FAI Junior Cup 2005/06

Ha...an eye for an eye!

[Unreal Madrid]

Also, any information on Lisselton Rovers who we (Bridge United) play on Sunday.
We are fairly depleted though with injuries for the weekend!

Only heard that a local hotelier is pumping big money into the club and that they are attracting a lot of players that way.

This is true... A lot of clubs in the Kerry area are not too happy with Lisselton as they have approached a lot of the top players envelope in hand if you know what I mean...

Supposed to be a good side this year.

[Prem Rep!]

We'll be without John Fahy, John Downes and Denis Murphy so should be a very big ask for us to get a result.

No, he's not Tommy.

Lets see, Shels to Caherdavin (could not get on there) back to Shels and now to Celtic in 3 years. (pot calling kettle black, at least Abbeyvale moved around prem)

This is the same guy that signed 2 forms at the start of the season with Shels and Celtic and got suspended for 6 weeks (what a t*t). So your experience in the big league is maybe 2 games :o . Have you ever even won a prem game:eek: .

Welcome to foot.ie Cos.

Sorry to let you down but im not cozzie....if you were with shel's last year you'd no me bud.

Got you now, sub to the Oscar Traynor sub. Did not think it was him at the start as he can spell :D

By the way, it was Prospect B apart from when Larry had a claim in.

[tralee_dynamo]

Now what can you tell me about Killarney Celtic. We (Bunratty, Clare) travel to play them on Sunday in the FAI.

Killarney Celtic are one of the top 6 teams in Kerry and are good enough at home!. They are not bad,and they do try to knock the ball about and play decent football. Their right winger (can't remember his name) is a decent player, and so is their centre back (David Hayes),captain of the Kerry U21 team.

However I reckon ye should get a result, Killarney Celtic haven't got it together in competitions outside of Kerry in the last few years!

[tralee_dynamo]

Also, any information on Lisselton Rovers who we (Bridge United) play on Sunday.
We are fairly depleted though with injuries for the weekend!

Besides ourselves, Lisselton were the only team in Kerry last year to win silverware. They have alot of Kerry U21 talent mixed with alot of experienced players. They did get to the last 16 of the FAI two years ago and I reckon they fancy putting a decent run together this year.

They have lost a few players from last years squad (to us mainly) but they have replaced them with some players just as good. Overall they are a very young team.

Are ye at home?,they are not great travellers!

Hibs beat Mervue Utd on penalties in big game of weekend in Galway

[Den Perry]

just joined up hello all! On the subject of Peake Villa, Finnan seems to be taking this all very seriously. In addition, Villa held on to both Derek Loughnane and Ted O'Connor who were both on the verge of leaving prior to the cup win over Michaels. That said, he has a job on his hands as Villa are currently bottom with some togh games ahead. On paper though they are too good to go down but......

[Prem Rep!]

Lisselton 3 Bridge United 0
Fair play to Lisselton, they beat us fair and square although they weren't three goals better than us. They took the lead on 70 mins and against the run of play in what was a tight game up until then. In their keeper they have serious sportsmanship issues. We were slightly disappointed after the game also that Lisselton had nothing organised for us. I know all Clare teams look after any travelling teams who come to Clare. I am sure this is not the case for all Kerry teams but Lisselton let the Kerry league down at the weekend. No hospitality, very little sportsmanship. Additionally I'm sure I spotted an Ex league of Ireland player playing for them and would question whether his registration could possibly have gone through for him to play Junior football.

Having a good team "on paper" means nothing these days, if they don't get their finger out they will be relegated.

[Neutral Jo]

Nobody likes a show off francis, self praise is no praise, and it was a B team aswell? In my day that would not be a good record. Lets get real.

[tralee_dynamo]

Any info in Moher Celtic?...sounds like they are from Clare...

[papa-j]

Any info in Moher Celtic?...sounds like they are from Clare...

From West Clare. They got relegated from the clare premier last year but I feel they were unlucky to go down. If they have their full team GAA players included they will be strong enough. On the other hand if they dont then they could be quite poor. Depends on the day & who shows up for them really. Tell me more about St Brendans.

[allrounder]

Any info on spa road??

[tralee_dynamo]

Tell me more about St Brendans.

St Brendans are known as "the Park" in Kerry and would be our main rivals in the Kerry District League. The are from Tralee and and have a large squad of players to choose from. Besides the players I have mentioned already, they have an excellent winger known as "Wally", who is very quick and scores alot of goals. They also have a very good centre-midfielder (Damien Reid).

They are very good going forward but their weakness would be their defence, their goal keeper isn't great, and their back four wouldn't be world beaters either as they conceed many goals in the Kerry District League alone.

Thats about all I know...its all on the day I suppose!

Played against moher many times in the past. The big factor in this one is whether the tie is home or away. If they are at home it will be a much more difficult affair. Their pitch IS GAA sized. No joke, it is huge. And they are fit.

anyone info on kerry league. is it between st brendans and tralee dymo's anyone got a loaddown on these or is there a dark horse???????

[Thunderblaster]

I'm very impressed with Janesboro's 1-0 win over the former champs. The game against Carew Park will be hugely interesting and I think that the winners of the game could be serious contenders. All the last four from last season are through, I notice also, eventhough both Galway Hibs and Westport United had lucky escapes. Still a lot of football to be played.

[clownboy]

TB...That game finished 2-1 to the Boro....

[l.f.c......]

mark my words lads carew park will beat the boro. carew had alot of big games last season in this comp... and a few in the fai senior playing in front of huge crowds i think that experence will carry them through. iv watched them the last couple of games and there starting to play fantastic football the squad are starting to gel it took a while but its coming together and with the likes of pat mcgarry jason o connor ( top goal scorer in town) johnny corbett (who i think is the best right full in town fantastic player) monty added to an already strong team they will take alot of beaten. IMO

[tralee_dynamo]

I know that only four teams make it through the Limerick section into the open draw but of the four teams, I would have expected the View, Carew Park and Janesboro to make it to the open draw!

Alot of the top Limerick teams have been drawn against each other at the early stages of the competition this year!

Also, with the likes of Fairviewand St Michaels out this year, it is wide open again! - I would still put my money on Clonmel Town, and the champs Westport will not be far off either!

[tipp man]

Dont rule out Carrick United

[Neutral Jo]

I would fancy Westport, Carrick and one of the Limerick teams to get to the business end of the competition this year. The other team could be anyone, no mention of the Dub teams? Are Portmarnock still in?

[tralee_dynamo]

I forgot about Carrick United... a class side,they will definitely take some beating also!

Dynamos are definatley the stronger tralee team.


Yep Dynamos definetly stronger. Spa Road are from Tralee - will probably go out in the next round unless they face very poor competition

whats the run down on dynamos??? will they go far this year who trains.

[Canine]

Dynamos are very strong this year on paper. I haven't seen them play yet though so whether it will take time for them to gel or not I don't know. They have an excellent defense and have signed the Kerry U21 keeper who is a great addition to the team. They have also signed James Sugrue (former Limerick) who poses a huge threat on the wing.
It will be hard to judge them based on the Kerry league (although I'm looking forward to seeing them play St. Brendan's Park in a cup competition as I don't think Dynamos will give the Park the respect they deserve...) as they are in the easier of the two groups so won't face any major competition. The real test for them is when they go outside Kerry.

[tralee_dynamo]

There is no way Dynamos will go into the Park game without showing them respect. Park are a good side and have lots of very good young players coming through, mixed with some very experienced players also.

We have been waiting to draw the Park in competitions for more than two seasons now, so it should be a cracker of a game.

[texas ranger]

Lads nobody mentioning the Dublin teams, Killester, Portmarnock and Ballymun all still in the comp. I know Killester have added players to there squad this year and have got stronger. Very unlucky last year against Westport in a game they should have won easy. Porto and mun are strong as well and neither side will pushovers for any of the country teams

No offence man but you hardly expect us to talk about teams we know nothing about. We all know 'of' the good Dublin teams, but we hear nothing from up in the pale cos' no one posts on the thread. Maybe you can start it off Mr. Ranger sir (i feel like Yogi).

I am a Westport fan and I know how lucky we were last year, but as they say, the luck was with us on the day of the QFinal. The rest of the tournament was down to.... class! (Please Limerick lads, don't bother jumping at this, it's only a laugh).

Keep posting and letting us know what's happening up there. Things can get a bit lopsided on this thread.
