Pre-season game: Crosshaven 1 College Corinthians 2 - Crosshaven 1 up for 70 minutes before Corinthians stepped up a gear as Crosshaven visibly tired.
just heard garyduff pulled out of the keane cup,our lads were due to play garyduff this weekend.i don't know why they pulled out
Probably have no team - I heard that last season was gonna be there last & was surprised to see there names down for the League to be honest. They have been firefighting up there for the past three seasons.Quote:

Were you at the crosshaven/corinthians match ballsac??? Were crosshaven good, because going by last seasons teams, Corinthians would have crushed them!!
i was told monday that they were having a big meeting monday night about pulling out there senior team,i didn't hear the out come of that meeting.casement are gone ballinhassig and garyduff could be going,won't the 2nd division be a joke with only 6 or 7 teams in it,i think it should go back to 2 divisions and have 12 or 13 in each division,18 games isn't enough league games in my opinionQuote:

mr money bags pratt must be broke so hence garyduff are gone :)
Jesus lads if all above is true, isn't it time the leagues looked really hard at whats happening. AUL is the same they've lost a lot of teams this year as well. Is it lack of interest or too costly for people to play?
Sad, maybe they've gone to the Shipping League? They've added 6 extra teams and are gone back to 3 divisions.Quote:

We are lucky to have a brilliant and competitive league so why not have more emphasis on it. Good luck to all Clubs because I feel this year it finally has proper MSL PREMIER CLUBS with the right traditions and attitudes. Good to be back this weekend with action. Cant wait to hear the results coming in. Perhaps we should all make an effort to get the results up asap. All the GOSSIP is over, its now football time!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Thinks having 2 divisions is a bit drastic as of yet, but if this trend continues, the MSL will have no other option really! Delighted to see garryduff gone, no heart or commitment in that so called 'club' at all. Can't wait for action to resume this weekend, should be some good keane cup games on show, giving us an early indication of how teams are ready for the new season!!Quote:

Can't wait for Sun morn. What are Glasheen like? We ve added Mick Devine, Tim Kiely and Gavin Quirke to our squad, but lost slatts, Alan McCormack and Darren Cody.
Is that Timmy Kiely ex Cork City ??Quote:

Yip. Trained away with us last few weeks and signed on tue after scoring 2 v ballincollig the week before. Tasty player, needs match time.Quote:
