Thats sounds like David alright. Great skill & pace but not always an end product.

Keane cup Result:Rockmount 3-0 Douglas Hall

[Glenbuck]

Sorry for the delay in getting back. Problems with computer. Passion on and off the field ??? Where and when was this. Dave played well alright and Gary Coughlan took his goal well but passion !!!!! Not sure on that one. Probably the poorest Mount / Saints games in years. Good win for Marys.

Rockmount management got it seriously wrong on the day,fair enough it was a cup that neither side will win but a derby is a derby and there would be something seriously wrong with a player if he didnt want to be in the first 11,giddy and cambridge and o connor left on the line all and were introduced late on and it was clear to see rockmount were the better team then but the damage had already been done

[tricksey]

Saw the hall vs rockmount Tuesday Douglas are a very poor side I'm tipping them for relegation.ive seen all bar the Avondale game this year of Douglas hall and there a poor side I think moorsey just hasn't got the players to b honest.rockmount were rockmount nothing spectacular just efficient

[splinter]

any result from dale and midleton game??

[striker9]

3-1 avondale comfortable win.

[the hawk]

Really disappointed with Midelton .Taught they would have put up a bit more of a fight but they were blown away from the first minute by a very strong looking Avondale team

[Sparky]

Not sure if it was Avondale on fire or Midleton below par but it really was a stroll in the park for Avondale. Avondale played some top football in first half especially. Very impressive. Midleton huffed and puffed in second half but nothing to exactly report regarding chances. I heard Midleton were a force to be reckoned with this year but on this showing I have to question my informers :-).................good entertaining game all the same.

[freddie04]

While Avondale were'nt at the full flow tonight they were still very good and with too much quality all over the pitch. midleton just were not able to hold on to the ball long enough to ever put Avondale under sustained pressure. what did people really expect tonight Avondale are a class outfit with quality player all over the park. Look at midleton best player for the last two years only on the bench that say's it all and just shows the gulf in quality between Avondale and a lot of teams in the msl.
I have seen every team in the league this season and the way Avondale can pass the ball around is great to watch. no disrespect to the other teams but they aren't in the same class as Avondale . But there isn't a whole lot between all the other teams in the league and I'm including rock mount in that. still not a bad start for midleton they probably would have taken 7pts from 4 games played.

[Mr.Reliable]

Agree with Freddies comments, very accurate account of the game. Midleton had no clear cut chances, and goal was a good finish from break away move! Avondale always had another gear if needed! Chubbs on the bench is a luxury no other side can afford even if he is just back from being away. Relating to Sparkies comment, for me, Midleton where below par, change of formation to 3 5 2 as players away, 3 hard playing centre backs, with unnatural wingbacks playing, found it hard to play the ball out from the back. Went long a lot due to this and found it very hard to hold it up as overpowered by Avondales centre- halfs. Needed a big man who was unavailable that night. Thus legs went trying to close the gap between up top and midlfield! Work- rate was good. On a quality surface tho (if not any) Avondale will have better passing and movement than any other team in the league, if you have a different opinion fair enough, but just be aware your opinion is wrong. Are Avondale the best amateur team in Ireland?? Yes?? You where buying money if you got them at 4/9 really. Still think there is a lot more to come from Midleton however, good management in place and good team moral from what I can see. It's still early days and building blocks are only being laid. Will they go down? No! Will they threaten to win the league? No! Mid table finish is all that can be expected.

[villaman10]

avondale totally outplayed midleton, first time seeing midleton this year and from reading older posts expected more, seems to me its an easy out to say avondale are fantastic and cant be stopped!! is the game lost before a ball is kicked??

[bullet]

mr reliable never read so much crap after been beaten by corinthians last week no posts from anyone from midleton,the week before ye beat everton and ye nearly crashed the site there was so many of ye on and this week put in yere place by avondale and excuses excuses excuses missing this player couldnt play from the back what a load of bull.

[freddie04]

go back to last week post bullet and you will see a fair post on the midleton game v corinithian again making no excuses beaten by a better team on the night .
even though midleton were missing a few defenders last night that really would'nt have made any difference to the result avondale were just the better team on the night. avondale would want to have a off night and midleton would have to be on top form for them to have any chance. that's just being realistic, the level that avondale play at is just higher tempo and skill than a lot of teams in cork or the whole country. as a previous post stated will midleton win a league or compete for top three probably not, but will they compete with a lot of team's in the top division yes.
the senior premier league has a lot of team's on par with each other and one outstanding team in avondale. thats just fact....

[corkey121]

Hi lads, intersting rumours going around about the ringmahon senior team appartently only 6 training both night this week.is this a sinking ship to div 2.it would be a real shame on that club..On the other hand apparently malcom stoke has been apporached for this position.he would be a good choice to get best out of players..just to add to the 6 training this is because of injuries suppose to be missing 6/7 due to injury.havent seen them since the carrigaline game who are also in a bit of bother could barry mcgovern be about to take that job :hat:

[thebooboys]

Leeside 3 - Wilton 2 (1 o.g. a piece) and Leeside snatched goal in last minute. Game could have went either way to be fair.

[striker09]

midleton here lads ..... agree with comments about game last night v avondale ....avondale were different class last night and no team would have beaten them on that performance last night . from our point of view 7 points from 4 games is good start for us with basically new team .Would not fault our team effort and workrate. intermediate cup action next week v blarney after 2 defeats need to get that win quickly ........

[striker09]

no excuses from me by the way :-)

[razor]

UCC lead Mary's 4-0 when I left this afternoon.

[ringmahon4ever]

Beat cobh today one nil .great battling win after the week we had.

[freddie04]

Any result from college Corinthians and Everton game today

[ringmahon4ever]

Any result from college Corinthians and Everton game today

One all

[freddie04]

That was a good point for Everton away from home today it might kick start their season. Corinthians will obviously be disappointed with not keeping their 100% record especially being at home. Still 10pts from 12 is a great start to the season. It just shows that every team on their day in this division are hard to beat.

[Clifford]

Great to see match reports etc and football talk on here last few days. Love it. Pls lets keep this going.

What a division the Prem is. All these teams are superb on their day. Fair play to Ucc bouncing back immediately.

Mayfield at home in the morning for us. Another tough day in the office for us. Loving being part of this division. Bring it on.

[Clifford]

Beat cobh today one nil .great battling win after the week we had.

Congrats lad. Keep it up. Never found wanting for heart. Hope next week is better.

[Mr.Reliable]

Bullet. Where are the excuses? Midleton did have players away and did have to change formation to accomadate this. The Corinthians game last week was a close contest, Midleton were just edged out. Avondale are a serious side and I was just conveying that in what I wrote. Midleton at full strength, any side at full strenght infact, will find it tough against them. No excuses where made, I pointed out facts. Did I complain about conditions, playing surfaces, the referee, Avondale themselves? No. The better side won = No excuses. I feel I could sit here all day to try and explain this to you but you clearly are a bit special.

P.S. I know someone who can fix full stop buttons at a good rate, yours appears to be broken.

Yours Lovingly,
Mr. Relaiable.

[ringmahon4ever]

Congrats lad. Keep it up. Never found wanting for heart. Hope next week is better.

cheers bud.were having no luck with injuries.absolutly crippled with them.another player off today injured .keep up the good work yereselves

[Nedge]

Any reports on games.?

[Clifford]

Fermoy 0-0 mayfield.

Not a whole lot to report on this one. We had a goal disallowed inside first ten mins. They crashed one off the bar on about 40 mins. Neither keeper tested sec half. Two evenly matched teams battled it out to share the points.

Avondale next week away for us in the cup.

[el nino coro]

hall 1-2 rockmount. some disgraceful tackles in the game. monty taken to hospital with an ankle injury.

[Sparky]

Any news from Monty's injury? I am all for a good challenge but you are right el nino coro, some bad tackles and cheap cowardly ones too.
There is no love lost here between these clubs going back over the last 5 years. Good points for the Mount, Hall look a shadow of themselves.

[The Lawd]

Leeside 3 - Wilton 2 (1 o.g. a piece) and Leeside snatched goal in last minute. Game could have went either way to be fair.
Was at the game thebooboys and from what I seen Leeside looked the better team thought ye definitely deserved the 3 points. Steven Daly in middle for wilton is different class but thought ye handled him well. Seen no Keegan for wilton??

Who got the goals lads?

[striker09]

@clifford ....beech got the winner ....... know more about monty today waiting for swelling to go down if not broken then ligament damage and either way some time out injured

[Chiefscout]

Any news on montys injury yet?.heard tackle was a disgrace.

We played high alright and didn't leave him dictate play as he likes to do. No, Keegan was away I heard.

[wesleyBHFC]

blarney 2-4 Tramore. good win for tramore tonight. 1st division seems to be hotting up nicely.

[roberto1]

cant really see Tramore keeping it going to be honest,im hearing they have a few Cork footballers playing with them

[mary]

Have to disagree with you there if these players are senior gaa players there fitness levels would be to a very high standard they could make alot of difference to a team

[casilles]

Blarney St Ath looking for a friendly next weekend 3/4 Nov. if interested call Eddie on 0863775408

[mary]

Long term listner first time caller i just joined the forum lads ive been following it for years and feel it should be called the midleton leeside forum at the moment I would love to here from all the other clubs in the MSL and get there views on how things are going not just in east cork where have all the punters of old gone please come back.

[toto]

Looking at this coming weekends fixtures there's definitely a few big games in store. Must win games for Mayfield and Midelton at home. Midleton havent won at home in a while and face a Hall side struggling for results as late and following Mayfields poor showing at home in the Intermediate cup they have an uphill task at home against a consistent Rockmount.. Bandon face a tricky tie away to Blarney whilst Wilton try to regather momentum following 2 defeats in a row at home to a Crosshaven side who have underachieved so far this season......

[Goggs]

Cant speak for leeside Mary but Midleton are probably the best supported team in the msl thats why theres more interest in them.

They might have been last season Goggs i heard there was no one there against Blarney which is ironic as Blarney have taken alot of slack the last few seasons for fielding outside players,yet they had all locals and ye had all the outsiders. Wouldnt you say the tables have turned.

[1fortheTeam]

there is no intrest in leeside . but i agree with you about middleton .

[tricksey]

Watched douglas hall game last Sunday against kinsale not a great game in which kinsale when 1 up should have got a second only for a horrendous refereeing descion the ball was 3 yards over the line a Douglas fall player on the post confirmed this to me and Douglas hall go down the pitch 10 seconds later and make it 1-1 while kinsale still complain ! Turned the whole game on its head

[mary]

I havnt seen the Hall yet this season do they still play a nice brand of football

[pacman]

there is no intrest in leeside . but i agree with you about middleton .
seriously, you've done enough damage on the Aul forum no need to start it in here now!

[Clifford]

Welcome Mary, what club you follow then? :p :rolleyes: How are they doing?

No point coming on and looking for others to discuss things without helping us out a little.

As for Fermoy, we're enjoying the step up in level even if the start to the league season has been broken up annoyingly with cups and free weekends. Nearly November and only 3 lg games played isnt ideal. I now know why we were about 2 weeks earlier than the rest back into preseason, but we'll live and learn.

Competitive so far in all our games so that's a plus considering we're favourites to go down in many peoples eyes. We'll enjoy the season and see where it brings us. Delighted to be part of the top league with so many big clubs to learn off. Depth of squad might hinder us winning the thing, but hey ho that's the lot of a country club. Can't beat working with a team full of local lads with one ancient blow in in goal!! ;)

[corkgaffer]

Welcome officially to the forum Mary from the sidelines. Id just like to point out that not all posts on behalf of Leeside seem to come from the club itself or even from representatives of the club. I can put my hand up and say 100% I'm from Leeside but am relatively new to the club having only taken over the senior side at the beginning of this season so I cant be held accountable for any previous transgressions that I don't know about.

Just as Clifford has pointed out for Fermoy and premier league status we at Leeside are slowly getting used to the demands of senior football and all that it entails. We've been fortunate in our cup draws and have had one or two results this season that have turned a few heads but there's still a long way to go and the team has had to learn quickly from the mistakes that were made at the start of the season. We are lucky that unlike the premier and Division 1 there is no relegation. We played Fermoy in preseason and I thought we didn't embarrass ourselves but pay no attention to Cliffords remark about the one ancient blow in in goal. Mick Devine is a super keeper. A real pro who is worth at least 10 points to them a season. His experience is invaluable and his ability to slow the play and take the pressure of his defenders is second to none.There isnt a manager in the league that wouldnt kill to have him between the sticks.


For us its all about learning and we are getting there each match at a time. We play in a great league have availed of wonderful away facilities in every game and have a few great games on the horizon. With all due respect to Castleview we will more than likely meet Avondale at home in the Munster senior league which will be a great occasion for our club to host the best amateur side in the country. The big games keep coming but we look forward to each one.
