Playing games to the death this year is interesting. No more replays, was worried about going back to Avondale, but then found out we'd go all the way. Worked out in the end for the best - football was the winner!!

we didnt perform on the night, no arguments
Thats a shocker. Tolka were one of the favourites along with bangor celtic. Bluebell were 40/1 to ein the competition before last night. Bangor celtic and Rockmount clear favourites now id sayQuote:

Lets hope that Drumkeen get a bit of discipline into their team this time they travel to Cork. Last time they played in Cork in Intermediate Cup (as far as I know) was against Ringmahon in Nov 2003. I was captain at the time and i think only about 3-4 players stayed in the hotel on the saturday nite. All the rest had been drinking on the way down on the bus and then out getting ****ed on the sat nite. One of em near got arrested in Limerick on way down and another had his head bandaged before the match cos he fell and bust his head on a lamp post. What a joke. Ended up getting beat 2-0 against a team which were there for the beating.Quote:

He ended up costing us the first goal after 5 mins when the big guy took a throw in and it ended up at the back post for a tap in by the forward he was to be marking.
2nd Round Leinster.
Terenure CY 0:1 Crumlin Utd.
Don't know anything about this game only Crumlin Utd. will be at home to Everton in the December.

Fanad would be fancied against Lissadel I reckon. They beat them last year, though from memory it was a tight enough game. And the following week, Kildrum would be favourites against Mochtas - or would that be a dangerous assumption to make?
Rockmount 2-1 Drumkeen, full-time score from today.
Lisadell are struggling to score goals but still a good team. They knocked Belgrove out earlier in the competition.Quote:

Mount won 2-1 yesterday, Buttsy and possibly Pat Keane with the goals. Made hard work of it, but were streets ahead of the lads from Drumkeen. They gave it everything in fairness to them.
Ballincolig 1-2 Glenmore Dundrum was the other score over the weekend.
Sadly the story around the Donegal soccer scene this morning hasn't covered them in glory this time either. Dear or dear.Quote:

Lisadell drew 2-2 with Fanad. Reply next Saturday.
It's the afterwards bit I'm on about, wasn't referring to the game at all. I've taken numerous phone calls about it last night and again today Sam. It hasn't protrayed the players or the club in a good light unfortunately.Quote:

As I mentioned on a earlier post, in 2003 one of our defenders almost got arrested in Limerick on the saturday night before the game. Load of the players had been drinking all the way down on the bus, and plenty of that was spirits. They stopped at Limerick for 20 mins and the defender started urinating behind the bus in the carpark. The bus drove off leaving him standing alone. A local reported it to the Gardai who arrived and got on the bus. The local had left by this stage and no one therefore could identify him.Quote:

Cool, the conversation above by the Harps lads seemed to suggest there was something this weekend as well. No worries.Quote:

Drumkeen have played some great football at times this season, they were the best footballing side in the division for most part but lost their way after a few defeats, a decent striker in the squad would make a massive difference.
Ryan Gildea and Darren Walker at centre back are both outstanding players on their day (Ryan is being touted for Harps over the past few weeks), Chris Kyle and Gary Patton are excellent footballers in midfield with Garys size the only thing holding him back from furthering himself in football and Ritchie Moore up front really is a handful but lately is sorely low on confidence therefore not playing up to his usual standards.
From what im told though, Rockmount are a class act and will be hard to stop, best of luck to them.

Some interesting betting
Fanad United 1-1 Lisadell
Fanad won 4-3 on pens.
Great game today in Fanad, just about shaded by Fanad, but Lisadell looked a decent, well-organised team. Ciaran Bissett scored a rocket to put them one-up early on, but Seimi Friel equalised for Fanad. Game of few chances, but overall was an entertaining one.
Bluebell Utd. 1:1 Postal Utd.
Bluebell had two players suspended and another on honeymoon.
Eventfull 1st half, Postal went ahead through O'Connor ( I think) and then twominutes later Bluebell 'keeper throw ball to Postal forward who is taken down by defender. Defender sent off.
Postal went defensive after that and Bluebell scored from the penalty spot through Peter Sherlock. Bluebell did alot of pressing in the second half and Postal had a couple of chances near the end.
Could have been alot worse for Bluebell.
FAI Intermediate Cup results
Arklow Town 2-0 Mount Merrion
Blarney Utd 4-0 Dublin Bus
Bluebell Utd 1-1 Postal
Broadford Rovers 1-1 Carrigaline Utd
Cherry Orchard OFF Rathcoole
Crumlin Utd 5-1 Everton
Drumcondra 0-2 UCD
Fermoy 1-4 Newtown Rangers
Malahide Utd 1-1 Garryduff
Mayfield Utd 2-1 Bangor Celtic
St Marys 1-1 Leixlip Utd
St Mochtas 1-4 Kildrum Tigers
Mayfield had great win against Bangor Celtic. They were one of the favourites from the competition. Crumlin look the best side from Dublin. They won the LSL last year and just beat Everton 5-1.
Lakewood 1:1 Ringmahon RangersQuote:
