How can you say crystal are favourites, the might have home advantage but on recent form you cant be serious. The drew with a bad southend team the weekend, a team that carrick beat 3-0 at their ease.

You can expect this site to be getting a lot of posts in the next 10 days or so from all of us Limerick League suporters , particulary any Park supporters that are on the site ...

The big question is are Waterford Crystal deserved favs to beat Park and proceed to the 1/2 finals??

I have seen Park a little this season and they are not a bad side but they are not the finished article either ... How good is the guy who all the appeals were input against. Did he deserve all the attention or was it desperate teams clutching at straws???

what kind or pitch do waterford crystal have, is it narrow, wide, short long.

irisheagle
21/02/2005, 10:25 PM
Crystal have two pitches both are excellent once they cut they grass !!! lol. In a resent Munster Cup game they played on a meadow like second pitch hoping to stop Carrick playing football, Carrick won 2-1. Crystal are very fit, very well organised at the back with possibly the best junior keeper in the country. Up front the player who has been the subject of many failed objections Martin Tyain is an excellent goal scorer. Crystal once they go in front are difficult to pull back. They had a lot of good luck when they beat Carrick 2-1 in a previous round and that luck seems to have remained with them since. By no means an outstanding side, but well capable of beating any of whats left in the years competation.
Having said all that their result against Southend in the league was poor, Carrick pasted Southend the previous week with half a team. Park have nothing to fear here, thats one major fact they should get into their minds before traveling.

The munster junior cup game against carrick was played on their second pitch, which is poor enough. The grass was very high! Their main pitch however is one of the best in the league. it is very level and should be in good nick for the quarter final, there is plenty of space to play ball on it. I would think they will play the 1/4 final on the main one but they pulled a fast one when playing carrick by putting the game on the second pitch, the height of the grass was ridiculous.

Irisheagle,
You seem to know a good bit about waterford junior league soccer, have you seen many premier league games recently? If so who do you think are favourites to win the league this year, and how do your rate crystal compared to the other top teams?

carricksmasher
22/02/2005, 12:49 PM
last table i saw had carrick 3 points ahead of crystal but i think crystal had 2 games in hand on them. Southend are top but with a lot more games played than anyone else.

From what I have heard from home carrick are coming into a bit of form and have wayne fitzgerald back from waterford utd as well. Won in the munster senior cup at the weekend and are away to cork city in the next round.

Carrick have to be favourites, if they want it bad enough they will win it. Hibs have slipped recently while Crystal have yet to prove they will last the pace. Carrick away to Hibs and at home to Crystal will be decesive games. Tramore looked a very good team the day Carrick beat them. Crystal are hard working with little frills, strong at the back. But quite honestly an average team, no less, no more.
Carrick seem to have strength in debth, they hammered Southend with many faces missing. They play Kinsale in the Munster Junior Cup at home next Sunday, should be quite a game. Carrick beat a strong Cork senior league side in The Munster Senior cup Sunday

Brendan rea is still managing crystal, Ther obviously in the 1/4 of the f.a.i junior cup final and are unbeaten in the league but are out of the munster junior cup. Rea has the crystal team playing a very defensive minded formation.

Carrick are away to newcastle west of limerick, and ferrybank are away to tralee dynamos who are an excellent side. Carrick beat tralee away on penalties in the munster senior cup, there an excellent side. Don't know anything about newcastle, incidentally ferrybank are at home to carrick next saturday in the league.

i only heard the report on WLR and judging from that they were comfortable enough, although the goal was a due to a bit of a blunder from the keeper.

They got it wrong, I believe Park were camped in the Crystral half for long periods, hit the crossbar, missed a great chance one on one, and had the keeper scrambling with near misses.
I am sure if you ask somebody in Waterford they will count themselves very lucky !!

Best of luck to them anyway !

Well done to waterford crystal on getting into the semis.Literally sent park on their way-didnt even offer them a cup of tea after the game.This is a disgrace.
There was tea and sandwiches provided by Crystal after the game as usual, Park Rangers were also invited to join Crystal in another local pub where the Crystal players went afterwards
Like all the other Quarter Finals Statoil also provided Bottles of water/minerals and sandwiches

Not comfortable at all id say park had bout 60 to 70% of posession should have won the game but crystal were very resiliant.Think if they meet tough opposition away from home they will find it hard.an of the 4 teams left can win think they are all fairly equal. :ball:

Fair enough comment on the match, they are not a bad sign and it wont be easy to beat them in the semi,sespecially in Waterford.

Westport must fancy their chances big time .The two great wins away from home against PIKE AND kILLESTER should make them clear favs. but my money is on Carew to pull off the stroke of the season especially if they get the tie in Limerick and can keep their composure which is a problem for them sometimes

Suppose only time will tell see if players come or go in the summer. We played Hibs, DLS and Tramore in the cups this year and only lost to tramore, i know cup games are completely different and week in week out up in the premier is going to be tough epsecially seeing as the average age of the team is about 22. but i think the least we should be hoping for is staying up :confused:
