Rockmount 2-0 Avondale
Comfortable win for Rockmount tonight at home to a strong Avondale side. The first half was a toe to toe slog, but two second half goals clinched this one, funnily enough the first Mount goal came when Dale were on top for a period at the start of the second. A beautiful free kick by Willie Byrne was whipped in to the back post where the ubiquitous Stevie Yelverton popped up to head in. Too much huff and puff from Dale all told, they never troubled Slatts other than a tame Cotter free in the first half and a gilt edged chance with 2 mins left at the end. The imperious Weldon, Byrne and O Mahony triumvirate at the back saw off the galant efforts of a comitted front two for Dale. Mount were in control on the flanks with the fit again Busteed (well for about 75 mins anyway old man!!) in fine form on the right. Gearoid on the left had a difficult opponant in Tynan, but dealt well with everything superbly and even found time to get up to score the second with a vicious swerving effort nine minutes from time that deceived the luckless Dave in goals for the Dale. The aforementioned keeper had made 2/3 top class saves in the game and owes his side nothing at the end of this one. The midfield battle was dour and not a place for the faint hearted, honours even there I'd reckon. Alan O Connor and Steph Hurley ensured that the Dale backs will wake up in the morning knowing they were in a game.
All in all another superb display by the defending champions in their bid to retain the title.
Didn't make it out after all Cliffy, work commitments prevented me.
Thats the title in the bag now surely.
Hopefully Dale can get all the bad displays out of the way before May 13th.

Just as well I didn't approach the lad behind the goal on his own then, I was convinced it was your self. Reputation would have been ruined.

Was he upsetting the Rockmount Fogies behind the goal?

Oh no, we argue no decision, we accept our fate every time. I pity the poor linesman on the Dale side though, we really should be allowed send Billy to all the other clubs to educate them in the art of diplomacy and gentile response to decisions against us. Like Rafa he doesn't need to shout and rant, Jonny C take note....now where is that tongue in cheek icon.

Morning,
Castleview 0-4 Rockmount
If anyone wonders where Man united's recent good attacking form went to on Sat, it was poached by the Rockmount managment and installed into their line up for the game away to Castleview. Pat Keane, the prolific Darren Doyle, Johnny Busteed with a sitter and Alan O Connor all scored, most of them goal of the season contenders. Castleview were very galant and put it up to Mount in the first half an hour, once the first went in the title chasers settled to the task better and proceeded to rip the View to shreds.
Unlucky on the View to be on the end of this performance, but it was coming for a while.
Just seen the fixtures and Rockmount have five games in the next 12 days, fingers crossed all the players stay fit and hang on to their title.

With City having 2 away games it'll be nice to get to Turners Cross on Thursday night for the Donie Forde Cup Final.
Although with Dales current form Tramore could spring a surprise.

Blarney away on Thurs and UCC at home on the Sat. Strongest 11 all the way from here on in. 7 points needed, not going to let up until they are in the bag. Some very tough away outings left in that lot of fixtures.
Forde final will be interesting, form book going out the window and all that. Although I imagine Dale players will be playing for places in the real cup final so it should be comfortable.
What's the fall out from Galway this weekend?

Rockmount 3-0 College Corinthians
The Rockmount lads continued their relentless assault on the MSL tonight with another clean sheet, another 3 goals and another step on the road to retaining their title. Beech got the scoring under way with a good header, Ross copied Alan O Connors spectacular overhead kick at the weekend with his own version of Jackie Chan in full flight and our new diminutive striker put the seal on things with a cracking finish after a knock down from Pat Keane. All in all a good night's work, Mayfield next up in the whirlwind of matches...where will it all end???

We'll go to the park and play picnic games and listen to Sully tell us how things were in the old days, we'll sit silently as Billy serenades us with songs from the musical Miss Saigon and we'll enjoy once again the committees version of Nesun Dorma, John Delea has an amazing baritone if you haven't heard....:D

Avondale Utd 0-1 Tramore Athletic
One of those nights really, Caulfield didn't play his full team but saying that those that were out should have been well capable of beating a young Tramore team.
Tramore created 1 or 2 chances but once they got their goal from the penalty spot just before half time then it was a back 7 and hold on after that.
Apart from the keeper every single Tramore player went down with cramp in the 2nd half, they did lose 2 strikers through genuine injuries but fair play to the ref he added in the region of 8/9 minutes stoppage time at the end. Dale hit the post late on but I reckon if they were still there they wouldn't have scored.Their inability to score goals is becoming a real problem.
A nice going away present for Tramore, well done.

Yeah it was a good win for us. Pity about the season. If a couple of results had gone our way who Knows.
No point in thinking about that now, hopefully the players will stick around and try and get us back up in next year.
Good game. Avondale really did struggle up top. The goal was well taken and i'm happy for the lads. Its tough when the managers are changing ever couple of weeks and players leaving and go aboard. Young team though we'll have to see.

It's gonna be tight right to the wire, away to Everton and Blarney this week. I know we won it at Dale last season, but same type thing this season might not work out. I'm sure we'll be ready for anything, but the fat lady is indeed clearing the throat and starting to tune up for the last song.
Well done View, owe you some beers Billys Boots....that'll get him on here I bet!!

Everton 2-6 Rockmount
On a balmy night, with the planes flying by like the Red arrows hailing the Champions, Rockmount AFC retained the Munster Senior League Premier Division title. Going through the season undefeated is a massive achievement for all involved and long may they enjoy the celebrations that begun after the full time whistle inside the changing rooms of their closest rivals.
A goal apiece in a whirlwind start saw Alan O Connor's stunning goal cancelled out by a penalty for Everton, ruining Mount's six game run without letting in a goal. The champions were not to be denied winning the title on the home soil of the only team that could catch them. Within 6 minutes they were back in front from a Willie Byrne corner that was headed into the top corner by Ross O Callaghan. This feat by the majestic O Callaghan was to be repeated an astonishing 3 more times during the course of the game by him alone, allowing him to walk off the pitch with 4 goals, another league medal and the match ball in his back pocket. His aerial prowess has been something to behold for a long time, but this evening he gave an exhibition that Niall Quinn would be proud of in his prime. Two more corners in the first half led to goals, one for O Calllaghan and one for Willie Byrne both from Alan O Connor deliveries, to send Mount in at half time in an astonishing, but much deserved lead. Everton for all their pre game confidence didn't know what hit them.
The second half was more of the same, as O Callaghan and Byrne twice combined to ensure the Everton keepers back would be in bits tomorrow morning. From the 5th goal onwards the Rockmount 11 dished out a lesson in free flowing possession football. Without doubt the Whitechurch men held out til their hour of need to produce their finest football. At the end, Evertons cracking consolation volley didn't matter in the slightest as the boys in yellow and green went marching in.
Every player on the night played his part in the dismantling of Everton, but obviously the man of the match would be heading through the air in the direction of Ross O Callaghan, this supporter has no doubt it too would be dispatched into the top corner of the net with aplomb.
As league campaigns go it doesn't get any better, well done lads, let's do it all again next year. Enjoy the weekend.
Championeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss, championeeeeeeeeeeesssss are we are we are we........

Blarney United 0-0 Rockmount
Stunning evening in Blarney, complimented by a stunning playing surface, complimented by a decent game of football. That's about the size of tonights match. Rockmount enjoyed the evening without every getting out of 3rd gear, Blarney played the better football for most of the second half, but came up against a brick wall in the Rockmount back 5 (even without the vetern Busteed!!). Formidable defending from Weldon, Byrne and Oldham as well as wing backs Yelvy and Gearoid made it very difficult for an industrious Blarney to make any inroads. The first half was even, with a melee in the Blarney six yard box after a goalkeeping fumble being the only action of real note.
The second half saw the Rockmount keeper bring off a quiet extraordinary save from a close range header after about 5 minutes. The ball was whipped in at pace from the right and the Blarney player got a touch on it that must have had him thinking "We've finally got through the mighty defence of Rockmount." "Not likely" says Slatts, who got down superbly to his right to get just enough on the ball to tip it around the post. The clean sheet count is mounting and it's great credit to the goalkeeping staff at the club that another season has passed with so many clean sheets, one more will do nicely. Well done both Derek's indeed.
A free kick hammered off the bar by Blarney's number 5 was about the highlight of the remaining 40 minutes. Rockmount probed, but at leisure. Blarney pressed, but with no penetration. All in all a nice evening, a competitive game and the Champions have one game to survive in order to end the season unbeaten.

Great finish to the season even if 3 relegation spots in an 11 team league is a little harsh. I tipped Carrigaline to go down earlier but its very tight now. If Rockmount try to stay unbeaten then they'll beat UCC. Mayfield and Carrigaline to 'Germany - Austria 1990' a draw to keep them both up and relegate UCC???
Or UCC to draw, Mayfield and Carrigaline to draw and Castleview and Doulas Hall to lose thus setting up a 5 way relegation playoff finishing in October. HAHA!!!
