Carew park 3 dines 2, dal mac, john boyle, pa boyle.
GOod game this morning a fully deserved win for carew they could of score 2 or 3 goals first half missed some good chances dines got one shot and scored from it on stroke of half time dale mac side footed the ball home from a lovely ball from out wide. CArew owed the 2nd half played some good football and went in front from a run and shot into the bottom corner from john boyle. CArew pushed on for the killer goal and what a goal from pa boyle 25yrds OUT towards to sideline and unleashed a unstoppable shot into the top corner to make it 3-1 dines scored with last kick of the game for 3-2
Carew Park 3-2 Geraldines
Second time seeing Carew in the space of four days, and despite missing Thursday night's goalscorer Brian Ahern in midfield they put in a much more accomplished performance this morning.
Dines opened the scoring after about 35 minutes when a set piece eventually fell to Bobby Tier at the back post who delivered a beautiful lofted finish. It was totally against the run of play however as Carew were dominating possession and had the Dines penned into their own half for most of the game up to that point. They eventually got their reward when a Jamie O'Sullivan cross from the right was turned in by Dale McNamara on the stroke of half time.
Second half was more of the same. Carew played patient possession football in front of the opposition and despite some excellent defending (particularly from Ian Storan) they eventually got a lucky break when a deflected effort from John Boyle creeped in at the far post. There was nothing lucky about the third however - a stunning left footed strike from range by Pa Boyle out of absolutely nowhere. One of the best goals you're likely to see at this level.
Dines were to score a late, late consolation but I had already left by that point!
Carew are improving rapidly. They have the ability to keep the ball for long periods that they didn't have last year and are the only side capable of giving Pike any kind of challenge this year.
Anyone have a report on the balla and pike game heard the ref had a stormer
Going by the abuse over on the Facebook page about the ref a lot of lads are going to be in big big trouble. A lot of slanderous things being said and I can see the LDMC having to take action over it. No matter how the lads feel about the ref they should keep it to themselves or make formal complaints to the LDMC about it, not splash it all over Facebook.
What's the Facebook page called lads
Limerick Junior Soccer Facebook Forum
When an underage manager wrote on Facebook last year about a ref he got a 6 month ban so players are in big trouble I'd say ..instead of the ref being questioned players will get punished.. Crazy
surely the ldmc need to question why people are saying these things about this ref, I mean if the ref got it wrong and used his position for personal gain then surely he needs to be called up by the ldmc to explain himself.

Key word is Apparently!
Had a good read of what was said and it is shocking...there are people saying he fixed the game,other games , and threatined him with a corner flag....if he went to the cops they would take this very seriously.
All over a game of ball were the ref is always wrong anyway
Letting off steam alright but you know yourself, you can't go on saying some of that stuff about a ref and not expect punishment. There is a time and a place for it and online is not it. Chatting amongst themselves etc... Would have been there own problem but broadcasting it to over a thousand people in that page is not good. Some of the stuff re: betting may or may not be true but you can't just go online throwing around accusations. If both teams were not happy with the ref which seems to be the case then there are ways to go about it. The LDMC alreay warned about the Facebook page if I heard right and there was mention about it in the letter at the start of the season.
Apparently is the key word, but wasnt this ref suspended from reffing last year?
And again the charity thing which came up? Again APPARENTLY true!
But I agree they should not be using facebook to air their grievences. There could be a lot of people in trouble if he went to take this further.
Lads can we leave the referee talk to facebook I don't want this place to descend to that level.
YOur talking about carew winning all there games without a draw or a loss that is a near impossible to do the boro drew one lost one last season and didn't win the league. the standard is ridiculously high before you could draw and lose 2 or 3 and still be in with A shout that's all changed in the last few years but that's the standard teams have to expire to pike have raised the bar up to other to keep pace.
no one will catch Pike again this year,Boro are out of the league already...don't know what is going on down there but they're all over the shop
I heard there are 2 players from Boro going to Pike, not cup tied yet. should be interesting
