Strangely enough i heard that rumour about Stokes doing the rounds too! I suppose with a manager of his experience there will always be rumours!

[Innishvilla]

As was always going to be a natural progression with the new pitches and a thriving underage section Innishvilla are planning on entering a 2nd team in the AUL this season - anyone who is interested in joining please keep an eye on the Innishvilla website www.innishvilla.com or here on foot.ie...

I believe Mr Stokes was to get involved with Grattan youths at one stage?

[sharpshooter]

back to business thursday night cant wait...to the ballyvolane lads on this are ye coming down again for the tournament at the end of the month?

Hi lads new to this, been reading a while said i ld throw my two pence worth into the ring. I think alot of people will be surprised at Mr. Stokes destination, i can confirm it is a premier club, not heading to the northside though!!

Hi lads been reading this a while, said i ld throw my two pence in for whats its worth. I ve been playing myself for over 10 years and have always had an interest in the aul and its teams since i started playing. :cute: I can confirm that Mr. Stokes will be taking the reins at a premier league club next season, it might surprise a few that he's not heading for the Northside!!;)

Welcome on board Inswinger - the more the merrier - care to elaborate on Mr Stokes destination?? I have a suspicion it might be Coachford to be honest! Does Coachford count as the Northside?? Not sure

Your suspicions are well founded olachico. Probably should nt come as a surprise as the job was advertised. Do nt know a huge amount the man myself, just that he seems to have strengthened St Marys foothold since they went up Premier in MSL a few seasons back. A progressive step i hope for my club, we put a big effort in last season with little reward through no fault of the management or the players we had ( we ve a small core to pick from), we could do with new bodies (and a few who may return) in the camp, hopefully he has a few players in mind.

[sharpshooter]

welcome inswinger,not been smart or anything olachico but how could coachford count as the northside???

[Southsider]

Heard Hogan from Blarney is joining ye,still a fine player.

[olachico]

welcome inswinger,not been smart or anything olachico but how could coachford count as the northside???

Its north of the River Lee Holden ;) I use that as the cut off point!!

[Inswinger]

Heard Hogan from Blarney is joining ye,still a fine player.

Not too sure if he is southsider and i know him quite well, being from Coachford and where he played all his football with Coachford before joining Blarney he would be welcomed back with open arms, he does have a brother currently on the team also. He would be an addition to any team.

[Horse24]

Holden, as a Norrie myself........I know its the centre of the universe so anyone should be honoured to be associated with it!!!!

I would have thought Micky Walsh would have gotten the Coachford job once he left Avondale.

Good manager & nice guy is Malcolm - I wish him well.

[the ghost]

I think stokes will do well out there to be honest but id say hed need to get a few player in which will be tough going!
Having said that he have a few lined up to say he took the job maybe?
Horse id say Mick Walsh would have the job before anyone if he wanted it. He had a good run when he was in charge and won a few trophys. After a big job at Avondale probably a time out is what hes taking.

[overthehill]

Malcolm Stokes to Coachford and Philpott- ex keeper with Rockmount-to Village utd.

[skinny11]

is that gary philpott

[MainManRam]

Hello lads,

Hope ye all had a good summer and enjoyed the world cup. Seems like we were never away. Springfield back training on Tuesday night. I don't have any further insight to whether we have managed to rob any players but i will let ye know after Tuesday. Looking forward to getting back into it.

[super_mario]

Ya that is Gary Philpott, his dad is involved with village so a good signing for them, very good keeper Gary is

[sharpshooter]

[vanpersie]

i heard that kinsale have a few new players including a centre forward from wilton.

[mr versatile]

Alright lads welcome back to all. Cant wait for the new season to start!!

[thebooboys]

Vanpersie, tried private messaging you but unable to, dont think your a member long enough or something. Leeside preseason starts tonight. I cant put mobile mumbers on the forum so To contact managment best bet is to refer to aul handbook at http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddtdjkcd_483dndsxxfw
(http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddtdjkcd_483dndsxxfw)

[Horse24]

Sounds like Wilton might be suffering - the AUL keeper gone to Mayfield Seniors is another rumour.

Wait until our friend from Limerick reads one or two of boos posts from the middle of the night................he might run back up the road!!!!

This is the most common week for teams to go back - so best of luck to everyone. Hope we all have an enjoyable season and that Blackstone win everything!!!

[JRyno]

heard a rumor that kinsale are under pressure for players this season over the weekend any truth in it??

Their 2nd team are struggling for players i think, defo not the 1st team!

[JRyno]

Quick review of sections:
All as expected really - 2 teams missing - Mayfield and WGH B - 7 new teams, Glen B, Bweeng, Newmarket, Kanturk B, Cork Road Celtic, Inis B, Buttevant B - so 99 teams.

[donaldihno]

Saw that there horse!Premier A looks fair tough!
Not much travelling for ye do!weve 9 trips up there!
I thought ballincollig were putting a team back in the 1st division,must not be!
We have b team this year,alot of the youth team coming through!good to have,keep the interest goin!

[sharpshooter]

prem a looks very tough alright...anyone no when the 1st league fixture will be out???

[olachico]

First matches should be played on the weekend of 21/22nd of august - so the first fixtures prob wont be out til the week before

[Onefootednopace]

Any news on the promotion/ relegation issues for next season? For example will it be 2 up and 2 down from A.U.L. 2A this season or will it be the same as last year- 1 team promoted only?

[fruice]

Any one know if thaeballincollig team in 3A is the one from the premier a section last year?

[olachico]

Ballincolligs senior side lost a lot of players last year so I'm led to believe - so players from their Premier A side had to go playing senior - which meant there 3rd division side had to go playing Premier A - this led them to pull out the team in the end . So i'm guessing this side has been re-entered into the 3rd division

[douglas local]

hi new to this but that is fairly spot on as I would have seen their seniors play alot last year

[fruice]

Hopefully otherwise it will make our division very one sided and unfair you would think. as for the rest of the sections very competitive an interest points all the teams bar two teams have at least a second team which allways ensure a good source of players feeding into the club to make them get stronger.

[shetland]

yeh hope that is the case.i see mayfield have no aul team this year.and its good to see sections changed around a bit.the two first divisions are very strong and will take some winning.

[shetland]

springfield will surely be favorites after going so close last year,next best leeside b.and douglas hall will rattle other section.anyone hear anything on glenthorn celtic rumors running wild as to wheather they will have a team.

[Innishvilla]

Any news on the promotion/ relegation issues for next season? For example will it be 2 up and 2 down from A.U.L. 2A this season or will it be the same as last year- 1 team promoted only?

I think this info is vital, 1 up 1 down from a division is terrible - unfair on all sides

[Horse24]

On the Mayfield thing, it looks like there is space for one more in the first division so I would guess its only an admin delay.

On the promotion/relegation thing, I would guess at one up for two more seasons from Div 2 to get Div 1 at 10 each. I could be worng but its my guess.

[bieber]
