Agree, there could be a huge clearout at Mount after this season, players will only play for so long without League winners medals, its the bread and butter.Quote:

I jest.
3-2 win to Rockmount. 2 nil up and cruising lost concentration, terrible pen awarded by ref left Ringmahon back into it. Steph Hurley with strike to win it.
Dale play Castleview this Thursday, game the weekend also and then Rockmount tomorrow week.
Fair play to Avondale on winning the Intermediate Cup, they had to do it the hard way with alot of away trips, so well deserved!! The league is next on the radar, Castleview Thursday night. I'm not one for making excuses but the 'View are well short with injuries etc, expect a Junior team to show up. So I reckon it's going to come down to next week's game with Rockmount, in a winner takes all clash, Sounds very interesting indeed!! It would be some achievement to win the League and Intermediate Cup all in one year.....Quote:

Well Done Rockmount.
Just in from a shocking night at Rockmount Park. A scrappy 3-1 win in horrible conditions softened the lack of feeling in my toes I had driving home.
The return of Johnny Busteed made up for the injury that Mark Clifford was carrying. The depth of the Rockmount squad has stood them in good sted this season. Indeed Buster scored the first after 13 mins, a nice bit of control in the box allowed him finish comfortably. Alan O Connor made it two before half time, but a gutsy Carrig got one back immediately in their fight to avoid the drop. Alan O Connor with a second 15 from the end sealed a gritty win for the Mount.
A night for gut's and heart saw all 11 Rockmount players give it everything and a man of the match would be impossible to call. Maybe the keeper for his 2 top drawer saves early on that kept Carrig at bay were the turning points, but I couldn't call it.
Who know's, Rockmount might just be in the title hunt after all, eh??? :rolleyes:
Can I see the table that confirms that? We still need points don't we?Quote:

LaLaLaLaLa MiMiMiMiMi, I can hear her warming up though. Avondale need to win all remaining 4 games including the one against Rockmount and also hope Blarney can turn over the Mount also. On current form I can't see this happening.Quote:

I must doff my cap to Castleview however for putting up such a good display last night, after Billy saying it was going to be an understrength side I must admit to being a little disappointed. However, they did the business and that must be a good sign for their future.
Roll on next Thursday.
If only the other teams could afford such luxuries?Quote:

I think as has been proven by Rockmount in the last number of years, its extremely difficult to be successful in the Intermediate Cup and in the league in the same season. Rockmounts early exit from the Intermediate Cup this season meant their focus of previous years moved to the league whereas Dales moved in the opposite direction.
I get €2,000 a week for supporting, so yeah I know where your coming from all right. The club of the people we sure are....Quote:

Beamish Stout Munster Senior League:
Beamish Stout 1st Div play-off: Mayfield Utd 2 Tramore Athletic 1.
Beamish Stout Senior Prem. Div:
College Corinthians 4 Ringmahon Rangers 1;
Avondale Utd 2 Midleton 0;
Douglas Hall 1 Carrigaline Utd 4.
Avondale back in pole position?
Tonight's the night for Avondale at home to Rockmount. Hoping for a Mount win, will take a Mount draw. Razor really is on hols I take it?
Anyone free in the area should go down, it will be awesome.
Post the score when you can Clifford please. I'm home next weekend so might try and take a game in if there's any left? My friend plays for Corinthians but I think they're finished after last night.
Will do DFA. If the result is positive for Mount it'll be late and slurred!!
Late and slurred as promised.
Champions MSL 2005/2006 Rockmount AFC.
A 2-1 win against a determined, but ultimately lacking Avondale side. Rockmount yet again dispatched their main title rivels with aplomb. Pat Keane after a minute and Steph Hurley a min after Dale's equaliser sealed the title for the Mount.
Awesome stuff. Goodnight.
Cheers Clifford, well done to Rockmount. A weekend of celebrating no doubt...
Mount favourites already for next season and can only throw it away now ;) :D
Ha ha, thanks very much and obviously College are the favourites at this stage for next year....:D :pQuote:

Back tanned and refreshed.
Must say was extremely disappointed on Thursday night when the text came through (Not as disappointed as Friday nights text after City conceding late) but if you had promised Dale the Intermediate Cup at the start of the season then they'd have bitten your hand off.
Rockmount were the most consistent team over the season and deserve the title congrats and well done.
Dale must now play Carrigaline, a loss for Dale will mean Leeds get relegated.
What to do ?????:D
Lucky you, could do with a break myslef. Anywhere nice?Quote:

Please let Carrig win, please please please......Leed to go down? Sweetttt.
Costa Del Sol for the week, it was a nice break.Quote:

Didn't realise 3 teams were relegated, that's a bit much for a 12 team division isn't it?:eek:
So who got promoted from the 1st?
And Rockmount to play Carrigaline on Thurs in O Connell Cup semi final.Quote:
