agree,kilmallock are definitly strong favourites for the league but if they do hit a blip there are teams capable of catching them.
Looks like balla won't be playing for another 3 weeks fromt it says on the premier thread.
Their a team has munster junior and fai in the next two weekends,that means they will probably be around 3 months without a game.
I would fancy them to fall away over that and the fact that the teams artound them are still winning

Don't know about that mulla...Balla have a pretty good couch behind them and a pretty good bunch of lads who are training 2 times a week...I know they may not have had many games but the interest is still there..A lot will be said after they get there 1st game played and we'll see what the result will be!!!

obviously they can't be ruled out as they do have a strong side and are training hard but as you know yourself there is a big difference between training and actual match practice and the fact is whoever they play next will have a few games under there belts whereas it will be like starting the season again for balla

[CCCeltic]

Well they didnt start the league too bad last summer! Most teams have only 1 possible 2 games played in the last 10 weeks. All be a bit rusty I think.

Mungret 4 - 1 Hill Celtic

good win yesterday for mungret, i wrote them off against charleville but they hammered them and a good result yesterday against hill. Player manager vinnie naughton is working wonders with mungret who had an awlful start to the season. Dromore had a great win against shannon as well. its all up for grabs! H'town and Hill are now out of the race, its between kilmallock, mungret, Dromore and Balla.

ya good wins for mungret and dromore,dromore i think are doin very well,had an ok start then fell away a bit but are flying it now again,points dropped for kilmallock was a bit of a shock,still well in contention but not clear favourites for the league any more

Kilmallock definite to go up. Can't see a whole lot between Balla, Dromore and Mungret the end of the season, toss of a coin.

[Dallas]

good win for mungret agianst hill celtic, altough the keeper did gift mungret 3 goals, well two at least! Hill looked dangerous on the break and especially in the 2nd half when mungret let them into the game although it was won at halftime anyway.:ball:

I don't think mungret are certs to go up, they still have to play balla, dromore and killmallock, they will need all 9points out of those 3games in order to get promoted!! its all well and good beating charleville and caherdavin who are at the bottom of the league, mungrets real test will come against balla, dromore and kilmallock!

[mulla]

Mungret's last 7 games are:

Home: Kilmallock, Dromore, Bruff.

Away: Balla, Shannon, Cappamore, Geraldines.

3 out of 4 of your last away games are on pitches that are crap,Balla(batemen) and shannon and cappamore's pitches are as bad as batemen,they'll be tough tests for ye so fair play if ye get results there

[Dallas]

Those away games will all be tough, there will be nothing easy given away with shannon and gers battling to stay up and balla going for promotion.
The home games will also be tough each team are hard to beat on their day, just a matter of who scores first.:ball:


Mungret's last 7 games are:

Only 3 Fixtures for this week. They are:

Mungret V Bruff
Dromore V Hill Celtic
Herbertstown V Geraldines

[Balla]

out of the top four teams when they play who is at home to whom??

Think this our run-in for the season,not certain

Home: Mungret, Dromore, Kilmallock, Cappamore, Geraldines, Bruff, Shannon Town

Away: Caherdavin, Hill Celtic, Herbertstown.

[abbeyvale]

Mungret's last 7 games are:

Home: Kilmallock, Dromore, Bruff.

I'd fancy them to pick up at least 15pts from those games

it will be interestig to see where those home games are played

[Toon army]

fixtures for the weekend:

Dromore v Hill Celtic
Mungret v Bruff

Any others??

[gaidin]

Not really. Balla B have always played all their home games out in Bateman the with the exception of 1 or 2 so Id be guessing that they will be on in bateman.

[Toon army]

My predictions:

Mungret 1 V Bruff 0
Dromore 2 V Hill Celtic 2
Herbertstown 1 V Geraldines 0

[razbar]

I reckon if mungret and dromore win this weekend the pressure will be well and throughly on kilmallock and balla to win those games in hand cause mungret and dromore will have some daylight between them and more importantly have the points on the board and the gap could prove to much..

Another win for Dromore and mungret, dromore winning by a goal but mungret once again hammering bruff, like they have done with the last few teams. how come mungret seem to be doing this to every team that they come up against. what is behind mungret success in the last few months?

[Bruffer]

This mungret team seem to be on some sort of a mission at the moment.Apart from the fact that bruff were down a few bodies yesterday due to suspensions and injuries mungret seemed to be strong in every position and looked like as if they had plenty to spare on the sideline .Bruff will keeping plugging away and could sneak a cup yet this season.

[Dallas]

Mungret were always a good team will quality players, it was just a matter of bringing together in the right way and getting them to play as a proper team. There is a good team spirit there in the team and everyone gets along with eachother so that is always a good thing to have.:D

I accept all that Dallas ,that team spirit is important but what I witnessed yesterday was more than that ,the only thing I can compare to was watching Munster beat Wasps in Thomond park in Jan this year.Mungret seemed to have developed this X factor.

Mungret are playing well against (as i have said a lot of times on this post)very average teams,but fair play to them you can only beat what is put on front of you,as for the quote by dallas,they were a very good team a few years back,last few years they have only been average as positions in the leagues have shown.Have seen them once this year and they were beaten in that match but they wern't a bad side.They have quality in there striker who always looks dangerous other than that I'll wait till the end of the season to start singing threr praises too much

They were always going to come strong and they seem to have a top striker in top form at the moment in Keith McNicholas.

I agree, keith mcnicholas has been playing well along side that big fella up front. I think they have over 30goals between them. Mungret have really seemed to get their act together in the last few months. Their team is strong all-over. They had about 7 on the bench on sunday, but i suppose that is the way it is with teams that are winning consistently, everyone wants to get onto the first 11. I do hope mungret get promoted this year, but balla and kilmallock will have to slip up first. Don't know if that is going to happen.

one of the main things mungret have going for them is that they have points on the board and those two teams you mentioned toon army are playing catch up so the pressure is really on them to get results..

[Sir Jose]

any predictions for the weekend??

cappamore v shannon ( 1-1)
cahirdavin v kilmallock (0-3)
balla v geraldines (1-1)
newcastle v blackburn (2-2) prob end up (0-7).

Well Dallas, I want a bit of ur croissante sunday wk,hungry ****r.

I agree with you razbar, kilmallock and balla both play the 2bottom teams in the league who are struggling for points at the moment. it will be good to see how they do at the weekend. balla haven't played since before x-mas so they will be lacking match fitness.
