Sometimes their AUL Junior side play in Garyduff sports Complex to get there instead of turning right towards the nursing home continue along the road you can't miss the complex...

we struggled to make much impact in coachford at the w/e, pitch was damp and bumpy and a strong wind dominated much of the play, a few chances at either end could have nicked it for either team but a draw was probably a fair result, coachford played as much ball as we did, plenty of tackles but it certainly wasnt a dirty game, we were disappointed to lose points but have to get the result behind us and concentrate on villa up in fairhill on sat, last year a run of draws blew it for us in the league so we'll be conscious of not going down that road again
3-0 sounds convincing at o'neill park, any match report ? and good win for leeside over blarney street gives them what might be the preferred draw in the semi, wonder if the semis are on neutral ground this year or has anyone heard different, dosnt look like any home ground indicated on billy's site
Just heard from a good source about Villa out of the AOH. Villa are supposed to be appealling it, it seems to public knowledge since Friday
looks like ye're camping out at home in hollyhill for the next few weeks littleman/thirdeye, lovely visits from leeside, ballyphehane, (away to park) and kinsale in the league and prob throw in the semi of the aoh not soon after, gonna be spits n studs flying up there for the month of april
we are packin our dubarrys and hitting the road for awhile, we'll be well versed on avoiding traffic up on top of the hill with visits to villa, castleview and grattan in the next 2 weeks and throw in a visit to little island to wish leeside all the best in the munster semi and potentially a visit north again for an aoh cup game
lots of points to be played for but plenty of would be title clashes so by the end of the month there may be a better picture of how the bookies are playing their cards, one game at a time and try to avoid injuries and extra time, any chance that the fcukin wind n rain would stop some weekend and encourage some more football to be played, we're getting webbed feet up at the fort but it might come in handy if this keeps up
big one for us up in fairhill on sat, we should have a full squad so time to stand up and be counted
any other predictions for this weekend gents
Glenthorn Celtic A v Park United A
Castleview A v Kanturk
Villa United v Kinsale
Grattan United A v Leeside
Ballyvolane A v Wilton Utd
Knockavilla Celtic v Springfield
Innishvilla v Hibernians
Grattan United B v Shandon Celtic
i'm holding onto my money for another month !!

If you add the B Team games to that, you are looking at 5 games at O'Neill Park in a space of 8 days. Can't see all of them being played on the pitch at the moment
The gossip pages seem to be filling up so I'll try me best to add some light to whats on everyones minds at the minute.
Firstly tizz ye play us next Tue 15th up in our place then 19th down in your place,an then ye have to come back up to play us in the Aoh,the 2 semis are on the 1st an 2nd weeks of May with the final being played on the 23rd May. I would agree with you on how the end of April will be a better time make a call on who is in the best position on the finishing straight.I have the number for the Commons Inn an with the number of games ye have to play up Norrie land ye might as well book in.You will have to come up for a pint in the Anglers after the game,win loose or draw.
With regards to toepoke an his summing up on the 5 games in 8 days hes not far wrong an I would agree with him on the current condition of our place.Its good to soft at the minute.Dry weather is needed big time.If the weather holds then there is an out side chance of playin the 5 games.If theres any doubt,then the B games will be switched or cancelled.The A games will be played at home an if the weather is not on our side we always have the option of Mayfield or Blarneys all weather pitchs.We have to keep the momentum going now an callin games off because of ours or anyone elses pitch not bein playable is or should be out of the question.I would like to go on holidys in June this year knowin the season is finished.
With regards to the Villa thing I wont comment on it because if it was our club in the same position I would'nt like it being the subject of talk.I personally dont think that this forum is the place for this type of discussion.Thats my own opinion an I would hope people appriciate it.
On any other matters if someone has a question I will do my best to get an honest answer.

i dont mean to get off on a bad foot though, we seem to have put our personal differences behind us so we'll let the football do the talking and having a pint and a chat after the game is what it's all about, thanks for the offer for a scoop in the anglers, i'd be surprised if any teams will be stopping off for pints after midweek games let alone weekend games, the offer is open to yer good selves for a seaside drink anytime as well though, finishing work and rushing to play a match aint ideal and we've got about 8 weeks of that to look forward to !! there might be more to have a drink and celebrate over in a few more weeks but lots of tired legs in the mean time
some huge games coming up so and i think we're all agreed that seeing as all the fancied cllubs are playing each other then it'll be somewhat clearer by the end of april who is still in with a shout or maybe who's after blowing their load, i didnt hear about the 2nd grattan fixture at the seaside 4 days after the hollyhill game till now but thanks for the heads up, more insider trading from you i guess but thanks for lettin us know, dont agree with playing teams back to back but it seems like an aul policy in the past few years
our pitch isnt great at the minute (very bumpy- we'll try to sort that out for our next home game tho...... against grattan in 2 and a half weeks)
we were looking forward to the game up at o'neill park, i hope for everyones sake that there is an improvement in the weather and the match traffic doesnt affect it too much, like you said tho, there are great alternatives in mayfield and blarney but i'd say ye'll fancy keeping us at o'neill pk tuesday week, we'll be best of friends by the end of this we'll be spending so much time togther
tizz out (of gossip)
I seem to recall people quick to give their two cents when Kinsale were in a similar position last year?! How things have changed:confused:
I dont know the ins and outs of the story but if we benefit from it then so be it. If we have to play them then we wont complain either.
Execellent two page spread in yesterdays star on the Grattan v Castleview game at the weekend. I love reading stuff like this...begs the question should Billy Lyons get a side kick in to help him cover the games?? I would love to be reading more about the AUL in the echo every nite.
I dont want to confuse the situation thats all,Tizz.We share the Anglers with them an another few an all I'm sayin is I'd rather wait till its in black an white an official till I pass comment on it,until then I'm stayin out of it.What happened with other teams last year should have no bearin on it because thats done an dusted now.What I say about what they get up to outside of Cork is exactly what it is stuff that happens outside of Cork.I personally get no satisfaction out of rubbin clubs faces in it when their down,especially Aul sides.
With regards to the fixtures all you would have to do Tizz is get your secretary to contact the Aul fixture secretary an he will be more than helpful in regards to your up an comin fixtures.Its no big secret an its not like they pull the games from a hat every week.The problem out there at the minute is that clubs have an axe to grind with the Aul an cant be bothered contacting them when they have questions to be answered.Thats what their there for an if you would like to know somthin just ask them.I'm not in favour of back to back fixtures either but I can do nothin about it,its just one of those things,ask the Gunners an Liverpool if their exactly happy with their fixture list........
I gave my 2 cents worth a few weeks back about the Aoh semis an I would have also prefered a neutral venue as I think it adds to the game itself.The pressure is all on the home side they way they are doing it at the minute an you can become complacent thinkin your on a banker cause your playin at home.Theres pros an cons to it I know but again I can do nothin about the situation now an even if I could I would have rahter it be in either Blarneys or Mayfield Fifa pitchs,an that may not have suited ye with no disrespect ment.Like any other team we love playin at home,as long as our pitch is in good nick it allows for a good game of ball.But as with all other pitchs when the weather takes over its a lottery an I'd rather not have it like that.
i'm finishin early this week so I'll get me uptake on the weekends fixtures in now an I'll tie in with ye Mon.
A good few games this weekend up Norrieland.The View ,Villa an ourselves entertain Kanturk,Leeside an Kinsale.I'd love to see 3 northside wins but that might be a bit of a long shot considering the opposition.
We have a full squad to choose from so the management will have some tough choices to make but with a game Tue against Ballypheane they will have the luxury of maybe rotating players.
Leeside will an always do give us a good game an I hope the weather gives us a break because there are a lot of us puttin a lot of effort in behind the scenes to ensure games go ahead only for the bleedin weather to get in the way.
I can see Kanturk given Castleview a good game because in fairness there attitude this season has been spot on in light of there loss'es they still battle on an make it hard for you.The Villa an Kinsale shoud be a good game an I would give Kinsale the edge in this one.I cant see any of the games bein high scorin an again I would put this down to the teams involved,but a lot will depend on the weather.If its a nice bamy Saturday then football will be the winner,if not then I'm apoligising to Leeside because our showers wont be in place for another coulpe of months an ye will have to go home mucky.
But before anyone says anthin cheeky yer all used to that anyway,;)TTFN

2 all up in in Villa. Two draws on the trot now for us... sense of Deja vu anyone? I hope not FFS! First half we could of been out of site. It was only 2 nil at half time - Derek Mc with both goals.. could and should of been 4 nil. Sat back in the second half and invitited them on us. In a carbon copy of last yr's game up there we conceded two second half goals. We should of had a penalty at two all but of course Damien wasnt going to give it. Cowardly to say the least. Having said that Villa were full value for their draw.
Leeside tomorro nite. Walking wounded for leeside at the moment? One eye on the semi at the wknd?!!!

Last weekends predictions from ye all were way off the mark ( bogman was just about the best)
How's the form lads? I haven't been on here for a while - I was out there with injury for a few months. Was up at the grattan game at the wknd but only got there in time to see the 2nd half. Grattan were probably value for the win but they are not a team that I would seriously worry about playing in the aoh final if we both made it through our tough semis. They're skillful and quick, and JP is a serious threat but if you'd ask me would I be apprehensive about playing them agian then the honest answer is no. But if you asked me are they also capable of winning both the league and aoh, then the answer is yes. as for the game itself, we scored two og's which I didnt see so I cant comment on them. Then we missed a pen when we were 2-0 down and grattan went 3-up before we got a late goal. We just didn't have the squad to put out a side against them that could go there and win. On the line injured were J Keegan, J Lyons, M Kenneally, C Ahern, E Linehan ,G O Mahony, Gonzo(absent). Others then had to play who were walking wounded just so we could field a team. It was good for a few younger players that we brought along to get experience against the league champions. We need to win now tomorrow night to put ourselves back in the frame in the league. Otherwise our chances look slim. Whether or not we'll end up doing an arsenal on things remains to be seen - I hope our squad can absorb any more injuries in the coming weeks and continue to fight on all fronts - as I mentioned earlier in the campaign our squad is threadbere.
. On the line injured were J Keegan, J Lyons, M Kenneally, C Ahern, E Linehan ,G O Mahony, Gonzo(absent).
just to let you know that Grattan also had player's missing Pa Conors,Kevin Goldsmith,Darren Geaney,Adam Lynch,Anthony Peelo,David O'Sullivan,Mark Smith & Darren Galvin
i think the panel of players that teams have to choose from will be the winnings of the league (so a big slice of luck helps here), we can all say we were missing players on the day- it hurts everyone, when all is said and done, the 3 points is what will be remembered, a very good win for grattan and they move up the table.
seasiders had a very disappointing result against villa, to say we werent happy with the ref is somewhat of an understatement, he decided to make a game of it in the 2nd half because .....who knows, we lost 2 points, a match ball (i'm using the word "lost" in the loosest sense here) and with a hard 2 weeks ahead with players missing and what have you, we dont want a repeat of last years unbeaten draw specialist streak, its all about 3 points, if you have to beat the other team and the ref then that's what you're gonna have to do
leeside in little island tomorrow night- its been an odd goal between us in the last few years so with points being dropped by both teams on saturday then its a game that both of us will be trying to win
glenthorn with a good win over park keeps them in the hunt, park still not out of it either, no team is really out but form is a great advantage this time of the year, i would like to wish grattan and bally all the best tmrw night but if there was a result that could give both teams no points then i have to say i'd like to choose that box, nothing against ye lads but i'm thinking selfish here, i'm sure its reciprocated so no hard feelings
2 big games tomorrow, more next week...... ya gotta love it !!
break a leg fellas, its gonna be just like an epsiode of 24 now, the clock is ticking and the action coming thick n fast
i'll have plenty of salt n vinegar with mine ........
you can do some talent spotting on the gallery of the refs association here http://www.isrscork.com/index.htm, good directions to grounds as well if anyone fancies a pitch-crawl at the end of the year, i'll be studying the laws of the game to try to work out what the hell went on last saturday and to figure out a way to deal with it when we get to dance again next week
tizz down but not out :(
absoltuely le tizz, a panel is what will win the league for u, not a strong 1-11. I appreciate grattan had just as many if not more missing but the luxury they have is that players will come in and they wont weaken the team. I dont know what kind of depth ballyphehane or kinsale have but we certainly dont have the same depth as grattan and it could prove pivotal now that the majority of us could be playing 2 games a week going forward.......
"Was up at the grattan game at the wknd but only got there in time to see the 2nd half.

Rebel I dont know if your takin the mickey or what but if you are that could be quite possibly the funniest post I'v read since I found this site.Brilliant an I mean that.I have to change the subject now cause me eyes are waterin an I'll **** meself if I read it again.
Hav u recovered yet littleman? Hope the wife ddnt mind the extra washing?! Now lads everyone is entitled to an opinion...
TUESDAY
Premier League
Leeside v Kinsale, ehh... draw:eek:
Grattan v Ballyphehane Celtic.... Grattan to continue their recent run of form in the league for me.
Castleview v Villa United ....local derby - competitive draw methinks.
Premier A League
Leeds v Wilton Utd ... Wilton for an easy away win
Ballyvolane v Dunbar Celtic... draw
Village Utd v Greenmount Rangers ...Home win for village
WEDNESDAY

Leeds v Coachford ... dont know much but on the league standings i'll go with leeds
THURSDAY
AUL 1
UCC v Innishvilla.... those pesky students will be off drinking or studying.. away win.
Christ lads i cannot wait for tonight. Should be a cracker. If rumours are to believed leeside are like the walking wounded. A win for us tonight and you could almost discount leeside from the title race. A loss and ye'd be right back in amongst it. I've gone for a draw purely because of recent results down in little island. Only time will tell.
I fink Grattan will prove too strong for ballyphehane. I'd love to see a draw but i dont think it will happen. Ye seem to have sorted the indifferent league form ye had at the start of the campaign and are coming good at the right time.
Sun is shining - multi's are out and dusted down. Sore feet ahoy!!
Perhaps I should have clarified a thing or two im that post weeman. I was just basically saying that ye deserve respect as a squad, and that you have a good panel of players as evidenced by the result at the weekend. But do I think you would be favourites against us in a one-off cup game with the majority of our better players fit......Nope.........
As I said already the best squad will win the league and that's why Grattan will be there or there abouts.
On another note, it was my first sample of your home turf - I commend your club because you seem progressive and dedicated and its come on leaps and bounds up there and I hope it continues to do so. You could well do with lengthening the pitch though because its not good when the keeper can kick the ball out at either end (not even will full effort) and it lands in the penalty box every time. But hats off to your club, keep up the good work
Grattan 4 Ballypheane 2
The Gratts were excellent on the night an full value for there win against one of the contenders after a nightmare start.Bally took the lead in the 2nd minute.Indicision amoung the defence on a Bally free ended up with Delea, I think pouncin to give them the lead.We had to make some changes for the game due to it bein a somewhat different game in prospect to the Leeside one and the result just shows how well we played.A credit to all the squad an management.
We laid seige to the Bally goal after they scored and if it was'nt for some great defending an a bit of luck the equaliser would have come sooner.Apeno awarded after Bally were hangin on by there finger tips after some sustained pressure an Danny Dunne duly obliged.We had 2 or 3 excellent chances to extend our lead an as luck would have it Bally from one of there few chances in the 2nd half grazed the top of the bar before we took a much deserved lead.The it turned into the Figo show from there on in.He was untouchable on the night.
Danny had the Bally back line at 6's an 7's again to cross for Figos first (a header) an from a Dunne free Figo glanced in his 2nd again a header.We were runnin rampant ,bar the odd Bally attempt on goal . Dunne an Jp missed 2 one on ones a peice before with 5 mins left Bally pulled one back.Then with a min left Decky Gostel tore through the Bally back line as if it was'nt there to square for Jp to add his customery goal an top off another tireless display from him an Dunne.
Excellent team display an another 3 points on the board.
:)Cheers for the compliments on our grounds an set up rebel.We are trying to get the best for our players so they have less to be lookin at else where an I can definetly promise you showers next season.An bigger changin rooms as we expect our new dressing rooms to be open for use before the end of this season.The pitch,well what can you say.Its on a hill,it will always be on a hill,its the feckin Norhtside an the whole place is one big hill ,but when its cut an rolled its a great place to play an the players love playin there.Its not Wembley or Turners Cross,,,,,,Its O'Neill Park,an we are very proud to call it home.
With regards to the extending of our pitch,na.It would be easier to change goalies.But we wont be doin that either because the one we have is excellent.He is or was an ex Cork mnior keeper in the Gaa no less an I have never seen anyone kick a ball from either hand or ground as far as he can .Remember if you will yer pitch is or would be the biggest in the Aul if not in Cork.So ours is well within the limits just smaller compared to yours.Our keeper just makes it look smaller again with the lenght he puts into his kick outs.
Its also worth remembering we played the quater finals of the Fai junior cup in our place,the Fai checked the dimensions themselves before granting us permission to play there once they were ok with the dimensions of the pitch.Its a neat tidy pitch,just dwarfed compared to yours.
With regards to your earlier comments ,confidence is clearly not lacking down Littleisland direction as much as fit players are.More power to you an I hope yourself an Leeside can live up to yer selfbelife.Good result against Kinsale an I wait to hear the reports.;)
Grattan were a class act winning 4 - 2Quote:

plenty of great chances were squandered by both teams, both sides missing numerous 1 and 1's and the nearest anyone got was a 2nd half free kick by derek mc that crashed off the crossbar with the keeper rooted to the floor, with the exception of derek mc its hard to see a goal coming from anywhere else in the team especially since derek varian has lost his scoring boots !!!:eek: and nobody on the bench made a difference (hard to do anything with 5 minutes :mad:)
a point doesnt knock either team out but with grattan picking up 3 where we pick up 1 then deja vu is looking horribly familiar
away to castleview on saturday is simply a must win or we'll be out at garretstown in the rock pools for the rest of the year, the 2 games up at o'neill park could make or break our season, the form team looks like grats and who'd bet against em !
what was your slant on the match towlie ?
thats for certain littleman :DQuote:

given that ye brought some players back to life that ye "rested" against grattan ye should give a good account of yourselves, jackman park is a decent set up so should give ye every chance,
we were disappointed that ye didnt score any goals for us in yer own net (as ye did for grattan on saturday- i dont think i ever came across a team conceding 3 fcukin og's before :eek:) but as you said, both sides should have put it away before the final whistle last night so we cant argue with a draw, up to us to chase grattan next tue & sat and open it up for everyone else i spose but nothing new there either, park might do us all a favour and stop the hollyhill machine briefly on saturday in mitchelstown and make it more interesting at least till may, as much as it pains me well done to grats on another big big win last night ;)
