Talking to a fella today who was at yer match Cas said David Crowe had the game of his life made 4/5 point blank saves man of the match by all accounts ........you injured or wha Cas considering Crowe did nt start the last couple of weeks?
Yes Horse broke 2 toes in my foot on last Tuesday night vs Grattan


will you be fit cas? heard that crow was so good the other day he broke his hand...huge game for ye in the race for second.


Oh and casilles is it true Crowe is going to Leeside next year?? Surely not?

Good to see your back Mario after your months ban for trying to set up a second account.

Lads it is great to see Crowe is getting the recognition he deserves. He was outstanding on Sat as he has been since he joined weather its playing or encouraging from the line. He has played a good few games up front and done a good job there too. On him leaving I am suprised to hear as he has really bought into what we are about.
Been honest lads with the 2 of us injured and 3 suspended we will find it tough as most other 1 team clubs would do to have a team let alone squad. We are working off a panel of 16 but as I said above injuries , lads up the country at work and suspensions will have us on the bare bones vs Leeside on Tuesday but the 11 going out will still be strong.

Horse its tough goin when fella are not making an effort like that to turn up. if ye were still in the running you'd be sure they would make it!! very unfair on management[/QUOTE]

Thats part of it ghost. We didnt put pressure on the other guys who were missing because we had enough and enough good players. If these 4 told us they couldnt make it, there was another 4 who would have disrupted their plans to make it. I was an angry man on Sunday..........a bit coooler now but very disapointed. 2 of them especially owed us more I thought.

I heard Mr Cronin to Leeside too. They have a keeper though who played very well against us earlier in the season. Castleview keeper did well against us too, so dunno if thats a strong rumour.

Leeside 3 Blarney St Ath 1

Well it is what it is! We were down to the bare bones tonight but still sent out a strong 12. Started the better of the 2 teams with some lovely link up play between our midfield and fowards. took the lead with around 10 gone, ball played onto Gary Coughlan who took it on and finished it. leeside kinda woke up then and strated pressing us. !_1 was a long ball over the top, gettings ran on to it, Crowe saved but the rebound fell to there other CF who finished it. 2-1 came from a corner in the 43rd min, keith Shaw at the back post and must say took it very well . We were playing into the wind in the 2nd half and it seemed to suit us. Got alot of poccesion down our right and jp was linking well with shane and Larwence in the centre, looked the more likely to score but boom!! a long goal kick evaded ever1, graham keane got to it and finished into the far corner. game fizzled out then . maybe 1 or 2 half chances for both sides

No Game this weekend for us. Playing macroom next Tuesday below so hopefully some of the injuries will be cleared up and the lads be back from suspension.

For any of ye around on Friday night

Macroom 1 Coachford 4

Lovely evening for a game in Macroom, on a really nice pitch a credit to Macroom, great set up they have there. Our paths have nt crossed many times over the last few years and i had nt played on the pitch, but its a fine surface suitable for getting the ball down, which we did to great effect last night, played really good football. Missing the two Hogans, Alan Molloy, Peter Riordan and Gary Murphy last night. Just shows the strength of the panel that everyone who played last night was more than comfortable. The two players in question sharpshooter were 9. Danny Dunne and 11. Michael O Sullivan. Danny when in the mood he was in last night really is different class, think he might have had 4 assists. A mention too to our friend Jungle Jym who made a return to the first team and acquited himself very well, i would imagine he enjoyed getting one over on some of his old team.


Aidan Buckley, Michael with two and Steve "Chip" Murray with the goals, it could have been alot more though. Leeside this week end for us and with the league out of reach for us, we re looking to finish as high as possible to build for next season. Three great results for Kinsale on the trot, its in their own hands with Leeside looking for a few favours from other teams i would think.

Technically if leeside win their 4 remaining fixtures, home to coachford Sunday, park and wilton away, and kinsale at home then all we will need is kinsale to slip up in one other of their 8 games. We do need to win 4 from 4. Have a two legged semi final with kinsale to look forward to as well

No gimme's there Boo and with Wilton in the other semi final of the AOH they ll be going strong until the season ends. If i was to put my hard earned crust on a wager it ld be on Kinsale.
Not writing ye off though as ye have been very consistent over the past 2 seasons in the league.
Best of luck, after Sunday of course!!:p

I see they play in Monard, where would their "catchment" area typically be from? Looks like their league battle with Milstreet will go right down to the wire. But like ourselves - youth is the way forward with the cork schoolboys league & youth leagues going so well now you can get get young guys coming through that have a lot of experience already. Innishvilla's team from the Saxone Cup final last weekend had 8 of the 11 players under the age of 22 (maybe even 21). and the other three weren't exactly over the hill either...

that crescent team are decent alright. seen them play once or twice. there left full , two wingers and striker are very good technically. one area they struggle with is from direct long high balls aimed at there center halfs. millstreet have big phsyical striker with good eye for goal who could cause them problems. but there is no doubt who is better footballing side between crescent and millstreet its crescent all the way

Their catchment area would be across the Northside.They are a fairly well established AUL club with notable success back in the 80s and 90s.

First thing it was good to be at home after 6 away games on the trot!
On the game,a game we could have and should have won!But a point is good for us,we were looking over our shoulder a small bit!
On kilumney,was very disapointed with them to be honest,some of the things there manager were saying about us,was uncalled for!They came down for a walk in the park today,werent getting it from us!
Il say to the teams who have them left,dnt give in against them,i no its april and some teams have nothing to play for,but for some of the teams left in it!

Must say I was impressed with killumney against us especially there wingers, still think they'll win it but greenwood have a serious chance now already promoted I think so the can drive on for the league!!

Well six yard box maybe you know something we don't regarding Crow to castleview juniors, maybe your putting 2 and 2 together seen as derek Daniels is being linked with that job and him and Crow are good friends??

I heard again that he is going to leeside and I personally think it will be a great move for him to be honest, top top team. Big loss if he does casilles as on his day there's none better!!

Leeside 2 - 3 Coachford
Interesting game in little island this morning. Leeside went one up and then missed a penalty. Game was pretty even with very little being created when the ref made an absolute howler of a decision and gave Coachford a penalty and sent the Leeside keeper off.
Coachford then added a second with a great finish from their centre forward and Conor O'Neill scored another 5 minutes later. Leeside then scored from another penalty to make for an interesting last 5 minutes. Coachford disputed the penalty but it was a clear hand ball.
Wasnt really that impressed with Leeside, didnt create too much and seem to fall apart after the penalty went in. However they did look comfortable until the Coachford penalty. Coachford on the other hand once they equalized looked fantastic. Conor O'neill doing very well playing centre half.

I fancy Coachford to actually beat Kinsale Tuesday week. Leeside probably have to beat Wilton next and hope Kinsale slip up a few times.

Great result for Wilton today beating Park 4-0

I agree Pacman, I was no more than 10 yards away from the decision and to say that Aidan O Regan, who I consider to be one of the best refs in the league, got it wrong, was an understatement. At 1 - 0 it looked like we would see it out. The leagues now out of our hands and to be honest we need a miracle. For me Wilton are in the driving seat, I do think Kinsale will drop points but Wilton very strong. Other comments id love to make about our game today but dont think it wud achieve much, if you were there you'd understand what im talking about.....

I thought the Coachford centre forward was bang out of order when Coachford went 3-1 up with his reaction to the Leeside line. I was on that part of the pitch and for the life of me i couldnt undertsand why he would have been so aggitated towards the Leeside line. Maybe I missed something earlier in the game

After reading the last two posts I actually dont know who to quote or who to disagree with more. To someone neutral the last two comments may lead people to think Leeside were robbed of points today.
As a keeper I have seen a lot of stone wall penalties given and not given, Todays incident with Leeside leading 1 nil was the correct one.
Booboy, really and trully I dont know what angle you were approaching from but this time you are completely wrong. Your keeper ( which no offence to the man today but in my opinion if ye had a Top one ye would be in with a better shout of winning major honours ) came and completely caught the Coachford striker on the way around him. It had to be a spotter and red card.. The ref got this decision spot on..

Speaking about spotters and the refferee in question today,
I actually couldn't believe he gave the Leesides spotter in the last couple of mins. In my opinion It was definetly Ball to Hand.

But then again maybe Im being BIASED. :rolleyes:

I would reckon your definitely being biased Junglegym. The leeside keeper clearly got a strong hand to the ball and was seen by the direction and distance the ball went after he touched it. The Coachford player who kept running simply then collided with the keeper.

As for the Leeside penalty the ball struck the palm of the Coachford player. I was facing it directly and couldnt have had a better view. To be honest it seemed like the Coachford player could have taken an uncomfortable ball to stomach but tunrned his hands to stop it. He visibly rotated his hand so the palm was facing outwards.

I have absolutely nothing against Coachford and to be honest they were the reason I went to the game. I know Malcolm and I know their northside players and as i said once they drew level they were fantastic. The ref did get this one wrong though

Finally some discussion and debate about a football match

Just on a few things before the match report, people will obviously think im biased but i have always & always will be honest in my match reports even the ones we lose. I do nt come on here to slate anyone and have a huge amount of respect for Leeside as a football team and everything they have achieved, they have been great representatives for the AUL winning the MJC recently.

On our peno which no doubt changed the match, i too was very near the incident when it occured, in my opinion the Leeside keeper (might have been Kieran Murphy if im not mistaken) came out to challenge Ruan Lenihan on a one on one, Ruan nicked the ball past the keeper, he got a hand to it diverting the ball to the right no more than 2 yards and proceeded to obstruct Ruan's progress in the follow through from the save,bringing him down therefore denying him a clear goal scoring opportunity. This is why the peno was awarded and the red card was produced.

On Leeside's peno near the end, sorry Jungle Jym and Keith but it was a peno, no doubt the players well struck shot was hit within close proximity to keith's chest and there was no time to react, but his hands were above his waist and i think it was just a natural reaction to protect himself, do nt think it was an intentional handball but a peno none the less.

On the comments your not making Boo, there were two teams playing, i could also make a few, but again at this stage i do nt think they ll achieve much, if you wanted do discuss it privately i would be glad to. I do disagree with you about it being Wilton's league, i cant see Kinsale losing it for the simple reason they do nt concede enough goals and would nt rule yerselves out of it, 42 points will take beating. We ll be going all out to beat Kinsale tuesday week.

Leeside 2 Coachford 3
On a perfect morning on a great pitch for a game of ball, we took the spoils from a keenly contested game which our matches with Leeside always are. There's no doubt there's bite in them due to so many close encounters down through the years.
We started reasonably well, with our best chance in the 1st half coming from a great header by Rob O Keeffe (noted for his arial ability lol, probably the smallest player on the pitch) that was heading into the top corner producing a great save from Leeside's custodian. Leeside got a peno, again the right decision, Raggy gave good advantage and player was taken down on edge of box, Hackett stepped up great save by Peter Riordan, 2 in 2 weeks for the big man. He has a good record in saving peno's. Leeside's opener came directly from a corner from one of the Keane's.
Second half was tit for tat until the penalty incident, Michael O Sullivan defo making a difference for us when he went up top. Liam Eager expertly dispatched the peno, the Leeside stand in did get a hand on it but snuck into the corner.Our tails were up at this stage and started to play nice ball, Alan Molloy finished off superbly from the edge of the box into the far top corner. Conor "Luiz"O Neill with the 3rd after a great move and final pass from Rob O Keeffe, lobbing the advancing keeper with a header.Leeside never gave up in fairness and got their peno which Delea cooly converted, thought he was by far their best player on the day, great servant to them. Saw out the remaining few mins, one sent off from each near the end.

As i said last week we re looking to finish as high as possible and with Kinsale and Wilton fighting for the league and Knockavilla fighting for their lives, there are no easy games left. Huge win for Ballyvolane credit where its due as i had been one writing them off, a real dog fight now between themselves and knockavilla, Macroom need a result tomorrow night or they could find themselves in it too.

I missed the game so a short and sweet report.

We went 2 up really early and 3-1 at the break.

Went to 4-1 and Leeds pulled it back with a wonder strike from somewhere near halfway. Our keeper saved a pen in the 90th minute.

We are now the only team of the 10 who will 100% be in the division next year!!

An away win in Cobh is a great result for anyone, in any division.

Ah now hold your horses there while it certainly was an outstanding result to go to cobh and get the win against the most likely favourites for the cup, it still only qualified us for the 1/4 finals. Gives us a tough away trip to another 1st division side in Leeside B. But I will say that this squad of players will go into every match from now to the end of the season treating them like a cup final. They've already created history as far as Innishvilla is concerned, but the have the opportunity to really cap off the year.

Clubs No 1 priority even before the Saxone Cup final is to win the league. 4 games left 7 points to claim the title...

Right doing this nice n early coz need to get it off my chest. Wilton 2 - Leeside 1. Took the lead after 35 minutes header from 10 yards out bottom corner, absolutely bossed the first half, could have been one or two more. Wilton had one chance of note well saved by our B team keeper.

2nd half, nothing much for ten mins, then 2 goals conceded in quick succession between 60-70 mins. Then to make things worse got our full back sent off for second yellow. Right decision by the ref. However the refs performance for both teams was not good enough in the second half. He rode us for a good twenty minutes and did the same to wilton for the last ten or so. He really did try and be centre of attention, his comment before the game "i expected a crowd tonight, e15 a pop to watch me sure" summed it up ...........

Well done Wilton, good team and will take some beating.

Macroom 0 Blarney St Ath 1

Some job getting down there on time lads I can tell ya!!! Big tail back outside Lasarda caused at least a 20 min delay for us. Got togged and ready with little over 10 to kick off so we expected to be a bit slow of the mark. Macroom had the better of the first 25 with Mr Sharpshotter havin his 1 on 1 saved!! no real good chances in the 1st half maybe a few half but i taught we got back in to it with Gary Nolan looking to run at there defence at every chance. IMO i taught we deserved the win for our preformance in the 2nd half a nd the chances we created from it. Gary Coughlan was unlucky with his header straight at the keeper, Nolans volley would have been a Goal of the season contender, Lawerences shot off the cross bar and a shane o Sull voley that got blocked. We scored with 10 to go, Larry Betts got the ball in the midddle of the park drove forward at hit a thuder bolt, there keeper spilled it and Gary Nolan follwed in and headed it in. Macroom had a few half chances but nothing of frutition.

We were delighted with the 3pts and look forward to no more away this season!! 3 home games left starting with Knockavilla Sat , Grattan on Tues and god knows when Kinsale!!

Sharpshooter I believe ye will stay up , its in yere own hands still with Knockavilla and Ballyvolane to play so good luck for the rest of the season

The other pitch still seems to be there alright:

I still cant picture the Farranlea Road pitch. If Im turning up into Farranlea Road from Victoria Cross, the old pitches were about halfway up on the left, where is the one being used now?

I didnt hear the first three rumours. We have two of the three represented here so maybe they can answer.

I didnt hear the Shandon one either.

I heard that merger one - might make sense.

Leeds, Castleview & Passage are the only 3 in the AUL with MSL connections I think are they?

I think Castleview & Passage have old school loyalty to the AUL, but what that is worth is to be seen. These AUL juniors cant play Senior so it does work against the clubs to be fair.

Just on the 3 clubs going to MJL - it must be a stepping stone to MSL because their own league doesnt seem to care much about the MJL. Strange one for Buttevant who turned down Prem A before we were asked in 2009 because they felt they were not strong enough.

Any1 hear anything?Was there not an agreement put in place between AUL and MSL to stop moving over a 5 year period. That was about 3 years ago. Stand corrected.

This is the final year of that agreement as far as I am aware.

I'm an Innishvilla club member and follower (boots are currently hung up) so I can't speak for the club but personally I have not heard anything about this - so I suppose for all on here that's not much good as I can't confirm or deny the rumours. That said I think it was mentioned on here last year as well and there was nothing to it. Sometimes a rumour can start just because the clubs in question have good facilities...

On the others - for Shandon Celtic to move to Business League, what's their qualification criteria? does the squad all have to work in the same company?

I always found it strange that MSL teams had teams in AUL. There was a bit of fuss a while back with players playing both AUL and MSL and both leagues pretty much said it was up to the other to punish the offenders...
Ballincollig, Ballinhassig, Lakewood Athletic, Carrigaline would be on the list also...

The other question is with the whole financial issue that's after occuring - will there even be an AUL next year? I hope so as despite the faults, it has done good things for grass roots soccer in and around Cork city.

Mergers can be good things but they can somtimes be tricky to organise. Innishannon and Knockavilla were investigating the prospect of a single club to represent the parish at both underage and junior hence Innishvilla - but only one club committed to it and put in the effort with the underage side - the other decided to stay as they were. Hasn't seemed to harm either club Knockavilla are doing very well and I can only see constant improvement for Innishvilla especially with such a strong underage club.

First i heard of it, i could understand any progressive club that has a strong first team winning trophies with a big underage section wanting to move to the MJL. I personally do nt think that the aforementioned teams have been doing that in the top leagues of the AUL though. No offence Innis no doubt ye are on the way though! If Kinsale for example were to go up you could totally understand it, as Blarney before them who have set a good example of a successful juinor team making the transition successfully and the club benefiting from it at underage level.

Glad to see my advice a few weeks back in relation to Ballyvolane and Glenthorn being listened to, two teams in the one area who are both struggling in their respective leagues could become very powerful if allgemated.
