Waterford & District League 2010/11

[Mission Bell]

by all accounts Carrick were not at their best last sunday v. Southend . no word on Tramore`s
win against St Saviours. This is possibly biggest game this season , if previous "battles" are anything to go on. I would think a tight game with one goal to decide it either way, keepers will be crucial. Could be busy day for refs, any thoughts from either camp.

Carrick were not great last Sunday, so lets hope it is a matter of getting a bad game out of the system. It is very important that the officials keep charge of proceedings and do not let things get out of hand. There is bound to be tension as you would expect in any top of the table clash.
The Hoops squad looks strong, especially with injured players returning and those who have been absent coming back into consideration.
Crystal will be looking on with interest also as a draw or Tramore win would be ideal for them.
All in all it is a massive match at Tom Drohan Park which will have a major influence on where honours will rest at season's end.
I will sit on the fence and predict a score draw

[cufc champions]

where has mcsherry been last few seasons? class player when his head is in the game. How are the lads carrick signed from rock rovers getting on with ye. will any of them make yer first 11

Adam went for open trials over in england and nearly signed with brentford i think injuries held him back, he is back now and registered wheter he plays on sunday i dont know, as for the rock boys jj and paul coady have started a good few games where as spud has being injured the last while when glen keane gets back fit carrick look like they have an impressive squad.

[Mission Bell]

Important league win for Carrick today in Tom Drohan Park v Tramore. Very impressive first half and Keith Walsh's excellent goal should have been added to on a few occasions. Tramore came a little more into it in the second half but despite injuries to the Fitzgeralds, Carrick were comfortable and should drive on from here and are now five points clear.
Fizzy's injury looked bad and he could a long term injury.

[green&white]

Carrick v Tramore was a great ad for junior soccer . The pace , tension and big crowd made for great sunday morning entertainment . Carrick prob deserved win for 1st half display , and though Tramore improved in 2nd half , walsh had little to do in Carricks goal. Carricks back 4 held firm with O`donnell outstanding. must say the 3 officials done well to keep 22 on the field as tensions ran high at times. well done to all and great value at 3euro

[cufc champions]

I thought carrick didnt actually play that well and felt tramore were good for a point, the back 4 were excellent and carrick need wayne fitz fit he is very good at driving a team forward, carrick play st josephs sunday in munster junior then piltown in fai junior the following week

[Bobby D]

To be honest Carrick still have not played to there potential so far this season and in saying that they are still unbeaten in all competitions and have only conceded 6 goals in 17 matches.Yes Wayne will be a big loss but that is what the panel of 19 players is for.
Massive win the weekend against Tramore, Carrick were the better team in the first half and Tramore took over in the second half without really troubling Adrian in the goal.We are now 5pts ahead of Tramore and 6pts ahead of the Glass at the half way stage.And whats very good to see is that the goal scorers are coming from all over the field instead of depending on 1 or 2 players.

[Bobby D]

Munster jnr cup results

Dungravan 3-3 Grannagh,Dungravn won 5-4 on penos
Southend 2-0 Dls
Piltown 4-1 Castle bridge

[razza]

Played for Saints against Carrick Yesterday. There is no doubt Carrick are a fantastic team. I think Josephs were very unlucky yesterday and should definitely have had a peno in 2nd half. Carrick missed Wayne and Thomas big time. They have a winning mentality however and must be respected for what they have done the past 5-6 years. Keith Walsh was very good as usual.

[doushe]

Any chance of an upset in the big local derby on fri night. Piltown vs Carrick in the fai.Or will carrick just blow them away?

there is always a chance, especially in derby games, alot of piltown players have experience of playing with carrick and will how to upset them so to speak, i fancy carrick to go through id say 3-1 but it wont be easy

Carrick, even though they've been winning games, have not being playing very well lately. In the games v Southend and St.Josephs, both 1A teams, they have just got over the line.
It promises to be an interesting encounter and in the cup all form goes out the window especially in a local derby.
Not to be missed!

[Timberlegs]

Carrick have an excellent squad and have excellent facilities in Tom Drohan Park which get better every year. I fancy them to beat a stubborn Piltown outfit on Friday night - shud be decent game of ball been a local derby.

[Timberlegs]

Due to Carrick Crystal and Tramore been involved in Fai games this weekend -only action is towards the middle and foot of the Premier league table in Waterford with the following games taking place Sun at 11am.

Johnville v Bohs
Dungarvan United v Villa
Hibs v St. Saviours

[cufc champions]

it will be interesting to see how Alan and Gerry Walsh, Kevin Keegan , Tony Reade, David Kelly go this evening all have played football at some level with carrick also mark o driscol played 2 seasons before, Alan Walsh has to potential to be a very good winger/striker his pace is unreal its a pity he is playing with piltown i would like to see him competing for a place with us. Gerry Walsh is a very underated player and will provide a stern test in midfield for piltown also tony Reade was one of the better centre halves in waterford a few years back.

Tramore v Glass

two good sides that are not in the best of form i see this going all the way to pens with derek scrubber hearn being the difference between the two sides

[green&white]

three even looking Prem games on this weekend . Would think Johnville too good for Bohs . Also Hibs to edge it v Saviours and have to go for Villa in Dungarvan.
If Bohs dont get a few results soon they will be facing 1st div football next season. My feeling would be that not many would be too disappointed if it happened.

[Timberlegs]

Have a feeling Bohs could beat Johnville. Think the other two could be draws.

[Mission Bell]

Johnville , Hibs to win and a draw between Dungarvan and Villa.

FAI Cup Result Tonight:
Piltown 2 - 4 Carrick Utd AET

[doushe]

carrick 4 piltown 2 after extra time. carrick took the lead from a sconnie walsh header from a corner just before half time. Gerry walsh equalised for piltown after about 55mins. His brother keith walsh then put carrick back into the lead in 75 mins. Carrick then had alan coady sent off on 80 mins. Piltown equalised from a penalty in injury time.Alan walsh had his spot kick saved by adrian walsh but he managed to bundle the rebound into the net. It was still level at half time in extra time but carrick were dominating with there extra fitness despite being a man down.The pressure finally told at the start of the second period when sconnie walsh got a goal from a knock on at a corner which was very similar to his first goal. Adam Mcsharry then finished piltown when he burst in from the right wing and buried the ball in the net with a right footed shot. Feature of the game were brothers gerry and keith walsh probably being the best players for there respective sides.

[Timberlegs]

Any word on game tonight -will it go ahead(tramore v Crystal) and the league games 2moro due to weather. Just heard all schoolboy games including sfai cancelled today.

[Timberlegs]

Fai cup 5th rd draw- mixed views on the draw for our 2 remaining representatives in Fai junior cup -
Carrick away to Broadfrord United(limerick desmond league) and winners of Crystal/Tramore away to Cavan Town or Corduff fc (from blanchardstown Dublin who beat Ballymun 2-1 in round 3.)- Gud luck to both Waterford sides !

[balls]

id expect carrick to get result of broadford, if corduff knocked out ballymun they must be fairly handy but you gotta beat the best if you wanna progress in this competition so crystal/tramore just have to lift it for this one

[Bobby D]

Broadford United v Carrick 2.00

[irisheagle]

Carrick were about 10 minutes from Cork City today when they were told the Leeds pitch was unplayable (Munster Senior Cup) . Given the road conditions this is poor form indeed. I know the Carrick lads stopped several times on route awaiting news as to the status of the game. They were told at 1pm (kick off 2pm) that the game was off, shabby indeed. Why was this game not called off on Friday like all other games in Cork, and why o why did Leeds not get their pitch inspected before Carrick traveled. Will Leeds have to travel to Carrick now

[Timberlegs]

I have no problem for any club waiting until the morning of a game to get their pitch inspected, but there is no excuse not to give ample notice to the travelling team before they set off on an unecessary journey.They should be forced to foot the bill for Carricks travelling expenses if this was the case.

[Mission Bell]

Carrick United were not treated very well Leeds at the weekend and some sort of recompense should be forthcoming given the way matters were handled by the Cork club.
Focus changes now to next Sunday and another away trip, this time to Broadford. It promises to be good cup tie. Is there many travelling?

[buddygeary23]

The broadford united lads and club are a nice bunch of lads and I'm sure they would let carrick know the day before if the the field was not playable due to frost.. They have a great set up with a great field and dressing rooms.. One of the best in the league

yes we have injuries and suspensions, but we have to deal with them as they come, the lads did not play well yesterday but we are still thru to the next round which is the most important fact of all, plenty of clubs ala killester and fairveiw would love to be in the next round without playing well.

Bobby D was saying ye had injuries and suspensions against Rathkeale and that ye had 7 of yere players back for the Broadford match, So which is it, let there be no mistake about it, Broadford are a bad team and ye were very lucky to come away with a win, the Broadford striker had a great chance to in stoppage time of normal time to put ye away

[Draper]

I'd say LEON was up in Connie Foleys for a few swift ones before the match...
