Congrats to Avondale utd on a fantastic achievement winning four in a row, to lose two players to injury before half time and still be convincing winners just shows how good a team they really are.

i must say the surface out in turners cross looking unreal fair play to them out there for the keep up of the pitch

[liveforfootball]

To be honest I don't think dales will win the league never mind the intermediate cup , struggled for long periods against most teams so far this season and I don't think the same enthusiasm is there with JR as it was JC !!!

Seems to me like you kinda called this a bit wrong moonman

Any estimate on the attendance at the Cross today?

hard to say as alost everyone was in the same stand as me, but I'd say between 5 and 700. Decent enough crowd.

Evening Echo gave the gate receipts as €3,400.
It was €10 and €5 in.

It was €10 and €5 in.I wasn't there Donie but I thought it a bit strange that they gave a monetary sum and not an attendance figure.
I do know that the Avondale underage players were subsidised by the club and there were comps about for this also.

Well done to Avondale, fabulous achievement. Now for the 5 in a row !

They had no tickets or scanning facilities, just cash at the turnstile. Just gave out a rounded off cash figure in the end, I guess.
Hard to tell how many in the stand when you're in it yourself (!), but would estimate an attendance of 800-1,000, including any subsidized kids and comps. Hardly anyone in the other three stands, which were closed off at KO, but later very, very thinly populated.

Enjoyed the game; could have been an absolute cracker had UCD a decent striker or two. They had 3 or 4 lads very good on the ball, to be fair.

Impressive stuff from Avondale: 30 games unbeaten since losing the 2010 Final. No goals conceded in their seven games this season.

Good highlights. Did UCD even cross the half way line? Some outfit Avondale are. Fair play John Ryan and all his troops, a superb achievement.
