Munster Senior League

[Sparky]

UCC 0-1 Avondale. UCC unlucky not to get anything out of it. Dale defended most of second half but UCC lacking up front. Should be a cracker next week with they host Mayfield. Dale any chance of catching Douglas Hall?

[Clifford]

Ringmahon 1-2 fermoy.

Back in the ball game with a hard earned and deserved win today. Went in one down with dubious pen 2/3 from half time after even 1st half. Even Steven for first 15 min second half, then we scored an absolute screamer from 35 yards that flew in over the helpless keeper. Only one winner from here on with the wind behind us. Scored second with 12 left, great bit of inter play down our left was finished cheekily from 3 yards.

Great heart in our team to keep this battle alive. Still alive with three left. Couldn't have asked for any more from them.

I am yet to hear how we played today but a good win all the same away to UCC. Who look in serious trouble now. I cant see anyone pipping Douglas Hall to the league. There name has been on it all season.

I went to the Ringmahon and Fermoy game instead today. I must say Clifford I thought ye were by far the better team in the second half and deserved the 3 points. That has put you right back in it. Any other results today?

[Clifford]

Mallow beat casement 1-0 and college beat cobh 3-0.

Gonna go all the way to the wire now indeed. Feels great to get back on the winning trail indeed.

Def deserved it Balfc indeed. amazing the diff having a fullish panel to work off makes. Windy ould place Ringmahon park.

[BalagueFC]

Every year Mallow grind out results like that when it really matters. It is too close to call. Corinthians have to play catch up but any 2 out of the 4 can go up now. Must be great to be involved in it.

[wesleyBHFC]

UCC are in a serious battle for relegation after there defeat today!! so much for their collingwood success!!! Mallow's Victory today really spices things up at the bottom of the First division.. First division really spicing up with Fermoy's Victory today!! Really looking forward to the run in!!!

sorry 4 postin twice but would just like to ask all the rest of the people who post on this site to have some patentice on the issue of the aul missing money ... although this issue is very serious i believe that it is wrong to comment b4 any real evidence is provided ... from the echo piece it seems that some blame is put on a recently deceased treaurer, a man who i knew personally so please dont judge cos this man was a very honest man who has a gr8 reutation and deserves the upmost respect... on a more positive note i would lik to commend the AUL on there running of the day to day organisation of the league.. for a much larger number of team and divisions they seem to be able to provide a much better website than the msl and are able to communicate fixtures b4 the msl can provide them ... some very good people involved in the AUL that help to run an organisation which is very well run

Wes agree with what you're saying, don't jump to conclusions. This man was well respected by everyone. The only points that can be made are the facts that were given out at the AUL meeting on Thurs night. The one worrying fact from that meeting was that the financial reports for the last 8 or 9 years were signed off as audited by the regular auditor for the AUL. With the passing of the Treasurer the new Treasurer went to this auditor with the 2010 accounts only to find he hadn't audited AUL accounts for years, eventhough his name was on all the AUL AGM financial reports. Very worrying times ahead for the AUL.

I know the new treasurer personally. A very thorough guy. I also knew the deceased member. A top man. My advice at this stage guys is to back off until all is sorted. A terrible time for all INTERESTED in Cork football.

Fair enough assessment of the game. Sending off kick started blarney into gear. Played well with 10men. Once Saints scored it knocked the stuffing out of blarney. Deflection on the shot pushed it away from the keeper though. I agree that both teams will defintly stay up! Blarney showed some great fighting spirit. Saints continue there push upwards. Both teams should finish 5th and 6th respectively.

I was at the game friday night,scrappy enough marys left winger done all the damage i dont know what his name is Looney i think savage player,he could have had three,great player i think he is young aswell,Between ourselves and mayfield now for the drop

[ball-hop]

Douglas Hall 3 Tramore 2.
Mark Murphy scored two, one from a penalty. Derek Varian got one between Mark's two goals. 3-2 at half time and the second half was nothing to write about at all. 3 points, move on!

We should see in the next week how good their bottle is. Away to Avondale Thursday in the cup and home to Blarney Sunday in the league.

I still think they will win the league but a loss against Blarney will put them under massive pressure

[Sparky]

I wouldnt write off the Premier League going right down to the wire either, with Avondale and Rockmount back to winning ways!

[douglas local]

seems like afew players went to members of the committee after the marys match because of the managements behaviour at half time when they were behind to st. marys

1-1 college and view this morning in Div one. Tight physical game. Not a lot between the sides. Both in action again Sat.

[Gobias]

UCC 1-1 Mayfield

[Sparky]

UCC down now I think! Mixed season with winning collingwood.

[Goggs]

Looks like the team is losing its bottle again and the new management are powerless to do anything about it and are getting frustrated,if hall dont win it this season they never will.

[villaman10]

ucc down now I think! Mixed season with winning collingwood.[/QUOTE]

barring a minor miracle, shame as they always try to play football! wonder if they do go will the management stick around next season??

if douglas do bottle it ( can't see that happening) caufield for douglas manager next year??
that way he can bring in as many outside players as he wants!!

[villaman10]

marys picked up another point today, some turn around!! bet they wished we played summer football!:-)

[the hawk]

douglas local i dont know where you hear your rumours but you are sadly mistaken .As for the hall bottling it went to see them this morning and played the dale off the park and thats with 10 men for arounfd 60 mins .,

[Reznik]

Does anyone know who the leading goal scorer in the Premier division is?

[ringmahon4ever]

beat ucc in the cup today one nil. :) :)

Castle view 2-2 Fermoy

We lead after 5 mins from a corner. Horrible evening up there weather wise. They played conditions better and led 2-1 with 15 left. Both from corners. We levelled it up and both sides had some decent chances in the last 10. In stoppage time we had two 1 on 1's saved.

All to play for still.

Fair enough game Cliff. Could have gone either way. Weather was brutal. Very frustrating for us as we can raise our game for the top teams but play very poor against the bottom teams. Team though is work in progress.

Agreed could have gone either way. I admire the way Patsy and the lads have ye set up. No one hides, everyone is there to play the system and enjoy the game. Set pieces are brill and obv well worked on in pre season. Won't be long before ye are back in the top flight if one or two more can come through. Had a good chat with Patsy after the game. Best of luck from here on in.

Couple of twists and turns to go yet I hope.

[villaman10]

douglas lose again

[greengrass]

saw the 2nd half of the douglas and blarney game
blarney stole it at the death and completely against the run of play
great win for blarney
makes the league very interesting

Douglas had a penalty saved after 10 minutes. Even first half with not that many chances for either team. Douglas pushing for a goal with a few minutes left let a 2 on 2 situation at the back and were punished.

Any results from the other games this morning?

[villaman10]

heard midleton escaped with 3 points from tramore, by all accounts tramore played very well but had to make 3 subs before half time including their keeper, they had no sub keeper so there centre half had to go in goals!! midleton only scored their second goal with 3 minutes to go!! finished 2- 0

[Sparky]

D.Hall 0-1 Blarney. Everton 2-2 St. Marys. Mayfield 0-0 Rockmount.

[collcorforever]

Mallow 2 Corinthians 3, good win for us down in Mallow. 2 up at half time but mallow never gave up and could have levelled the game late on. take the 3 points down in Mallow any day.

[ball-hop]

Today's results see everyone in contention slipping a bit. We played pretty well, had plenty of the ball but just couldn't penetrate the Blarney defence. Their 'keeper stopped a Mark Murphy penalty in the first half, and they scored on a breakaway when we were pushing on. Rockmount and Everton results still leave us in the driving seat - need to get back to the convincing form of earlier this season, although the last couple of matches had plenty of encouraging signs.

[douglas local]

got this so called rumour from a player also did kevin mul leave before the match ended today because he was taken off also quite possible they will still win the league

Douglas Hall 0-1 Blarney Utd

Even enough in the early exchanges with douglas looking to establish there passing game. Given penalty after 15mins even though the foul may have been commited outside the box. Justice served when donncha saved from Mark Murphy although tore his shoulder muscle when saving and had to be subbed. First half came and went with both sides struggling to create much but Ken Coleman came close from a volley with a minute left in the half. Second half saw douglas pressure grow and pinning blarney back but showed very little end product. Douglas threatened from corners in the last 10 but it was blarney who stole it with a superb solo goal by Coleman with 88 on the clock. Went passed Wilkie at the centre circle and ran towards goal with support to the left, He went alone and powered a shot from edge of the box into the bottom right corner. Blarney saw the game out and claimed a massive win to open the title race wide open. On a bit of a sour note, Some douglas players refused to shake hands after the game even though it wasnt at all a dirty match. Understandably they were disappointed but sportsmanship goes a long way. Elsewhere though Everton and Rockmount fail to capitilise on a hall slip-up. Does anyone want the senior league???

[mayfield utd]

mayfield 0 mount 0 1st half had little chances but i think our lads were slightly the better team,2nd half started the same way till the last 20 minutes and mount took over and put our lads under loads of pressure,having a good few half chances but alberto in goal was brilliant he made a brilliant save with his right foot when going to his left and made an even better save from ross's penalty.i think over the 90 minutes a draw was a fair result

[justasupporter]

Everton 2 St Marys 2 , even enough first half but Everton went 1 up just before half time , long ball not dealt properly by Saints defence , second half was a good half with Marys getting 2 goals inside the first 10 minutes & playing some terrific football , everton equalized with 10 to go, then came the controversy , last minute of the game Coker crosses for John Paul O'Sullivan to finish only to see the the goal disallowed by the Linesman , terrible decision as the player looked well onside , free kick taken & game ended, Saints more than unhappy with the decision . Tightest league in years by the look of things , lots of teams within a point or 2 of each other.

Was the lino john linehane by any chance because he was on one of the lines,if so every team cant be wrong about him and the league should do something about it,a very very bad official

Good summary Reznik. Was at the game and fully agree with above.Blarney were superb in defense and midfield and in fact Blarney probably had the better chances in the first half.
Douglas really did threaten with some superb deliveries from corners but overall disappointed with their attacking ideas.
Left once the whistle went but I have to agree that it was a really competitive game but nothing dirty or no ill feeling between any players.It was more ill feeling toward the linesmen on both flanks that I could see.
I could get shot down here but aren't Douglas known for this kinda of stuff.I've seen it before where they storm off without shaking hands.
All doesn't look too healthy up in Douglas.Players don't look to be playing for the manager and that may cost them.

Very good summary RESNIK.. i was at the game myself!!! very good game to watch.. although Douglas hall played better football, they certainly showed signs of a team of individuals. Players trying to do it all themselves when other players were in better positions. Blarney had great team spirit even under great pressure.Worked as a unit throughout the whole game and deserved to get something out of the game!!!! great game. i would not be surprised if Blarney get a Result against Rockmount friday night!!!!

[el nino coro]

it was indeed !!

Id have put money on it being him alright

[Clifford]

Looks like College won tonight vs ballinhassig. Big win. Last chance saloon for us on Sat against them away and still need other results to go our way.

Bring it on.

[ringmahon4ever]

was out at the game.they got a scrappy goal to win it with 2 mins left..ballinhassig scored in after 5 mins to lead and re took the lead 5 mins into second half..poor enough game.pich was shocking.no lines on it.ref done all he could to give game to coriantins but of course i would say that ha ha.every 50 50 ball he gave free to them.interesting game now this weekend for both teams.dunno who to support though :)

Lowest of the low if you ask me, the likes of Tramore have not got much to celebrate this year but you dont hear of them not shaking hands after a game. Maybe Douglas are getting what they deserve at the moment! To be fair though I would imagine it is the MINORITY of Hall players not shaking hands with their opponents. This weekend will tell alot in the title race.
