Not the best game of football ever seen in Belfield, but we got the goals when we needed them and kept Belgrove at bay handily enough. Should have gone behind when yer man missed from six yards - good save from PJ though - but other than that and one deflected free, they never really troubled us.
Still have an irritating tendency not to play the ball sooner than we do - having people in acres of space and yet still trying to go around one or two players.
Apparently the Cup draw is on Monday? Hopefully St. Mochta's or Cherry Orchard but I suppose we'll settle for any non-top 5 side at home.
One last thing from last night though was the ref - at one stage he gave us a throw only for Belgrove to go and take it and play to be let continue! And late in the game we were attacking down the right and a ball came on the left of the pitch - the ref blew his whistle to get the ball off the pitch and restarted with a hop ball!!! Didn't cost us or anything, but two of the stupidest decisions I've seen in a long while!
