In the grand scheme of things, how good are St Marys of Cork?
They have had a fairly decent season!

Anyone got directions to Kilteegan or where ever it is that Wayside play?

I'm an independant supporter of Rockmount and will be heading that way on my own on Sunday for the game. Any help appreciated.

No need for help now, I found their web site, very good one at that..

Wayside Celtic 0-0 Rockmount

Bangor Celtic 0-2 Douglas Hall

Mount got the draw they wanted and a great chance to make it an all Cork final.
Hall were 1 up at HT and a 2nd half penalty sealed the tie.
The penalty award should have led to a straight red also as should the kick that followed but a very lenient Dublin ref thought different.

Just in from a cracking day out in Dublin. Really enjoyed the game between Mount and Wayside, a game of two halves which was played at a cracking pace, between two very good sides. Mount were out of the blocks first and had the better of the opening exchanges. A Beechinor snap shot was well saved by the keeper from point blank range, unfortunatly the keeper got a bad shoulder injury in the act or the fall after it. Hope he get's well soon, he had to come off immediately. Mount tested the Wayside sub keeper twice in quick succession when Beech got above him to head a cross goalwards, but the ball fell away on the slope down by the dressing room end. The second chance a great ball in from Ross O Callaghan that Beech just got a toe to, but it wouldn't come back for him. Bar 3/4 corners for Wayside they produced nothing at all in the half. Different story second half, it was all Wayside bar about 10 mins in the middle of the half. Despite this the Rockmount keeper wasn't tested until 4/5 mins from the end when a flicked header was touched out for a corner. The front two for Wayside were very good, but they will know they were in a game tomorrow morning cos everywhere they went Weldon and Oldham went with them brilliantly and if they did go beyond the lads Willie Byrne was there to meet them. Exceptional defending. Great to have Kenneth Hoey back to full fitness, shame he got hacked down every time he skinned the full back. I counted 8 assaults on him.

Ref was good, Wayside are a very friendly club and a good day was had all round in my own personal opinion.

Ref was good,

Does that mean adequate protection was afforded him?
any date for the replay?
be great to have an all Cork final.

They did it well, varied the fouler......ref should have dealt with it with a yellow, but decided not to - not a game changing issue though. Overall he was good considering it was in DUblin is what I meant!

The weekend of the 27th is mentioned for the replay, should have been next Sunday, but Wayside have some lads going to Scotland with the Len Sen Lg or something.

was at the game myself yesterday, was much like clifford said, rockmount first half, wayside second half. neither team created any real chances to be honest, wyaside had a lot of the ball in the second half without doing too much, and mount deserved thier draw. one observation i did make was willie byrne was punting long ball most of the day which is most unlike him, any comments clifford? oh and i must mention that i thought the ref yesterday was the fairest dublin ref i have seen in a dublin/cork match, fair play to him.

I think that's fair comment on the game. Willie deffo was going long a lot more yesterday than normal, no idea if it was a game plan on Mount's behalf, but I reckon Wayside must take a pat on the back for leaving Ian Callaghan so deep and forcing the issue. Almost every clearance was closed down thus not allowing a whole lot of time on the ball.

Agreed about the ref, but what about the one where the sub keeper had his first kick out? I only remembered it a while ago. There is a ref on this site somewhere I believe, it might be worth seeking an opinion. What happened was the keeper scuffed the kick out (off the ground) from the left hand side of his six yard box to the right hand 18 yard line. He chased after it as Ross O Callaghan was charging in to roll it home, the keeper got there and laced it out of play. The ref awarded a retake of the kick out. Surely it's a Mount throw or a free for him kicking it twice? Anyone?

ya that was most unusual alright clifford, at first i thought he was giving a free out (which was harsh in itself) for ross pulling back the defender but the keeper took the re kick, i was standing near a cork referee and meant to ask him how it could have been but i forgot too your right about them leaving that lad callaghan deep he played very well as did the other callaghan up front, he's one quality player and a joy to watch!

if the ball doesnt go out side the 18 yard box its not in play afaik, it doesnt matter who touches it

I thought that, but what then is to stop a keeper knocking a ball to the edge of the box and then flaking it from there, gaining an 18 yard advantage or thereabouts. I know that's not practical, but there must be something stopping it happening. It's one I've not come across before to be fair.

the goal kick has to be retaken if the ball doesnt go outisde the box you see
