Cork AUL 2024/25

[Ballwasthere]

They weren’t losing them by 7 goals though

[Harsh ref]

Cathedral could be gone shortly I’d say

[Play it out]

Who....are you really that thick

Draw been out ages, no AUL side, you'd think you'd know with Daniels managing your side

[Who?]

Play it ..relax your always like a house wife on this ..our should we call ya a wag alot off alweathers wa t be booked for the next fews weeks lads our no games be played

[Broadway Joe]

They weren’t losing them by 7 goals though

They lost 6-1 last week and 2 of their managers who are easily mid 40s on bench today...fair play for the win but wouldn't get too carried away.

[goal-achio]

Fair play to the lads for keeping the club going.
They might have to go down again to find their level but that’s what happens around the north side. Too many teams very little loyalty.

[Bowser]

I’d know the lads involved well enough, didn’t see the game today but from what I’m told 4/5 missing or injured, the fellas involved won’t let the club fold

[Play it out]

Who....I doubt you know what a house wife is like...You don't even know about your own sacred team. By God, that Premier A is terrible.

[legend23]

Derek danials is doing the Oscar traynor this year for aul I heard

100% derek daniels is not doing the Oscar traynor team. There is not even a team.after been entered anyway which is ridiculous would I be correct in saying the last time there was a cork Oscar traynor squad was 2012

[Ballwasthere]

Were everyone that attended AGM not told the AUL won’t pay to enter a team?

[Jason Bourne]

Just goes to show , they have some bit of a brain

[Jason Bourne]

Can't be given all the Auls money to the MSL and expect to pay for an AUL team now can they, have to have priorities ffs.

What's more important lads , an astro ya won't be allowed use or an Aul Representative team.

Cop on.

[Who?]

Who....I doubt you know what a house wife is like...You don't even know about your own sacred team. By God, that Premier A is terrible.

It has always been terrible..could ya ever paly it out dho is the question lol

[Average Baller]

Went down to watch that game below in the Fairfield yesterday morning, Cathedral were well in the game for half an hour until they went 2-0 down and were then more content with arguing amongst themselves rather than trying to get back in the game. Los Zarcos in fairness to them are a good young team working their way up the leagues and play a lovely brand of football.

[Rossum]

Quiet last few days, good games on at the weekend what are the predictions

[Harsh ref]

Welcome back Rossum I be honest I was staying quite cause when I speak I feel like yer all picking on me I’ll be heading to Grattan park tomorrow wife and kids going shopping I have afternoon to Myself can’t see nothing else but win for homeside Desmond’ and buddies still playing hurling so can’t see them starting.

[Cityboy66]

Hill have Grattan today and UCC next week if I’m not mistaken, imagine their league hopes could be over by then and back to maybe a 2 horse race between the usuals again. They’ll be haunted if they get their hurlers back for the Mossie annd AOH fixtures. Interested to see how some of our Aul teams fair out in the FAI Cup. Hopefully a few teams can move out of the Cork section and represent the AUL. Village and Carrigaline has making of a good game village at home and will have some momentum from winning previous games.

[Crouch_Potato]

Watched the village game today, they looked very good against a very good Carrigaline side. Dominated the game for nearly the entire 90. They look alot better shape then they did at the start of the season. Be interesting to see how progress from here in the cups. I'd say the league will be a grattan coachford 2 horse race though.

[Ballwasthere]

Villages start definitely put them out of the race early, they could still be a good way off the lads for all we know but they have looked more than convincing against the MJL premier sides, entire starting 11 and subs looked like they were a level above carrigaline while ago

[Jason Bourne]

The slides were priceless.
Dunlea runs a great show in fairness.
Ya have to make the best out of what ya have an he dose that in spades.
And you can only beat in any game what's in front of you with what you have.
Well done Village.

Did that same carrigaline side not hammer grattan in the last round?

[Jason Bourne]

I think your right Balls .

[Ballwasthere]

Just don’t understand why we aren’t happy an AUL side is representing the league well

[Cityboy66]

Just don’t understand why we aren’t happy an AUL side is representing the league well

Totally agree. If Aul teams were being battered then fellas b givin out too there’s no winning here. Great win for Village. Hibs also beat UCC on penos so another good result.

[Rossum]

Nothing about grattan absolutely slaughtering watergrasshill so, marky cans and Johnny head returning… they might be old but they can still dictate and finish a game between them

[Harsh ref]

Ah come off the stage Rossum ye got the job done credit where it’s due but Blackstone rovers would of bate that Watergrasshill line up ye played well at times but I wouldn’t be writing home about it.

[Jason Bourne]

Rossum , ur worse to even react.
Grattan got the job done end of

[Harsh ref]

Gavin Paul jason what ever your name is relax boy just about opinions I said they got job done you can only beat what’s in front of you but watching that watergrasshill team yesterday any decent team in Premier would of beat um but they got points that’s the main thing.

[Ballwasthere]

John Paul even at his age is a nightmare striker for anyone to play against, very crafty intelligent player

[Crouch_Potato]

There's a few lads at grattan that prove the old saying form is temporary but class is permanent. They beat watergrasshill hill well and the fact they put GAA above football is watergrasshill hills issue and nobody else's. Big win for the gratts regardless.

[Jason Bourne]

Like iv always said Ref, you make us all giggle.

[fruice]

€1 million secured for two Astros up in Castleview.


A huge boost for both The AUL and Castleview.


You would hope all things going well they will be in action for this time next year.

Absolutely brilliant for Castleview. The AUL will be gone within 3 years and Castleview will have 2 gorgeous Astros. Nice memorial to the AUL.

[Harsh ref]

True story FOMC so I’ll have to get on to clubs and call a meeting I know Martin and Paul reads everything here so I’ll need questioned answered when Aul goes belly up who owns them pitches then and another thing will castleview be charging teams to use um

[Rossum]

Id imagine they would, charging cheaper than mayfield and others would generate money to pay the bills

[Harsh ref]

But differences Rossum is when teams pay mayfield and others that’s their choice to go to All weathers not to lose home advantage now you’ll have Aul sending teams up their to play and crippling them with price Castleview be charging ffs you can’t even go up there and watch a 3rd division game and they have bucket on the gate haha

They would prob have a price cap for aul teams so games don’t get called off

[Harsh ref]

Make sure you sort that when your at the meeting buddy

[Jason Bourne]

Munster region draw:

Oscar Traynor Trophy Group A
Limerick Desmond League
Clare District League
Kerry District League
Limerick District league

Oscar Traynor Trophy Group B
Munster Senior League
Cork Business League
Waterford & District Junior League

Best decision the Aul has made was to not put a team in.

[Ballwasthere]

Had they been in the second group they would have went through, battered in the second round however

[Harsh ref]

Many moons ago when I was involved with the Oscar with Aul every player on panel was a very good footballers in his own right the squad was very strong looking at leagues now I can honestly say you’d struggle to find 20 very good players

[The Goldfish]

I don't agree with you very often but ill have to agree with you on this point, the standard and quality of player's isn't the best I'd say you will be lucky to pick 10 player's out and after that you are really scraping the barrel

[Play it out]

Sure with that mentality what is the point in teams entering anything?

Grattan and Coachford won't get near FAI or MJC, should they not enter?

Springfield battered every week, should they stop?

Chance to compete with other Cork leagues and other opposition should have been taken. Only one team can win anything.

There is potential in AUL to have had a good squad this year to compete for popints v CBL & MSL and take on the challenge of Waterford. Get out of group then would have kept attention and feel good factor going.

[Harsh ref]

Goodman fish play teams in cork enter them competitions to get a day out not in tensions of winning um the point I’m making is to enter Oscar the manager of team should at least have 20 plus strong players in squad lookin across the Aul you might get 4/5 from coachford 1 from Grattan Bulman personally for me and Iv being here a long long time you’d struggle after that it’s only my opinion the rest of players or bang average

[latte2012]

The standard of football has changed at every level not just AUL. Some fellas playing senior these days that wouldn’t have got a look in at junior a few years ago. Young fellas not playing football on the streets anymore with their pals. It’s only worse it’s gonna get. Fellas will be fitter and stronger maybe but actual ballers will be a dying breed.

[Harsh ref]

True story latte kids playing football on the streets gone out the window all stuck to bedrooms now playing x-box and dressing up as girls doing Tik-Toks

Completely agree with you here, I've been saying for years that the standards of each league are dropping off so far;

LOI is at the standard Senior League was 20 years ago.
Senior League is at the standard the AUL was 20 years ago.
AUL is at the standard the business league was 5 years ago.
The business league is the equivalent of the old night owls leagues. Well run with some fantastic players along with some awful players.

It's crazy considering the FAI put "new pathways" in place to ensure the survival of grassroots football. But young fellas these days care more about the gym and social media than playing ball. When I was young many moons ago I had a football in my hand from morning to night during the summer. Now you can walk past the Fairfield, Pophams, The Glen Park, Kilmore Road on a fine Summers Day and there's not a group of lads playing ball anywhere. It's sad to see such a decline in street football. The best players in the world developed on the streets.

You hit the nail on the head right there . Its hard enough for clubs to get a team out training twice a week theses days without throwing in extra training for the AUL team . I dont think the interest is there from players to play in it so for once I am going to agree with the AUL on not entering a team in the Oscar Traynor

Some great points to be fair.
The only bit I would disagree with is comparing the standard of the aul now to the business league 5years ago.
Definitely well run but bar 1 very good team in the cow the business league was rubbish then and its even worse now.

[Who?]

Is this all said because the cork aul failed to even try out a Oscar traynor team...my opinion off course there's a good enough team out off castleview grattan coachford..Knocka village and there's surly few more teams like watergrasshill the like Desmond ffs there's..no harm in trying and having some interest cork aul that's y it's gone to the dogs because it's thrown to the dogs the last few years ...there surely interest when the like luke casey comes back and playing in aul is he not good enough for Oscar traynor lads it utter laziness is what it is
