Cork AUL 2012/13

[sharpshooter]

Can anyone honestly see a cork side winning the fai junior cup this year?

Can't see any team even coming close to be honest.Can't see a cork side making it to the latter stages of the MJC either unless the draw is good to them

Obviously no cork team will come close but what a cork team could do is cause one or two upsets. The AUL isn't respected by other leagues so if a few of our sides got a couple of home draws then you would fancy them. Just avoid a few of the big boys :-)

Not a hope will any team from cork win a fai junior cup,seen sheriff yc play numerous times and they are some outfit,also the top teams in limerick are extremely strong with players being paid also a few other dublin teams really decent sides,in Msl junior teams are in a competition competing with there second team in the club,so most of the best players in the club will be at senior level,a bit easier for a aul club to assemble a really strong squad every now and again,also you hav to be extremely lucky with the draws you receive,without home draws very hard to progress,you just might have with big support a cut off a giant killing,but away from home different ball game.but any club that does get a run especially Msl team it's a great achievement for them,playing against the best sides in the country.

luck plays a part in all sport and you need it .but the ref has his job to do aswell.and i dont know about the cork refs when you draw the big guns it seems our refs go out of their way to show we do thing by the book .its the other way round when our teams go away.just my take on it.looking at the draw the aul will have 4 going forward and anything after is a bonus.

Obviously the refs can't take the blame for all the times cork teams are beaten at home in the fai junior as much as we would like to blame them. The facts are that a lot of the Dublin Waterford limerick and tipp teams don't have competition from other leagues for players therefore having the strongest team possible.in cork we have the msl Mjl and aul all taking players from eachother if there was one league then we might see a cork team lift the fai junior again

yes your right but it is what it is,also the big move to msl from aul of the other 3 might be a plus .there is now a so called big 5 in premier.

Greenwood 3 v 2 Macroom

Results getting better for Greenwood over the last few weeks. First loss in the league for Macroom. Anyone know anything about Greenwood? Players to watch?

Castleview won't sort out there probloms there a senior team so all there best players go senior a prime example of why cork teams have a very hard time trying to win the fai junior ! I don't know about classing pearse as a big 5 team were only up out of premier a so we need to establish ourselves first.

you have the players ..you play football and when player.s see that they will want to sign .always a plus if the clubs want to play or hump the high ball.lumping a ball gone to msl with 2 of the teams that went over to msl notice how i say over and not up.wilton play football a great club.my opinion.

Establish yerselves? In fairness tricks, I would say ye have done that. Beat coachford + beat killumney. If ye win on Saturday I would put ye as favourites for the league. Just my opinion. Team to bet definitely

Donie let's be fare we beat a killumney team short a few were up premier a few weeks so I can't understand why you would make us favourites.yes I think we're a good side but maybe teams are just underestimating us a dangerous thing todo with any team! Personnaly I would have killumney favourites

Just my opinion. Ye have the buzz + the hunger that a lot of teams wont have. 1st season syndrome in the top flight. Well if ye win sat I don't see any reason why ye wouldn't be favourites.

Thanks for the support in that but our lack of experience in big games could catch us out. Saturday will tell a lot now .blarney st are a very good side and not a lot being said about them thus year compared to other years so I reckon they have a great shout of picking up silverware
