It wouldnt surprise me if clubs started making decisions that people from their clubs stop posting on this site.
The likes of Littleman might not even come back whilst still managing Grattan, well not as Littleman anyway.

[sharpshooter]

we won it takethat beating greenwood,killumney,wilton on pens.and beating rockmount 2-0 in the final..it was a great day for the cause and some great football being played..

[Onefootednopace]

Maybe clubs might request a ban on posting here, but it's up to the individual on how much detail is disclosed about their particular club. This thread is very informative and any query posted here is usually responded to accurately. That's why I signed up. Despite the club rivalry, everyone seems to get on compared to other junior threads on here.

[bieber]

met a wilton player today and he told me shane o neill was stop scorer with martin cronin of ballyvolane with 4 goals each.good going for 20 minutes a side.,in the macroom tournament.

[bieber]

Alright Bieber!!
Still here checking in on site most days but not much to talk about before the season starts really.

are you the ballyvolane b team manager radiostar ,because in a an earlier post ,someone posted one of their managers went to carraigtwohill,any truth or just rumors.

[sharpshooter]

shane was top scorer with 3 by himself he won it last year also...

[shetland]

shane was top scorer with 3 by himself he won it last year also...
and your the macroom man holden.firstly martin conin got 4 goals in a pool game against crookstown yesterday, and eric dunlea got the golden boot for ballvolane last year.

[sharpshooter]

well unless ive lost a bit of my memory shane o neill was given the golden boot yesterday with 3 goals.

[overthehill]

Looks like no truth in the rumour that shane oneill was leaving wilton so holden, was Pulimeno in goal too?

[sharpshooter]

i never said anything about shane moving anywhere hill was talking to him for a bit yesterday and he said nothing...no he wasnt in goal at all..

[overthehill]

you picked me up wrong there 10. i never meant you had said it, it was a general rumour and you just confirmed he was playing yesterday so he is obviously staying.

[shetland]

well unless ive lost a bit of my memory shane o neill was given the golden boot yesterday with 3 goals.
well how does golden boot go to player with 3 goals and player with 4 loses out.shane was gone when that was anounced and the tournament organisers have amended their mistake.trophy on way to cronin.

[overthehill]

Well Shetland, Anything due to Ballyvolane will be followed up by you to the end by the looks of it. I know a club or two that could do with you on board.
Fair dues to your guy Cronin, saw him a couple of times last year- wicked pace.

[sharpshooter]

well it wasnt my mistake now was it?when i was playing..

[the owl]

Great event/tournament at the weekend Holden. Played in it last year losing out to Wilton in the final. Alot of credit due to Macroom and all for a great cause. Good to see the numbers increasing. Thought Ballyv might try and avenge last years defeat but well done Macroom.

[bluey]

Anyone intrested in a friendly anyday this weekend v leeisde c team would they pm me please. we would need to play away as work being done to our pitch, sound

[Radiostar]

Not anymore bieber, a good buddy Rugsy manages them now. And he made a great start with them too an 8 nil win at the weekend in his first game in charge.

[sharpshooter]

Said id finally log on and give an update on Park...New management for both teams this year.A 3 man team in place for the A's.Davey Connors has decided to take a break from it.3 players up from the B's and a few youths also.
Our B team have a new trainer in place and things going very good at the moment.Also have a few new faces at training which is great to see.

[Innishvilla]

I (and all at Innishvilla) would like to offer my condolences to the White family and all involved with Knockavilla on the tragic death of Keith White over the weekend. I knew Keith well having played with him for Innishvilla over the years and against him when he was with Knockavilla. For a man small in stature he packed a mighty punch on the field and he will be fondly remembered by all who have had the pleasure of his company.

Ar dheis de go raibh a anam...

[sharpshooter]

from myself and everyone at macroom a.f.c with like to offer our condolences to the white family and knockavilla will be sadly missed keith was a great player and nice man...new him well...

[Inswinger]

Condolences to Keith White's family, friends and everyone at Knockavilla from Coachford AFC. We came across Keith a few times over the last few seasons on the park and he always came up in conversation before and after games, which is a tribute in itself, a player of immense ability.

[Horse24]

Very sad about that Knockavilla player - my thoughts are with his family & friends.

[Horse24]

Hows pre-season going boys & girls?

Ours is going ok. Training attendances are going well, new guys settling in.

We were happy with our 3-3 draw with Blarney Street. A good game that either side could have won.

Less happy with our 2-2 draw with Dunbar. We didnt play as well, but Dunbar are a young, tough skillful side.

As Bertie put it - "Lots done, Lots to do!!"

[the owl]

Very sorry to hear about Keith White. Condolences to the Knockavilla Club and Keiths family.
Watched Carrigtwohill v Leeside last weekend which Carrig won 4-2. Great game considering both were missing a few players. It was Leesides first team. Looking forward to the new season. Hows everyones pre season going ??

[thebooboys]

Leesides first team played?? I was unaware of that Owl. How many did you count? I counted 3 or 4 with only two playing 90 mins and no keeper again. What more can be expected on the Sunday morning of a bank holiday weekend.......

[smellyfeet]

Hi All,

Any Middleton posters here, if so, Do you know if they are playing in Shannon this coming weekend?

Just that there is a pre-season tournament on in Shannon and a Cork team are in it and i think I heard Middleton being mentioned, just trying to clarify.

Thanks

[thebooboys]

Midleton are Munster Senior League team so try that forum but to my knowledge not many posters on that thread, and none from midleton i reckon

[overthehill]

owl, whats the big secret you are keeping. i was at a match tuesday ( Glenthorn hammered Blackpool) and a Ballyvolane lad told me you are part of the Carrigtoohill management team with Liam Riorden? If so whats all this about "i watched carrig v leeside".?
Strange Glenthorn side with Brendan Long of Glen celtic and Gary nolan from leeds playing. Also had steven deasy in goal who is playing with cobh ramblers and veteran brian barry ex leeds.
Noel Dorney was good in midfield but they are struggling for players. Blackpool were very poor.

I'm lead to believe both Gary Nolan and Brendan Long are no longer associated with those respective clubs so perhaps it isnt so strange of a Glenthorn side - although I thought Stephen Deasy had signed with Cobh Ramblers too! Though on saying that it is silly season with some players signing forms for several clubs :confused:

[sharpshooter]

played a preseason game today against ballincolligs senior team won 3-2 id say their were missing a few but still a good result for us....

played them thursday night out in the Regional park - We were 5-1up with 8 minutes to go - we won 5-3 in the end! If they werent missing a few they are in serious trouble - surely they were!!

[sharpshooter]

they had to have been.but to be fair we were missing 5 from our team is well due to holidays.our squad is alot bigger than last year after bringing two up from the 2nd team who beat richmond 3-1 at the weekend.and brought in another 3 players....things are looking up..

[kingcorner]

Things are very quiet, slipped off the front page and all. All is not the same without Littleman

Things arent as quiet as you think kingcorner - I'm hearing plenty of rumours - but have declined to post them on here as most of them turn out to be rubbish! I wouldnt blame Littleman for not coming on here anymore - the abuse he got in the past was uncalled for!!

[the owl]

Have to agree with ya there ola.

[Horse24]

Things have really picked up pace in the last 2 weeks. Different stories every day......

Some are rubbish as oli says - some to do with our own team which helps us to keep to ourselves & some to do with other people that you hope arent true....and maybe the odd one you hope is!!!

Here's a selection (no offence and take it all with a pinch of salt!!)

Last years top 3 teams in the Prem have lost between 3 and 6 players each!!!

6 or 7 of the Prem A sides are struggling (to clarify we dont believe any of these)

Teams moving pubs, pitches, managers!!!!

Im looking forward to it all. Fixture out this Saturday I suppose........only 3 more sleeps!!!

If I were him I wouldnt come on here anymore either to be honest!!

I dont know if im looking forward to the new season yet. Depends on how we shape up first!

[thebooboys]

Opening fixtures up. note how UCC A and UCC B got a bye in every round of the cups. I know college isnt back til sept but what about an "open draw"........... Fair enough deferring league fixtures but getting byes in the cups is wrong. They should not be allowed enter the cups if they cant fulfill the fixtures like everyone else.

[sharpshooter]

ballyvolane 1st game away tough place to go bring it on..

[Horse24]

Well spotted Boo.

I actually dont have a problem with it. My problem is with the old lack of communication. Could have been said at either of the two delgate meetings this summer. Just tell us, UCC wont be back and its fair to give them a chance.

Now you begin to ask yourself how "open" any of the draws were?

A few teams who handed out hammerings last year in AOH round 1 have got "byes" to round two. It may just be luck, but doesnt the UCC thing make everything suspicious?

While Im in the paranoid buzz, I believe I mentioned before in delegate meetings if there was anything could be done to avoid involving Park in midweek games - not fair on them to travel or teams to travel to them during rush hour - guess where our first game on a Tuesday is?????

Conspiracy theories are alive and well!!!

Park, I presume your club refunds us our toll fees!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Horse24]

Ballyvolane home pitch in Pfizer now?

[super_mario]

Littleman will be back id say he's just keeping quiet till the season actually starts, its Grattan for us next Sunday morning in the Fairfield, nice start to premier A football i suppose if you wanna compete up in these top 2 leagues we gotta be able to compete with the best and they are 1 of the top 2 or 3 around... We look forward to it
