That's the same system as the League I play in over here with 12 in the top division and 11 and 10 in the other 2. Most people here would prefer 2 Divisions with 15 or 16 in each.
A ten team division isn't great IMO.

The prob with 15 in a league here is that it wouldn't be finished til August with the MSL in charge, ha ha.Quote:

I for one am happy with it cos it might allow Mount a concerted effort to pull off both the league and FAI Intermediate cup. I'm sure Avondale agree.
Yeah, Dale would be ecstatic with a Rockmount double.;)Quote:

Two games to go in the season, for some stupid reason it's rumoured that the Final is on in Crosshaven next Friday night. Rubbish.
final of what ?Quote:

Nice touch too on the Echo the other night, lots of photos from the cup celebrations.
O Connell Cup final. Not sure who won between Douglas and Everton in other semi.Quote:

Only played 30 minutes a side with Blarneys huge fixture backlog.
John Caulfield played on goal too, clean sheet as well.
What was the story with Alan O'Connor? Rumours are he faces at least a year if not two on the sidelines, sent off with 9 minutes to go and the game ended at that point. I heard the gardai were also called to the incident.Quote:

Free comes in goes over bar, everyone turns to run outfield, same Carrig player trips Alan, they come face to face Carrig player throws head and Alan reacted. Ref blows it up, I expect Alan to get 3 match ban for straight red and maybe 5 or 6 more games on top of that.Quote:

Fair play to JC for going in goal, might stay there next year....
Was there a punch or a bop?, I heard a new rule came in at the start of last season that for a bop its a straight 12 months. Must be pretty bad if u reckon he could be facing 8 or 9 games all the same.Quote:

Only reckon on the extra games cos of the reaction at the end of the game. As mentioned above I was right behind the goal about 10 yards from it. Not a thing you want to see, but I've seen it happen many times in MSL, local GAA etc.Quote:

The champions finished their league campaign with yet another win, losing only 1 game all season. Sensational stuff indeed.
Steph Hurley and Ken Howey got the goals, Blarney made it interesting yet never really were going to win it.
Roll on Friday night and the O Connell cup final. Missing 6 of course for good measure!
6? that means poor Billy has to pick 11 from the 20 that are left so.:D But it is the start of the World Cup.Quote:

I heard Alan Weldon and Ken Howey were excellent in the Irish trials. How are the Dale lads getting along? I assume Marky Sull will be kept and Knowlsey dropped like the hot coles after his recent form. Was Dave the save up there in the end? Probably struggled badly if the training is intense up there.
sorry i left the result for so long but dublin aul beat a hungover west cork league 5-0 in tolka park last sundayQuote:

Hard luck, a great run to the final all the same eh? Good luck in it next season. Any advance on joining the MSL?Quote:

An abject performance in the shocking Crosshaven pitch by Rockmount saw the season end badly. Nothing went right on the night, keeper sent off as well near the end to add insult to injury.
A well deserved rest is on the way.
i will let you know but it will not be for a few years at least i would thinkQuote:

Looked like a pretty strong team ye had out apart from in goal, some nights things just don't go your way.
Fair Play to Everton though, nice to see the trophies shared around.
Well, it's that time again when the pints are put to the side and the hard graft off pre-season training kicks in. So what's the news, who's gone where and who signed who?
Mount back at it today as well. No new signings as of yet that I know of. Can't wait for them to get back at it, I'm fed up of sitting around watching bog ball and fighting golf for the summer.
Bring it on...
Mount vs Ballinhassig, Passage, Ringmahon in the Keane Cup group.
Taking on the mighty Castleview in the Donnie Forde cup I believe also.
Any more news on signings?
Come on lads, what's news?
Is Marky sull off to Douglas Hall or what?
Razor, confirm or deny!!!!
Come on Billy - who have you brought in or lost?
Mount have re-signed Alan Martin and everyone of the Championship winning team.
He is, silly lad.Quote:

Mount beat Mallow 3-1 yesterday, good workout with a good wind as usual.
Any other pre season results? Keane Cup next weekend, bring it on.
Castleview have Mayfield and Garrydufff in the Keane cup. New signings so far are Paddy O' Shea(keeper from 2004/5 season), Owen Geaney, Anthony Fenton and Jonathan Coco.Quote:

Anyone get last night's Echo, the Cork squad was on it apparently - I missed it.
Mainly Rockmount and View players, the usual Hoey, weldon, Slattery, Clifford, healy, Blake, Butt, Kearney, O'leary etc.Quote:

How did the rest get on?
It was just the Northside squad, i'm presuming the southside squad will be announced as soon as Patsy ventures across the river.Quote:

I hear Mount have added a new high profile coach to their staff.;)
Castleview won 4-1 at home against a very ordinary Garryduff side. Blake, Healy, Forde and Falvey.Quote:
