Cork AUL 2009/10

New to this guys but have been in AUL football for over 30yrs and have been reading the posts all season. From my view the league tables do not lie at the end of the season. Dont go blaming bad luck or referees in the last game or two for being relegated or not going up. Game 1 or game 5 or game 10 are all just as important. To those who won leagues and gained promotion - congratulations you would all have worked damn hard. To those who are going down - refocus, keep the players that will give it a lash again, get rid of the moaners, the fancy dans, and those who go missing when the hard graft is required. Silly season now starts on the transfer front- roll on August and we get going again!

Well done Killumney on their impressive win - Hard luck to the two Park sides todaym but I'm glad Leeside didn't end season empty handed...

Ya, happy that Leeside won also although tough for Park on both counts.

Anyone know if they had their full team out for it? ANyone at it?

leeside had very few regulars from what i could see. they had three of their C squad playing including a 16 year old goalkeeper, who plays on the wing on the forementioned team. he's a class keeper to be fair though. Ian Barrett started on the bench, while Colman Coady didnt even tog out. It was a mixture of squads. The second goal was a brilliant finish, thought Park could've done better for the first goal but I guess the greasy ball and surface made it hard for the keeper to get a solid hand to the ball.

Cheers Padjoe, thats good going so in fairness.

Ya Innish,
Leeside deserved something out of the season but must still be gutted to lose the league and AOH. Saw Kilumney demolish Park last evening. Kilumney were very strong this season having picked up some good players from the fallout at Ballincollig, couple of ex senior league guys incl. Park did well to reach the final but Kilumney looked like a premier A side as they will be next yr. They will surprise a few up there too. Congratulations to them!

Congratulations Leeside and unlucky Park
To go all season in local competitions and lose only 1 game over 90 mins is some achievement for Leeside.
We look forward to doing battle again next season :ball:

Not a lot new from the AUL AGM last night. Former ref Denis Crowley has joined the commitee. Nobody wants to be fixtures secretary so could be fun next yr again. Tony Fitz nominated for vice-pres of the F.A.I so congratulations to him. Proposal from Premier teams to start the season with Mossy Linnane Cup and well deserved praise for Barry Peelo for his coverage.

Disappointing turn out again at the AUL AGM last night - had to attend as our secretary was unable to! Why dont clubs attend the delegate meetings?? I never understand that!

i suppose for some clubs its a long way to cork at 8 o clock on a winters night( still should be a good turn out for AGM) they trialed an idea a few years back of having separte ones away from the city i taught it worked well. i know alot of the clubs are from the city but they should look at having around 25% of them outside the city i think it would work well

Fruice, I believe one club who were actually hosting one of the regional meetings didnt show for it!!

Joke alright Horse. Maybe the AUL should fine clubs that miss 2 or more meetings.

you know i cant remember its going back probaly 5 years i just assumed they were there. but i suppose that says it all it would only cause to much hassle if you had to attend a certin percentage of meetings. i know a couple of years back the aul had ashot of match balls at the meeting and were going to do a draw for them there was so little clubs there that most of them ended up geting one

Why have delegate meetings at all? Do they serve a purpose? The Tipperary Southern League, which is ran very efficiently, never has a delegate meeting. Who wants to travel to a meeting in the depths of winter and listen to everybodys problems?

Nononsense while i can see your point i feel delegate meetings give clubs a chance to air their views! And its not always problems people are talking about ;-)

Using that logic.............why have a parliament at all in any country?
Who wants to listen to everyones problems - why are you reading other peoples issues on the site then?

Eh, maybe to try and offer help with other peoples problems!!!

Nononsense may not be an appropriate name!

Oli came up with an idea - lets say 8 delegate meetings in a season. City teams must make six, county teams must make 4. Any less and fines.

Another idea is restrict the Team of the Month to teams who show up. Its an hour a month lads.

I missed the AGM due to work in Dublin, but, over the years many good things have come up in the meetings and many questions have been answered. We had a delegate there though.

Hey nononsense.

Well taken - well responded
