Ppl stood all around the place. We arrived 5 minutes before kickoff..... Nicer than the spot we played UCD last preseason!!

Davidatrb, did you get a chance to video any of it? I believe some Kildare fans had a camera with them last year.

Was that not 3-0

Dunno. Got a text saying we were 1-0 up, then 2-0 so presumed that that was that.

[Keen2win]

Thanks for the scoreline Keen2win. I will continue to trust people who go to football matches.

I know one shouldn't really get excited over pre-season and I haven't seen any matches myself but I wonder if Purcell and Byrne could have the makings of a good partnership. Byrne's record over the last few years suggests he could be a good goalscorer and he is also good in the air. Timmy on the other hand is nippy and harrasses defenders and appears to be finding his scoring boots. Last season we lacked a functioning partnership and it blunted us badly, although we also benefitted from playing 5 across the middle. The team could score more this season with a good duo who compliment each other.

Amazing how wrong my match report is!

Can't tell if the second penalty was saved or if it hit the post. I'm leaning towards the latter.

I was over near it and it looked like it was saved.
