what a crazy game,exciting stuff in terms of what happened,but no defending ,loads of mistakes,no team capable of stringing few pass,s together,at least 7 or 8 goals from corners and frees barely a standout player,except maybe meehan for caherdavin and byrnes for granvile[he scored a cracker],the sub? for caherdavin who scored 2 goals made a difference.tbf caherdavin showed more hunger for it,this particular granvile outfit,on tonights display would be cannonfodder for premier teams.Quote:

Not great football but great entertainment...well done Caherdavin
Congradulations to Caherdavin on winning the cup on Friday night. On the game itself there is so much to report given the 10 goals scored and then the pens which followed extra time so I won't go into the detail except to say that from a Granville perspective we were disappointed to loose it. Having said that if we were in Caherdavin's position we would have taken it so again congrats to them. On the season so far I think anyone from Granville at the beginning of the season would take where we are right now i.e. top of the league and runners up in the cup. Sea Bird, in relation to your comment "need a lot of players to stay in the premier league next season".....how can you even say that when we haven't been promoted ? also, even if we do get there how often does a team begin a Premier league season with the same panel they finish a Div 1a season with ? my point is our panel could be stronger or weaker than it currently is, who knows what will happen in the close season. Why don't you give a little praise to the teams in Div 1a that are working hard to gain promotion or avoid relegation ? Next up in the league for us is Caherdavin away next Sunday and we will be ready and up for it. Should be a good one considering the events of last Friday night. This is what Junior football is all about.
Very well said Gerrard1. I think in terms of the game itself, Granville started way better than us and we looked very nervous and we went 3-1 down after 20 minutes. It was only then did we start to play the way we can, looking very dangerous when we were going forward. I must say I really feared for us when we went 3-1 down. But we really showed some great determination to score that goal before half time to make it 3-2. After the break we were definitely the better team and it was Granville's turn to get nervous. The amount of mistakes from both teams can only be attributed to the fact that anything can happen in the cup!!! Be very surprised if there'll be 10 goals on Sunday in the league :)Quote:

We secured promotion on Sunday morning with a hard fought 1 nil win over Caherdavin at the Greenhills. The pace of the game was hectic for the first half hour and we scored the only goal of the game when a free kick from Cian Byrnes was spilled by the home keeper and Greg Barrett followed up to score close in. Both teams made changes to their line ups from the Cup final. We had some great chances to increase our lead with 2 notable one on ones with the Caherdavin keeper and we also hit the crossbar 3 times (one of which was not really an opportunity created by us as the ball bounced right in front of the home keeper and he did well to push the ball onto the crossbar and over). Caherdavin were a threat mainly from set pieces and they had a one on one of their own but our keeper Rob Power made an excellent save. Great credit is due to our panel of players for responding in the way they did for this game given the cup final defeat a couple of weeks ago. The full panel on the day was....Rob Power, John Togher, Jeff Ryan, Ollie Kenny, John Cahill, Brian O'Doherty, Liam Quinn, Greg Barrett, Stephen Cahill, Ken O'Donoghue, Cian Byrnes, Mark McDonnell, Neil McGourty and Niall Doran.
Congratulations lads. Well deserved.Quote:

An early goal gave us a vital win. Caherdavin battered us in the second half and must be said were unlucky but great to see our lads respond like this after our cup loss to them. Caherdavin missed a pen in what turned out to be the last kick of the game In the 7 th min of injury time.
Dromore 5 Pike B 2
Tough luck Caherdavin,better off in 1a next year anyway,not good enough for premier football imoQuote:

if you can get up,add some good players and beat the teams around you,you have a chance.its almost a two tier league.who'd have thought dines would be where they are now?Quote:

I was part of the Dromore team that went up a few years ago and the abuse we took on this was unreal. We'd be the worst team to ever play in the premier, we wouldn't get a point, we wouldn't score a goal etc. etc. In the end, we took a few real hidings, were very unlucky not to get something from Pike, Fairview and the Boro, had a few good wins and got relegated on the last day of the season with 14 or 15 points. So we weren't good enough for the premier but I was glad I got the chance to play in it for a year with a club that I've played all my junior football with.
The same would go for a load of that Caherdavin team if they went up. A few of them have been great clubmen who could have went elsewhere (Judgie for example) and it'd be great to see them get a chance to play in the premier with the club. If they finish second they'll get the chance and if they don't they won't. And if they finish in the top ten of the premier they'll be good enough for it, if they don't they won't. No point worrying about it in the meantime.
We Wembley have only won 4 games in the league this year,when in 1a a couple of years ago we won 17 out of our 22 league games!!Huge step up lads in all fairness,thank god caherdavin didn't win last evening.....half of our squad is from out there,would have a job holding onto them if the davin lads went up!!
Exactly, a couple of additions can make a big difference to a team going up. Most people watching teams in 1A forget that they are allowed to strenghten during the off season as well. So ya at the moment the teams in 1A that look to be going up might not be strong enough but it will depend on who they gain and also lose in the off season.Quote:

We've still to win 3/4 games to guarantee promotion it's not over by any means, on Caherdavin, they were the better side last night, they play with incredible intensity any time iv played against them anyway, and as a team fight like fxck for each other. They would do fine I'd think in premier, if they got up. Plus as ye said the catchment they have a lot of players would come back ti them, how many balla Wembley players etc came from Caherdavin??Quote:

Are fairview relegated after last nights result. It's between dromore balla and Shannon for 2nd bottom I'd say. Can't see Summerville getting caught for 2nd IMO
any team that comes up deserves a shot at premier and if they train hard for the season and add a few players any side has a chance of staying up..very important that when you suffer a few defeats that players dont walk away and throw in the towel..
Brian finnegan,calla,Gary Joyce n Dave Quinn have been with wembley since minors so don't think they'd sign for caherdavin.last time wembley got relegated pat sheehan and Barry dillon stayed with them so don't know would you see them signing with caherdavinQuote:
