Waterford & District League 2010/11

[Mission Bell]

I suppose the Junior League has finish it main competition on time and with Sunday's games cancelled for the Johnny Giles Walk it had get the game played.

I heard recently that the Waterford Schoolboy league have blocked an application by Waterford United to enter schollboy teams from next season, they wanted to protect the schoolboy teams from losing their best players to Waterford United but doesn't this already happen with Villa and Bohs???

Yes, its very hard for schoolboys to resist the advances from the big schoolboy clubs.
But I suppose it is also the same all over the country.

That doesn't make it right we have seen it from our club over the years there has being plenty of players who went to the city, with very little benefits. The schoolboy commitee in Carrick have to take alot of plaudits for the effort they are putting in and hopefully we will start taking "A" League off Villa etc soon and also see more young fella's come through to play in the junior teams

Yes , Carrick are doing all the right things as regards schoolboys as can be seen from their progress in the A leagues. If players leave they soon realise the grass is'nt always greener on the other side, pardon the pun.

Tramore 2 -0 Carrick
Bohs 1 - 3 Waterford Crystal

[cufc champions]

Tramore 2 - 0 Carrick

Tramore thourghly desvered their victory on the night, they play a great brand of football, based on ex waterford united's Paul McCarthy and Stephen Grant in midfield, they pass the ball at pace and Grant makes superb runs beyound the centre forward which Carrick had no answer for, both goals were taken extremly well. Massive crowd turned out for this top of the table clash which left carrick licking their wounds they will have to regroup quickly with Ferrybank away next saturday and the following sunday Wembley in Ozier in MJC semi.

[green&white]

there seems to be a lot of negitive talk in regard to Carrick Utd. (ie too old , gone past it etc;) Probably not as good as previous years but still well there in Prem league , in semi,s in both Mun. senior and junior cups. Most clubs would love to have a season like it. losing players like Sconnie Walsh , Dyl Kavinagh, Mikey Coady ,Ian Cleary and Brian Barry would certainly have consequenses for any club . I think they have done exceptionally well
considering . Tramore played very well on Friday but they had to keep season alive and they are possibly on the brink of being a top club . But there is great spirit in Carrick and they will not give up crown too easy

It was Carrick's first league defeat in two years I think. They have also had to deal with changes in the squad this season .
But a team with their fantastic success record over the past ten years will always be judged on high standards. As Carrick Utd always base their squad on local players they like to promote from within and will not pack the team just for the sake of it.
Given the club philiosophy and as already stated any junior squad would find it hard to absorb the loss of the quality of the above mentioned players.

Lads its called jealousy- its always the same knock the best teams !! Carrick still will win league I reckon and have been best team in munster not just Waterford consistently for the past ten yrs.To lose the above named players and other key players through injuries wud decimate most teams. As a member of another Waterford club I admire Carrick as a club for what they have won- they have put Waterford Junior league soccer on the map.

Agree. For a club who have always picked from within their own schoolboys set up their record over the past ten years or more has been phenomenal, coming from a small town.
But when you're at the top for so long , winning all the major competitions, there will always be those who envy that success. Nothing new in that.

Bohs wont be easy either as Johnville seem to be performing some sort of a miracle in their attempts to avoid the drop. As a result teams immediately above them have a lot to play for.

[cufc champions]

Bohs 1 - Carrick 4 Keith Walsh, Adam McSharry Eoghan Burke and Michael Clarkson

Decent performance against a struggling team, bohs had 9 men behind the ball for long periods playing one up top on his own, Bohs struggled to get any possesion abeit unlucky not go 1 nil up after a wonder volley from Kennedy that hit the underside of the crossbar. Keith and Adam scored around the half hour mark to take the pressure off, Eoghan burke added the 3rd with 13 mins to go, late on 1b player Michael Clarkson on his 2nd apperance for the 1st team netted a well taken goal. Bohs got a consolation in injury time.
Carrick are now 1 point behind tramore and have a game in hand.

Yes, thought Bohs would pose more of a threat. Carrick were comfortable throughout and now look forward to St.Saviours on Sunday to regain the lead in the league.
Good to be involved in the business end of the season again, with the Munster Junior in Ozier on the following Sunday.
Interesting times , indeed.

[Mission Bell]

Anyone know how Piltown got on today in IA game v Southend?

[green&white]

Piltown drew nil - nil in southend . Granagh won today , so 1a league goes to play off . Fair play to Southend for playing with right attitude . Remember last season when Bohs and Ferrybank "played " out nil-nil draw to ensure both stayed in premier, sending Southend down. Well done Southend

[cufc champions]

Tramore Carrick & Crystal all win ths weekend, Tramore beat villa 2-0 Joey Phelan with both goals, Carrick beat Saviors 3-0 Adam MacSharry Eoghan Burke Anthony O'Donnell with the goals and Crystal beat Johnville 4-2 getting 3 penalties in the process, Johnville were said to be a little upset with the ref decisions in this game. Carrick play Dungarvan Wednesday week in the next league game.

Carrick Utd 2 Dungarvan 1
Hard earned win for Carrick Utd in Tom Drohan Park last evening. It was looking a bit like MJC final for a while - dominating without scoring - but a powerful finish from 'Nipper' settled the nerves.
Next Sunday, away to Johnville, is one to look forward to.
Do Tramore play Crystal next Sunday also?

[Bobby D]

No Tramore are at home to bohs and the glass are away to hibs, Dungravan play ferrybank which is a massive 6 pointer. Tramore and glass meet weds night were at home to the Villa and thats lge over for another year. Great to see the lge going down to the last few games..

[cufc champions]

Tough away fixture to Johnville Sunday morning with them needing to win to have any chance of staying up, sure to be a battle!

[green&white]

wonder will Johnville have grass cut for this sunday . I remember Tramore kicked up a storm when they played at johnville as grass was uncut and unplayable in Tramoes opinion . Hope Ref has balls to deem pitch unplayable if J`ville pull same stroke .

[cufc champions]

Johnville 0 Carrick 3 Macsharry 2 Keane, Bohs 2 Tramore 1, Saviors 5 Villa 0 Carrick need 1 point on Wednesday to win the league while Johnville are relegated.

[Mission Bell]

Johnville 0 Carrick 3 Macsharry 2 Keane, Bohs 2 Tramore 1, Saviors 5 Villa 0 Carrick need 1 point on Wednesday to win the league while Johnville are relegated.

Very good performance from Carrick today in Waterford. Two cracking goals from McSharry and one well finished by Glen Keane.
Even though there's only a point needed on Wednesday they will be going all out to win.

[orchardfester]

Good result from Carrick, good performance after the dissappointment of the Munster final. McSharry finishing strongly. Good to see skinny back on the score sheet again!

[cufc champions]

Mcsharry should be playing at a higher level but hopefully no one comes in for him. on another note best of luck to Alan Coady with his emigration to austrailia, a big loss to the squad and club, since he signed from Clonmel Town he has given his all to the carrick cause.

[Mission Bell]

All systems go for tonight in what promises to be a tough encounter.
Carrick should be well prepared and have shown great resilience in the league following the away defeat to Tramore in the league, their first in almost two years.

[cufc champions]

Carrick 3 Villa 0 Alan Ryan Pen Adam McSharry Eoghan Burke

Comprehensze victory in the end even doh Villa had pen saved by Adrain Walsh and Carrick had Wayne Fitzgerald sent off for dissent at 1 nil. Adam McSharry scored a wonder goal from a 40 yard free kick and he is appartently leaving for Waterford United after the Cork City game sunday he will be a huge loss to the club and we wish him the best in his future endevaours. A poor enough game that was flat for long periods but in truth Carrick never looked worried by a Villa team that tried hard.

CONGRATULATIONS to Squad and Management and securing Carrick's 9th ever Waterdford and District Premier League Title, ye are a credit to the Club and Town.

[Mission Bell]

A fantastic achievement for Carrick United, again. Well done to Brian Barry and all the backroom team and just reward for their efforts. Thanks to the players for the thrills and spills of another entertaining season in which their approach was to always to play neat and attractive football.
Best of luck in the Munster Senior Cup semi-final against Cork City on Sunday in Bishopstown.

[Bobby D]

Carrick 1 cork city 0, munster snr cup semi. What a result.

[balls]

[Mission Bell]

Carrick Utd had another great result in away to Cork City today in the Munster Senior Cup semi-final. Again, well done to everyone involved, management and players alike.

[orchardfester]

great result for Carrick, Bring on Limerick in the Final

[balls]

a buddy from cork told me mfa have put up 10k for winners of munster senior cup this year thats some windfall if carrick manage to win. that may not be true im not 100% but would love to see a junior team get that kind of money.

[irisheagle]

The MFA have not got 10 euro never mind 10k !!!!! ... do you think Cork City would have lost today if 10 k was on offer !!!. Some result for Carrick tho, Corks first defeat of the season.

[balls]

i was thinking it was a spoof alright, he said to me before game city were going all out to win munster senior cup this year as there was 10 grand for the winner. id say its bull**** alright

[cufc champions]

Cork City have crashed out of the Munster Senior Cup after a semi-final defeat at the hands of Carrick United.
Carrick’s Glen Keane scored the only goal of the game in the first half. Even with the majority of the starting eleven made up of first teamers, Tommy Dunne’s men couldn’t break down the United rear-guard.
Dunne handed starts to Rory Morrissey, Kieran Kenneally and Simon Holland while the rest of the line-up featured many familiar faces.
The first half lacked any real goalmouth action, City dominated possession against the junior opposition as expected, but didn’t have any clear sight of goal. Keane’s goal however was a delightful effort, he struck the ball from 30 yards out and it ball looped over James McCarthy and into the bottom corner.
City rarely threatened, other than a free kick from Gearóid Morrissey that went over, and a shot from inside the box by Danny Murphy that goalkeeper Adrian Walsh parried away for a corner.
The second half was all City, and again the Leesiders controlled the game. Morrissey was particularly influential in midfield, and even hit the post midway through the second half with a left footed curler from the edge of the box. Graham Cummins and Davin O’Neill were introduced in an effort to bring the game to extra-time, the latter creating City’s best chance to equaliser. O’Neill crossed from the left, and youngster Simon Holland couldn’t connect properly with his header and the ball drifted agonisingly wide.
Carrick deployed all the usual tactics to maintain their slender lead, and their travelling support erupted when referee Graham Kelly blew the final whistle, sending them into the final.
