Belgrove Goalkeeper scored from just outside his 18 yard box with a long punt ..Casement keeper left redfaced
long punt!!, long punt!!! it was a free kick, i told you obwon i picked my spot and put it there FACT. i did it again last night in training. thats me and you on the same goals this season. i reckon i'll finish with the higher tally come the end. :D :D :D
thought casements big centre forward put himself about well and the 10 dropped off but they had nothing down the flanks to give these guys any service. at the end of the day our bit extra came thru. next round will be tough but i would love to put one over bangor.
There is no way you meant that Phyllis..no way..reckon your right with finishing on the same goals though..picking splinters from my backside as I speak..especially with Austin Skelly arriving on the scene..!!:eek:
meant it all the way. i'll fill you in...... started watching casement in the warm up i noticed how far the casement keeper was standing off his line in the warm up. when the game started i scoped him doing it again. he isnt doing anything wrong but with the breeze behind me i knew i would have a chance with kick i have. free kick given i looked up he was about 18yards out i said what the hell i'll put it in on top of him or try get it over him. whaaaaackkk centre half misses it and cos his positioning is bad from the initial kick he can never recover. sometimes my young padwon there is science in madness.:D :D
Right, need to know when the next round will be played - anyone know where to find the dates etc? Razor?
Ta very much Razor, appreciate that.
0-0 Mount v St Mochta's. Horrible conditions, terrible pitch, Mount just couldn't bag one, under no pressure at the back at all.
Don't know when replay will be.
Only real chance of the game fell to Mochta's, Rockmount settled first and won a few corners but never really threatened.
Mochta's got into stride but were too defensive minded revert to 532 at times giving the space to the visitors.
Poor game overall and Rockmont with an extra man for last 15 didn't take advantage.
Earlier Cherry Orchard accounted for Dublin Bus 2-0
Mayfield had a great 1-0 win against Glebe North and will play the holders in the next round, should be a cracker.
Saw what completely different? Did 'Mount have any direct shot(s) on goal?
As for the nonsense of a penalty claim -it wasn't even a foul. The player dived and the alleged offender was smart enough to not even try and attempt a tackle. Plus it was outside the area. I was within five yards of the incident and am a neutral and watching with a very experienced ref and immediately we both commended the ref in getting it right.
I'd be exceptionally surprised if the ref said he erred.
As for the claim of a poor pitch, yes it was soft but it held up and didn't stop either side from playing it on the ground.
Yeah, he said it to me at the end he felt he had got it wrong. No harm done.
We're used to better surfaces in Cork, but of course there is nothing anyone can do about the weather.
I was quite happy with the chances created, on another day we'd have killed one or two of them, Beech's header and Cliffy's chance alone would regularly go in, but there ya go. Their keeper had 3/4 saves to make as well.
4-2 on pens actually. Mount pounded the life out of Mochta's who unbelievably held on to win in the lottery that is pens, hat's off to them for 2 gutsy display's. Well done to their hardy bunch of support who joined them today. Nice bunch to be honest, on both days.
Best of luck to them in the next round.
the text I got yesterday said 4-2 on pens :confused:
Alright folks, just wondering what Douglas Hall are like? we play them next week, so should we expect a tough game from them?
Douglas Hall are strong this year, they poached a few players from some of the better clubs during the close season and are gelling together quite well. Their league form isn't great, but that would be no indication really with the lack of games being played etc.
Tough game for your boys indeed I'd imagine.
Mayfield Utd 0-1 Avondale Utd.
Holders safely through today, scrappy game, not a whole lot of chances, Spratty settled it with about 25 left. Mayfield pushed on late but never really threatened. Spratty should have settled it with a 1-1 chance but 1 was enough.
The rest of the results went as follows
Kildrum Tigers FC 3-2 Douglas Hall FC
Celbridge Town AFC 1-2 College Corinthians FC
Tolka Rovers FC 2-0 Crumlin United FC
Belgrove FC 0-2 Bangor Celtic FC
Drogheda Town FC 0-2 Phoenix FC
St. Mochtas FC 1-1 Malahide United FC
Fanad United FC 1-1 Cherry Orchard FC
Good work Avondale, opening up nicely this year again to retaining it. Hall went out in the end to Kildrum. How tight did it get Harps Kid?
Is there a report or anything on the Tigers game Chris? I work with one of the lads, I always keep a wee eye out.
Is it Darky you work with or Mullen?

Soccer – FAI Intermediate Cup
'The Den' Proves Too Much For Douglas Hall
Kildrum Tigers………3
Douglas Hall…………2

Fortress Station Road Park proved a bridge too for Douglas Hall as
Kildrum continued their magnificent run of form on home soil yesterday
afternoon with Raymond McDaid's men overcoming the Cork men to progress to
the Quarter Finals of the FAI Intermediate Cup.
The Tigers have suffered only one defeat at 'The Den' in almost five
seasons (and two in seven seasons) and yesterday afternoon an enthralling encounter saw goals
from Keith Hegarty, Gareth Mullen and Paul Lynch keep their proud record going.
It was certainly a classic cup tie by the banks of the Foyle that saw
the Ulster Senior League side come back from a nervous start to book
their place in the last eight for the first time in their history.
The first 12 minutes saw Douglas Hall settle quickest, but from their
first attack in the 13th minute the home side broke the deadlock, much
to the delight of the sizeable home support.
Mark Callaghan fed Ronan Coyle with a ball down the left flank and his
ball across the box was eventually cleared to the feet of Keith
Hegarty and the midfielder needed no second invitation in firing the
ball beyond the helpless Adrian O'Donovan.
Thereafter, Kildrum settled into the contest and after a period of
end-to-end action goalkeeper John Roulstone came to the rescue of
Kildrum.
David Wogan adjudged an infringement to have taken place inside the
box and pointed to the penalty spot, but Keith Stanton's spot-kick was
well beaten out by Roulstone who got down well to his right side.
Five minutes into the second half, the visitors got back on level
terms when Brendan O'Connell was allowed space inside the area to
blast home from close range.
Kildrum thought they had got back in front immediately when Ronan
Coyle nodded home at the back post only for the referee to rule the
effort out on the strength of a flag from his linesman.
After Rousltone denied Douglas Hall a certain second with a fine stop
from Ian Cullinane, the home side edged in front with a goal that was
as good as has been seen at the venue for quite some time.
Glen Bovaird's teasing corner was beaten clear by the Douglas Hall
defence but the clearance only fell to the feet of Gareth Mullen. The
flame-haired attacker connected superbly to drive a 20-yard volley
bullet-like to the onion bag.
Within five minutes, the home support were in raptures again as Paul
Lynch connected with a Dermot Kelly into the box to knock home number
three from close range.
Tempers then began to fray and after a collision in the middle of the
park Kildrum's Keith Hegarty and Douglas Hall's Seamus Long both saw
red cards for their parts in the scrap.
With three minutes remaining John Healy was forced to don the gloves
when Douglas Hall's goalkeeper Aidrian O'Donovan was dismissed for a
lunge on Ronan Coyle outside the box when the ace marksman was played
through by Tommy McDonald.
In the closing stages, it was edge of the seat stuff, particularly
when substitute John McCarthy headed in a second Douglas Hall goal.
Soon afterwards, David Wogan sounded the final whistle and the home
support sounded a massive roar of approval and they now look forward
to quarter final tie with opponents expected to be confirmed this
week.
Best for the home side was right-back Dermot Kelly who was a constant
threat throughout while honourable mention must go to goalkeeper John
Roulstone. The young Raphoe stopper made two very crucial saves,denying Douglas Hall an
equaliser with a 39th minute penalty save and then pulling off a fine block from Cullinane
when the tie was delicately poised at 1-1.
They had their chances for a fourth strike too, with Garrett Callaghan denied by a defender after rounding the goalkeeper and Healy coming out to thwrat the efforts of Coyle after he went on a solo-run from the tip-off from Douglas Hall's late goal.
The Tigers roar on and now look forward to a quarter-final tie that will take place on the first weekend in March
