And rightly so. Massive game on Sat and here's hoping it all works out for the best up there. Are the lads goin up on Fri?
Wonder will the game v Crumlin be on tv then as well? That would be ace.
Douglas Hall away tonight for injury ravaged Rockmount!! Last game in hand I believe. Where do you get the table from? I can't find it anywhere.

Rockmount played 15....32 pts.
Avondale played 15.......30 pts.
Rockmount will still have one game in hand after tonight, so One point behind with a game in hand should suit ye fine wha!!

I meant a double header for me obviously, Setanta would hardly risk the gear out in Crumlin.
Injury ravaged ???, I wouldn't mind its only Charlton - Middlesboro tonight.:D
Blarneys website is always good for an updated league table.

Naw, Eindhoven v Feyenoord tonight, sussing out next season's CL opposition. :D
Rockmount have beaten Douglas Hall 3-0 in a really tough game tonight. We missed a peno and scored 3 very very lucky goals before half time and hung on for the second half. Don't know how Mount are anywhere in the league really, still between View and in form Dale for me.....Terry White 2 and Pat Keane with the goals.
Ringmahon at home next Weds night.

Avondale now 5 points off the pace. It'll be a very tough ask now for them to win the league, probably have to beat both View & Mount to have any chance now. Rockmount seem to have the luck on their side, despite the crippling hurdles that stand in their way every day. I don't know how they do it. 2 horse race.

Yeah, Dale at home in all the important games, all theirs to lose. View well rested so ball must be in their court also, Mount well out of it now. Two horse race indeed...
Think Billy called it a few weeks ago that the matches between all three will settle it, hope Rockmount can field a team those nights what with injuries etc...just as well there are no games this weekend in the lg, I'd nearly have got a game!! :D :D

As always, I hear he's paying for linesmen this weekend or something. Are those rumours true Billy?
Big week for Mount, a pile up of games again this season. Ringmahon Weds night, Castleview on Sunday and Avondale next Thursday night in Cup final. Roll on a break!

I don't know of one, but if you need to know about any club we'll try to get you the fixtures, they come out on the Echo on a Monday night generally.
Any club in particular you need info on?
Edit: Welcome to the site by the way, the more the merrier on this thread. I get's fed up listening to Razor and Billy's Boots. ;) :D (I'm sure they are sick of me also!!)

True, MSL are not the most organised of organisations!! Full fixture list tonight: Carrig v Castleview, Avondale v Coll Cor, Rockmount v R/Mahon, etc. What fixture are you interested in?

Not sure if Avondale are tomorrow or tonight, but what harm.
Rockmount beat Ringmahon 3-2 in a squeeky bum type game. Went one up through Oldham, they equalised 2 into sec half - a cracker by their number 10. Mount again went ahead with a generous peno, Clifford scored it. Ringmahon then scored with 15 left, another cracker by the 10. Within a minute though Alan O Connor converted a scrappy goal to seal it for Mount.
Phew, nerves abound with the time of year. I hear Castleview strolled to an easy 2-1 win with the last kick of the game.....any truth in that Billy?

Suits me fine, would have struggled for the Thursday fixture. Sun morn matches are more fun, lot's of hangovers. Who scored for Dale last night?
A draw on Sunday, a draw between Dale v View and a draw between Mount and Dale would do fine thanks for offering.
Probably go away for the bank holiday so will miss that one.
Dunno who scored, Dale scored early on and weathered a fairly large Cors storm until they wrapped things up in stoppage time at the end.

Beautiful morning, beautiful day.
Just back from Rockmount park. Rockmount v Castleview was a cracker. View started brightly with the wind and had three or four set pieces which were very dangerous and might have got something from them. They didn't and with literally their first attack after twenty mins Rockmount scored through a Pat Oldham finish from a knock down from a corner. After that it was nip and tuck til half time, with Mount defending stoutly when necessary into a strong wind.
Second half was only 2 mins old when Ross O Callaghan scored for Mount with an awesome scissors kick. 2-0 and Mount looked in good nick, despite the wind dropping substantially. View tried to get back into it, but Mount started to play the ball on the deck and View had no answer. A great move down the right saw Ken Howey levelled in the box, Clifford cool as you like buried the spotter. Mount played the last 20 mins in glourious style, a one two between Oldham and O Connor sent the defender clean through and his finish was deadly for 4-0. Last few mins saw Johnny Busteed lift a fantastic ball to the far post for Pat Keane to knock in number 5 with his head.
Hard game to pick a man of the match from, but Alan O Connor was probably the stand out player by a short hair from 6 or 7 other Mount players, IMHO.
All in all a super day, a super match and maybe, just maybe Rockmount are back in the hunt!! :D :D
Very surprised yesterday when I got the text. Great result for Mount.
Rockmount can only throw it away from here.
In Dublin on Sat for Crumlin Utd 0-0 Avondale Utd.
Dale were missing Spratty, Hargy & Haulie so a draw wasn't a bad result.
Crumlin were no great shakes to be fair and a full strength Dale should dispatch them the weekend after next.

Can't say much really, the scoreline says it all. Fair play to Rockmount, very well played. Castleview were very disappointing....

Good Avondale result Razor, sounds promising for the replay. Will the cup final still go ahead next week - you say the replay is Sun week, so I imagine it's all systems go?
Billy, how's Sheaser? Looked like he pulled a hamstring or something. Shame as I liked him an awful lot as a player at Mount.

Nothing serious, just a strain. Always struggles with his hamstring, should be fine though....

Rockmount beat Corinthians tonight 1-0 in the O Connell cup. Never really under threat.
Casement beat Avondale reserves 1-0 last night, think it was the Beamish Cup. Too many cups too little time for Dale at this stage of the season.

Agreed - the Keane cup should be done and dusted before Chrimbo as it is a pre season tourny in essence. Dale got to prioritise and the two FAI cups plus the league chase should be plenty. I know which 2 cups I'd prefer to be in.
When will Dale have a league game again?

JUNIOR being the operative word my good man/woman/child. The thread here, in the main, is occupied by followers of Senior teams at the moment, but your more than welcome to shout about it on here cos it is great to see your success and the more success for Cork the better. (It's Claire by the way, they prefer to be women with an e down there :D )
I think there was a bit of Rockmount involvement in this thing all right, but I've not met Jamsie in a while so don't know how strong/weak the MSL side were.
Best of luck in the final, who's it against?

Keane Cup Final, Turners Cross.
Rockmount 2-0 Avondale
A cool overcast morning in TC brought together two fine sides in fine form. Rockmount went on to win the game this time, but on another day Dale might have been able to reverse the scoreline. Mark Clifford with a stunning goal and Pat Keane with a tidy finish after the Dale keeper woefully fumbled a good shot from Gearoid. Mount played the better football on the day, missed a spotter as well (actually well saved by the keeper), but had Dale not had a goal disallowed with 20 left who knows what would have happened. I think the lino got it wrong, but he would have had a better view of it than me.
All in all a good day for me, hope the Dale left back is ok for the big one on 14th May. Himself and Knowlsy won't have to face a roasting like Ken Howey gave them today for a long while.
Very hard again to pick a man of the match, but Howey prob shaded it from Mark Clifford for me.
Was away so missed the game. By all accounts Mount totally deserved the win and Avondale were just not at the races. Rockmount seem to be hitting peak performance at exactly the right time.
Interesting to see Ken O'Connor in the Echo give Cotter MOTM, he hasn't been a regular at all this season and I know hes a favourite of Cliffords.;)
Sprattys back isn't right and as this was not the most important of finals then he wasn't risked. Without him Avondale are not the same team going forward.
2 goals at important times, the 2nd an absolute killer just after HT, Pat was in a good position to finish the rebound.
Rockmount are now red hot favourites for the League, despite what Clifford might say. Dale playing UCC this midweek to try and catch up on the fixture backlog. No goal in 3 games does not bode well and an improvement is needed especially in advance of the Intermediate Cup Final.

Cotter was deffo the best Dale player on the day - he pulled the strings well, got his usual yellow and tried to cope with Mark Clifford and Pat Keane as best he could. Marky Sull was unusually poor, must be catching up on him all the games recently. How yer man in de echo didn't think it was Howey for MotM though I'll never know. He was awesome all game long in all fairness.
Spratty is a huge loss to any team and as you say he's rightly being cotton wooled for the big final. UCC shold be easily beaten to put the Dale back into the driving seat in the title chase.....:p

Jaysus I don't know how you go about it. A phone call to the MSL big wigs would not be a bad call. It's not as easy as just joining however, I think the AUL might be the best route to travel and then look at the options from there. That's only my opinion, lots of long established clubs up there at the moment so yee might not be able to skip the queue.
Yee beat the junior section of the MSL, by the way. The senior players go further afield for their beatings as a league, they don't include enough Rockmount players apparently!!!! ;)

Dale should come through this one ok and put some pressure on Rockmount!! UCC are always bad this time of the year with exams and what have you. Let's not give the League to Rockmount on a plate like Castleview did last week.

There was a piece in the Echo last week with Dale, Mount & View and all their remaining fixtures. Think I threw it out though.
