Apparently Avondale missed a clutch of sitters and were denied a penalty near the end.

I'm sure the James' Gate view might be different though!!!!!

Lot's of draw's - we play Everton next Sunday in our game.

Fanad and Lissadel gone, Wayside looking strong. Sounds like Avondale confident of getting through in the replay then.

Hit the post twice as well but I believe Gate had a man sent off in the first half so that may have explained the dominance.

Rockmount 0-0 Everton this morning
Wait for Cliffy for the report.

Morning all,

Tough game yesterday morning for Rockmount, as Razor said it was a 0-0 draw. Everton came in very determined fashion and without ever getting a shot on goal they were better than Mount in the first half. Despite the ref, who was shocking, Mount still had the better chances, but couldn't put them away. In the second half Mount showed up finally and battered the Everton side without taking any of the 5 great chances they created - Beech causing havoc in the Everton back line. Slatts in goal only had to combat the chills as he didn't see the ball for the whole 45. One of those days? Maybe, but still alive to see another day and as always will give it everything in the replay.

Belgrove 3-3 LiffeyPearse
Drogheda Town 2-2 Carrigaline Utd
Bangor Celtic 0-0 Crumlin Utd
Swilly Rovers 1-1 St Marys
Wayside 1-0 Lissadel
Douglas Hall 2-1 Fanad
St James' Gate 0-0 Avondale

The draw has been made and I think it sees winners of Belgrove and Liffey vs Rockmount or Everton (not sure who would be at home) and in the possible tie of the round we might see Avondale or St James' Gate v Douglas Hall.

Not sure of the rest of the ties..

St Marys won 4-1 on pens
Unreal stuff here Marys were 3-1 down with 2 minutes of normal time left and then got 2 penalties in 2 minutes to take the game to extra time.
Swilly then despite being a man short, then went 4-3 ahead only for Marys to score with a peach of a free kick. Marys won it on spot kicks.

Everton / Rockmount v Belgrove FC

[Clifford]

Rockmount win 2 0 this morning vs the Everton lads, Ross after 2 mins and Willlie B pen after 90 ish. Tough game, fought well and defended superbly as usual.

Bring on Belgrove.

Fair Play, heard Everton had lots of the ball but rarely threatened and that Willie was MOTM.

some great ties there lads,i was on the paddy power website and they have still got some nice prices for the outright winner,these are the prices for the msl teams left in it i still fancy douglas at 5/1,rockmount 3/1,douglas hall 5/1,avondale 7/2,st mary's are 12/1

[Clifford]

Glad I took Mount at 7 to 1 then back before Chrimbo, the Avondale 12-1 is also looking good for anyone who took it.

[Footballer]

Just heard that D.Hall are missing 2 keys players for Sat due to suspensions. They got sent off last week vs Passage and automatically get a one match. Also D.hall were to play Blarney on Wed to get each player free for Sat but Avondale objected. Should be interesting come Sat but I'd back Avondale.
