is it true that Fairview have mostly u19 playing for their B team, id so they will struggle if they clash fixtures

They looked older than that against us. I'd say maybe only 2 or 3 were 19's. But thats a guess.

no...one or two maybe but they have a few players who are just out of minor grade

[francescoli]

Went out to watch shannon town v shan hibs and i must say the standard was awful,easy chances missed at both ends and terrible long balls flying all over the place.Is there any good players in shannon at all anymore????

Granville 3-1 Charleville
A great result and performance to match it tonight as we finally kick started our season. We dominated from around the 20th minute to the 80th, with the visitors taking the lead early on after a mix up in our defence, and pushing us very hard in the last ten after we'd made the game safe. We levelled before the break when a long kick out from our keeper found its way to Sean Buckley up front, and flicked the ball neatly around the centre half before dispatching a low finish past the keeper. We controlled possesion in the second half and Joe Horan added to his 2 goals in 2 games with a tidy effort after good build up play from Barry Lipper. Sean then made the game safe with another cool finish to leave us in control for the last quarter. But as I said Charleville had a right go at us and were persistant to the final whistle. Well done our lads tonight for a gritty response to two defeats.
Best for us: Neill Mc Gourty.

Ya good win for ye in the end last kick of the game goal when i think a draw would have been a fair result. Good game to watch very competitive.

[WizardOnTheWing]

Caherdavin arent having a good start, wont be long before Ray's cheques start bouncing...The dines are having a better start than last year, much improved..Looking like Dines and Pike B are the teams to beat.

[deadly man]

Mungret and Shannon are in the bottom 2,not many would of predicted that,they will need to start picking up points asap

These 2 were most fellas tips to go up,whoever finishes ahead of pike b will win the league,and one of the also rans can go up instead of pike,dines looking good,.

dines going very well at the moment ,great to see.
as i have said in previous posts,the midweek matches can make our break you.
teams that have had a bad start could turn it around when it goes to week end games only.
i think you might see the so called bigger sides coming into it a bit more then
anyway congrats to the dines,but next two fixtures are crucial with a trip to shannon and mungret at home

Who are the bigger sides,the two teams that came down from premier are bottom of the table,agree though dines are going well and will have no fear of mungret and Shannon,dines have added a few good players to their squad where as mungret have lost them,and Shannon are just poor anyway.

A fair summation.

I thought Fairview should have been 1 or 2 up at the break... A great save from the 'Lish keeper for a one on one early on. And then a point blank miss from the Fairview striker, followed by one or two more half chances missed.

Second half was a different story, I thought 'Lish dominated possession a bit. And the pressure probably deserved a goal. Limited to one or two shots on target, but had a lot of possession in the opponents half.

Moment of magic won the game. Left winger (I think), ran from inside his own half, cut in, nobody closed him down, and a powerful shot into the corner from just outside the box gave the keeper no chance.

I thought the result was a bit unfair on Fairview, and that a draw was a fair result. But it's a hard place to go out there, not many teams will pick up points.

"so called" is actually what i said

[van der wheil]

Our B team unlucky last night by all accounts.Doing a lot better then people thought though after losing so many players so fair play.

Geraldines will get promoted in a canter lads - there very strong and i believe Stuart Byrnes and Eddie Brazier are signing as well.

yes,doing very well,considering the team has changed almost completely
two decent signings for geraldines as well(don't agree with the canter part my friend!!)
hope they get promoted though

[dines08]

Their bench last night was very strong. Caherdavin actually had a lot of the ball but never looked as dangerous as the dines did. Geraldines pace and skill in midfield and up front is going to really test anybody. They could of had another 2 or 3 last night, hitting the woodwork twice and missing a couple of one on ones.

[Hibs7772]

Shannon Town and Mungret in the bottom 2, no one would have predicted that at the start of the season, Mungret were most peoples favourites to go up..

They seem to be tight at the back also but early days

Pike B 4-1 Granville
We played out a tough game on a fantastic pitch in glorious sunshine this morning, what junior football is all about, and we got the dream start as Pike Rovers old boy Me! popped up on the edge of the box and fired low past Stuie. 1-0 and we were value for it. But as expected Pike came flying back at us and scored 3 in quick succession to go in two goals up at the break. We played some lovely stuff in the second half at times and Stuie made several top saves but Pike hit us very well on the break and put the sealer on it late on with time ticking away. A very strong side, Pike will go a hell of a long way this season, well done to both teams on a clean hard competitive game.
Best for us: Niall Doran.

League is between pike and dines,I know it's early but these two are the strongest by far,

[Hibs7772]

Shannon Hibs 0-1 dines...Hibs were by far the better team in the 1st half and should have been at least 2 maybe 3 up.dines getting a goal around the 60th min after more hibs pressure in the first 15 mins of the second half, after dines got the goal they controlled the game holding on to the ball well. anyone know any other results for the day??

Another clean sheet for the Dines. I have to admit at this level thats outstanding. They must be very well organised and tuned in for whole 90. Anyone name the back 4 plus keeper for me??

Geraldines won this game as a result of a very bad goalkeeping error. Also, we hit the bar, missed a one on one and another good chance. They created very little at 0-0, looked ok at the back in fairness to them, solid enough but the chances we missed were very bad. Should have been 2 up and closed out the win. Bad misses and a bad mistake cost us the 3 points today.
