Best of luck to all the Cork sides this weekend as well but just a word of caution , make yerselves very familiar with the Fai junior cup rules, after the 5th round they become very specific in releation to where and how games are stagged. I wouldnt like to see a fantastic result over turned on a technicallity, an trust me the heavyweight sides left in this competition will explore every option if something went wrong on the pitch this weekend. Best of luck again to everyone.
Hi Guys
We are down to play Glen Celtic this Saturday in FAI, There is a possibility the game could be moved to an astro turf field, anyone have any idea where this field and what s it like?
Have you been out there recently? Its soft like most of cork but the pitch is in good condition. Still don't think any team should give up home advantage but what can you do. Talks are that they will go to the farm. If they get the main pitch in there its a great surface.Quote:

Home pitch advantage is massive in these games. I'm sure showers could be sorted within a 5 mile radius of the pitch??
great post ...to much talk on change of venue.s .you earn home draw take it .mini bus to hotel or in killumneys case a health and fitness club.few pints after great day had by all.it should be a great weekend some great games on .best astro of all mayfeild community school top class.Quote:

The pitch nearly cost them against Glenthorn? Would love to know who said that. Pitch is in good knick(for a farmers field as people would put it). What happened was some livestock managed to break through the fence + it was covered in ****. Tom long said it needed to be removed + it was. Other than that the pitch was + is always up to a good standard. The lads were just not good enough against Glenthorn. As for the farm. Lets be honest here, its a bonus for AUL teams to get out of cork. Can a cork side win it? No chance. All I know is that it will be a good game of ball Sunday on a lovely surface. I hope to see ye sat tricks. That should be a cracker.Quote:

To the best of my knowledge you don't need to have showers to stage an fai game,pitch must be roped off ok,I remember pike going to play ballymun in fai in Dublin and the game was on in the middle of the flats,balbutcher lane I think it was called and the only shower they got was a shower of rain haha.Pike also went to Oneill park in cork to play grattan and grattan sorted out showers for them,but they are not conditional to have them.lots of clubs in limerick have moved games to other clubs pitches in the past if their own is unplayable to keep them from travelling the next day,makes perfect sense to me.
I was talking about more than the actual match when talking about home advantage. These cup ties can be big events in communities and can lead to new members, better club spirit etc. moving them can take this effect away....just my opinion. You must be on your own in thinking home advantage isn't important in these games. If I was involved in a team and we drew Pike or Sheriff I know where I would prefer to be playing it... Good luck to all teams this week home or away:)Quote:

Away to Janesboro? To be honest i havent heard of them. Anyone know anything about them?
There the Limerick Aul Premier champions if im correct,thats the league with Pike, Regional, Ballynanty, Fairview etc etc. On a bad day a very good junior team, on a good day one of the best sides in the country.

Is there a mini revival going on up in Grattan with all the ex players returning?
dont be telling porkie to be upseting the new glacticos.thats un true and bubbles would never leave there.i tried to sign him a lot of times.Quote:

Hubba, i couldnt follow some of ur post, of what u asked that i could follow, Mayfields all weather is unavailable tuesdays an thursdays, u should know that as u train up there, mondays is hit. Or miss as theres training for various sides up to 8:30 . Its an all weather, flat, big an a lot cheaper than anyone elses. I play on it week in week out an its fine.
Hubba bubba doesn't half talk some crap, none of what you said is true, and enquiring about mayfield all weather when ye train there twice a week proves you haven't a clue
Why don't you enlighten us on yer 'signings'
You'd be better off in the baths:)Quote:

Players swap clubs yearly. I will tell you one thing though, they have a centre forward - Shane Clarke is his name, he is top quality. Amateur international. Scores goals for fun + sets up just as many. Keep him anyway quiet KC + ye have a half a chance. Scored the 2 goals in the final to win the MJC last year. However ye have a certain player up front who is well capable of his own bit of magic.Quote:

My fault I didn't explian it well was meant as bit of banter with the innish lads. Tony is their party planner

From reading the last few pages it sums up really why teams have left and will keep leaving the AUL to the MSL, to be going on about teams having to move big FAI and Munster junior cup games from there home pitches because of no showers, proper dressing rooms or because there is cows breaking into the fields just says it all. 3 last year and more to go this summer could really damage the AUL which is very unfortunate.
