Carrigaline beat Blarney 4-1 tonight in Ballea Park...Blarney a full strength team by all accounts!! Blarney looking shakey before start of season, Carrigaline apparently played excellent football! Some nice draws from keane cup. Avondale/Rockmount should be a cracker!!!
Some good games in the Keane cup coming up.
Blarney were no where near full strength.They had 3 Juniors,1 youth and they were missing at least 8 from their starting team from last year.
Carrigaline fairly impressive. Could well come up again this year.
rockmount goals to 1 winners against fermoy today.wondering if u were at it and if so how do mount look.heard gar cambridge,al o connor and ed buckley got 2,other goal scored by a 16 year old called james.
supposed to be 5 1.post directed at clifford.
Wasn't there yesterday due to work commitments, but yeah we lost 5-1. Couldn't tell ya who played well or scored for them, but we had no keeper so had to put a make shift lad in so that didn't help.
2-1 at half time after we took the lead. Happy enough with a lot of aspects of how we performed as we had a back four with two 17 yr olds and two 20 yr olds. Future is where we're at now.
Saw the game..premier champions v a first division team that was missing a good few players...pointless...neck sore today from watching it.I wonder whyQuote:

Naw I'm sure as one of the most decorated managers of all time really couldn't give a monkeys tbf.
And I hope that Alan goes on to have as proud a record, I wish him all the best (til we get there that is!!).
Ballincollig away tonight for us. Still working with 12 but Mick Devine along tonight so see how we go with a keeper this time.

mount played 3 4 3 and played excellent football.some of the goals scored were exceptional and there wasn't any goal scored as the result of a long hopeful ball.all mounts good play came down the right wing and some of the deliveries were top class.could of scored 10 or even more.that said fermoy under strength but mount only had 13 and 4 or 5 of those wont come close to starting the keane cup.
Hi lads. Any games on around tonight?
Beat Ballincollig 8-3 last night. Some good football played. Roll on the keane cup.
was at game last night. fermoy looked very good. played nice football and scoring plenty of goals. 1st division going to be very interesting and in my view i believe fermoy are contenders again..Quote:

Avondale have signed Danny Long, Tony Tynan, Keith O'Sullivan, Brain Murphy, Eoin Forde, Willie Heffernan and Alan Carey.
I dont know the two Casement lads (Tynan and O'Sullivan) but judging by the other 5 they have signed they are going to be very strong this year.
Douglas didnt comment much on signings but they have lost a few with Bruton being the biggest loss.
Rockmount have lost a few aswell with O'Riordan, King and Welsh and it seems that Ross O'Callagahan and Philip Cunningham are going to miss some of the season. They have signed Thomas Hughes, Paul Condon and Ian McConville.
Any more news on who other teams have signed, we are at the stage now that players have actually signed forms
tynan wasn't a casement player,he played with mayfield last season and avondale before that,his a good ball playerQuote:

Seems all s not well up in mayfield ,seems howard coakley was asked to play right midfield ,threw a strop wouldn't even chase his man back and who ever they were playing scored from it and howard was whipped after 12 minutes
seen heffernan play .poor to be honest too light, looks very unfit
Casement Seniors have folded the Junior AUL 2 side are the only team in the club this season very sad times...
Thats sad for Casement - hopefully they'll bounce back soonQuote:

Pre-season game: Crosshaven 1 College Corinthians 2 - Crosshaven 1 up for 70 minutes before Corinthians stepped up a gear as Crosshaven visibly tired.
just heard garyduff pulled out of the keane cup,our lads were due to play garyduff this weekend.i don't know why they pulled out
Probably have no team - I heard that last season was gonna be there last & was surprised to see there names down for the League to be honest. They have been firefighting up there for the past three seasons.Quote:

Wouldnt think the Hall would be too worried about who they lost, apparently beat Cork City in a friendly, quite impressively...Think Mark Murphy will be a big loss, other players won't make much of a difference, Bruton and drennan were only fringe players really!! Were you at the crosshaven/corinthians match ballsac??? Were crosshaven good, because going by last seasons teams, Corinthians would have crushed them!!
i was told monday that they were having a big meeting monday night about pulling out there senior team,i didn't hear the out come of that meeting.casement are gone ballinhassig and garyduff could be going,won't the 2nd division be a joke with only 6 or 7 teams in it,i think it should go back to 2 divisions and have 12 or 13 in each division,18 games isn't enough league games in my opinionQuote:

mr money bags pratt must be broke so hence garyduff are gone :)
Jesus lads if all above is true, isn't it time the leagues looked really hard at whats happening. AUL is the same they've lost a lot of teams this year as well. Is it lack of interest or too costly for people to play?
Sad, maybe they've gone to the Shipping League? They've added 6 extra teams and are gone back to 3 divisions.Quote:

We are lucky to have a brilliant and competitive league so why not have more emphasis on it. Good luck to all Clubs because I feel this year it finally has proper MSL PREMIER CLUBS with the right traditions and attitudes. Good to be back this weekend with action. Cant wait to hear the results coming in. Perhaps we should all make an effort to get the results up asap. All the GOSSIP is over, its now football time!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Thinks having 2 divisions is a bit drastic as of yet, but if this trend continues, the MSL will have no other option really! Delighted to see garryduff gone, no heart or commitment in that so called 'club' at all. Can't wait for action to resume this weekend, should be some good keane cup games on show, giving us an early indication of how teams are ready for the new season!!Quote:

Can't wait for Sun morn. What are Glasheen like? We ve added Mick Devine, Tim Kiely and Gavin Quirke to our squad, but lost slatts, Alan McCormack and Darren Cody.
Is that Timmy Kiely ex Cork City ??Quote:

Yip. Trained away with us last few weeks and signed on tue after scoring 2 v ballincollig the week before. Tasty player, needs match time.Quote:
