Should be a good game.
I'm glad we're at home, as Douglas Hall are very hard to beat on their artificial surface!
are you staying with kinsale so shilts? story was you were going to bandon!!
Haha!Quote:

That's Brendan Hurley going to Bandon - I'm staying put!
They wanted me but couldn't afford the transfer fee haha!
5 shillings! ;)
i apologise unreservedly!!!
i suppose the desmond lge and west cork lge would be the worst of the 12 team?,clonmel would be my favourites to win it out.it will be very interestin to see how pike react to loosin alot of players. did pike recieve compo from athlone town for their players? i think this new competiton by munster is an excellent idea,fair play....
Why would Pike receive compo from Athlone when the junior season is over and those players can go where they lke?????Quote:

I looked on the MFA website but couldn't find rules for this competition.
I know for the Munster Junior Cup you can't have played in the Munster Senior Cup that season.
However no MFA Senior or Junior Cup games have been played yet this season.
I hope somebody from the MFA is looking and nails this down before the game on saturday!!!
I'm not from the MFA but will give my opinion. As I understand, any player who hasn't played more than 5 games at Senior level this season would be eligible to play in this junior cup competition.Quote:

In my opinion if Douglas Hall senior team have not played 5 games yet this season then, yes, all their senior team are eligible to play on Saturday in the junior competition.Quote:

I am not familiar with the Munster Senior League but good on the rules. Anyway, surely Douglas Hall wouldn't put out their senior team. That wouldn't be fair on the junior team.Quote:

all results to form except the abbeyfeale result. they should be beating west cork league opposition
From what i heard abbeyfeale were missing 5 or 6 due to gaa.they obviously were not 2 interested in this comp,
Why should abbeyfeale be beating west cork league opposition? Excuses of Gaa don't wash, a good performance by a WCL team who are only just getting going in their season, well done Bunratty, watch out Pike :)Quote:

Told not to play? By whom?Quote:

Thought as much. What a shame.Quote:

However, I agree with you that if a guy wants to play football and is told not to do so because of another code it does not say much for him.
Agree with you. Fact of the matter though is most players involved in both codes, gaa and soccer, gaa will get first choice. Its a cultural thing, bred into the brain from schooldays e.g. the national game, for the parish, etc etc. It will always be that way, especially in rural areas. Sadly, in this case, it shows disrespect to this new and prestigious competition.Quote:

We would love to have travelled with a full squad to choose from because if we did we would be still in it.Quote:

Pressure being applied from either faction is unfair.
I understand and the fact that in rural areas, especially, you dont have the pick available in urban centres.Quote:

It's a pity really for the other abbeyfeale players who wanted to win the game and now missed their chance to play pike rovers in the next round
QFinal
Tile King v Kinsale
Sat 2.30 ko
Big game this weekend for us.
We've never come across Tile King before so I don't know how good they are.
We will be giving them plenty of respect though.
Any league champions would be dangerous on their own turf.
Tile King 1
Kinsale 8
Quite a mismatch here.
This game was done and dusted early on and was blown up with 20 mins left.
Great to make it to the semis tho :)
Pike rovers 2-1 Bunratty (Cork).
big loss for pike if true.Quote:

Was the draw for the next round made?
Pike play winners of clonmel town and Killarney Celtic,TSDL played OT yesterday so I presume that's why it didn't go ahead yesterday,according to tsdl forum though it was a St michaels selection against cork,players from St michaels B were called into the squad.Quote:
