glen celtic 3 carrigtwohoill 1.a well deserved victory for glen celtic as i predicted, very dissapointed in carraig to be honest .expected more from the highfliers of premier a. i had heard a lot about the carrig no 11 but he was very quiet.the glen front 2 john corcoran and barry donavan gave the centre halves a torrid time.ist goal was a bad defensive mistake,corcoran disspoessed the defender and pulled a great ball back for the in rushing forward to make it 1 nill.ten minutes into second half a free kick on the angle of the box was badly dealt by the carrig keeper to make it 2 nill.glen dropped the tempo a bit then and with about 20 minutes a great ball into the box was finished by carrigtwohils john magnier ,game on. ,but a foul by carraig defender mark o mahony on john corcoran his second yellow as the glen forward was bearing down on goal meant a sending off and the resultant free kick was brilliantly put away by mark nolan. good performance by the home side who are now into the open draw..was looking down the carraig line and didnt see OWL there ,but maybe radiostar may give his report later. out of the fai wouldnt be a diaster for them as consolidateing premier a status and finishing as high up the table would i expect be their priority.

carrig are a decent side shetland......they have been making steady progress over the years....they didnt produce the form on the day to be honest....and glen celtic played really well....on there number 11 he would make every topside in the aul stronger thats if he,s the same fella wer talking bout....but again he had a quiet game..the keeper for carrig really is a weak spot....so all in all it was a good win for glen....and a open draw ahead for them

AUL 1A Douglas Hall v Innishvilla on at Douglas fine complex should be great game between 2 ball playing teams on a great surface one to watch if not doing anything on a cold friday night .

Agreed - should be a good game. Unfortunately it clashes with my x-mas work do so I'll miss it but looking out now it could be cold & wet which will reduce the number of spectators...

In fairness were well in game until mick welsh made few second half substitutions but really collapsed after that...could and should be a very second half of season for Coachford

Glen Celtic 2 Knockraha 0

Glen continued their 100% start 2 the league with a win over one of the other contenders this morning. That is 7 wins from 7 with 29 goals scored and just 2 conceded. Big one next week in the last 64 of FAI junior cup. Good form going into it though.:ball:

Springfield v Killumney called off. Pitch unplayable??????????????

Overthehill, with all your '??????????????' - it seems to make your comment very sinister!. :confused:

As you correctly stated, the game was called off due to an unplayable pitch!, I assume this was the same for the other 10+ Aul games called-off over the weekend, along with numerous other MSL fixtures.
Id put this down to the very heavy rain that fell during the week . . . wouldnt you?, dont know your exact location(west of the city r somewhere), but we did have severe downpours here in Cob-H during the week which would have resulted in many pitch(es) being unplayable.

At least the call was made early this morning and ye were informed before ye set out on your journey(all the way from the west!!!). :p

overthehill

04/12/2011, 9:12 PM

Almost correct in your comments ruler, but if it was so unplayable from all the rain "during the week" could the call have been made sat evening and the game switched to Killeady which was perfect?
As for my location and informing me before i set out on my journey... i was in the big smoke sat night and travelled down sun morn. Thanks for trying anyway! That would be the main reason in truth for my frustration! No hard feelings!

offside rule

04/12/2011, 10:05 PM

As I said previously, the decision was made early Sun morn (@8/8.30am) - it was left 'til then to give the pitch every oppurtunity of drying-out!. Unfortunately this didnt happen and the top surface was still very soft and would of cut up very quickly after kick-off!. This would definately have ruined what looked like a good game of ball between two footballing sides.

We would have loved this fxture to have taken place,
1) because of possible back log of fixtures, ie-last Season
2) now go into next weeks big Fai Jnr Cup away to Ballymun, without a game in 14+ days.

Finally, hope you enjoyed ur nite out 'in the big smoke', ud want to get onto your gaffer/teammates for not letting you know bout game being off before you set out from the city!!!.

Shetland, where to begin. A game that we looked like we would cruise after opening first half. Story of our year, not finishing chances. Greenwoods opening 2 were screamers in fairness. Their third was a gift. At 3-2 down, 20 mins to go, they went down to ten men. We missed subsequent pen, our 4th missed pen in row in normal time. If we had scored that feel we would have went on to win it. As it happened Greenwood held on.

Did ye have a full side out Boo?

Brian & Paidi O Sull were on bench with (knocks), Gavin Daly, Derek Delea, Jack Aherne, Gonks, Alec Nodwell all out. No excuse, team out should have won it. Costly 3 pts I reckon. We have been plagued by injuries but to be honest its our missed chances that are costing us games.

Forgot to give the Greenwood keeper a mention. He made at least three top drawer saves, low down, from point blank range. Easily Man of the match.

Cork Draw:
Innishvilla away to Broadford United from Limerick District league - don't know much about them away trip but only to north cork/south limerick border. Any info would be appreciated
As above Glen Celtic at home to Wiclow Rovers - The have a leinster Senior league side so I guess this is their 2nd team - they got to the last 16 last year beating Castleview & Coachford en route so some guys on here should have some info.
Knockavilla got Bansha Celtic from Tipp - Mid table on 1st division (there is a premier division) so Knockavilla should fancy their chances.
Fairview away to Athenry - a mid premier division side in Galway so a tough away trip.
Kinsale/Glasheen will travel to Limerick to face Moyross - I know nothing of the Moyross side.
Midleton/Tramore meet Crettyard United away in Carlow.Innishvilla, presuming your coming from the Mallow side, drive to Dromcollogher via Liscarroll, drive straight through Dromcollogher keeping left with the square on your right, keep driving out of Dromcollogher, you'll see the church on your right as you leave the town, Broadford is 3 miles back that road. When you come in to Broadford, drive right through the long village, keep going till you see FOLEYS BRIDGE HOUSE BAR facing you (give a knock round the back if you wanna get in that time!) Just go over the bridge which is beside the pub and turn right into COVE PARK, you'll see the sign then. Have ye many coming? Might try have a few refreshments ready for you if you can give me a number....

Thanks for the info I'll pass it onto the management - I don't know how many are travelling up - I've the kids for the weekend so I can't make it but I know there is a great buzz about the place for the game...

Surely wilton tonight, despite Castleview's good form?

As far as i know on the day in question Knockavilla played an illegal player, appeal was made, appeal was won.

great game friday night in the cross,castleview played very well in the 1st half unlucky not to score a 2nd,best of look to them for the rest of the year think they will definitely be pushing for promotion.2nd half was all us thankfully didnt play our best but still got the win.
any taughts?

Was at the match Friday night & agree with most of what you said except that it was a great game. The game itself was poor & there was always only going to be 1 winner. Wilton weren't at their best but in the end deserved the win. I thought both keepers looked suspect from every set piece and from every cross & ultimately it was a keepers mistake that led to the 1st Wilton goal. He flapped at a corner & it was headed home. The View to their credit scored almost straight away & held on till half time. I think Castleview were lucky Wilton were so poor as I was expecting a goal fest from the premier club. The so called big players from Wilton didn't play to their ability so therefore it wasn't the best of games. When Castleview moved their big striker back into the middle, they looked better & passed the ball around a it more. Once Wilton got the 3rd I thought it was a case of how many Wilton would get but they seemed content with the fact that the game was over. Wilton had Paul O' Mahony in midfield which was strange considering how good he is up front. He got 2 but would have been more effective up top. In my opinion Castleview won't challenge in Premier A, i think a top 4 finish would be a good achievement as the top teams in Premier A are strong.

Great game of football down the glen yesterday. Glen came out flying and went 1 up early on through Mark Nolans stunning free kick. In fairness Wicklow came back into it straight away and had a few good chances to level matters but did not equalise till a mistake by the Glen keeper midway through the 2nd half put them back in the game. Glen made a few tactical changes and seemed to have the better of the chances for the remainder of the game with John Corcoran nearly clinching it in the 2nd period of extra time.

Must give a lot of credit to the Wicklow defence as they kept Corcoran and Barry o Donovan under wraps for most of the game which was not easy. And a mention for the Wicklow no 9 who looked a class act with his all round game.

It was a great experience for all involved who i must say looked after the Wicklow crowd very well overall and fed them before they departed with best of wishes to them in the last 32.

This is a very young Glen team and i have no doubt if they keep this team together for the next few years they can achieve an awful lot.:ball:

donnie nothing could be done about their goal their left full hammered a volley in to the box hit off our defender and went in nothing our keeper could do,a few of us didnt play well but thankfully it didnt matter,taught we played some lovely ball in the 2nd half if im honest..

I thought the opposite when they put him back in to the middle it opened it up a bit more for Wilton's midfield as he didn't press the play at all compared to the lad in the first half. Castleview prob should have been in front. Ye got a bollicking at half time I've no doubt sharp.. Went up a gear in the second half and had too much for them.

I never said the keeper was at fault for the Castleview goal but overall I thought both keepers were poor. Yes Wilton played better ball second half but that was to be expected as ye are the Premier side & Castleview were always going to tire.

I think it was always going to open up 2nd half Six as Castleview were going to tire a bit & you would expect the premier outfit would show their class. It is hard sometimes for the big teams to lift it when the opposition are dogged like Castleview are but bar a massive upset Wilton were always going to win the game. Wilton didn't play well but they won the game & that was the most important thing.

I see Macroom and Blarney Street both lost at home at the weekend. I already commented on Macroom last week, how are blareny street fixed, they seems to be struggling lately also. I thought at the start of the year they might be in the running?

ALso I see Coachford didnt have it easy in the AOH against Hillington from the 3rd division.

I do nt think we ever thought we ld have it easy but were never in any danger of losing the game Pacman as we went out with a good attitude, but Hillington made it difficult for us. We just about had the pitch right for it, however it cut up very badly and that evened it out, the result was all that mattered, scrappy game but delighted to be in the hat for the last 16.

I see Fairview and Glen Celtic did themselves proud in the FAI, they would have been good scalps to take, Fairview might give Kinsale a game in the MJC this weekend if they re not too tired from their trip!!

No doubts castleview or any other prem a teams are as fit if not fitter than your wiltons or kinsales, but no matter how fit you are, your going to get tired faster if you havnt got the ball, you could clearys see the space wilton had in the last 25 mins of the game and there extra quality showed, 4th goal was as classy as your likley to see
