FAI Junior Cup 2007/08

Are both team at full strenght for the final, or is there an injuries to key players

[Dr Mad]

Killester are full strength. They had a hard fought 1 nil win in the League over portmarnock tuesday night, rested 2 with minor knocks and gave 1 or 2 coming back in a full 90 minutes. Strong squad of 20 players and other Dublin rivals watching closely for fallout as there will be a couple disappointed no matter what happens.

carrick are at full strength, they had no game for 10 days or so .!
ready for action , will "dr mad " be attending to keep an eye on his "investment" ???!:confused:

[Dr Mad]

Hope so! In negotiation with Mrs Mad at the moment!
Let's say it might cost me more than the petrol and the admission fee.

[carrick hoops]

WELL DONE TO CARRICK UNITED!
2-1 winners against killester , after being down 1-0 at half time , they had most of the pressure, missed a penalty and scored a last minute penalty to win !
ps to DR MAD ; tramore is nice for a weekend break if the funds are low after your un-wise investment !..............

[Dr Mad]

Congratulations to Carrick on a well deserved win today. Delighted for youse and I mean that sincerely.

Yes its Kilmuckridge this summer for me and Mrs Mad but its worth it thinking about the look on Graydons face when the final whistle blew. Truly great teams RETAIN the Junior Cup and are few and far between. Only 12 weeks till the 2008/09 Tournament!!!

[C.T.F.C]

Congratulations on a much deserved success today. Carrick have been banging on the door for a while and its great to see them get their reward. Carrick were the best team on display today and Killester didn't seem to have a plan B when Carrick changed their shape in the 2nd half. Dyl Kavanagh tormented their centre halfs all afternoon and won both penos. Carricks first was on O.G and alan ryan nearly broke the net with the peno to win it. Some sore heads in Carrick tommorrow :D:D

[OscarBravo]

Congrats to Carrick. Have to say I thought Killester were shoo-ins. Saw them play twice in the last three years (both times against Westport United) and they are as good a team as I've seen play Junior football.
Haven't witnessed Carrick but they're obviously some side to be able to deny Killester a famous back to back success.

[green&white]

Its a proud day for Carrick on Suir , and Carrick United . Thanks to all for wishing us well and ,yes, there are a few sore heads this morn . I must point out all 19 players are CARRICK born and bred .( yes that includes Ian Clery) Happy days

[Dr Mad]

Savour every minute of it lads. Terrific achivement.

[trevy]

Well done Carrick. I was at the game today to see our new stand and support ye and ye had great support there. Waterford United would love to see numbers like that at our home games. I was cheering like a Carrick fan all my life for ye when ye scored the goals in the 2nd half and ye deserved the win. Well done to the former Blues players on the team in particular.

[Closing Time]

congratulations to everybody involved...savour every minute of it,fai wins dont come around all that often

Congrats from all at Castlebar Celtic

[Dr Mad]

Very true Francis-Man.

8 years for me, and the celebration pictures in the Star this morning brought the memories flooding back.

Francis didn't win it in those years, it was Cherry Orchard. The latter the first of the three in a row

[papa-j]

thats a great result against a strong Trinity side. I would fancy Carrick to go all the way with a bit of luck in the draw.
D

let me see....next years winner will be;) well done carrick, I was impressed with Trinity and when ye beat them away I felt that you could go all the way.
Fantastic weekend had by all I'd imagine

[le tizz]

well done to all at carrick
we had a tough battle with ye down there a couple of years back in the munster junior- i was very impressed with the team at that time and the pitch was great to play on ! and we were shown great hospitality in the pub after to somewhat ease the pain on the spin back to cork

As part of the squad, Im sure I speak for the rest of the lads in thanking you all for the comments posted. Its very humbling to see teams from all over the country offering their congratulations. It goes to show that a bit of talent and a hell of a lot of hard work can pay off in the end. The craic was mighty since the final whistle, I think the celebrations will continue for the summer. Many thanks once again!!!

[inexile]

belated congratulations lads to one and all concerned, a very good friend of mine is involved with ye're schoolboy section and talking to him sunday i was delighted for him, the players and the whole community.

dont even bother thinking about retaining it for the moment, enjoy the moment for the time being

Congratulations to Carrick from everyone all over the country

Wasn't at the match as I was on holidays. Sounds like a cracker of a match, delighted for Carrick, they have worked very hard not just this season but over the last few years.
In case my own club Clonmel Town didn't send any congratulations ( which was probably the case!!), on behalf of the Town supporters, well done
