We drew 0-0 with Cork tonight
An account of the game and a small anecdote from last night's game courtesty of BohSelecta:
I went up the road to this - Nil apiece. Cork looked not that good, actually, especially when you consider that their starting front six was Behan, Mooney, Kearney, Gamble, Healy and O'Callaghan. Shels well worth their draw and it wasn't a bad night out at all, especially when Keely, having watched a Cork sub sky the ball over the bar, turned to the Corkies and shouted
"He should be playing for the GAA team you don't have"
:D

Shels were the better team last night. 0-0 it ended but for about the first 60 minutes Shels were the better team and also had the best chance of the match. Changing our whole team turned the game into a bit of a mess but we still had chances in the last 30mins.
Any Cork fan that was there care to comment on the football??
Even if Cork claim their best eleven were not trying !! it's still great to see a Shels team hold their own with the current cup winners and all their 'rich' stars...

Tbh I thought we were comfortably on top in the first half. Created a few chances, some good moves, but very little end product. Mooney have a few chances he will hopefully bury with a few more games under his belt
Thought ye defended well and were well up for it as well as having a few chances on the break in that half. Bisto(??) should have done better.
Ye were on top for a good bit of the second half alright, but for the last 25 minutes or so I couldn't name half our players so tbh wasn't too bothered about the football. None of them bar Billy and Mick will be anywhere near the team.
Was a good work out for us, and ye didn't hold back which is great for the lads so early. We have a lot to work on but I thought it was positive enough for us with Gamble looking especially good and the players looking fitter than they have this early in the season for a while.
Ye look a strong,fit well drilled outfit with a couple of skillful players. I'd expect ye to do well this year, if ye keep improving on a preseason game like you'd expect.

I couldnt name half our starting eleven!! nevermind the second eleven who finished the game :)
Your subs didnt come off that quick either! Murray was on for a good 80 minutes I thought. Devine played the full 90 too. I'm not sure where Keely got the players from! but we finished with a few trial players and still looked ok.
Kearney is one amazing piece of muck by the way!! easily the worst player on the pitch last night.
Bisto is Anto Flood. My tip for top scorer in the First Division this year, assuming he's not snapped up by a premier club at some point.

:D A very strong 11 started for us alright, but we werent very interested in getting physical. When ye starting putting in the hard tackles we stood off a bit, fear of injury so early I guess.
For us I think it was more about getting the first touch working,a dn a bit of movement and interplay going which happened.
For ye, I guess a lot of them would have been playing to impress if ye didnt know them. Ye can only be pleased with that.

Yeah the second batch were a bit later alright, not that late though.
Devine played the full 90 too.
No other keeper with us. Nults is injured
I'm not sure where Keely got the players from! but we finished with a few trial players and still looked ok.
The last few minutes were a bit of an all out, underage like, game. Players playing for contracts, flying in to tackles and the like.
Kearney is one amazing piece of muck by the way!! easily the worst player on the pitch last night.
I agree.
Bisto is Anto Flood
Ahhh. He was getting some amount of abuse off Keely. We calmed him down though :D

Do you honestly think there's any point in playing such weak oppossition for a pre season game - manager will learn nothing about his teamIt's our first game back. We played practically our main team first half and fringe players in the 2nd. We played them because they're a local junior side and had new facilities opened so they asked if we'd play them. Obviously they're nowhere near the opposition we'll play in Premier and Cook has said that, still good for first game back. Hopefully it'll get us a few new fans going to games too because their was around 250 people there which for a village the size of Coolaney, is good enough;)

Conor Kenna scoring his first ever goals for UCD in an interesting game for him - in the space of 20 minutes, he hit the bar with a penalty, scored a penalty (30 seconds later, having won one from the scramble from the rebound), and had a penalty saved before scoring the rebound.
Not much else to conclude other than that. Nice set up the Youths have, very easy ground to find (right by the N11, with signposts everywhere to the extent that even the road signs were sponsored by the club), two pitches, café/bar. Youths looked better than last year (when we beat then 4-0 and missed a penalty).

St. Pats: Barry Ryan (Brendan Clarke HT); Stephen Brennan, Stephen Paisley, Jamie Harris (Mark Quigley HT), David Partridge (Glen Fitzpatrick 78); Ryan Guy, Gary Dempsey, Joseph Ndo, Alan Kirby (Damien Lynch 59); Max Cream (Derek Foran HT), Lauren Merlin (Gary O’Neill HT).
Dundalk scored after four minutes through John Flanagan from a David Crawley corner. Pats had a lot of possession for the whole game but didn't do a whole lot with it. Dundalk reserve keeper pulled off a good save on 20 mins, and then both sides hit the post in the second-half.

Coleraine FC 0
Finn Harps 1
Chris McNulty reports from Coleraine
FINN Harps' pre-season friendly series kicked off tonight as Paul Hegarty's side overcame Irish League Premier Division Coleraine at the Coleraine Showgrounds where a first half goal from Conor Gethins handed the Ballybofey residents their first win of 2008.
Last season's First Division Player of the Year struck on 17 minutes as he fired home after latching onto a through ball from strike partner Stephen Parkhouse to give his side victory in a tame encounter.
Manager Paul Hegarty handed debuts to three of his new signings with Marc Mukendi, Gerry Gill and Sean Williams included in the starting eleven while the returned Chris Breen along with another of the new faces, Cornelius Gallagher were among the substitutes.
Of the new recruits, Williams shone the brightest during his hour, or so, in action as he showed just why he is so highly rated by Hegarty. Still on the books of Drogheda United, the left winger is on loan at Finn Park until June with a view to extending the deal for the remainder of the campaign - on the evidence of his initial showing in the Harps colours, the small pocket of loyal followers in attendance tonight will hope he sees out the season.
Scottish based defenders Aaron Labonte and Stuart Malcolm were absent, as was Gary Beckett with Harps lining out along familiar lines, aside from the trio of new faces in the starting line up.
Harps were forced into an early alteration as Marc Brolly had to be helped from the pitch just four minutes in after picking up a knock and he was replaced by Shaun McGowan. Harps threatened early on in a lively opening from Paul Hegarty's charges with Conor Gethins going close on two minutes when presented with a chance from a centre by Stephen Parkhouse.
The Lifford man shot into the arms of goalkeeper Laurence McCormick from ten yards. Parkhouse then saw a powerful drive go the wrong side of the target before the Donegal side broke the deadlock on 17 minutes. Parkhouse slipped Gethins in behind the defence and he raced clear, beating McCormick with a neat effort that crept into the far corner.
New signing Gerry Gill came close to doubling the tally soon after, but his left footed shot from the corner of the penalty box landed in the side netting while Parkhouse was inches away five minutes after the opener. The big striker met Gethins' teasing corner, but his glancing header clipped the crossbar on its way over.
At the other end, Gavin Cullen wasn't troubled too frequently with a couple of efforts from Jody Tolan the closest the home side came to forcing a breakthrough and as the teams headed for the dressing rooms at the interval, Gethins' strike was all that was between them.
The second half was one of few chances with the most notable attempt at adding the scoreline falling the way of the ever-dangerous Parkhouse whose industrious chip from inside the box dipped a fraction too late and ended in the terraces being the Coleraine net.
Hegarty used the second half to give runs to fringe members of last year's panel James Doherty and Johnny Havlin while Michael Funston and Cornelius Gallagher were also introduced.
For Harps, Marc Mukendi nestled into centre back well while Sean Holmes, Tony Shields and Conor Gethins were their usual hard-working and effective selves with Stephen Parkhouse and Shaun Williams also turning in good displays.
Harps continue their series of friendly matches on Friday night next when they host Dermot Keely's Shelbourne at Finn Park (kick off 7.45pm).
Coleraine: Laurence McCormick; Ryan McLaughlin, John Neill, Kyle McVey, Stewart Clanachan; Trevor Hutchinson, Gordon Patton, John Watt, Alan Ewart; Jody Tolan, Damien Whitehead. Subs: Stephen Dooley (for Hutchinson, 60mins); Adam McCart (for McLaughlin, 60mins); James Peden (for Ewart, 71mins); Lee Nevin (for Whitehead, 71mins); Kevin O'Neill (for Patton, 80mins)..
Finn Harps: Gavin Cullen, Sean Roddy, Sean Holmes, Declan Boyle, Mark Mukendi, Tony Shields, Gerry Gill, Shaun Williams, Stephen Parkhouse, Conor Gethins, Marc Brolly. Subs: Shaun McGowan (for Brolly, 4 mins); Cornelius Gallagher (for Williams, 59mins); Michael Funston (for Gill, 59mins); James Doherty (for Shields, 85mins); Johnny Havlin (for Roddy, 85mins).

Harps should really have tried to get him on a season-long loan. Drogs started messing about with Dundalk during the July transfer window last year, as they took him back first, before eventually agreeing to let him stay with us for the rest of the season.
Quality player.
