[schoolboygodno9]

Who were they playin donie

[oldlegs]

That's some score was it a bad day at the office kanturk are not a bad side

[donaldihno]

Killarney Celtic 8 Kanturk 0

Where do I start..unbielivable team we just came up against!
There two strickers were a class apart,1 who's plays with Ireland..
Match was switched to Killarney all weather last night!
Scary thing we did well in 1st half..2-0 down..

Just put a 10e at 16/1 in pp :)
Just incase..

It's sum step up from any premier team we have played..no cork junior would touch them maybe Kilumney nd coachford would give them a game..but only a game

[1fortheTeam]

Any games go ahead ?coachford 5 cahircoonlish 0 ....3 for jeffers 1 for babyzico and 1 for longie .jeffers is deadly simple as that .hard games like this are won by honest players .cahir played well and if they had a decent goal getter it could have been a closer match.

[oldlegs]

That's a good result for coachford they have tough draw in next round but should be afraid of no team the way their playing this year

[schoolboygodno9]

Who have coachford in nxt round

[schoolboygodno9]

coachford 5 cahircoonlish 0 ....3 for jeffers 1 for babyzico and 1 for longie .jeffers is deadly simple as that .hard games like this are won by honest players .cahir played well and if they had a decent goal getter it could have been a closer match. was meant to go down there 1 glad to see mark long on the scoresheet good player

[oldlegs]

Pike at home

[schoolboygodno9]

Ya big test for them thatll be a good game well see what level coachford are at

[oldlegs]

Good result for park too hopefully Killumney will get a result tomorrow and Greenwood too

[schoolboygodno9]

Lots of games off surely a move in line with loi is the way forward

[backpass]

Just off paddy powers site and some interesting prices about....coachford 14s but they are wel capable of giving pike a game at home as they are by far the best team in the aul and if they win youl be lucky to get 3s after it..killumney tasty price also at 22s....cork teams strong this year and both coachford and killumney could be worth a bet at those prices

[K.C.]

Forget about us oldlegs?? Well done to coachford and park today. Best of luck to the other Cork teams tomorrow too.

[Kearney]

I must say some of the posts do make me laugh. Hubba was no more down in park now. Wont even acknowledge some of the other rubbish that gets put on here. Great win for coachford today albeit against a division 1 limerick team. A clean sheet is impressive though. Pike will be a different ball game as I'm sure mick will know. Killumney have a tough game and if they win they have St. Michael's at home. Hardly an easy game either.

[thomas72]

Pike are in a diff league they will win very comfortably. Balla also a good team on there day very good cup team they will also win tomorrow.

[1fortheTeam]

Our game with pearce celtic off today went down to watch park first time i seen them play this year played great football abit too much at times but with darran lynch up front have one of the best centre forwards in cork great player..well done coachford great result any idea how many goals they left in this year defence have been key to so many title winning teams with solid keeper i have said it so many times but my pick on the title is park lads season juat startin;-)i did mention the park lads at aul looked like their starting to come into their own it will be some prem this year.

[fanaticfan]

Anyone know the score between college corinthians and ballingarry in the munster junior cup

[tricksey]

Greenwood lost 7-0 Kilreen lost 4-0 and killumney 2-1 any match reports lads ?I really fancied killumney today all
I heard Kilreen had 10 men in the first half .

[1fortheTeam]

Blarney astro pitch at 2 I thinki didnt see the 1st half i thought the kilumney lads were unlucky they had the best of what i seen and moved the ball fantastic at times .from what i seen great advert for football in cork last min goal what a sickner.well done the 2 glen celtic teams fab wins today.

[greengrass]

balla bossed the first half in all truth
just looked a step above kilumney until kilumney had a nice spell in second half where they got back into it with a cracking goal
from my angle it looked like he meant to cross it and it sailed into the far corner but what a strike
this gave the kilumney lads a lift and they gave a good 20 min spell but i was impressed by balla

there are some very strong junior teams out there
only my second time seeing kilumney play so im no expert on them but from the talk on here i expected much more from them

coachford for the premier i think

has anyone got odds??

[backpass]

a lot of goals conceded over the weekend by cork teams....outside of pearse.killumney and coachford I think its safe to say the standard is very poor....i cant remember the last time cork teams were destroyed like this

To be fair the lads all done well reaching this stage. As I said earlier a cork team wont win fai or mjc. Kanturk are a premier a team as are kilreen. So to get out of cork was very impressive but they were always going to struggle when they met top teams from Kerry + limerick. Greenwood were always going to struggle away to Michael's as well. No surprises there. Pike play coachford next round. Will see where cork aul are then. Killumney came up short today. Cork teams aren't good enough + that's the harsh truth.

Cork teams aren't good enough + that's the harsh truth.killumney wer a little unlucky to be fair they play football the right way and are all good on the ball best team i seen this year in aul.if cork aul teams are going to move forward the people behind the sceans at the clubs have to be football people.coachford 2 pitches good facilities a club like killumney need at least that.

Agree with you 100%
Ive never played against a team that passed and held the ball for so long in a match than killarney did!
We cudnt get out of our half,they ripped us to shreads..
There strikers movement touch,finishing,i cudnt believe what i was seeing!
Were a estaiblish premier A as are kilreen,and greenwood are a team not many would hammer in the premier!
The pikes,carew,st micheals,st brendans,killarney,they would be up dare with the avondale,rockmonts,corientians!
I really hope coachford do well against pike,but IMO its gonna be 4,5,6 nil,and thats the harsh realaity of it all

[1fortheTeam]

maybe your right they should be up there with the 3 cork sides you mention ..come on its senior in disguise but it is what it is .

Your probly right as pike would be not far off avondale id say coachford could pull off a shock its all on the day no doubt their manager will do everything in his power to upset them theve good players down there .they were given no chance up in carrick last year either 7 to 1 if i remember and beat them 1 0 so u never know but as 1for said there senior standard teams in junior comps

[littleman]

Before i say what i have to say some of ye know me an some do not.Though I ply my trade in the MSL the Aul an all that it is has given me the majority of my best memories in football. Its where my heart will always be so I dont say this lightly but Iv seen this coming over the last 6 months .

Over the last 6 months the AUL has gone through a massive change,folding clubs is part an parcel of our game but loosing 3 Premier clubs in a season to the Msl and even Grattans recent demise hasnt happened since Castleview,Temple and Ballincollig etc left a good few year ago.It has a huge knock on effect,the clubs who normally took up the lower postions of the premier etc etc now found themselves challenging for titles,and as the Fai an Mjc gets going,certain sides find them selves all of a sudden faced with sides normally they wouldnt ever play,ever because those normaly top Cork sides were the ones who reached the open rounds for the most part with no disreaspect meant.

The Aul is a junior league,we suffer because not only do we have the MSL but we have very little in the way of junior clubs who have proper underage systems where young players come through to develope into top junior players.Down in Cork,the vast majority of promising players,will want to go senior.The facilities,pitchs set ups,gear,attitude it all sways the current players minds,loyalty is in short supply as we will all agree.Bar the odd few in the Aul who have,its more likely that clubs have not,lets be honest.

And being from an area is no longer a guarrentee that the player will play for the local club and bring the club on.With all due respect to the comments about clubs in Limerick etc being senior clubs,its a choice.They chose to play junior because to those clubs,those really stand out clubs,Pike,Ballymun and Carrick to name but a few they value the FAI junior as the absaloute be all and end all.If senior was what all teams should aspire to then we would have 26 senior leagues,but we dont we have 3 or so,would we not.

I think we have some really promising junior teams in Cork . But we have lost the run of ourselves in the last 6 months . Each year the Fai and the Mjc draw is announced,success for Cork sides 99.99% of Cork sides will regard it a massive success if the reach the open draws.The Pikes an Carricks etc etc,they are dissapointed cause the don't WIN it.Massive difference again is it not. We from time to time,an no offence Donnie do excell,Passage and Leeside have won the Mjc in the last 15 or so years if im correct and we will usually have a side in the last 16\quaters at least of the Mjc.In the FAI, Grattan were the last side who got to the quater final of the Fai,following year the last 16.Greenmount,Maymount also got to the quater finals in recent history.Kinsale consistantly reached the last 16 or near enough,an Leeside again always did well.

But they were in the context of Cork junior football,superb sides. With all due respect to current Aul sides,the best are big fish in a small barrel,in the open rounds of the Fai and Mjc our barrel gets thrown into a bigger one with sharks in it. In a nut shell lads, we may think we are playing great ball but there are sides out there out side of Cork that are frighening to play against,but every year we enter the Fai an Mjc and some get to stand toe to toe for 90 mins or more.Most of us get knocked out,but a very rare few get to upset the favourites.I tip my hat to the Cork sides who chose to be different an got to the open rounds of the Mjc an the Fai,an I hope personally that we upset a favourite somewhere this year.

[schoolboygodno9]

Brilliant post littleman spot on hopefully coachford can pull off a big shock

[1fortheTeam]

lets be fair here lads pearce have done very well this year.credit to them i say go watch pearce v city utd sample the day if you want some of it work hard and things will happen if not you shouldnt be in football .atmospher in coachford sat and blarney today was great any player worth his salt would love it.

[schoolboygodno9]

Ya hard work if fine but you cant beat class on regular basis interesting report on the hall match today in mjc two of there own players scrapping and neither 1 sent off

[littleman]

1 for iv always enjoyed ur positive attitude in respect to all this currently Aul but il give u an example. I think Kearney has developed over the years into a very talented defender, imagine 4 of him with pace,,, Mark Nolan is for me superb, 4 of him, an ur own boy, 2 of him. Add a top class internationally capped at junior keeper, with a few Lynchs an Coackleys an Babbs on the bench,,,,,, thats whats out there waiting for ya, i want the Aul sides to get better as well but im not blinkered as to what we need to improve on. Know one outside of Cork will be nervous when there drawn home or away to a Cork Aul side now that certain sides are gone. Its a transition period, all i can hope for is we come out of it stronger eventually. Its not a dig, its just an honest assessment of where i think the Aul is in the whole scheme of things.

[thomas72]

As i said no cork team will beat a limerick premier team no chance to strong.

[1fortheTeam]

As i said no cork team will beat a limerick premier team no chance to strong.try avondale buddy take off the junior mask kilumney and coachford could take the saxone cup and presi,dnts cup and city cup to if they pretended to be 1st 2nd or 3rd div :ball:.
