The cameras were from RTE, I think they're going to show some of the game before whatever game is live on RTE this week......that's what I heard on Sunday anyway.
I saw Paul there too - he's living in Wexford now and has been out kicking around under lights on the training pitches a few times.....fancies himself as a bit of a centre-forward these days!
Well done, and welcome to the eircom league.
Might try and get to your game againist DUNDALK(craptown) i'll give youse a few good songs to sing at them.
I'll probably be a while getting my photos up. Can't do it in work so I have to wait for the unlikely convergance of girlfriends laptop, my camera and neighbours wireless broadband! They're not much different than the ones we've seen before.
On the stewarding at the game, I was told that the event controllor is the head event controller from Croke Park, so he should have plenty of experience. Some of the problems with access arose because the temporary fencing all got blown over in the wind the night before. Anyone parked down the back of the training pitches behind the goal was not supposed to be there. They only used it becuase the fencing in that area had fallen down. That's according to the steward at that end anyway.
I liked the look of the jersey, very simple design, I hope they make them available to the public soon.
I just remembered Cobh had a very lucky escape in the first half. The keeper came rushing out of the goal, never had a chance of making it and took down Elmes outside the box. It was a straight red if it hadn't been for a very very late flag from the linesman. He was at least a yard onside too.

Good solid start to the league by the lads, and proves all the doubters on Wallace and his professionalism (or lack of it as a lot were insinuating) wrong. Granted its not going to be like this all year and there will be dreadful days to go with great days, but at least he has got his first win under his belt. Would have been disappointing as the game went not to win it and its always one of those things trying to get the first win in a debut season. Well done to all involved.
Welcome to the big time boys. Good win ....we might catch ye next time but best of luck anyway. See ye at St Colmans Park.
ye were poor we were worse but have to say ye have an excellent setup will be great when all built and what a legend mick wallace is cool hair and superb grub at halftime but man was it cold there sunny south east my nuts
best of luck int he season good to have ye in the league:o
I see Pat Ronan was match sponsor. An absolute gentleman and great supporter of Pats over the years.Quote:

A class act, shame I missed it. For anyone without access to unison...
Considering the day that was in it, I decided to go for a swim at Bannow Island on Sunday morning.
The power and cold of the sea has a humbling effect on an individual and braces one for the challenges that lie ahead. And challenges there are many.
Playing our first-ever League of Ireland game in Wexford presented them from all angles. Trying to have the teams prepared, Seanie O'Shea getting the ground right, Ioam Fedorca sorting out the complex, Simon Aust organising the stewards, thankfully with great help from the Gardai, all keeping disturbance of the neighbours to a minimum.
Cathal Fanning and my brother, Joseph, taking care of financial matters, and Luca Boccalo putting food and wine in order.
Many people, too numerous to mention, helped out in order to make it all happen.
Taking the players for a session on Saturday, followed by pasta and salad in Enoteca D'Alba, and the same on Sunday before game preparations, all seemed like the easy part. The game, the crowd, the goal, the win - incredible. Impossible to play good football against the gale-force wind in the first-half, a bit easier in the second. The passion and honesty throughout the team was emotional for all 90 minutes, the crowd were fantastic, all 2,500 of them, and to crown it all the Gods smiled on us.
Grazie a Tutti per Tutto, thanks to so many for so much. What a beautiful day!
Mick Wallace
