I agree that it is kilmallocks however you cannot go on the caherdavin game, caherdavin have drawn 2games all season and lost the rest, everyone is expected to beat caherdavin. it will be a test for kilmallock like it will for the other top 3 or 4 when they play each other. very interesting to see what fixtures are up today.

i know it makes no difference to the table but we won 4-1 as i said in an earier post :confused:

Balla v Dromore fixed for this Sunday. Don't know any other fixtures yet.

Looks like dromore will be playing balla at the right time as balla haven't kicked a ball in 3months and a win for dromore would put a big dent in balla's challenge for the league so i would say it's nearly a must win for balla

[Bruffer]

It will be a big game for Dramore coming off a poor performance against Pike on Sunday apparently alot of the dramore players brought there autograph books and choked in the first half .It's almost impossible to know what form Balla are in although i'm sure they have been training hard with there A team.Only pride at stake with Bruff and Cappamore but I think Bruff will take advantage of playing at home and should take the points.

That's probably the kindest description of the first half performance I've heard. Funniest aswell though. :(

[L37Ultra]

No they didnt. Why would they bring their autograph books when playing Pike?:confused::o

Sunday 9/03/08
Bruff vrs Cappamore
Shannon Town vrs Geraldines

[Sir Jose]

Sunday 9/03/08

Bruff vrs Cappamore (1-1)
Shannon Town vrs Geraldines (2-0)
Dromore vrs Ballynanty (0-0)
Pike vrs Mungret (1-1)

Any predictions for these games??
I think Mungret have alot of premier quality
players in their side-especially the wingers
and could put out a decent performance,
I for one hope they cause an upset
but think they should be looking to concentrate
more on the league 1st of all an possibly the
league cup too.

Promotion and a cup is highly likely if they keep
performing like they have been in recent weeks...

It will be interesting to see how mungret get on aganist agood premier side like pike the last thing they need is bad hammering(which i think is highly unlikely given that their playing so well)as this could knock their confidence for 6 and effect their morale coming to the business end of the league as for results in the league matches a go for bruff and shannon town to win and in the dromore balla match i'd say dromore as balla will be badly effected by lack of match practice so by the sunday evening it could be a 3 horse race for the league!!

well pike had declan casey playing against dromore there short 4or 5 injured includes enright,mc,carry finucane+wall as far as i know wont be back so mungret have a good chance

Kilmallock & Mungret are streets ahead of any of the other teams in this division and are definites to go up. Dromore, Balla, Herbertstown, Shannon, Bruff etc toss of a coin between them.

if balla do lose sunday there by no means out of the race.. have another look at the table!

[big mac]

well pike had declan casey playing against dromore there short 4or 5 injured includes enright,mc,carry finucane+wall as far as i know wont be back so mungret have a good chance

word on the sreet is that there is going to be a burning of an effigy with A Mungret jersey on it with judas enright no 2 on the back of it.its going ahead outside the ho at 9.30....all are welcome

[razbar]

if balla do lose sunday there by no means out of the race.. have another look at the table!

agree with that allab but just reckon that their remaining matches then become must win and it would be a tough ask for them to go and win their last 9 on the trot..

[mulla]

haven't trained with the a team once this season,however we are trainin hard and regularly have about 15 up training even though you would expect lads to be loosing interest,but as i said before training is no substitute for games

Your right, training is no substitute for games, and it will be interesteing to see if ye can keep your numbers up if ye start to lose one or two games.

Why didn't ye arrange a few friendlies over the last couple of months, when ye had no games??

[Dallas]

only way for it:ball:

[allab]

Wins for Bruff, Balla and Mungret, draw for Shannon/Geladines

i reckon pike will still have too much for mungret.. ill go with a 3-0 win(at least). bruff to win, balla to draw and shannon to draw

I agree, pike will destroy mungret on sunday. even though pike have injuries, they will beat mungret by at least 3 goals. Just because mungret have won a few games in 1a they think they can challenge the likes of pike, what a joke!!
mungret players will have to come down off their high horse, there are about 4 or 5 teams in 1A that can get promoted. mungret could very well be in 1A next year!

Firstly we knocked balla out of last years lawson. We also put up a good display against fairview at the start of the season! How can you say that we are on high horses?? All players in mungret know well that we might pay for our poor start to the season but we have taken a very professional approach to the league and treated every game as a cup final. We have not got cockey in any sense. We know we still have a big mountain to climb in the league and every player is committed to doing that task. Pike may or may not be too strong for us on sunday but there will be eleven men ready to fight on sunday and another bunch of subs who will be dying to get a game on sunday!

Most of the people on here that are predicting Mungret to cause an upset are not connected to the club at all. Because of these posters that have nothing to do with the club you are assuming that the players are on "high horses". I can assure you nothing could be further from the truth. Pike may well destroy us like you are predicting and if they do the best of luck to them. In my own opinion we are a long way off their standard.

firstly mungret played balla the day after paddys day last year, all the balla players were out on the lash and fairview had a comfortable 2-0 win against mungret earlier in the season.
mungret have a good team but are not up to pikes standard.

I have heard and know a few players on the Mungret team that are on the 1A Thread and they seem to be saying how good they are. Yes in 1A, i must admit that Mungret have come alive since before x-mas, winning the last 8 games, and fair play to them. some of the players though shouldn't get carried away with themselves! pike i believe will be too strong.

Those players you're talking about are probably the same fellas that underperformed 2 seasons ago when we got relegated from the Premier League. ;)

[Dallas]

They might not be up to pikes standards but I can tell you one thing pike wont have it all their own way thats for sure. Fair enough they probably win out at the end of the day but there will be two teams willing to play football. I predict a good game with no more than two goals separating the teams.:ball:

It will be a good measuring stick for ye anyway regardless of the result to see where abouts ye are "IF" ye are to get promoted

[Dallas]

Thats for sure, it'll be a good measure for us.

had one friendly in all that time against our c team,it wasn't for the want of trying to get one but it seems there is a lot of hassle going through the ldmc and that to get a fixture and also alot of tems when they have a free weeknd aren't too bothered about playing friendlies

Did the Dines game go ahead?

[Lev Yashin]

shannon town v geraldines was called off....we were there they were there but ref called it off and in all honesty it was the right decision...there was alot of surface water on the pitch

[razbar]

just after hearing that mungret took a fair hammering yesterday aganist pike 7-0 wonder what affect this is going to have on them for the run in??

[Dallas]

It was a fair hammering alrite I'll admit but the story could have been different if we converted some of our pressure in the first half. We hit the crossbar and had two cleared off the line and the goals we gave away were sloppy (losing our men at set-pieces; simple stuff really), not taking away from pike they were good. In the second half alot of our players went hiding and didnt want to know about it, and from there we just basically rolled over.:( You know its not your day when you save a penalty and the rebound goes in. But fair play to pike best of luck to them in the rest of it.

Yes a hammering mungret got, 2 nil down within the first 10 minutes, it seemed that mungret gave pike too much respect and were very naive at the beginning of the game. after the second goal mungret came back into the game, pike had to clear the ball off their line and a header off the crossbar from a corner saved pike, pike had 3 chances in the first half, scored twice, mungret had 2 chances, didn't score, that was the difference. pike scored twice early into the second half, that was game over.
it will be interesting to see what happens mungret after this. talking with one of their players, they are only interested in the league and will probably continue their wining streak in 1A.
