Irish Amateur team beaten 2-1 by hosts Portugal to-night in final of European Amateur Nations Cup. Nil all at half-time, Portugal took the lead, Ireland levelled before Portugal got what proved the winner. All three St.Michaels players took part, James Walsh captained the side, Chris Higgins played in defence and Paul Breen came on in the second-half.

Fair play to them for getteing there.Massive achievment and good to see a few TSDL lads on the team.

Losing finalists in 2001, Braga finally got their hands on the UEFA Regions' Cup trophy, with right-back José Fortunato winning a tight final against Leinster & Munster with a fine chip from the flank six minutes from time at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos.
The No2 had been picked out in space as Dito's side poured forward, and wrong-footed Leinster & Munster goalkeeper Brendan O'Connell with a supremely composed finish. Braga had taken the lead through a no less impressive Pedro Nobre strike on 62 minutes, but their dogged opponents struck back soon after, David O'Sullivan pouncing on a loose ball after Ray Whelehan's free-kick was parried.
Crossbars rattled at both ends before the break. Leinster & Munster gave early warning of their threat on three minutes, with Laurence Dunne's strike unwittingly finding the frame of the goal via a deflection off defender Daniel Simões. Powerful and assured throughout this tournament, the Irish side made the early running, but nimble and enterprising Braga slowly gained a foothold.
O'Connell made the first save of the game, blocking with a foot after Diogo Leite threaded a ball through to João Silva in the box, while Luís Ribeiro forced the goalkeeper to make a diving stop with a menacing strike from outside the box. Yet it was Pedro Nobre who got the crowd on their feet. The fleet-footed winger weaved his way into the box on the left in first-half added time and was repelled once before returning with an even more dazzling display of skill, ghosting around two defenders and driving against the underside of the crossbar.
The interval came at a good time for Gerry Smith's side, whose attacking verve seemed to be returning before Braga struck just after the hour. As Irish players crowded to stop Pedro Nobre spinning into the box once more, the winger cut back on the edge of the area and squeezed a low shot past O'Connell's outstretched right hand.
Leinster & Munster responded six minutes later. Whelehan's fierce free-kick surprised Rui Vieira, who could only fend the ball out to O'Sullivan, who finished unerringly. Game on once more, José Ferreira fluffed his lines when Pedro Nobre planted the ball at his feet on the break, but the killer blow was struck on 84 minutes, when the ball was fed out wide to José Fortunato. The right-back sent in a glorious chip from the flank which dipped under the crossbar and in.

tipp town Fc and cahir park back in pre season this week. would imagine it will be another few weeks before most other clubs are back doing abit

[Bobby D]

Any truth in Wayne Fitz from Carrick taken over at Cahir Park...

[balls]

would believe it. Cahir badly need a turnaround in fortunes at junior level. someone like wayne fitz with abit of clout in attracting top junior players is just what cahir need. but i havent personally heard the rumour he is taking over

[kneebandage]

Any truth in Wayne Fitz from Carrick taken over at Cahir Park...
Dont know if its true or not but there is serious rumours going around about players going to Cahir the latest i heard last night is Alan''Minge''Ryan from Carrick this is along with the others being mentioned,Wayne and Thomas Fitz,Smurf,Ian Barnes and Alan Coady,the Carrick lads on the Waterford league thread are staying very quiet so i dont know if thats a good or bad thing,time will tell though.

[the wombat]

looks like cahir have to decided to throw a bit of money at it and see can they buy success. the sheiks have arrived in the tsdl......................

[SgtBilko]

supposedly wayne fitz was out in cahir park at a meeting last nite, barnes and darren burns are defo goin out there, cudnt see it lasting, didnt they do this with lads from cork before? hey any idea who won the joe delaney cup or has it been played

[balls]

they brought down 3 or 4 players from cork, season before last, think it was to try and have a good year in 2010 for there centenery year. few were decent but not exceptional a tricky winger, full back and the player manager was an alright player. the players they are being linked with now are all top players and would instantly make cahir far more competitive in the premier division. they definatly wouldnt be in a relegation battle if they add those carrick and ex town players mentioned in previous posts

[footballfanatic]

Ya i remember they signed the cork lads and a cork manager i think. That really didnt work out for them one bit, i remember seeing them a sunday mornin in a pretty important relegation battle and a few of the cork lads were still drunk nearly. They just didnt have the interest or respect which was suprisin considerin the effort they would have puttin in to attend training.
It would be good to have them competing for titles, they were always a decent juvenile club. It doesnt add up that they are never challenging for the title.

[cufc champions]

Staying quiet because their is very little truth in most of it.
There was talk of Wayne going to Cahir how true it is I dont know, Fizzy hasnt played since last november and is the middle of a lengthy rehab, Minge is retiring I think he defo wouldnt go to Cahir park at 33 years of age and Alan is only back from Oz so I dont know in his case but up and until he left he was enjoying his football with Carrick.

[PaConnors23]

When do Division 4 teams usually start back?

[Mega Tots]

Borris seem to be making some very shrewd signings,if they get all of the players they are been linked too they will be considerably stronger than last season,the league looks like it is going to be far more competitive and a lot more points will be dropped by the big 2

[PaConnors23]

When do the the Division 4 teams usually start back pre-season?

[Redman028]

When do the the Division 4 teams usually start back pre-season?

Every team is different but id imagine most are started back already and the rest in the next couple of weeks

[celticlads]

any other news from any other clubs. all transfers seem to be about cahir. surely others news or stories going around?

well I wouldnt say that now! it was peake and borris up to recently

I wasnt knocking ya or anything just thought it might be a bad sign for Carrick if no one denied the rumours,but at this stage thats all they are is rumours,I personally cant see Minge retiring he still has plenty to offer any team,I know Coady was enjoying Carrick but he was very good friends with Smurf and Barnsey so maybe they are putting the squeeze on him to try a new challenge but even for Cahir to be mentioned with all these players shows there must be something going on behind the scenes.

[rightboy]

I would be surprised if cahir went down the short term/ quick fix route as they did for the last two years pure disaster for them just look at other clubs who went that route over the years peake at youths/ junior level Cashel at youths didn't have a youth team for 5 years so it doesn't work longterm for club I mean if saints can do it over 75% of their 1st team squad came through their schoolboys I think Celtic have a decent level as do Cashel now so it's not a good idea for cahir , what do you think lads ? Am I being very naive or stupid?

[Unitedno20]

Who have they been linked with now, I believe they were linked with alot of players last season too but how many actually signed.

[cufc champions]

Apparently Wyne Fitz going in as player/manager and gave a rousing speech at at a meeting with the team including his mate barry murphy must br some cash in cahir yes i said it

[theboywonder8]

Waited till 4 in the morning to say it though,ha

[balls]

was the delaney youths played this weekend.

[nononsense]

was the delaney youths played this weekend.

The Cahir Park page on Facebook states they are Joe Delaney champs 2011 so must have been played to-day. Some nice photos also on the page but no score given.

[West Hammer]

A very hollow victory for Cahir in Joe Delaney. They should never have agreed to play in a final when fairly beaten in semi, they should have stayed out of it and let League sort out it's own mess.

[balls]

fixture was not down on tsdl website i dont think. i thought the game would just be swept under the carpet forgotten about and competition just started from scratch next year. town must be fuming suppose we still have a tsdl winner of the competion in cahir park so i suppose that is one positive from the hole mess

[Tipp Top]

Massive PR own goal,you would wonder what type of guys are running these clubs,anyone with half a brain would know you should avoid getting involved in this sort of thing,once they were beaten they should have stayed out of it,i mean what value do those medals have? On another note Cashel Town are being raided by Borris with Derek Hayes,Micky Coleman and Ross Doyle all rumoured to be on their way

[balls]

derek hayes and ross doyle i dont think were really playing with cashel for the most of last season. mickey coleman is huge loss arguably cashels best player. 3 good signings that will greatly improve borris squad. next season is looking like the best premier division season in years if cahir and borris can get all these rumoured signings in

[rightboy]

Pity the way Joe Delaney cup finished up cause it's a nice trophy to win , I think town will have to have a good luck at themselves I think league punished them over all the walkovers they have given over the last few years at youth level so I dont think u can blame cahir to much any other club would have diner same. As fir Cashel town Derek Hayes n Ross doyle didn't play much last year but I heard mickey Coleman on way to town with Colin Bargary looking to go back to saints , I'm not sure have they a manager I think they might struggle this year

[SgtBilko]

very true, how could they even celebrate, medals are worthless, a joke really, a lot of people would need to take a look at themselves

[balls]

mikey coleman would be better off going to town. i could see him fit straight in to there first 11 no problem. he would have far better chance of winning a medal with town than borris. if bargary goes to saints aswell cashel would be in serious trouble. Those 2 players and david slattery would be the difference from cashel finishing 4th or 5th again and being deep in a relegation battle

[addict]

Any news on the makeup of the leagues for the upcoming season. This was supposed to be sorted out on the 29th of June but nothing up on the website as of yet. Anyone heard of any new teams entering this year?

coleman should really go to town or saints. there is no real point in movin to borris if he wants to challenge for the big trophies.

[stelling]

The forms are out so i don't know why there is so many rumours still flying about,unless a lot of players are keeping their options opened to see who clubs actually sign,any confirmed signings out there?

league make up could be held back till start of august id say. any new club looking to apply will have done so already this wont be the hold up its just there is no point releasing a list of teams in which division when this could all change due to some teams pulling out close to start of the season which may result in a rejig

[Bin Ladin]

smurf burns signing for cahir park for certain ian barnes to st michaels and anthony nipper power leaving carrick for piltown

[celticlads]

Jimmy Hynes and Danny Ryan from Nenagh Celtic have signed with Clonmel Town

[the wombat]

Jimmy Hynes and Danny Ryan from Nenagh Celtic have signed with Clonmel Town

unusual to see nenagh players come down south. are the 2 lads any good??

[balls]

jimmy hynes is a striker i think. you would often here of him banging in the goals against tsdl teams in mjc and fai games. havent heard of the other lad but he must be fairly decent aswell if town are in for him. some trek down from nenagh to clonmel for a game of ball

[rightboy]

The talk in limerick is that jimmy Hynes going to pike , I'm not surprised town going for a striker they were very week up front last year though I think Evan maguire is going to be a decent player but needs help up front I know they had the chap from unities but he is regarded as squad player in clonmel , I d be surprised if Ian barnes went to saints or was spoken about last Xmas for him to make the switch but it didn't happen

Jimmy Hynes is signed with Clonmel

[stelling]

Jimmy Hynes is signed with Clonmel

Who is he Celiclads? Is he any good? I would have guessed Ian Barnes would stay at Town and Burns would go to Celtic,probably stll a couple of weeks before teams go back training so will still be the silly season for rumours

[celticlads]

hes a striker, best in north tipp by a long way always scores in the big games has scored many a goal against clonmel down through the years

[stelling]

He will be a very good addition to Town so,all very quiet down in Cooke Park,i would expect a couple of big signings from them looking to push on for that FAI,they are very very close

[theboywonder8]

They were very very close this year and last year,so maybe 3rd time lucky,doubt it though,

[rightboy]

I think saints are very close they have a young squad with good youths coming through I don't think they will lose anyone and with one or two addition could build on an excellent last season , town are building too they have a great back five if they can sign a striker and a couple of midfielders they won't b too far away but can anyone what has happened to that town munster youths team didn't see many on 1st team they were a fantastic team any thoughts guys

[SgtBilko]

hey all this nonsense about barnes signin for Michaels, one man will walk away from Michaels if he signs and thats Dermot Finnan, spoke to a few guys about this already and they have said its a no go and they dont want him
