They were closer to bottom than top last year
that's because the 2 top teams (janesboro and cals) finished miles ahead of everyone else. athlunkard finished 3rd, 8 or 9 points ahead of kilfinane who finished 4th or 5th can't remember exactly. everyone else finished close to each other

that's a bit harsh now in fairness. just because they're a tough physical side doesn't mean they don't play good football. they scored a lotta goals last season and didn't concede many. away form cost them in the end. they'll be up there challenging this season

Played out there already this season. They played good football to be honest. Took no chances at the back but played nicely in midfield and upfront

can't see the kilfinane game being on. the ref somehow allowed us to play them out there last season. at half ten and there was gail force winds, heavy rain and water all over the pitch. finished 0-0. their pitch got wrecked and they were givin out about the ref allowing the game to go ahead. should never have been played. our pitch in the lee estate will be fine for the pallas game

we're blessed with the pitch in fairness. the "A" games are never called off. the odd "B" game has been called off because of a match bein played in the morning but very rarely. ye have a decent pitch too. actually hospital's game could be called off. we went out there last season and the ref called it off. weather was fine but there was water on the pitch

kilfinnane should have been relegated for not fulfilling their final league fixture vs janesboro.them not showing up led to boro getting the 3 points and winning the league which was a bit harsh on cals who had worked so hard all season.both still got promoted but im sure cals would have liked to have their name on the league trophy aswell as the league cup.:ball::ball::ball:

what he meant i think was that stars pitch looked good and kilfinnanes was terrible.star and kennedy park have met in cups over the last couple of seasons and have always been very enjoyable games.hope the mjc game will be no different.:ball:

I think those hyde lads would agree that hyde are the underdogs with kennedy haven TAKEN 6 of hyde best players.Love to see hyde beat them just to sicken all the former hyde players now with the park.:p Cant see it happen do.Reserve ask the lads who have hyde got if they have any desent strikers will cause them problem there defence is poor.I THINK the hyde lads will know all bout kennedy players.;)

If im not mistaken arent those former hyde lads now with kp
all x summerville players aswell definately 5 of them

kilfinane were winning 2-1 with only seconds remaining. cals were robbed of the league title. i was even talkin to one of the boro players and he said they were lucky to win it. cals were the best team in the division i don't care what the league table said. but that's just my opinion!!!

Fair play to pallas. They're a good side. 2-1 to athlunkard at half time, thought we were gonna go on and win it with the 3rd goal but we gave away a silly penalty and then a soft 3rd. 4th came when they caught us on the break at the end. Flattering scoreline but they deserved the win. Wanted it more

And the KP manager L Whelan also payed with Hyde for a couple of seasons.

Kennedy Park 6 Hyde 0

G.Nash 3
R Flanagan
J Rooney
S Rooney

Could of easily been 12,Scored some very good goals with J Rooney and G Nash linking up brilliant for there first game together this season,nice to get the clean sheet too.
----------------------------------------------
Ouch....... all the goals were scored by former Hyde players!!!

Irishjon25

13/10/2008, 12:06 PM

Topper,

Hyde started with ten men. They soon had eleven but it didnt make a bit of difference. They then had a men sent off at three nil and another send off at six nil. They also had a player forced off through injury so they finished the game with eight or nine players.

In saying that the score was flattering to Hyde as on the day their keeper could have won MOTM.

Relegation is almost a certainty for Hyde this season.

anyone get the result from the hospital v balla game?
by the way i would like to congratulate the ref who refereed the athlunkard v pallas game, did an excellent job. so Jock MIB we can applaud and criticise refs if we like so you have to accept that. certain referees are consistently average while others are excellent, thats the way it is. there was talk of pallas being a dirty side after recent games but i can assure you they are a good footballing side and the game was played in great spirits which is a credit to the referee

Cant agree more about the ref thing.We should applaud a ref when he has a good game.But i havent seen a ref have a good game in a long time.Heard they want to strike over the ref been punched at last weekends game between star and southend.Now i no that no one deserves to be punched over a game of ball but this ref made some shocking choices during the game.In saying that he doesnt need that to happen.

Difficult to say how good KP will be as Hyde were terrible. Hyde are in serious trouble, they had a bare 11. Two of them hadn't played a match in years. They now have 2 players suspended as well.

Irishjon25

14/10/2008, 10:07 AM

Topper KP played very well but it is hard to say as Hyde were no match for them. It looks like J Rooney & the new signing G Nash could do some damage up front.

I also spotted a few of their better players on the sideline but wether they are injured or not i am not sure. G Higgins and D Nash were not playing and i'm sure they both would add a lot of pace and also offer a lot of width on the wings. Their starting full backs i dont think were playing either so its hard to judge the team performance.

From what i seen they did very well but with the addidtion of the few players who did not play on the day i reckon with a full strength team KP would be a match for anyone in the league.

I would just like to add that the young referee that was in charge of the KP Vs Hyde game at the weekend was very good also. He kept completely on top of things and it was a breath of fresh air to see a ref that actually knew how to play offside, and not give the benefit of the doubt to the defending side the whole time.
it's very difficult for referees to call offside in matches, feel sorry for them sometimes. fair play to the ref if he had a good game.
only one game in 2A on sunday, summerville vs aisling. i'm going for a home win, summerville got a great result out in kilfinane, reckon they'll win 3-1 at portland

anyone know why there's only one 2A fixture this weekend??? must say the standard in 2A has gone up a good bit compared to the last 2 or 3 seasons. last season janesboro and cals were the 2 best teams by a long shot and they are both doing well in 1B. this season you have 5 or 6 teams in with a chance of promotion

who do you reckon the 5 or 6 will be?at the moment i think the top 8 in the division will be i with a shout.but who knows with the weather and christmas breaks to come a lot of teams might find it hard to keep players interested,hence dropping points in matches they'd expect to win.:ball:
