats he like and have any of the Balla lads anything to say about him??

Geraldines v Fairview Rgs, Rathuard, M Bourke
Mungret Reg v Carew Park, Mungret, J McNamara

All teams marked in bold to win. Cant see Geraldines beating Fairview but I am sure they will give them a good game. You would have to fancy Mungret to beat Carew. Balla v's Corbally should be a good game too but think Balla will really want to win this after losing 2 finals in a row and that will be the difference there. :ball:

[abbeyvale]

He's not managing us, but will be training us for the next few months or so.
Can only be a good thing I'd say, so all the lads are looking forward to it tbh.

[dines08]

Dines 0-6 Fairview...gifted them a few goals and dropped the heads...they were too good for us

[Balbec77]

Pike 2 wembly 1 good game..wembly could have easily been given a penalty towards the end but as he was through out game the ref made a bad decision. Good performance by the wembly lads and they should be happy with the way they played against the league champions

[the only 1]

carew 3 mungret 1 good game to watch enjoyed it mungret play good football

Pike played for the first 5minutes of the game and that was it. They'll be the first to say they were horrible this morning. Great to see Dermot Phelan back for Pike.

[halo16]

carew 3 mungret 1 good game to watch enjoyed it mungret play good football

this result shows that mungret aint quite up to premier standard yet in my book anyway.i think they would be better off concentrating on getting promoted than boasting about how they are good enough to match it with
and beat most premier teams.

it was a good win for carew away from home and been 1 nil down aswell
i thought carew deserved the win mungret are a good team they missed a pen when it one all they had a good spell for 20mins but overall carew played some lovely football and were the better team. best of luck to mungret for the rest of the season

[svillerovers]

Summerville B 2-0 Newport

Good tough game to be honest...We were 1-0 up at the break but it should have been a few more...Newport battled away but we scored then again with about 15 to go and wrapped up the game..Should have gotten a 3rd right at the end but the less said about that the better as it was a comical miss :)

Granville 1-1 Summerville A
Granville won on penos.....Good performance from our lads but yet again graville won on a shootout!

[oscar]

Boro OFF Weston Villa

ref called this game off,saying pitch wasn't playable,yet the B team played on same pitch this afternoon
