Cork AUL 2024/25

[forward152]

Presumably the league have the dates booked long in advance. They've done well to get to both finals. They've had a reasonably good 2nd half to the season but they are paying the price now

[Average Baller]

Well done Banteer, treble winners. Great season.

[Harsh ref]

It’s a disgrace Hacker two finals in two days not one but fair Aul should hang their heads in shame total disadvantage to mogeely one should of been moved and that bunch in Aul couldn’t care less that Conlon needs to take good look at himself he has all the power and the rest like lap dogs behind him agreeing with everything he does and say it’s a one man show

[latte2012]

Yes a bit unfair considering there playing against opposition from higher leagues.

Plenty of youth in that side so they might be ok

I’d say it’s very unfair. 2 games in 2 days is tough for any team never mind 2 finals on a big pitch.

[AverageJoesGym]

Well done to Banteer great season for them. Fair play to Mogeely playing two finals in two days, really unfair but they got on with it and got a cup under their belt. Lads I was told both finals out the cross in recent days cost €8 to get in? That is some crazy price.

Grattan will lick their wounds and bounce back again.. a mediocre season they’ll be the first ones to admit it… also I was told to pass on this information regarding quads etc… castleview in the won 5 trophies in one season the league, aoh cup , presidents cup, Munster junior cup , shield… also beaten in the fai junior cup final.. but lads it was great arguing for the season hopefully on the new thread it can just be about football and not false rumors… lordan is signed on for grattan along with 5 new signings including one from the MSL

Grattan will always be back but they will be no match for Coachford. Coachford have the legs/youth and fitness, not to mention some classy players and big pitches even suits them more. Grattan need legs and youth coming through, let's hope they get that so the league is more competitive next season. Village will struggle without Jamie Murphy goals. Donoughmore and Castleview will need to add aswell. Knocka will be a great addition will be hard to beat at home but can't see anyone matching Coachford a machine that keeps on rolling.

[Ballwasthere]

Is that it for the season then lads?

[Hacker]

Anything on the rumour mill lads to keep us ticking over during the off season ?

[Ballwasthere]

I mean there’s the obvious one of Doolans going back so village will find it hard to replace those lads if they go back, can see castleview starting a rebuild as well if what I heard was true about several heading for the exit door
There’ll be rumours about the coachford lads going to rockmount like there is every summer

[fruice]

Any new teams

[Ballwasthere]

I’m hearing we’ll lose the watergrasshill premier team?

[fruice]

Big loss good side but with them being senior in hurling will put them under huge pressure

[Waterloo]

Any new teams

No change to summer football

No change to summer football

Just to confirm what you are saying there will not be a move to summer football?

Where is this coming from?

[forward152]

It seems likely it will be next year.

CBL have on their facebook page that next season is a half season in preparation for the full season to commence Feb 2026

[Harsh ref]

Well my opinion might not mean much to Kevin but I am hearing Grattan have lost 2/3 to Knocka looks like Knocka being back premier is giving them a pull again but also hearing a certain premier team in talk with Derek taking them over watch this space that would be lost to Knocka also heard coachford and manager 100% staying put so tough season again for rest of premier be interesting to see who village can hold onto we really need premier to be more competitive next season

[Waterloo]

Aul AGM Wednesday night. Full season as usual.

[forward152]

The feeling at the AUL meeting Wednesday was that calendar season will happen next year with a short season to bridge the gap

Wouldn’t hold out hope for village, they’ve been absolutely gutted with cow coming back, not only losing their own players but players that were due to sign for them this summer going to cow instead, Dunlea has his work cut out for him this year, wouldn’t be surprised if they finish 6th or 7th if they start next season with the current squad

Who was meant to sign for Village this summer but went to Doolans Cow? I agree they have bein gutted with the four Cow lads heading back big big losses for them especially Jamie. Village will struggle big time now, any talk or any new signings for them? Knocka could be Coachford main contenders next season by all the talk.

AUL as usual will be last to follow everyone else. Can see them having a short season, similar to be CBL at the end of 25/26 season. Summer football is coming in 2028 whether we like it or not

[forward152]

AUL will vote on it next June. At least they are voting. CBL teams got no choice. Limerick leagues have also not implemented it yet.

[CBL20]

The CBL voted on it and it was 90% yes 10% no

[Harsh ref]

Summer football can drive on I pay enough for me rent for me mobile in youghal I want to get me moneys worth cop on pepper boy

[CBL20]

Some figures below following the league meetings held across the country during April & early May;

32% of leagues already playing a calendar season

27% have agreed to transition (Phased Approach between 2026 & 2028)

16% are undecided but have agreed to continue consulting with FAI & clubs

25% currently informing the FAI they won’t transition to a calendar season

12 of those 17 leagues wouldn’t meet the FAI to hear what an aligned registration period means!

FAI are trying to bully this through and it’s scandalous withheld funding for Kennedy Cup & Gaynor teams.

Threatening to withdraw safeguarding, Vetting, referees and potential support required for sport capital funding unless they agree to the calendar season they should be ashamed of their carry on.

The leagues should be allowed to choose their own calendar.

This years under 12s should be the first to move across as part of the FAI’ proposed new
Pathway the cork school boys league will continue as normal and run the under 12s in the traditional system ignoring the new pathway.


Their members do not want it.

[forward152]

No point having a vote if its going to happen anyway. If the majority voted against it it's still going to go ahead.

[Ballwasthere]

It’s going to happen regardless, lads can change or stop playing, it’s unfortunate but it is what it is

[Ballwasthere]

Anybody know who the superstar signing Leonard dunlea is teasing is on his Snapchat?

How will they struggle. They got to AOH final 2 years ago without the shipping league players . 3 brilliant youngfellas are after signing and a keeper . No fair of village with 30 years why will that start struggling now

Christ buster it that’s true then best of luck to them

[Average Baller]

Heard of one new team and one new B team so far, any more comings and goings?

[Harsh ref]

Having night out tonight up in glen gaa irish night out hearing Knocka manager gone to Grattan and castleview going to be all the rage next year 4 seniors dropping down going to stop coachford train

Shipping league players as if they were nobodys, the 3 Doolans Cow shipping league players were their 3 best players along with Zack at times. Kicked Village up a level. Jamie shipping league has a intermediate and LOI winners medal.
Who are the 3 brilliant players and keeper they signed?
Yes they got to a final which was lucky to be only 4-0 anybody with a brain watching it would tell you that. They will struggle for goals, the season you mentioned they only won 6 games from a possible 16, Only scoring 25 goals in the league . Jamie got 23 league goals himself last season cop on a small bit and he missed 4 league games. They will struggle for goals this season it's plain as day for all to see, goals win games end of discussion. As for the other shipping league players they might not be as good as Jamie or upto your standards but some very good players which they will miss. Village will always be Village they will give you a great game at home but for me as a nortside supporter they will go backwards from this season but time will tell.

[AverageJoesGym]

Dean o connoll

They signed John Corcoran the whole city is talking about it. Great player and goal scorer if he keeps his head down. I'm sure the AUL committee are delighted to have him back

[Ballwasthere]

He’ll get them goals, can also see the referees hating village even more now

[AverageJoesGym]

He will always get goals if he gets the service.. Jamie will get you goals from nothing. Mad they were on the same schoolboys team and cobh ramblers 17s. Pitt Village dont have them together now If he keeps the mouth shut he will be a great signing.

Jamie an excellent player . Aaron also very good . They will be a miss . Your on about Zack at times ? He is villages player of the year and players player of the year . Why would them lads want to play in the shipping league again ? I don’t het it . No bottle clearly . Intermediate cup winner . Do some reacher again on that one .

Jamie is a classy player. Aaron Hennessy very good. Keegan good player. Murphy good Goalkeeper. Zack is very good player, he got tired last few weeks of the sesason to be fair he does some amount running. Sent off twice in games I seen also can loose the head. As for player of the year thats down to management i would of given it to Jamie for the season he had
I dont get going back either to the business league either suppose to play with your buddies? Poor league they will walk it again. I dont get what you mean by do some reacher again on that one?

There was an original player of the year trophy engraved that wasn’t given out because it looks bad giving an award to a player that’s leaving. They were cow players that gave a good year to Village, always training, always available to play, never injured and you’re on here having a dig. If the cow weren’t back they’d still be at Village now, so no need for the bitterness. If Glen Celtic were back we all know who Pa would be playing for. They’re his team and these lads are the same

So Zack was not meant to get player of the year? Original trophy engraved but got another made it presume? Jayus lads. Have to agree with you on that Pa would head back to the Glen Celtic there his club . Yeah they're Doolans Cow players shame they have gone back poor league poor opposition for them. They all played really well in the AUL to be fair so credit there. Not sure if Aulbuster is saying Jamie didn't win the intermediate cup but just to be sure I doubled checked on Avondales twitter account I can see he scored in the quarter final the year they won it in 2018.

I think he scored in the semi final as well. He didn’t play in the final so thats why another dig is being had against a man that got 40 odd goals this season.

Didn't play in the final at the Aviva is a right downer after scoring in the previous rounds. And now player of the year taken off him too because he's leaving, not sure what i would do in that situation. The best player that season is the best player whether he is leaving or not he probably should get the award. No bottle dig at him is laughable for all he has achieved in football

Sorry meant research. . Look there all good players. It won’t break village tho . The player voted for Zach to so you can say they both deserve it

You clearly have no idea what you’re on about . On about players training all the time and players would not be with village had other clubs being there . Pa was up In Glenthorn and glen still had a team . I’d say if Jamie trained for village 5 times it’s a lot . And I’m not knocking any of theses player they’re all very good . Jamie will score 100 goals next year in that bad league . Village will push on again some nice young players gone in there and a center half from Mary’s seniors .

[AULBUSTER]

He’ll get them goals, can also see the referees hating village even more now

It can’t get any worse 😂

Not sure if Jamie trained or not but you seem to know. Was it down to work or couldnt be bothered? Did the other doolans cow lads train? Short season for the business league Jamie will probably only get 30 goals lol. Poor league tho you are right, I dont see the catch playing in that league but each to their own. Can you give us any info on the young players gone in there? Youth is good to go woth the experience they already have. Centre half from Mary's sounds like a good signing if true. Village will be fine like i said in a previous post they always will be fine i dont think they will come second again tho but time will tell.
