Get onto the N11 down towards Wicklow town and about twenty minutes down the road take the turn for Rathnew. Not too sure where the pitch in Rathnew is.

Believ me, don't bother!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: But if you're going. the pitch is calleds shamrock park. Come into the village, left on small roundabout. Then turn right at St ernans school, go straight up that road till you reach the top of the hill. The ground is on right.

first i have heard... unless rathnew is unplayable and the carlisle has a greater chance of the match going ahead... teams really need to start playing games

Thought that it was a good solid performance today and the new signings all looked fairly handy. It is great that we have such a young squad but i would still like one more quality striker. Great to see Paddy still with us and looking so sharp. Dunne looked handy up front and Massey was very solid at full back. It seems that Eddie may have called the bluff of some of the players that we let go and it might just pay off.
Who is Fernando?

Great start to the season, good performance by mulcahy, massey,dunne, i also thought byrne looked good in the air up front, forsyth looked strong up front also.. fernando is over from spain with other players looking for a club i beleive he played in a strong league in spain but he has not got a word of english,, looks very good..

Daire played very well today alongside Mulcahy as did all the other eleven debutants, Spanish guy Fernando was very impressive scored a nice goal as did Darren Forsyth.
How did Ray & Stephen do for ye today ?

i thought the pair of them looked solid.. ray has the look of a skipper about him... i assume they played together at bray...kennys was barking out orders from the back...

heard that the game against bray wont be played again which is a pity...

AFAIK Robert was signed as a striker, Franco has been released and Fernando trained with the First Team squad tonite.

Douglas is a striker or wide player, signed for us from Crumlin United in July last year, tidy enough but can appear quite lazy or uninterested. Quite a similar player to Alan Lynch actually.

where did you hear that franco was released, i was taking to him at shels match, he did'nt seem in great form (not warming up with the rest of team in second half) etc he just did'nt seem to be part of the team but nothing was said.. could'nt see him getting his game anyway with the way eddie is with him..

At least we kept a clean sheet, i would have taught that with zayed up front it would have been a good challange for our defense..
The Fox
28/02/2009, 9:06 PM
It was competitive enough all right and the defence did well considering that they had Zayed, O'Niell, Kirby and Doyle to contend with - to be honest though they hardly made a chance against us.

I thought that Doyle and Mulchay were doing similar jobs in midfield - I guess Robson is injured, hopefully he will be fit soon to give some different options in midfield.

I agree - goals will probably be hard to come by - i was disappointed that Fernando was no where to be seen - i thought he had done enough in the other games to impress. Mulroy and one of the two tall guys would probably be my current first choice. We didnt cause them enough trouble with the two big strikers.

Lastly the pitch was a bit disappointing - its normally impeccable but today it was only average - it didnt help the players - passing and dribbling was difficult.

It looked like some Rovers fans got their dates wrong :D

It was a scrappy game with the pitch not helping as it threw up sand every time the ball bounced.
I think Bray will stay up again this year, you have a decent keeper and defence.

The pitch did look very bad, he normally has it looking fantastic, our defense does look strong,ok we only had a few friendlies but it looks like its coming together well indeed.

The pitch was heavily sanded, just needs the sprinklers (or rain) on to sort it out I'd say...

finished bray 0-1 Garda

Bray played the under 20's team
kane,
RB?, Webster, CB?, Fletcher
Darren Dunne, Zambra, Shields, Coughlan
Masterson, Shane O'Neill

Subs included, tresson and eddie gormley, both came on at half time, and also MAURICE FARRELL... came on about 20mins b4 the end...

conditions were brutal, and bray should have won, missed numerous clear goal scoring chances.

decent crowd from local schools, prob about 900 at it, all good for charity, fair play :)

played in this game, very nice occasion, massive credit to bray wanderers for organising such an event, we obviously rode our luck at times, despite their age bray were always going to be technically better than us, weather spoiled the game second half anyway but it probably suited us better.

was also nice to hear some kids in the crowd shouting for the guards to be honest i thought we might get a bit of half hearted jeering but we didnt.

all in all bray wanderers come out of this very well and hopefully some of the kids that were at the game might want to keep going and bring their parents

best of luck for the season
