Heard ard na laoi have folded too. Sad to see them go they're around a long time

[fruice]

Jeez that would be sad to see Ard Na Laoi go a traditional club they kept things going along time.

[Gunnerozil81]

They were only advertising for a new manager 4 days ago

[Play it out]

Knocka contacting all the usual "big hitters" in the Northside

[AULboy]

Anyone know is there any truth in a few of the coachford players following there manager and leaving Coachford behind?

Where did the manager go out of interest.?

[AULboy]

Talk up around my way is hes after getting involved with Macroom Seniors. Don’t know how true any of it is tho

[Play it out]

That would be the end of this era of invincibility surely. Opportunity for some team.

[fruice]

With all these suggested moves going on who will emerge from the pack in Premier.

With Coahford maybe in transition and Knocka Celtic returning will they take from the likes of Grattan our Glenthorn.

Could Corkbeg or Springfield step up or maybe one of the new comers Grangevale or UCC.

[Play it out]

From what I'm told Coachford will be still a force to be reckoned next season and will have pretty much the same squad.

From what I'm told Coachford will be still a force to be reckoned next season and will have pretty much the same squad. I’m hearing watergrasshill are team of the year ..congratulations to them but some call they didn’t win their league but won 2cups you would think a league was a requirement for that also 1cup was a reward for not being good enough to win a higher ranking cup .

[Play it out]

Coachford were best team, deserved to get it.

Premier & AOH double.
Mossie Finalists.
Out of Cork.

[SteveSilvermint]

Premier & AOH double.
Mossie Finalists.
Out of Cork. totally agree with you ..must win your league imo be it premier or premier A or div 1 ..coachford deserve the accolades winning a treble isn’t easy .

[fruice]

I suppose the fact Watergrasshill are new winner helps and they had a brilliant season.

I think Coachford won it last season which came against them and their carry on in the Mossy final wouldn’t have helped also

[Jason Bourne]

Ya know what Mr Musrard, u are right.
Last season was a disaster planning wise,,,,,hard to say anyteam was given a fair go,,,,,,the Aul will choose who they want either way
ant and most of us won't care

Springfield were looking good towards the end of last season see if they can build on that.

Corkbeg under new management who are looking to distance themsleves from the GAA crowd.

A lot of the GAA lads left them down last year once the GAA season picked up. They might struggle for numbers


Have knocka been assigned a division yet or made any signings ?

From what I hear knocka will be division 1 along with watergrasshill but I don’t know if that’s hearsay

Apparently it’s mostly the same squad as when they finished up with 1 or 2 exceptions who either finished up or are plying senior

[Gunnerozil81]

Seems to be no response what way the divisions are going to be spread out or even how many teams will register

[fruice]

No response from who?

[Gunnerozil81]

Apparently the league

[fruice]

To be fair the league is fairly consistent you normally only see the divisions appear around the 1st of August.

So I don’t see anything unusual in this.

They obviously need to see what teams are returning and also incorporate new teams.

The no relegation should make things easier for them

[Dr. football]

Any results from pre season games? I know you can’t look too much into them but might give you a little indication of who’s strong!

[fruice]

Hearing Castlebridge who failed to get out of the blocks on Day 1 last year and Harp Celtic joining Division 3

Are Harp Celtic swapping over from Business league or will they have a team in both ?

[Play it out]

Knocka beat Blackstone. Any known players?

I think they didn’t have a team in the Shipping League last season.

[Ballwasthere]

Grangevale beat Andy Sulls who done the double in the shipping league last year, play some lovely football and have a couple very good young players 9-1, unreal result and a good sign for them going into the premier this year

[AULboy]

Nocka Celtic played Blackstone the other night, Nocka looked rusty but I suppose any team would be after coming back after such a long break. Any other friendly results

[Play it out]

Will Knocka be competing for the AOH again? Be a good contest for them up against Watergrasshill in Div 1 competitions.

[Hacker]

Springfield 8 - Corkbeg 2

[Ballwasthere]

Glenthorn 4-5 Everton

[Ballwasthere]

Village beaten 1-0 by Jaybazz in the shipping league, could be another long year for them

[Jason Bourne]

Watched the game today Village v J Bazz.
Village had great numbers , lots of life left in them.
Loads of young lads as well.

J Bazz didn't have that strength in depth.
Will reserve judgment on them as it was just a pre season game In July.

No real stand out players for either side , just a good blow out in a pre season game .

Great crowd though an even if its a hill , the pitch looked really well.

How can you say that based on a 1-0 loss in pre season?

[fruice]

Any whispers on the divisions?

Should be out this week if they are going to start games the week of August 14th that’s just 2 weeks away

[Ballwasthere]

Just my own judgment, they haven’t strengthened, it’s the same core as the last few years where they have struggled only yet another year older. Any team in the AUL premier should be beating business league teams apart from maybe doolans, a few years back village were beating doolans convincingly every time they played.

There’s about 6 junior teams in mayfield at the minute so I think they’re going to feel that competition when it comes to getting young fellas to come up and sign

[Jason Bourne]

Mayfield ,,,,,there's an inigma.

Imagine if they got there ****e organised. AUL,MSL or Buissness League they would clean the slate.

Few MSL premier teams sniffing around Watergrashill CF and CB.

Be interesting to see if they can keep their team together

[Ballwasthere]

Coachford looked to have a very changed 11 last night, a sign of a big change up or just the usual pre season thinkering?

[Who?]

Knocknaheeny Celtic played Glenthorn tonight. I heard Glenthorn barely got touch the ball. There are two divisions below them and Watergrass Hill won't stand a chance for what I have seen tonight, stupid putting them in league 1. Few new lads, young lads, with what they have, it will be interesting to see what happens

[fruice]

Ya a few different faces are they their own or a few imported in I think I saw the keeper with Shandon previously.

No sign of the leagues yet unusually late I wonder what the reason is?

[Play it out]

Will they have most lads back in Coachford team soon?

Knock beat Glenthorn 2 nil

[Who?]

Knocknaheeny Celtic will take all from what I heard the played some football against Glenthorn.

[Who?]

Yes, but Coachford are on top for years so great for Watergrasshill fear play to them

[Who?]

Think if Grattan had few fresh legs, they would have beat them with the lads they had. They are way passed there heyday and sad to say, Knocknaheeny not in same league because the definitely put it up to Coachford from what I have seen against Glenthorn.

[Who?]

Will they have most lads back in Coachford team soon?

Knock beat Glenthorn 2 nil

Yes, Pa Long back playing, great player, should be with better side ..Knocka looked better than what they were before and hate to say it, but if the keep what the have and have yet to get fit, so nice see what happens by Xmas, will they be gone?

[Healthybowl]

Preseason result
Waterloo 0 - 4 Boher Celtic
