A Championship Shield 2008

[Bluebeard]

Unless they're organising ye're buses I don't think they're taking any money it costs ye to have a second XI.

But it's not just the A team Galway are putting out that is affecting Cobh, Gavin. Apparently, they want them to go to Galway for an away fixture with the senior team too! Galway have done this deliberately, I'm guessing - it is all a plot to do Cobh down by that evil sneak Nick Leesson, and his communist Jewish gay Galwegian cabal:p:D

what a waste of money, clubs are forced to send there reserve team to galway , that money could be better used in club, they give it on one hand then find a way to take it away with other hand

Yes ye better get a big cap out for collections , because yer A team will have to make 3 trips to Galway , United , Mervue and Salthill .Then again the tourist industry in Cobh will double if each of the above teams bring 3 / 4 supporters with them .Is Cobh a suburb of Cork ?

if Cork won two and lost two how have they 9 points???

should it not be 6 points and galway/cork in semi depending on us winning our last game?

[Schumi]

if Cork won two and lost two how have they 9 points???

should it not be 6 points and galway/cork in semi depending on us winning our last game?And how can Cork have lost 2 when Galway and Cobh have only won one between them?

I presume it should read Cork with 3 wins, one loss and 9 points.

[galwayhoop]

And how can Cork have lost 2 when Galway and Cobh have only won one between them?
excellent point!!!!

[pete]

I presume it should read Cork with 3 wins, one loss and 9 points.

Correct.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Cork beat Cobh but on the EL site it said Cobh won. I only remembered to change the points and GD.

BRAY V. SAINTS - A TEAM SHIELD
Maurice O'Driscoll's A-Team continue their Shield campaign this evening as they take on Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds.

With one win and a draw from their two game thus far, a draw or a win will see The Saints move to the top of Group 2.

The team will include several members of the victorious Saints' Youth Side that lifted the Ferrari Leinster Youth Cup on Sunday.

O'Driscoll tolds stpatsfc.com that the first teams injury crisis is also taking its toll on his side.

"We really are down to the bare bones and although some of the lads from the U17's and U18's have done fantastically well and are delighted to be involved, we have to be very careful not to burn them out.

"We could be up against it tonight as Bray will have a far more experienced team but with a bit of luck we can get a result."

Kick-Off in Bray is at 7.30 p.m. and all support is welcome.

Is that not wrong? A draw tonight and a win for Bray in the reverse fixture would see Bray go through I thought.

[Danny]

it doesnt say anything about going through
it says they'll move to the top of the group, altho on GD we already are top

[DmanDmythDledge]

Only top of the group goes through to the semis.

[charliesboots]

yeah but it doesn't say we'll go through it just says we'll move to the top with a point or better tonight.....jeez.....

[DmanDmythDledge]

I'm having a bad day- thought it said get through and missed it again when Danny pointed it out:o

[superfrank]

Bray won 3-1 tonight against Pats.

[charliesboots]

Bray won 3-1 tonight against Pats.

Bray's pace up front caused us a lot of problems in the first half but we played well in the second half.

Our team was made up of our U17's and U18's most of whom had played in (and won) the Ferrari Leinster Youth Cup on Sunday. In those circumstances I thought we did well.

Rhona reffed and was terrible (for both sides).

After Derek Foran's heroics on Friday and the five or six handballs that weren't given last night I'm beginning to think that there's some exception to the handball law in the Carlisle Grounds!! :D

[superfrank]

Yeah, there were so many bad offsides given against us you could just tell that the linos weren't up to speed with the Bray strikers.

Bray's team had three, at least, players who have played first-team football this season and up front, Franco is on his way back from injury that's why he played last night.

[charliesboots]

Yeah, there were so many bad offsides given against us you could just tell that the linos weren't up to speed with the Bray strikers.

Agree with that except for your last goal which was miles offside.

[superfrank]

Agree with that except for your last goal which was miles offside.
I was sitting down the other end so I can't argue.

Were Pats docked points?

Only way I can see them not earning more than Bray

[superfrank]

I was at the Bray SC meeting last night and they said Pats were docked points for fielding an ineligible player.

[London-Irish]

Is the Bishopstown ground the one that Cork City's first team used to play at? Now used for GAA?

[Hitman]

Is the Bishopstown ground the one that Cork City's first team used to play at? Now used for GAA?

Yes it's the one they used to play at, but it's now used as the training ground and for youth and reserve matches. Never used for Gaelic Games as far as I'm aware.

[GavinZac]

Is the Bishopstown ground the one that Cork City's first team used to play at? Now used for GAA?

No, you're thinking of Flower Lodge / Pairc Ui Rinn.

Bishopstown was the first and last Olympic Swimming/Football groundsharing agreement, further out in the sticks.

[London-Irish]

Thanks for the info lads

Harps 0 - 1 Bohs after extra time.
