FAI Junior Cup 2011/12

thought pike were deserved victors today.they really upped there game in the second half and won nearly all there personal battles.thought the back 4 were all good.enright had a great game as did boyle and mullins.neville looked very assured in goal.the early goal gave pike the upper hand but boro were unlucky not to equalise twice in first half.thought the ref wasnt great considering he had 2 linesmen.some very strange decisions.how he gave pike a peno and didnt give the boro one for walters getting totally taken out of it il never know.there was no way one was a penalty and the other wasnt.changed the game completely and pike never looked like losing after the went 2 up.thought kavanagh really took control of things in the second half.pike will go very close again this year.the best team won on the day.think boro can feel a bit hard done by though on afew of the refereeing decisions

charleville 3-2 corbally (AET) played on an excellent pitch in charleville in an absolute gale.corbally goals by dave morris and fergal o connell.all in all a poor performance by us.dominated most of the game and didnt take our chances.took our eye off the ball for 10mins and let charleville back into the game.corbally reduced to 10 men on 80mins for a professional foul.charleville took there chances well and in the end wanted it more.best of luck to them in the next round

Mungret 1-0 Star (aet)

Star dominated the first half and should have been 4 or 5 up at the break.

Mungret came into it in the 2nd half which was fairly level.

90 mins finished 0-0, and in ET both team had chances, when Mungret scored from a set piece, only for Star to have 2 chances cleared off the line in the last 2 mins of ET.

"4 or 5 up at the break" - are you serious abbey ?? What chances had ye?? Not saying we dominated first half but ye created nothing. The only real chance of a poor first half was when we hit crossbar from a corner?
Overall poor game with star shading it up to full time but I thought in extra time we looked the only winner with 4 or 5 good chances.

[Round Tower]

Killala V Ballyglass
Killala walkover, it sad that they could not field a team for once a great club,hope it not a sign of a reat club for many seasons

[hotspur]

At the match today i think the best team won at ease on the day i hope there is no boro bashers but pike looked so much in control from start to finish, on this forum i have heard shane clarks name so much and i think today proved hes not a league of ireland player he can score goals against the average teams today against pike he didnt have a shot at goal, so much bull**** about 1 player is hard to take when you look at the pike forward line who ran themselves into the ground, i am sure he will score 7 next week but against the best defender in limerick he didnt i think boro need to re think.

Carew park 2 kilfiane 1, Albert slattery, mange,

Was not there but from what I heard carew were poor. A lot of players rested but well done to kilfinane made a good of it. BEst of luck to them for the rest of the season.

you must be takin the **** start of the FAI and yer resting players..show some respect vodafone ye nearly got turned over..

[prawnsandwich2]

possible shocks this week-end???
charleville to beat corbally(hard to beat down there)
hill celtic to beat wembley(struggling for numbers at the minute)
outside chance for c/lish versus balla(remember i said outside chance)
and herbertstown vrs kilmallock

two out of four...don't know the results of the other two.
pike deserved their win yesterday....thought the difference between the teams was the pike defence dominated.
enright was excellent followed closely by mullins.
agree with the earlier comment about the penalty shouts,but still think the better team won

[prawnsandwich2]

fairview won 10 or 11 nil yesterday.
glenview gave there all in fairness to them.
thought a lot of the young lads,deano, turner, reddan etc. had fine outings.
hopefully things can pick up from here.
also hope that the young lads are given chances to establish themselves in the team now.
did here also that a well known player has or is signing.
will update when the player is signed.

pike did deserve the win though.
take a very good team to stop them.
tough one on the boro.another one going in the next round with regional and the view playing each other.

[prawnsandwich2]

Was at the match yesterday best team won handy on the day.(score could have been 10 2 to pike )mullins had clake in his pocket all day pikes back line are class young dunny had a great game v waters neville in goal did very well could of went home in second half pike man for man better all round the pitch.bad form also out of the boro to charge €5 to watch the match i know they have a lot of overheads to pay but €5 is to muc. i hope my kids dont look for cones off the whipy man they have gone up to €10.00 for a 99.

bit harsh on the boro...better team won but 10-2???
as for the fiver,i am inclined to agree with you there.
but the boro are not the only club who up their prices for big clashes.
think in this day and age 3 or 4 euro is enough,with no charge for OAP'S and schoolboys.
also think the people that are not working should only be asked for half that.
lord knows there are enough of those people around these days thanks to bertie and co.

pike did deserve the win though.

tough one on the boro.another one going in the next round with regional and the view playing each other.
