Was Ian Bennis managing them?

Any idea what happened?bennis a sound fella in fairness,done a great job with the fairview last year

[AlanOB]

I don't know him personally, but I doubt even he would agree with your last statement!

No clue at all what happened with Cashel.

Bit harsh Alan o Brien.... I don't know the man personally but considering the panel that he had to work with in fairview it wasn't a bad term.... if I recall they did beat both top sides (Boro FAI and Pike MJC).... look it's horses for courses.... as you well know if a coach/manager gets 100% backing from the comittee in bringing in the right players to help a team progress it helps quite a lot..... it happens in most clubs...........What's ur take on the view this year Alan?

Now getting back to the FAI this weekend.... will be get the dream final that we're all hoping for..... be some final in the markets field.......

[AlanOB]

The final will be held in the AVIVA regardless of what happens this weekend, given their sponsorship of the competition.

As for Fairview, those two big victories happened in November, after which they went into a massive slump of form that was never arrested. They fell to the then-1A side Mungret Regional at the next hurdle of the MJC and got knocked out by 1A opposition (Shannon Town) in the Lawson too. Also contrived to lose to Pike in the league despite leading 3-1 going into the last ten minutes.

Basically, from December on it was a disaster. Rumours abounded of players not training and/or not playing for their manager. "Great job" is not even in the same ballpark as accurate.

As for Fairview this year, they are exactly where I thought they'd be despite a massive influx of players in the close season. I predicted a mid-table finish for one of the strongest squads in the league (on paper) at the beginning of the season, when certain others were predicting victory. Suffice it to say, that "great job" is still not applicable. I think that the relative levels of underachievement presided over by this and the previous regimes are pretty similar, to be honest. And I'm not at all surprised at that state of affairs.

Fairview have really under achieved this year imo,Fair play to Paul ODonnell he has put a really strong side together and maybe next season will be there year
I think Bennis and Paul would be a great combination for joint managers,just a thought
For what players bennis had at his disposal last year i thought he did a 'great job' just my opinion but i stand over it
some huge results and brought the club out of the doldrums a little since Jason Purcell left in 2010

[AlanOB]

That's what this place is for: opinions.

And yes, the stature of the club certainly didn't decline under his tenure anyway, to be fair. The fault for that situation lies elsewhere.

Promotion from the 1st division will be tight, a few teams in the mix on similar enough points

Galbally won the first division and Tipp Town up following a play off, shame for Cahir park that they missed out, especially with the 1st class facilities they have.... A good achievement by Tipp town to reach the top flight

Any big movements with players/managers in the league.... Any big suprises
