Cork AUL 2012/13

I think Dublin just have a much bigger population so it doesn't affect them as much, plus the GAA down here is always going to be the number 1 sport, I can imagine how many teams get excellent players while the GAA is is finished but soon as it starts again there straight out the door, I know a few teams who struggle with it and Castleview could gain as much as 6-7 players when Vincent's finish up every year, now imagine they had them all year?? Killumney had Michael shields out for a bit but Cork are back now so he's with them again.. Don't think it affects Dublin teams as much... This isn't an excuse either I personally think no team in cork are good enough to win the FAI at the moment and prob wont be for a long time!! Hope pearse show is all that we are wrong tho!!

I agree with the size difference and the gaa dilemma.
Don't forget park are still in there aswell hopefully we both get a bit of luck on our way

Kinsale got to last 8 a few years back and we got to last 16 in 2009/2010, knocked out by St Peters and Pike in FAI & MJL that year

Never meant to apply that it was all down to the refs that Cork teams aren't winning FAI that would be stupid in order to win an FAI Cup it takes commitment, dedication and a lot of hard along with talented players, and yes we do have teams in Cork that can do that, it's a pity to read such negativity on here, imagine not entering these competitions, even worse is entering them and not thinking that you can have a decent go at them, come on lads show a small bit of positivism on here or we might as well not take part at all, ye are not showing our clubs, teams or players much enthusiasm or future for Cork soccer

Incorrect. A player can sign for 3 clubs but can only play for two. If he signed for Mayfield, but didnt play for them, he can play for a third club.

I don't think that's right Nononsense! But I could be wrong.

Was an enjoyable game for all concerned. Leeview look hungry and will give most teams visiting Mayfield or hosting them a very difficult time with their mobility. I wouldn't read too much into their league form or current position to date. They seem to be making the right appointments in terms of coaching personell and have a decent squad with 2 or 3 for every position. A fine example of a club riding out the first few difficult season after starting up and now progressing well. Theres always a lot of talk about the big premier clubs and their achievements but there are times when we should all look at and appreciate the achievements and thankless hard work being done every week in the lower leagues by managers and players alike. Well done to all concerned

Castleview v pearse off tommorrow

Douglas Hall 0 Glen Celtic 1. First time I've seen both teams this season. Very good physical game. Hav to say that Mark Nolan is a class act, they tried to batter him but he kept going and controlled the midfield. Steve Barry for the Hall and Barry Donovan for the Glen look dangerous evertytime they got the ball. Either team would be in with a shout for the AOH If we weren't still in it. LOL

the glen showed tonite just how good they are in fairness to them despite the ref doing all he could to wreck the game in favor of the hall all nite .douglas are a good team great win by the glen.nolan for me is the top player in cork at the moment and what a player peters is he will realy learn from the players in that team .shambo and barry o d would grace any team. vinnie and calvin mc awsome brendon long class in goal well done glen cel A.

F.A.I. rule book, rule 32, section 3, ''Players may be registered for a maximum of 3 clubs during the current season. During this period the player is only eligible to play in official matches for 2 clubs.''

Could I also point out rule 10 in the same rule book which states the F.A.I. rules supersede divisonal rule books. So whatever it says in the Cork A.U.L. rule book, or any divisional rule book, the F.A.I. rule book overrules it.

Happy New Year to all its great that games are back on hope the weather is kind to us for the weekend now good luck to everyone for the remainder of the season and here's to some great games.:)

i should not even reply to this as the glen lads know there all fab players.dont be upset you seen john enough time to say to him what you want.. 2 trips to you and 4 goals id be upset to.which one are you?.

Glenthorn - Kilreen Celtic called off. Both teams togged off ready to go. Joke. You'd think the ref could of walked it an hour beforehand.

Lost 2 1 to strand conditions poor 1 1 after five mins penalty won it for strand tough game we had our chances but fair play to strand rode their luck and best of luck to them in the nxt round 1for as for nolan being best player around i think a few in prem would disagree ur forever blowing on about killumney so would he fit in out there or coachford and if hes that good surely msl sides would be approaching him

Easy there schoolboy. I think 1for is just supporting his own. No harm in that. Mark is a top player, if you went + watched the aul games you would see that. Reason he hasn't left yet is loyalty. They have a good team spirit + lads work for each other. No offence here schoolboy but are you ever going to come on here + say ye lost because ye aren't good enough. Every week you have your excuses. You could count on 1 hand how many games ye have actually won this year. Some times the truth hurts. Table doesn't lie either.

Did any games go ahead today?

Kanturk 4 Blackstone 0

Good solid win for us after the Xmas break..up 3-0 at ht,where blackstone missed a peno and hit the post in the 5 minutes of 1st half..
2nd half just kinda fizzled out,we got 1 near the end!
Tom fitz (2) matty riordan nd matt dilworth with the others..
Carrig now next week!

Macroom beaten 6-0 at home by killumney today i think.

Hubba if killumney result is true yer nowhere near coachford and killumney truth be told

Great result for richmond today..fair play to them...nolan is a fine player for the glen and to be fair he is up there with the best in the aul....well done hubba on your win today...great to see ye up and running again as it wasnt looking to good for ye a few weeks ago....did ye sign any new players to help your title push

well done to glen celtic b team today lads great result good solid team proformance best of luck for the rest of the season
