balla and pike final i think. pike should beat clonmel sunday will be great game of football
Having seen both Pike & Clonmel, I think that it will be a tough match. Might not be the prettiest to watch , will need a strong ref and decent condition(no wind). I will have to go with pike on this one..
To the pike players..... be careful of the niggly off the ball crap from your oponents..
:mad: in response to the niggly off the ball crap, if you can't play mind games then don't play at all!! obviously u saw the janesboro game with town and no doubt you will say that janesboro were totally innocent on the day, town have pedigree in cup competitions like this over the last few years(have been finalists past 3 years) so obvioulsy it takes a lot more than just ball playing to get you there, maybe its lack of stomach for a fight on your behalf which is certainly not towns fault! Hopefully it'll be a good game though!
are you saying they cheat?
no not that they cheat just that are able to outbattle opponents when it comes down to a tight(physical if you like) game thats all!! this off the balll crap as stated above is bull, why single town out when it goes on every week in football, its just stinks of biterness is all!
Just because some teams CHEAT at all levels of football every week does not take away from the fact that it is CHEATING. The mindset that you espouse is the winning at all cost even at the expense of the game. i am not being bitter about the clonmel V boro tie. as stated previously on this site the better team on the day won and scored one of the best goals i have seen all season anywhere,but some of the "outbattling" by clonmel was a disgrace. a player was punched off the ball among other carry on. If you think that this is the way fwd for football, good for you. I will agrre to differ with you on that point. I take it that clonmel will be wearing angelic white on sunday!!!By the way no Tipp Officials this week....

I played down in Clonmel a few years ago with Mungret in the Munster junior quarter final. To say that we were shafted on the day by the Tipp officials would be an understatement. We had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside and there were a lot of other dodgy decisions given against us. We went to the pub after and to rub salt in the wounds the three officials were thick as thieves below in the corner drinking with the Clonmel players and management.Quote:

pike's discipline is second to none. Can't see them losing their heads with off the ball incidents. Think it will be the other way around myself. They are well used to playing the likes of Ballynanty and carew park two teams well renowned for this type of thing.
whatever about discipline it is usually around this stage of these competitions that pike have struggled in the last few years, last years fai, this years fai, wouldn't be susprised to see clonmel turn them over but i don't think they will do it by being overly physical, the way to beat pike is to run at them with pace like and play football, as if it becomes a tight physical battle they invariably come out on top. on another note maymount could be a good outside bet have been knocking around for a few years now at the business end of these competitions.

All on the day folks should be a tight game, can't see the winners of this one not winning it out.

Limerick.I reckon Leeside are a good bet, semi-finalists last year, tough game against Peake Villa next, if they come through that they have another home tie. Any official odds in any bookmakers?
i reckon peak villa will do a job with a team or two left. i dont think pike will win it. they dont have enough people to score goals.clonmel r strong but if they are bad at travelling there in trouble cause the pike field is a tough place to score goals.
towelie to be honest limerick propbably the best junior league at the moment
Doesnt say much for the rest of Ireland so. The standard has really dropped in Limerick compared to about 5 years ago. None of the teams in the league are outstanding. Pike are probably the best from a bad bunch.Quote:

In fairness i don't think any of the limerick teams can be considered favourites this weekend
clonmel are a class team and have been for a good few years, how they haven't got to an FAI final is beyond me
lisselton have home advantage and seem to be a very strong team
and maymonth are defo favourites against corbally despite their recent excellent form
so the possiblity of an all limerick final seems to be a long shot but we live in hope
Maymount are a fairly poor side lads, seen them a few times this year and I would be suprised if they win away in Limerick.Quote:

i agree,winners of pike and clonmel to go on and lift the cup,2 good teams,should be an entertaining game
Great win for Clonmel Town in Limerick today. 1-1 aet; Town win on Penalties,
Anyone at it. Report? Good game? Fair result?
well Connie out of the two big cup's.Ye only have the league left and it would seem the the cracks are getting bigger in the great pike wall:p
I'd stick to worrying about getting on the Carew Park team if I was you, you cork langer
Pike fought hard yesterday. Were unlucky to go out on penalties again. Clonmel just about shaded it on the day though
Clonmels left winger yesterday excellent best junior player I've seen in a long long time
Leeside won on penalties yesterday. Tight game again just about deserved to win though.
Is this the semi-final lineup?
Leeside v Lisselton
Clonmel v maymount
