Yes ringmahon finished with nine men. 2nd red card just 5 mins before the end of play. ringmahon very tough side, set pieces really caught us out. as mentioned before, the long throw ins are a devil to deal with, couldnt handle them all day. they got their first red card on half hour mark. keeeper sent off for last man challenge. red card was fair in my opinion, but as ringmahon4ever would agree with, penalty decision was ludacrous! keeper was at least 4 yards outside area. striker went in goal, and to his credit, produced a great save from the spot. ringmahon then scored 2 goals in next ten mins, both from set pieces ( one long throw in). poor defending catching us out again!! carrig pulled one back early in the second half, but from a free kick 15 minutes into 2nd, mahon scored a lovely header at the back post. not much after that. 2nd red was handbags at most. certainly an uphill challenge at this stage!! ringamhon well deserved of victory, best of luck to them for rest of season!
An enthralling match played at break neck speed Mayfield went at them from the off and played a classic counter attacking style pouring forward when they had it and closing the gaps when they defended they raided down the left every chance they got and put in some menacing crosses one which was met with a lovely header at the far post. This seemed to stun the crowd but Avondale didnt panic they kept moving the ball and played nice little triangles around the park Mayfield stayed patient and defended well and waited for their opportunity and it duly came when some sloppy defending let Warren through on goal with only the keeper to beat penalty awarded but for some unknown reason no red card was given. Avondale pressed hard before the break but were kept at bay. There was a sense around the ground that this game was far from over and Dale came out with all guns blazing and scored after 6min of the restart in what seem to be another bizarre decision by the ref the right back was blatantly fouled in the box but no free was given and Dale scored this led to uproar once more and just maybe a Malaysian syndicate was at play here.This decision changed the course of the game and Dale could smell the blood Mayfield defended resolutely and were visibly tiring from the onslaught and when Dale scored again with 15min to go you would have thought there is only going to be one winner here but Mayfield held firm and the introduction of a fresh winger on the right took much relived pressure off to see the game out. This Avondale side is one serious team and I can't see anyone beating them gone is the aimless punts replaced by functional one-twos triangles and third man runners a joy to watch I pity the next team that plays them there hurting badly after the first two games but this is just a temporary setback.

yeah how the referee deemed it a penalty was madness.he was fouled outside the circle of box .it looked bad off from there but the striker that went in goal made a great save.caught ye with two goals then . handbag.s is right for other sending off.stupid really. hopefully we can push on now after our horror show last week
Will hardly match Goggs excellent match report. The first Mayfield goal was a super header and the second a superbly taken penalty after Alan Carey was caught in possession, probably couldn't have complained about a red but Warren wasn't exactly through on goal.
I thought the contentious "foul" on the right back for the first Dale goal was a dive and rightly ignored.
Sherlock in the Mayfield goal made at least 2 superb saves and was my man of the match.
Dale, like Marys last week, deserved a draw, I don't blame Mayfield at all for time wasting and the ref rightly called 6 minutes at the end but blew after 5 with an Avondale corner yet to be taken.
Dale not firing yet, few players yet to fit in and some yet to get going.
hey lads. haven't been on in awhile. razor a fair a comment about avondale. they looked excellent at times yesterday but leaked some sloppy goals in both the Mary s game and yesterday.
Wat about college cors great start to the league. fair play to them. i think this years league will will be alot tighter this year than last.
its great to have the msl back.
do ye fancy the msl to retain the Michael ward this weekend. few players missing. monty , Bren o Connell, Decky cahill suspended for first game along with Hoggy and Karl Calfield.
what team would ye pick for it
Well well,amazing this game was played at a high pace after the rockmount game,in truth I was quiet bored of the first half of mayfield game,especially at a extremely slow Avondale out of the blocks,but believe me this was far from frantic,until a really talented Avondale got going,and boy god they did,but what flashes through my mind is did mayfield once again cave in like last week or have they just got no leadership like was mentioned last week,and cowardly shy'ed away from what could have been a superb 3pts against a hugely potential and possibly fulltime Avondale side,can take make d step up?but the time wasting from a early momement in second half was very negative,surely with ambition of a home side put Avondale to the sword!!oh well we'l never know now.
Yes glenbuck,mr.coro (aka cambridge)once again believes nobody has the right to win the league other than rockmount(sorry haven't avondales chalice at d mo),but at he end of the day nobody is back in there box.midleton got a good point away from home,and call a spade a spade could have snatched the 3 pts!!
i'm fecked so, haha
anyone know the squad for the coming weekend lads? heard rumours of 10/11 avondale players
Not sure yet exactly who but prob can expect 8-10 Avondale players considering what they won and how many international call ups they have. Most of them are ex LOI anyway. I think this competition should be taken more seriously though. ONE TRAINING session before it starts. On away trips it's usually a **** up. It is an honour to be picked so I personally think it is totally undervalued. Like the FAI Intermediate cup v's the FAI Junior Cup. The FAI Junior cup is pencilled in for the AVIVA next year but nothing about the Intermediate Cup. This level of football is not recognised as much as it should. Anyway that is my rant over with. Best of luck to all Involved and hopefully we can send the Dubs home packing.
Hi Lads, new to this forum after reading it over the last few weeks. Following a lot of junior and senior football in the East Cork area after moving down from the city in the past few years. Looking forward to getting to more games as the boots are well hung up at this stage :-)
Made the trip out to Crosshaven yesterday to take in the match of the week. Witnessed one of the most one sided games so far this season. Leeside literally battered Crosshaven for the entire ninety minutes with Greg o halloran and the Crosshaven keeper( man of the match) giving Crosshaven a share of the points. One thing that was pretty evident as well as some great football from leeside was some very poor gamesmanship from Crosshaven. In an attempt to disrupt leesides passing game Crosshaven opted to let their youths play on the much superior senior pitch and play the senior game on a shockingly bad junior pitch and a very poor junior pitch at that. Add that to the fact that the away team wasnt allowed into a dressing room until 2.20. Don't get me wrong I'm all for a club doing all it can to get a win on the day but to resort to tactics like this is just plain unsporting. I saw a few posts back in which a club official defended Crosshaven as a good sporting club following some damning accusations but yesterday's behavior was plain unsporting. A good game and a good point for both clubs but poor a setting for a munster senior league game. Crosshavens fixtures secretary needs to get his house in order.
Toto, should Crosshaven have played on the better pitch to suit the opposition? ;)
Sounds like good tactics to me if they thought they could be up against it.
Don't get me wrong the terrible pitch suited Crosshaven but this isn't the aul here its senior league. What's the point in having specific pitch requirements in the rules when they can be flouted. Surely tactics should be saved for the pitch...... By the way the junior pitch had just had a game played on it whereas the senior pitch hadn't. No dug outs no place to warm up at side of pitch. Anybody have any clear idea on what the rules say?
Was at that game in Crosser, and what I saw was two teams of under 13 /14 girls coming out of the dressing rooms,about five past two, after togging on after playing a game themselves, Now would you let a team of about 20 adults into a dressing room to tog out with 12 year old girls for the sake of five minutes,, get your priority right toto, and read the child care act that every club has, as for playing on any particular pitch, if the lines are clear and grass cut, flag poles and nets in place, within the min/max size and the referee is happy, then that's all that matters, and if your team is allowed to warm up on the pitch, what do you need an off pitch warm up area for.
Welcome to the real world :)
The real world... Nice touch archie..would you by any chance live in it yourself .. Why schedule an under 13 girls football game that conflicts with a senior game? I actually heard one of your club representatives having a pop at the leeside manager for complining about the delay saying it was his fault because leeside wouldnt agree to reschedule the kick off until 4pm. Why should they its up to your club secretary to get his or her house in order. Your taking a bit of a liberty with the 5 past 2 time aswell Leeside were at the ground from 1.30 and entered the dressing room at 2.20pm . How do you explain the clubs decision to play the youths game which kicked of at the same time on the senior pitch and having the senior game played on the substandard pitch that had just hosted the girls game? By the way in the real world a team normaly does it's running warm up off the pitch and the ball work on it out of respect to the host clubs wishes and a desire not to damage pitch. I believe Leeside were instructed to do their running off the pitch. Your club displayed some interesting colours on Saturday and it was reflected very well in your hospitality and behavior on the day... it masked it's inferiority very well in its hiding behind little girls and your youth team I'd say you're well pleased with your result ..... by the way I've never in all my time watching football been at a senior league game where the home team couldn't furnish a match ball. Should be an interesting Munster senior cup game in little island.
Sadly my computer is out of action so Ill do my talking with the Chairman of Leeside via telephone tomorrow. It's very easy for people like Toto to come on here & give a one sided biased view of what happened in Crosshaven yesterday but if your club has any official complaints to make then do so via the Msl management committee. Don't hide behind a false name on a website. I would never come on here and comment on your club or team especially as I know they are hard working volunteers. If I have anything to say then I'll contact directly.
Seamus Murphy
Chairman

"He who is without sin cast the first stone", I'll make it my business to attend a game at Leeside "PARADISE" Park shortly, to see the PERFECT SET UP. End of.
I have no direct affiliation with Leeside other than a friendship with a few players and the manager. I had a nice day out in Crosshaven as my own club weren't playing until Sunday, had a few pints in cronins with the other half and when she headed home I took in the match of the day ad it was my first ever visit to Crosshaven . I'm just saying it as I seen it. Is it not the remit of this forum that it allows comment without fear of repercussion hence the ability to remain anonymous. I think fermoy will be relegated this season fom the premier league and ive no doubt that will upset the lads from fermoy but thats my opinion. This forum is called foot.ie its not called " you can't voice an opinion if it upsets someone.ie ". I hope when you speak to the Leeside chairman you can give him a reason to the pitch change and why you played a youth team fixture on your senior pitch maybe you can inform him of your inability to mange your underage fixtures or as a home team and your inability to provide a single match ball do every time he ball went out if play away fans had to climb into gardens to get the matchballs supplied by the away team. I'm a football fan I take in as many games as I can and am perfectly entitled to voice my opinion especially when it speaks the truth. I believe you showed nothing but contempt for Leeside on Saturday. @ Archie ..... I'd say the lads at Leeside will be nothing but welcoming to their modest set up in little island. Don't get me wrong the choice of pitched worked for Crosshaven and they dealt with everything leeside threw at them and their keeper was a deserving mom and they rode their luck to get a well earned point. I have an opinion on what I saw on the day and saw fit to put it on this forum.. End of
Ironic this coming from a leeside supporter.i went to watch a Keane cup game in leeside park is it? Versus midleton it was,and to be honest on first arrival I couldn't understand why I saw two sidelines,one brought 5yrds inside The other,and can't be certain but could say they length was bought 5 yards shorter either sides aswell.plus on the playing surface won't talk much about it because garryvoe beach would have been a carpet compared at the time,but all I can say leeside used there poor facilities to the fore on the day winning 2-1 especially after being wracked 5-0 a week before by same opposition on a carpet!call a spade a spade lads.crosshaven entitled to play on what ever pitch they like.better than a beach I suppose.
lads im leeside,great game in which leeside should have won by five,i dont know who toto is but we down in leeside appreciate his concern and look forward to his posts but no one down here complaining about the pitch or the preparation of the team,it was in perfect condition,there keeper won them a draw ,there will be tougher tests ahead for a young leeside team,who are after losing a lot of players over the last 2 years. Leeside can build on this and hopefully get some positive results following a difficult start to the league. Wilton favourites in my opinion,they know how to win!!!!!
mighty almighty toto not from leeside,also leesides pitch has been the same size since pre-season,midleton were poor on the day and leeside were better with an mostly parish players,i heard the bus from cobh was hopping after the mayfield result. some great players down in midleton/cobh!!!
Honesty at last from the horses mouth, well said "thebooboys"
