Munster Senior League - Junior Divisions

[littleman]

Red if I was a football romantic I could say that when I agreed to push our kick off time to 4:30 to allow ye to get yer youth game played in Cork then the football gods shone on us a little.,,,,,,,,,,but in reality doing a fellow Cork side a favour is what we should all do when given the chance.I watched yer game an was delighted when ye score at the death to beat Balla. Next week against Mayfield,haha we can wave across the pitch at one another.

Fermoy came well up for the game,they knew it was a 6 pointer. We were actually missing a few bodies if im honest and cancelled trasining Thursday because of the bad weather so it wasnt the best way to get rev'd up for a big game.In a nutshell the whole team just played well,the bench did a huge job of encouraging the players selected on the 11 an when subs were used they just fitted in like for like with who came off an it all worked seamlessly. Defenders defended well,midfielders tackled and created,wingers ran the lines an forwards were ruthless.The goalie got very cold but kept his concentration throughout. Personally I was delighted for the players,one an all.Its hard week after week playing well an ending up on the losing side.Theres no fair in football,it kicks ya when ur down an dose it agin when ur tying to get back up so ya have to fight it all the way to be successful.Saturday just provided me with the proof that we are doing the right things the right way an if we just ride it out an stay up next season should be a different story for us.

Apoligies for the repeat lads,technical glitch,,,,,:p

[corkey121]

looks like midleton are having a right good run just at the right time. points on the board are always better than games in hand...


This could be a two horse race come friday night, i think should ringmahon lose then there title bid goes up in smoke, watched the hall sunday won 5 nil against a very poor riverstown team, fancy them to go down. At home hall will fancy taking the points off there rivals for leaugue. Midleton have points in the bag but have tough games left coming to, hall, ringmahon twice, where i only see 2 or 3 teams taking points off the hall, decie looking like he wont miss a game at this stage;)which is massive.

[Clifford]

Fermoy juniors and seniors are picking off very small squads, Both have arrived in their Prem leagues at the same time and it has def been a struggle for both of our teams to step up. Throw in the usual work commitments, suspensions, lads retiring/moving on, injuries etc and it becomes a battle week in week out to get two strong sides out (invariably this season it seems we play at the same time each week) it caught up with the juniors last Sat. However we'll fight on and hope the tide turns along the way. Who knows what the appeal against the points (wrongly in our view) deducted may bring.

[Clifford]

Why were points deducted? Can't see league over turning their own decision to be fair

Complicated scenario r&w and I'm not at liberty to say a whole lot to be honest. We don't know for sure what the outcome will be, but we will have had a fair hearing now no matter what the outcome. Perhaps the points were knocked off the table hastily without any actual appeal/discussion or investigation into the case, we'll see in time.

To be honest Clifford,I remember the league relegating Midleton juniors after the season ended 3 seasons ago,3/4 weeks after season ended club got a letter to say ye wer relegated over a illegal player played for carrigaline v blarney and blarney were awarded the 3 points and they relegated Midleton because now blarney had 1 point more than Midleton,so wouldn't be relying in the league to the right thing.crazy decision from them,and there decision is always final.

[Clifford]

Thanks redandwhite and mighty almighty, I won't say any more on it as it's for the club to sort out, but it's now at least in discussion at the right level.

[Igot2words4ya]

This is 2 years running now Fermoy involved in illegal player issues being brought too the leagues attention!

[Clifford]

This is 2 years running now Fermoy involved in illegal player issues being brought too the leagues attention!

you are correct, there was a misunderstanding last season (as there was with about 3 other clubs) and we took our punishment as was deemed appropriate after a hearing. Thanks for the concern.

[ringmahon4ever]

Ringmahon Rangers senior team are currently looking for a manager for next season. All interested applicants please contact the chairman Dave O Donoghue on 0871957289.

[corkey121]

I see d hall have beaten ringmahon 1-0 tonight churning out results ringmahon fail in a big game again serious question marks over their character

Ringmahon were excellent tonight .hall just niped it ..what about ur own teams character everton if im right down 14 point ?

[Superkeeper]

That surely wraps up the league for the hall

[Superkeeper]

I agree r+w, just can't see the hall dropping points, I suppose midelton do have points on the board, only saving grace for them is if the hall get lots of midweek games

[1fortheTeam]

Looks an interesting league though top and bottom!good for the league...interesting to see if everton or Mahon can rattle off 5 or 6 wins as that's what they need now, everton seemed to have hit a wallthey were well over the mount the other night and a bad ref cost them all 3 points from what i see.

[1fortheTeam]

Your right i think r+w if ringmahon or everton cam rattle off a few wins might get them back in it they are playing each other next week so a win for either is vital and1fortheteam i heard bad refeeeing had an impact ob everton rockmount ge heard stonewall pen denied to everton late on an rockmount lucky to finisih with 11 standard of refs in most games is very poor this year bad bunch therethis one was a bad one i just went to watch a game this guy was poor he let a lot off in fav of the mount who i might add had 6 or 7 ex div 1 aul players in the team there was a blatent hand ball in box waved on as well.

[Igot2words4ya]

Great result for Everton today well deserved too..mayfield and Fermoy both drop points again at the bottom tho

[1fortheTeam]

Why the reference to ex crescent players? Does that matter?dosent say much for the div if there back bone is aul div 1 lad thats all im saying not in a bad way to crescent fab club it was and will be again im told .

[Superkeeper]

I reckon top 4-6 teams in this division would give aul premier teams a run for there money

[Igot2words4ya]

I reckon top 4-6 teams in this division would give aul premier teams a run for there money

They'd be competing for league every year!no problem..

[1fortheTeam]

I reckon top 4-6 teams in this division would give aul premier teams a run for there moneyblarney street beat leeside 3-1 today at start of season glen celtic under me beat leeside crosshaven everton .

[1fortheTeam]

Are ye for reall top 4 teams in mjl would give aul premier tes a run for their money?d hall everton tingmahon would be top 3 r 4 easy and they ate their clubs second teamsi wont even go there bud glen celtic b div 3a dismantled fermoy in fai cup stop would you.out of respect for everton im not geting into this thats a club i like and rate.

[1fortheTeam]

Theres always one r two teams in lower division of aul that are food for a season or 2 like thar glen team and kilreen but they wont last unlike the three teams i mentioned they seem to put out good teams year in year outrespects to those teams you mentioned and that glen and kilreen teams are very good sides lad.

[Blackandwhite]

respects to those teams you mentioned and that glen and kilreen teams are very good sides lad.
Will u stop. The glen A team would get destroyed by the top 4 in this league.

[Igot2words4ya]

blarney street beat leeside 3-1 today at start of season glen celtic under me beat leeside crosshaven everton .
So Douglas hall first team,ringmahons first team and evertons first team wouldn't compete in Premier A because your glen Celtic team beat a few 1st Divison teams in friendlys??
Sound!

[1fortheTeam]

Sound!not what i said at all bud or ment with out going into it with you im saying all top 4 of prem aul would compete you talk up the msl junior side to somthing its not the teams you mention are fine teams and the fermoy game was in fai cup .

I've played in msl junior premier and aul. And the msl junior is a way better standard of football. Most top players in aul would jump ship to msl junior if a top team came a knocking.

[1fortheTeam]

I've played in msl junior premier and aul. And the msl junior is a way better standard of football. Most top players in aul would jump ship to msl junior if a top team came a knocking.your opinion and i respect it and my opinion is mine i would say better facilities .we are on about mjl.

[Blackandwhite]

your opinion and i respect it and my opinion is mine i would say better facilities .we are on about mjl.

Sorry meant Munster junior and I'm not on about the facilities even tho that is another major plus for the league which has been covered on this before.
I'm sayin most of the top players would play in mjl if they were approached.

To be fair, Everton aren't as strong as they were in last couple off seasons. Douglas Hall aul beat Everton in the fai in earlier rounds. Them so called teams in limerick who think are senior wouldn't do anything in the MSL. To compete against Avondale, corthnians and others. Wouldn't have a chance

Wouldn't have a chanceavondale and cors they would give account of their self to but the rest they would have a pop off im talking pike and the likes of them.i seen clonmel town they were unreal and killumney should have beaten them to.

[pirlo]

Any score from Brooklodge game? Heard they beat Midleton?

[villaman10]

midleton won 3-2, were 2 up, brooklodge got it back to 2-2, but midleton got the winner with 5 to go

[Mighty almighty]

midleton won 3-2, were 2 up, brooklodge got it back to 2-2, but midleton got the winner with 5 to go

Yes your right with that villaman,heard the same,seems to be exciting at the top and bottom now looking at the table!

[Horse24]

To be fair lads, the offers have been there for years for AUL players to go MJL. In my opinion, most AUL players would see it as a sideways move at best. They may see it as stepping stone to senior too. Better clubs, but not better teams. Better football for the purist - but that's proper schoolboys teaching - again structure of club not team. A few of the top senior sides don't even know their juniors exist!! Football is evolving and all teams now realise you gotta keep the ball. The standard is improving, probably diluted across too many teams though!! Accept my offer below and see!!

[Horse24]

Blackstone Rovers FC (Prem A) are looking for a friendly for weekend 6/7 April. Contact Ivan 087-6540423.

[littleman]

Seems like from which ever league yer in ye seem to have rose tinted glasses on in respect of the other leagues.

Reputations are gained over years,not in a season or 2 of relative success. The only cups that mean anything are the Fai and Mjc and AOH so its league titles that count,not chat.

[greengrass]

Quite possibly the most ridiculous statement I've read in foot.ie.

Your ignorance (or maybe your showing your age)† of standard of football that's not mjl is beyond a joke.

Those so called teams dont think they are senior. there junior and proud of it.

these clubs would be challenging for title every year.

Weren't cors battling relegation for a stage last year?

The talk of hanging off Avondales coat tails has been had many times.
We all know there exceptional.

On the mjl.
I played in it for years.
Players in it think its the best thing since sliced bread.

Its when you leave you get a true reflection of it.

I for one would never play in it again.

I can see the attraction for players trying to get noticed by there senior team but don't make out that the league is a top one packed full of quality.

Its a second team league at end of day.
If players are good enough they will go to first team if given chance or move on

[littleman]

Its not a great post its an honest post,an its honesty is why we should appriciate it.Its based on the opinion of someone whos played an watched his club in competition against clubs from Cork. Thats a proper opinion based on what hes experienced and Iv the utmost respect for it but iv also the utmost respect for Greengrass has been just as honest an we should all respect that ,why be a contented junior when you could push it an be a senior.Those I rate highest are those who chose to be different. Theres not a bookie in the country who would give odds against Avondale,they will be beaten at some stage but it wont be a regular thing,at not least for the forseeable future.

[Igot2words4ya]

Bad news if true for Corinthians and Mayfield but I was told this morning by a fela Fermoy are getting their 9 points back.

[Superkeeper]

I heard the same

[Mighty almighty]

Hand of god in Douglas hall tonight,a disgracefull decision by referee!

[Superkeeper]

Result ??

[Superkeeper]

Nothing surprises me with the referee in question tonight, how that man still refs at this level defies all belief

[corkey121]

Ref was poor for both teams great result for d lads ...

[Clifford]

surely the league wont go back on their own decision?

If it was a wrong decision then they have to overturn it. Heard nothing concrete yet however.

[Igot2words4ya]

Strange how others on here heard it before the people of fermoy did;)

Very!

[Blackandwhite]

Ref was poor for both teams great result for d lads ...
The ref was poor alright. But the hall won 2-1. And deserved it. Ucc didn't even test the keeper in the second half. Their goal was a serious mistake by the keeper and his defender.
