They played in a tournament with Linfield, Glentoran and I think Crusaders a few months back. They have also had a good few one off games- I think they are one of the only sides to defeat the "Liverpool Legends".Quote:

I love every single one of these...
It'd be cool if this tournament could be expanded nationwide during the off-season.
And play it in the Aviva?Quote:

8 teams in this. 4 from outside Dublin.
All the big clubs represented, and Shels.
No point in overkill
No reason not to expand it if it works well though. I'd like to see UCD in it, for example. I'm sure others'd feel the same.
(Are Cork not a big club? Or were Cork City big but Cork FORAS aren't? :p )
Of course you would. Doesn't mean you deserve a spot ;)Quote:

The rest of you can find for that 8th spot
Cork aren't in it though. (Though JC said they were in and then the fixtures have Sligo in instead; maybe Cork withdrew).
Anyway, who the biggest teams are doesn't mean the competition shouldn't be expanded if it works well. That's the "big-club" mentality that's brought the league to its knees. You setting out to do the same here already?! :p
The only solution is a pyramid...Quote:

We could get used to winning some silverware again :D
In typical pats fashion, we were the best team throughout the tournament, ncluding beating Shels 3-1 in the group games, before failing in the final :)
Good day though, Pats squad was slightly changed from above with john treacy playing in goals (for the first time in his live apparently) and Mark Ennis drafted in. Ennis and Osam couldn't pkay the final due to being knacked up
Anyone got a list of results?
Ah a double is a double no matter what way you look at it. :)Quote:
