Munster Senior League

[dcnags]

Result from MSL:

Avondale 5-2 Leeds.

Wasnt at the game, decent win for the dale, starting to score a a bit more in the last few games. I didn't get much of a report but heard caulfield scored again! I think avondale are ahead of rockmount by 7 and behind castleview by 6 or 3, playing them on sunday. Not sure about games in hand though. Its still very open. Avondale still have to play rockmount...... away

Rockmount back on track with a 2-0 win over Middleton. Mickey Deasy the goal machine with one and Pat Oldham with a stunning scissors kick. Beechinor and Oldham back in the side after injury.....ominous for others hopefully.

The Avondale v Castleview on Sunday is a must win for Avondale for themselves and Rockmount, then if that happens when they both meet at Rockmount it should be a decider - providing they win all their other games into the bargain. So in essence Come on Avondale on Sunday and Come on the Mount forever.....

Went over to Leeds Park last night, Castleview crowd were out in force.
Leeds tried the usual kick sh*t but were poor at the back.
For a man of his age Caulfield is playing some super stuff, scored again last night.
Avondale were 4-1 up at HT.
After their defeat to Castleview a while back and after some dodgy draws I think Avondale are picking things up again. 3 Cup wins on the trot and a fairly convincing win last night.
Sunday is the game though, think its 3pm KO at Avondale Park.

Prob the defeat in the quarter finals upset them!!!! Seriously though they are in great form and should be well up for the game on Sunday. Leeds are poor though. So last night although impressive it may not be a good indicator. Castleview will "get amongst" you on Sun arvo so hopefully Caulfield will be on form score three and then opt out against Rockmount, you can't beat class no matter what age.

Think it was more the manner of the defeat as opposed to the defeat itself.

Yawn....

Well, I heard it was 2-0 castleview with about ten left, any further on that one? If so then unlucky, sure it was a tough one, they get in amongst you.

Rockmount were robbed in a nil all with Ringmahon, lost in the end on spotters. Only Beamish cup though.

Bring on the big one next Sunday.....

Avondale 0-2 Castleview FT
Castleview were 2 up after 5 minutes, league over i'm afraid.
Didn't make it down myself.
Hopefully a decent draw tonight in the FAI Cup.

Read the Echo last night with a report by Pat McAuliffe who was also the linesman for the game (talk about double jobbing)and said the ref had a good game, he booked one player from each team twice and played 44 minutes in the first half. crazy stuff.

So can any1 tell me a bit more about Avondale, should we be worried for the cup game?

Oh Yeah i'd be worried alright, Lots of ex Cork City talent at the club.
John Caulfield is player manager and playing super stuff at the moment, Noel Hartigan at centre half, John Cotter in midfield. A good side playing some good football under Caulfield. They are currently missing a few players through long term injuries but should be a good game all the same.
News from the camp is that the game will probably go ahead at Avondale Park. Directions can be posted later.

Mate of mine - ST holder up there with Bray is happy enough. Avondale will enjoy the battle , will make it really hard, but Zayed and co should be enough to get through it.

Great tie though, you never know with cup football. Good luck to both.

[Stevo Da Gull]

Cheers lads, we'll probably manage a draw and take them back to the Carlisle.
I am a bit worried, the draw seems tougher than a few Div1 teams, good bitto quality around the MSL so then I reckon.

Assume you are from the Carew perspective? Did yee play replay yet?

If you looked at a table you would think it will be a stroll, but they are after finding some incredible form since January in cups in particular. Pushed Wayside in semi of intermediate cup and beat other finalists Rockmount in the league about three weeks ago (although Mount were weak on the night)

I'm not sure how to compare the different leagues both teams play in, but I'd venture the Hall might have a bit too much, although it is away. What's the inherent difference between Senior and Junior football? I'd say very little indeed.

Last Night
Avondale Utd 0-0 Douglas Hall

So unless Rockmount can provide a minor miracle then the league is Castleviews.

Jaysus, what's happened Avondale? I saw them v Fermoy at the weekend and they were hammered. Shame really, a good senior cup run will fix it all. Is it cos big Damien is injured?

Rockmount need Douglas Hall to come up with a win v Castleview and then we have to win all 5 of the league games left. Bleeding heck it would be amzing if tht became possible. Come on the Hall.
