Hmmm. Yes indeed, unfortunately Drums lost 5-0 in a FAI 3rd tie. When the qualified for the 3rd round we were drawn away to the winners of the UCD V COrk City tie. We thought we were in for a financial bonanza but UCD won

Having said that it was a good experience for our lads to play against a LOI team, especially as Pete Mahon is an ex Drums player.

Intermediate side Sunday Senior 1B have had a good January in the League winning two and drawing one ( 2-2 away to Grenville, 6-0 away against CIE Ranch and this weekend 5-2 home to Sacred Heart.) The results have moved UCD up to the chasing pack challenging for the three promotion spots. There's at least eight clubs going for this, which means every wek there's a six-pointer or two. Also, the fixture list will play a part as UCD have completed two league games against three other clubs ( Loughshinny 6pts, CIE Ranch 4pts and Sacred Heart 4pts). While they still have to play their first League game against Tymon Celtic, Valeview Shankill, Kilnamanagh and Fairview CYM.
The team now play in two different Cup over the next two weeks.
Moore Cup quarter finals at home against Leixlip Utd.
14:00 at Belfield, either Forster's Avenue or in front of the Sports Centre.

The following week (Saturday 31 but more likely Sunday Feb. 1) in the fourth Round of the Intermediate Cup down at Ringmahon Park in Cork City against Ringmahon Rangers, ko 14:00.

I know some of you will want to make the trip down.

The Saturday side's results in SAT Major 1B isn't gret but they are still challenging for promotion. They play a derby match next saturday 14:00 against Glenmore Dundrum at Moreen Park, Moreen Estate.

Pegasus is in the quaters of the ESB metropolitan Cup

Saturday major1B side beat Glenmore Dundrum today 2-1, with goals from Phillip Byrne and Dean Teeth(sp?). It was a derby in many respects including hard challenges from Glenmore.

Ringmahon Rangers v. UCD
Ringmahon Park, Cork city. (14:00 or 14:30 ko. TBC)

This last fixture is one of the toughest matches the Sunday team will face so far this year. Rangers are top of the second tier in MSL football and look good for promotion. UCD are on good goal-scoring form and will wantthatto continue this weekend and next.
As many UCD fans as possible going down will be welcomed. They have already made history in the College by qualifying for next seasons FAI Cup 1st round.

".. Ringmahon Rangers Rangers Park


Coming from Regional Hospital Wilton, go down Sarsfield Road onto the link road. Go through the airport roundabout. head for Douglas. Ignore the 2 exits for Douglas head towards the Lee Tunnel. Before you come to the tunnel take the exit for Mahon. Take a left at the T junction at the top of the slip road and drive past the factories, (Sifco, Macom, etc ). You'll come to a T Junction where you turn right. Go about 500 yards past the cemetery, to the end of this road. Turn left and the pitch is on the right.

For me that makes it south of the Blackrock suburb on the Ringmahon road, East side near the coast.

Belfield Campus, Dublin
Wednesday 28th January @ 14.30hrs

UCD overwhelmed Queens University Belfast today 6-0 with goals from David McMillan (2), Eoin Roche, Dwayne Wilson, Sean Geoghegan (Pictured) and the best goal of the day a cheeky back flick from Peter McMahon.

The open draw for semi finals will take place on Thursday afternoon.


Was talking to someone out at the game this afternoon, Dave McMillan showing some promise which is a good sign for the season coming. The lads on new scholarships did well too apparently.

Nit picking!

Is the Collingwood on soon? It's usually around the same time as the Harding.

I call it Harpoising. I might make up some stuff about a clique too.

Collingwood in on from 24 to 27 Feb in Cork. Draw is here (doc file). Our path to victory is Magee in the first round, UL/QUB in the quarters, and UCC not till the final.

Thanks.

Horrible draw, in the same half as UUC and UUJ. UL are usually decent as well aren't they? And all three byes in the other half, very odd.

Magee isn't much different to a bye in fairness.

UCC are our bogey team and usually start as favourites, especially if home advantage means anything in this. We can't face both UUC and UUJ, so it's an even enough split, I think.
