Killumney going well so far, wonder if they ll have the ability to put a run together early? Wonder how ll they ll fair against the stronger teams? They cruised through last two league campaigns without being fully tested, remember Wilton stuck a few passed them last year in the AOH, ny thoughts

Ya I saw them play and they were handy enough. Wilton are strong and they will be the ones to beat for sure but I'm just looking forward to two good teams play against each otherQuote:

Why shouldn't they be in it. They go into the draw like everyone else.

Good win for us today after last weeks disappointment. Overall i think we deserved the win and played some good football with a couple of well worked finishes. More importantly, 3 points.
Pitch was in great nick, credit to the guys out there.
Didn't think premier teams had too. Relax, asked a question like... We not allowed ask questions Nah..??
No prob with that bud, just wondered why you questioned Kinsale when there are numerous other premier and premier a teams in the prelim draw. no panic.
We were disapointed in how we played and were second best on the day. Results over the last fortnight indicate Prem A maybe a Coca Cola Championship again!! Will pass on your congrats to our man Owl. I actually complimentd him before the game tooQuote:

On the game big wind swirling around in the Fairfield today we had it behind our back in the 1st half and took the lead in the 30 min when Wayne (Docker) Doherty smashed a great header from a Christy Bullman flick on into the top corner
Pearse went at us in the 2nd half but we defended brilliantly with David lynch our centre half having another man of the match performance clearing heading tackling everything himself and Graham Healy , Keith Callaghan and Damien Rea really playing well for us today.
Myself getting sent off in the last 10 mins after a second yellow made it harder for the team!!...... but the defence really held strong and got us a well deserved 3 points...thank god!
Sorry overthehill. Only had quick look at it, didnt even notice bud...
Disapointing result for us yesterday away to Leeds. After a good Mossie campaign and a great performance last week to beat Greenwood 3-0 we were very poor yesterday. Gifted Leeds 2 soft goals and didn't trouble their keeper enough. Away to Carrig Saturday in the Munster Junior Cup. Will need a much better performance down there.
Interesting couple of weeks so far, Kinsale look to be hitting form after a shaky mossy Linnane, over the hills Killumney have started superbly, Springfield looking strong in premier a, Glen Celtic and promoted Watergrasshill are flying, Douglas Hall starting where they left off last season. Even at this early stage a lot of these teams look like the teams to beat.

Springer’s are very like Killumney in that they have won 2 leagues on the spin & I fully expect them to go up again this year.
It's early days for Watergrasshill and Glen Celtic but I believe that if you get out in front early & not drop too many points then it can prove an uphill battle for other teams to catch you as so many teams have shown in the last few years.
Douglas could very well surprise a few people friday night & dump another top team out of another high profile cup competition. There could also be another upset out in Clashduv Road between Greenwood & Kinsale even though I thought Pearse and Greenwood weren't aloud play there anymore.
I don't think Douglas Hall doing well is a "big" surprise - looking back over the last few years they've been very strong, just missed out on Division 1 title for the last few years - AOH 1/4 final last year, semi the year before, out of town in Munster Junior last year, runners up in AUL 1A last 2 years. Could be one of the games of the weekend against Coachford... I guess what is most impressive is that their Senior side, their MSL Junior side and their AUL side (3rd team!) are all playing at a very high level.Quote:

I totally agree with you Innish but from I heard a lot of the players that missed out on the league last year got fed up & moved to the Munster junior side. Now I could be wrong but that's what I heard. Also Coachford are Premier while Douglas are in 1a so the latter are the underdogs. Plus if u read the comment I made I said they could surprise a few friday night in a 1 off game not surprise people with their league form. Douglas are always strong at any level and few teams do well on their astro.Quote:

played them up their last year with macroom in the mjc tough team to beat up their on that pitch ended up losing 4-3.Quote:

Douglas Hall ( Division 1 ) side play all their home games on Friday night on the Astro surface Innish. They are a fine side and are well used to playing on this surface. We played them two seasons ago and won 1-0 up there so hopefully we can continue on our winning ways Friday night.Quote:

Junglegym,
Thanks for confirmation - I wasn't certain that they played all their home games on a Friday night.
Innish, they are gone, looks like a bye for ye!
Few upset's on the cards over the weekend I'd say....
Ya I was always a big fan of Daly's. Great player, usually takes no more than two touches of the ball and never gives it away. Best midfielder in the AUL in my eyes anyway. Played against him a few times in the past. As for Wilton they play ball all the time so I'll always appreciate that.Quote:

Anyone know who Leeside playing this weekend???
Friendly vs Greenmount in Murphys farm at 11 am tomorrow. Very long injury list so a mix of A+B with one or two foreign imports
Cheers boo. Was out at your "b" match yesterday in knockavilla as a neutral. Think Ye deserved more than what Ye got. Plus the standard of referee was very poor and even seemed a bit bios. Sent one of your players off, probably deserved but the knockavilla player should of went too.Quote:

Surely if both strike each other both should go irrespective of who hit first??
What upsets were u expecting? From the results yesterday, it seems most went the way of the favourites. Plus can't see any shocks happening this morning either.Quote:

I'm only back in the country 3weeks so no didn't follow any of your results. Seen Ye last year alright wasn't impressed but this is a different year I suppose. Have Ye brought in a few or what cause looked like Ye needed a few players to be a good team. As for Carrig, they must be disappointed to be out so early..Quote:
Originally Posted by K.C.

Wasnt impressed last year?? Won a very competitive 1A. According to a few on here we were in the running for team of the year!!!Quote:

To be honest it could have been worse. 2nd half we dominated possession and had a few chances but it just wasnt to be. We were missin a few as stated by a poster but not going to use it as an excuse. Disappointed to be out.
"should have won by more".........i think not.
Team of the year?? Don't know about that. As "the owl" said should of won by a few more....... I think not. I agree with him was talking to a few at the match and was told the same. Carrig never took there chances that's the difference. Well said owl...Quote:

Or the one where the ref blew for offside after Jos rounded their keeper when he was 5 yards on. Doesn't matter, good game. They'll be sorry to be knocked out. If they were missing a few they'd be some side at full strength cause the 11 they had were handy as it was. On to next week when their rivals Springfield come to town.Quote:
