think its just us 3 thats interested in local football on this forum!

coen's very good, that must have been his debut last week?! another good addition to the abbey squad! cant see past abbey for winning it again! think the question is who'll go down!

treacy will definatly imo. between ourselves and maybe boyle or strand. strand will be getting a few more players once rovers under 21's season finishes aswell, think that was the last game today! so i can see them getting better

Abbey to win, no doubt about that. Carbury to finish second i'd say and Strand'll go down

looks like strand might be going down. They have an awfully young side

No he played about 20 mins v Athenry gets in some great positions and he is very quick good on the ball aswell.

Its a great shame to see Strand in the state they are in.A lot of young lads fired in at the deep end.I think they will definatly go down.And to be honest the committee must shoulder the blame.Thay shafted Donagh Oates last season!But in fairness to strand they have the best under age setup in town.But you wont see the fruits of that labour for about another 4 years.

Feo send me a pm if you must slag me off.Instead of the mods deleting it.I was only having a bit of craic with you bro!

ai donal your dead right.(u were lookin lovly by the way;):D) some didnt seem bothered today. Depressing to be honest the last few weeks. i think its 19-20 goals against the last few games (doesnt look great for the keeper...:mad:) Have a few lads back next week, its gonna be a long hard season as it is, and unless we buck up seriously, its by bye to the super league and down to the premier with us.how did treacy get on today...

Abbey beat Calry Boh,s 2 nil.Both goals in the second half from Lee Marshall.Very young side who work very hard for each other and in fairness never stopped trying even at 2 nil down they worked until the final whistle was blown.But easy win for Abbey who never got out of second gear.Stephen coen man of the match for me!Jesus that boy is quick!

we'll struggle to score many goals this year! seem to just play the traditional junior league kick and chase style at the minute. abbey created more chances, we only had one or two half chances at best, could have been 5 or 6 had abbey played better

Abbey Utd. 2-0 Calry Bohs
Manor Rgrs. 3-1 Arrow Harps
Treacy Celt. 0-5 Boyle Celtic
Strand Celtic 0-4 Carbury FC
Yeats Utd. 0-1 City Utd.

David Blaine scored for City after a couple of mins. Good goal too, sold the centre half a lovely dummy.

Lee Marshall's first was good, perfect lay off from Shannon.

Who scored Carbury's first 3? Only saw the 4th (was on a bit of a tour of the Sligo Leitrim League ths morning :D

shannon is probably the best footballer in the league when he gets the ball to his feet

Its the juinor cup next week Feo and we Abbey! have you lads again this week.In fairness to ye yesterday ye stop us from playing in the first half by packing the midfield.But we were allways in charge would that be fair to say.

yeah we never looked like scoring really. mckenna and mcgloughlin had plenty of time on the ball in the full back positions coz we only had the one man up front chasing. it was a bit like the champions cup semi final last year when we held ye until about the 80th minute, but ye were always in charge! will be much the same next week although we should have kevin devaney back, he's only 16 but he's our best player by far and should make us better out wide. is it in sean fallon park again?

We have 3 big games coming up.Calry in the Fai juinor cup. The week after that it,s Galway utd U21 in the Conn senior cup and then the derby with City in the league!

would ye see the senior cup being more important than the connaght junior cup?

No but it would be great to get a good run in it!We think we can have a good run in connaght junior cup!And if we get a bit of luck with home draws in the fai junior cup!we would be looking at the last 4 as a real possabilaty!

feo123

10/10/2007, 8:23 PM

yeah no reason why ye couldnt if ye have a full team, including martin ward, he'd be a good addition to have back in the team, then let rasher go outfield. will paddy conlon be back after international duty?
doubt i'll be playin on sunday, havnt got a chance at senior yet really, only a few sub appearances, u18 captain so am more interested in that anyways

red metal

11/10/2007, 9:22 PM

No we wont have Paddy Conlon or Andrew mc Loughlin or Packie this week!Paddy wont be back for another 3 weeks Packie is away in Liverpool and Andrew is away with his family for the weekend!

feo123

11/10/2007, 11:22 PM

so ye'll just have the bear 11 then if ward dosn't show!? don't think it'll make much difference anyway tbh

No we should have 13!Looking forward to the next few game!

Ya i think Dessie Cawley is looking after them!He was already talking to a few of or lads.

DonalE

16/10/2007, 3:44 PM

Will be mainly Abbey players i'd say, what you think Red Metal?

red metal

17/10/2007, 12:15 PM

No i think tere will be a few but tere is a lot of good player around the league to have a good Sligo Leitrim team.The 2 lads up front for Manor and Naill Walsh Shane Hayes of Carbury.Blaine and keith feeney and nibber of City John Harvey and the goalkeeper of Yeats!And maybe a few of the Boyle lads aswell.But i think Dessie should have a look at all the divisions!

DonalE

18/10/2007, 5:22 PM

Haven't seen much of the Manor lads, Shane Hayes and Niall Walsh alright. Brian McAteer is the Yeats keeper, very good alright and that fella in goals for Strand isn't too bad either I guess :D

I reckon on their day Abbey would beat the best of the rest of the S/L league. . . maybe

red metal

19/10/2007, 6:43 AM

I was just asking the lads last night about the Sligo Leitrim team and they told me tere is not going to be one now.What a joke of a league we are in.

20/10/2007, 5:01 PM

hot the nail on the head RM...ever since the SL team in the eircom u21 fell apart, the powers that be dont want to know about representative sides...after that happened kennedy said that he didnt think there would be one in any shape or form for years to some.pity really, some great junior players in the league, would have given any other rep side a game.

20/10/2007, 9:25 PM

does anyone know how long suspension for a straight red card is in youth football. and if your sent off u18, do you get suspended for senior

biscuit

21/10/2007, 12:38 PM

Feo afaik its 2 games for a straight red. It doesnt effect senior games as your registered with two different associations.

Any results yet lads.

Strand beath treacy 4-0
City were leadin abbey 1-0 at some stage, how did that finish?

21/10/2007, 4:07 PM

abbey 1 - 1 city - howd it go RM? Any oher results?

think we have you next week feo,off to liverpool myself, won't be around..

feo123

21/10/2007, 7:12 PM

seems to be a good few going to liverpool from sligo next weekend!

purcell got the ball about 40 yards out, ran to the edge of the box, he was on the corner of the box and chipped the keeper with the outside of his foot. might not sound great the way im explaining it but it was class

big game next weekend, calry v strand. losers will stuggle. think its at home for us.

red metal

21/10/2007, 7:30 PM

We drew 1-1 with City in fairness to city they had 2 good chance,s.And should have beaten us.We just didnt play today and we were lucky to get a point.

Wardy did allright made a good save from Nibber after about 5 mins and another god save from Blaine.As i said we played bad yesterday but it tells you something about the squad when we still came away with a point.That is like City cup final twice a year.They give it everything against us and then go away and get bet v Manor or Tracy. Alot of the lads were disappointed with tere own personal performance yesterday!

ye wern't at yere very best against calry imo in the 2 games, but still got 2 wins, so once ye hit top gear again it'll be hard to stop ye

fare play to manor btw, they've done brilliantly. i heard a rumour that they pay their manager to come from enniskillen to coach them.....
