U20 pool 1 - fixtures, results, table

[HarpoJoyce]

First half Keith Ward goal and Bray's number nine stretchered off late in the second half. Give's St. Pat's a small glimmer of hope, but Bray should be too good for them.

The official site (http://www.loi.ie/index.php/news-center/876-pool-1-fixtures) have updated tables as at 20/9.

The UCD 1-0 Bray Wanderers result from 21/9 has been added in.

One result they might have wrong is St Patrick's Athletic 0-5 UCD. It was originally reported as 1-5, which agrees with the UCD website (http://www.ucdsoccer.com/u20league.php?a=316).

Both teams may re-fix the game and play again.
No they mayn't; it's a 3-0 walkover to UCD.

Playing Rovers tomorrow.

[Schumi]

No they mayn't; it's a 3-0 walkover to UCD.
A hit to our goal difference but I suppose it doesn't really matter.

A hit to our goal difference but I suppose it doesn't really matter.

So I am Officially off pineapple stu's Ignore List again. That's about four times on, four times off. Wish the foot.ie Moderator would make up his mind.

The delayed result after Sunday, when Kildare County did turn up, confirms UCD's first place finish in the group. Hopefully we'll get a home draw.
Bray or Pat's.

[Schumi]

Was the game played in the end then?

[pineapple stu]

Was talking to Maccer, who said it was a walkover.

[HarpoJoyce]

Shamrock rovers 1 (SRFC No. 6):2 UCD (Keith Ward, Michael Kelly)
SRFC score early from a lob, Keith Ward equalises from a move involving Stephen Doyle and Sean Houston. Micheal Kelly brilliant second half goal, ran from inside his own half, rode a couple of challenges, then slotted the ball past Owen Doherty the SRFC 'keeper.

Ah, UCD U20s, so good, they're walking the league even at only 2 2/3 points for a win.

[apo11o]

Has Danny Fallon started any games, I ve only seen his name on here once or twice as a sub I think, how is he playing.

[HarpoJoyce]

Well he's part of a winning team.
It's an attack minded side that uses it's wingers well, he replaced Robbie Creevy against Shamrocks as first team player Creevy was coming back from injury and had joined the Senior team again. I havn't seen make any glaring errors.


This is one game he may have started. There's a Dallon and Dalconer on the start list which should refer to Danny Fallon and Gavin Falconer
http://www.ucdsoccer.com/u20league.php?a=325
"...UCD - McGinley, Matthews, O'Connor, T Boyle (Doyle 60), Leahy, Ward, Mitch Kelly, Michael Kelly, Dallon (McCabe 75), Dalconer, Rusk (Russell 75). Subs not used - Barron, Grehan.
