Yes. That is correct. It seems that the Carrigaline equaliser on Wed night was very late. 'Hall form in recent league matches hasn't been up to the standard set earlier in the season. Rockmount, particularly, and Avondale are setting the bar higher in the league and the last 5 or 6 matches will be very interesting

Next games probably in June so won't affect the run in too much for both teams.

Difficult to see Passage gaining points, likewise Castleview, Everton should have enough about them to see off Carrigaline. That would see Passage gone on 16 points, with Castleview safe on 17, Everton safe on 19

Mount beat Salthill Devon in the senior FAI cup today. Comfortable 1-0 win with Mick Deasy bagging the goal. Avondale lost at home to Drogehda Town, what happened the great cup team Caulfield had going????

Comftorably? They had about three shots in the whole game. Salthill totally dominated the second half while the first half was quite even. I presume you werent at the game. If you were you'd want to get your eyes checked son. On another day Salthill could have won by two or three goals. Comftorable my balls.

Wasn't at it, but the report from the game I got was it was comfortable, keeper never really tested. (Some on here will say that's biased as ususal!!) Mount, without 6 regulars, never needed to get going really. It's what we do, ask anyone on here, we score and then defend it - generally very well. Even with our second string. Unbeaten in two and a half seasons in the league, mostly 1-0 wins. 1 goal in 3 shots ain't a bad ratio dude, compared to 0 goals in however many shots Salthill had.

Fair enough if you thought they were battered, it's all in the eye of the beholder or in the words of someone more intellectual than me:

"could have won it is fcuk all good" ;)

Rockmount beat Fermoy 1-0, a Willie Byrne goal won it for Mount, who in typical fashion got the goal and invited Fermoy to get one as well, but they never looked like it despite having more of the ball. Sound familiar?

With regard to Sunday, too close to call. Too excellent sides come face to face again and I pray we win it, but this is the toughest one we've had in ages. An all Cork final would be superb.

Good one to win considering how many were out. Depth of squad is the key. We'll need it more than ever in the upcoming weeks. If we win again on Sunday it could be June before we finish up for the season.

'Hall beat Leeds 2-1 in extra time in the Beamish Cup last night. Late winner.
Avondale are racking the points up in the league, convincing win by all accounts against College last night.

'Hall now have a chance to get level with Rockmount in the league, with R'mount otherwise engaged at the weekend.

Clifford - all the best in the replay on Sunday - Wayside seem to have hit a rich vein of form, very emphatic win over Swilly last Sunday. Can we expect a 1-0 Rockmount win and performance?

the students could be in trouble if they dont get a result against hall on saturday,all the best to the rockmount lads on sunday hopefully they can get through what should be a very tough tie

Clifford

25/04/2008, 12:21 PM

The usual Allstar, got the goal and invited Fermoy to get one back, they couldn't. Not overly worried as it was hard to get up for the game with Sunday looming overhead. Fear of injury etc..

Cheers lads for the wishes on Sunday, Mount will be giving it everything as usual. The outcome of 1-0 would certainly do me fine altogether. Very tough encounter, but if the lads are all up for it we might be able to get to the final.
Fingers crossed.

League table is hotting up now and of course the games will plie up something rotten for us in the next few weeks. It could be June before we finish our season. Crikey.

25/04/2008, 1:15 PM

College on 17 points with 2 games to go should be ok - I expect 'Hall to have too much for them Saturday - the 'Hall record against College is very decent in recent years but they will be favourites to turn over Carrigaline which would make them safe.

Passage look in most danger - Rockmount and the 'Hall are their remaining games and they don't have points on the board.

26/04/2008, 4:06 PM

'Hall comfortable 4-1 winners against College. Albert Clarke, Deccie O'Connell, Brian Wilkinson in the first half. College got a spotter, before Gerard O'Donovan put the cap on the win with a last minute goal.

A number of 'Hall regulars missing, but convincing win recorded.

This league is going to the wire... 'Hall hanging in there, and with both Avondale and Rockmount at home, we'll at least have an influence on the destination. As we've seen through the season, there are no gimmes so it'll go all the way and we still have a squeak.

It has been a terrific league this season - teams in contention all over the place which makes for more excitement and more meaningful matches.

Back to the marathon tonight Clifford - we're in Cobh tomorrow night - how do you expect to go tonight?

Looking forward to it, Castleview are always difficult and it's all to play for. Depends who shows up for Mount tonight with regard to work etc..

Interesting to see how the lads will perform after Sunday's epic battle. Hoepfully they will be on the crest of a wave from here til the season end.

Anyone hear the result between Fermoy and St Mary's in the pop kelleher cup? I think Fermoy won it 2-1 surprisingly enough, although they were decent against us last week.

Clifford

30/04/2008, 10:36 PM

Rockmount 3-0 Castleview

Easy win tonight for Rockmount. Willie Byrne and Beech with 2 were the goalscorers. Nothing at all to report other than it was comfortable. If only they were all like this one.

The marathon moves over to Passage on Saturday now for the defending champs. Fingers crossed they all stay fit and healthy from here on in. Good to see Stevie Yelverton set up the second and get minutes on the pitch under his belt. Savage player to be getting back to fitness at this point of the season.

Everton beat Carrigaline 1-0 to move them to a far safer position. Passage on 16 points with Rockmount and the 'Hall to play look treacherous, while College should do enough to survive against Carrigaline.

Who have Castleview left?

Had a quick look at the MSL Site, which hasn't been updated with this week's results yet.
Top seems a straight race between Rockmount and Avondale - if Rockmount beat Passage tomorrow, they'll go level with Avondale with a game in hand - right Cliff?
Dale have Mount, Castleview and Hall;
Mount have Dale, Blarney, Passage and Hall.
Sure to go to the wire!!

Bottom is as clear as mud, though Everton did themselves a big service last night.

Everton 17 played, 19 points - Rockmount away
UCC 17 played, 17 points - Carrigaline
Castleview 17 played, 17 points - Avondale at home
Passage 16 played, 16 points - - Rockmount home, 'Hall away
Carrigaline 17 - 11 points - UCC

Hmmmm.....

Passage 0-2 Rockmount

Another game, another win for Rockmount in the league. A difficult enough task was made a lot easier by two first half goals in the space of 3 minutes. First Jammer smashed a Micky Deasy cross into the top corner and then Willie Byrne curled in a beauty with his left peg to seal the win.

Passage tried hard to get back into it, but bar hitting the crossbar once through the impressive number 9 they never made Slatts break sweat.

Special mention today to Johnny Busteed who I don't think lost a ball all day long or a header. Incredible performance, for one so old. Only jesting Johnny.

Sweet - all four Senior League teams at home with City and Ramblers away.

Everton v. Carrick
'Mount v. Bray
Marys v. Wayside
'Hall v. Drogheda Utd

Great that none have to travel - hope that the fixtures are such that those who wish can go to as many of the matches as possible

I'd go to all four of them if it is possible. Great draw for the MSL and nice acknowledgement of Rockmount on the rte draw live on MNS. Happy days.

Back to a mountain of fixtures now with 4 in the next week starting Thursday. Bring it on I say. We could still be playing in July at this rate.

Finished 3-1 to Dale

City fielded a complete 2nd team, I presume ye hardly had a full side out either what with the celebrtions and all.

It wasn't full strength, but wasn't totally reserve either. Bossed the game to be fair, McNulty made a save or two and as I said above Kelly made sure the deadlock wasn't broken.

Not sure how well some of the players were to be fair, but gave it a good rattle.
