Passage 4-0 Dillions Cross
Sat 3rd: MJC Ballyvolane b 2 - Grangevale 3
Wasn't there myself, but from what I've heard Bally were down to ten before half time and put up a great battle right to the end.
Were you there Radiostar? What did you think?
Kilumney 1 Grattan O,aet.
Best of luck to kilumney.One of those weekends I supose,
A weekend of shocks so it seems - on saying that though Kilumney are a good side Littleman and sometimes these things happen
Bella - Anto Meighan is one of the few players to survive from last years Hibs squad - a good player and a great clubman too
That would be about right Bella - Terrence Mc Sweeney the manager - was in charge of Richmond B last year - he played with Hibs for a few years not too long ago!Quote:

Tut tut littleman - we are all level headed individuals on here :pQuote:

We equalised after 5mins in second half and gave as good as we got but eventually tired and got caught on the break, your centre forward scored a great goal from outside box on the half volley we chased it after that but never looked like pulling it back, made it harder by conceding an o.g.then in final 5mins we scored from penalty.
Must say ye are very well organised and best of luck for the rest of the season!
That was a huge win for Passage. Are you involved with Passage Marty?Quote:

2nd Division Res.
Crescent 0 - 0 Coachford
Ballyvolane A 2-0 Ard na Laoi,Happy enough.
Done what we had to i suppose.
Hit the bar few times and the post but we'll take it.
Yeah Radiostar this is my second season with them,we needed to win this as we had a poor start to the league so this should give us a much needed boost--pity we cant continue a league run into next week as we have the second round of the F.A.I cup (I think its that cup anyway) at home to Glen Celtic but their 1A anyway so should give us an indication of what lies ahead!
Thanks Radiostar, all the best to ye aswell. Was talking to the lads this afternoon & to be fair they said if ye had beaten us 4 or 5-3 we couldn't complain only for our keeper saving our bacon on a few occasions... He (Gary Ahern) is playing very well this season. He was sub keeper on the AUL squad last season, hopefully he will play a bigger part this year. On that subject, glad to see the Oscar Traynor games being played on Fri nights this season. With so many games this year, it's handy that we won't have free weekends beacause Gary is on AUL duty, wasn't too bad last year because we had only 16 league games but with 26 this season plus cup games, we will need to be playing every weekend weather permittingQuote:

Just need to get on the right side of a couple of results. Gain a bit of Confidence as a team and then go on an unbeaten run till the end of the season ;)
Park A 5 - 0 Kilreen
Mayfield 5 - 0 Park B
Great win again for first team.2 each for Gary O Connor and Eamon O Sullivan and 1 for Dave Dineen.
From what i heard the lads were in total control for the whole game.Played some great football and kept a clean sheet.
The less said about the b's game the better.Things were going great before this.Average of 20 players at both trainings last week.Great buzz in the squad.
Arrived at Mayfield Park to be greeted by Barry Peelo for game of the week.Lads were well up for this game.Made 7 changes from win over Glen last week.Were 1 down after 5 minutes but came back into it and held our own until half time.
Then it was just mistake after mistake all over the pitch.Mayfield hit 4 more in the second half.
Lets home we can bounce back from this.

Bella we played the game out in Kilumneys place.The pitch was in good nick,a few rabbit holes sprinkled around alright but I like rabbits so I wouldnt use um as an excuse.:pNo as I siad we had a team well capeable of getting a result an we had more than enough oppertuinitys to put the game beyond reach but as we all know if you dont put the roundy thing in the net when you have a guilt edge chance,then if the opposition do it to ya then ya only yourself to blame.
It was a good game all told.Kilumney were tough an fit,they beat Knockavilla the week before an I spoke to the ref who did the game an the manager of Knockavilla to see what they thought of Kilumney so we knew what was comin our way.I think if you have 4 or 5 corners in each half you should score from at least 1 an we didnt.We had 3 direct free kicks at goal an maybe 5 or 6 chances that we should have scored from an again we didnt score(credit the keeper with 2 tasty saves).Our frustration at not scoring only seemed to spur Kilumney on.The 2nd half we wasted so many scoring chances you could almost feel it would be Kilumneys day.To cap it all of with 2 mins off normal time one of our subs rose to meet a cross from Cans as if he was going to bust the net an it hit the inside of the post ,the keeper just turned expecting it to go into the net an it bounced into his hands.If your lucks not in then thems the joys.
They have a huge center forward who was excellently man marked by our center half Paul Lynch throughout the game till we stuipidly waited for an off side call that was'nt an off side at all an the one time the center forward got a chance he stuck it in the net.Fair dues to him.That was in the 2nd minute of the 2nd half of extra time.Kilumney played the clock down very well after that an even with all the pressure we were puttin on them the harder we tried the worse our delivery got.The 1 nil game didnt do justice to the game itself,keepers an defences on the day played very well,while midfields an forwards were not so good,again on both sides.But ya have to give credit to Kilumney,we may have had the larger proportion of outright goal scoring chances but we didnt take any an they did,we will learn a few lessons from the game.We were way down after the game as you would expect but you cant dwell on it.
It was a loss but it was a cup game an it wasnt 3 point lost.That makes it a little easier to take,but I dont like losing any game,to anyone so we will be stronger for it in our next game.

Lads any ideas where I can get the official match balls, tried cummins mahers and welshs today with no joy, I did see a twin pack in the argos catalogue, one flourescent one and one white one for e37.90. it says they're official match balls, wouldnt know whether to trust them?
Sportsgear direct if you are in a hurry for them on the Tramore Road - but littleman could point you in the right direction on the internet if you have time to spare to wait!!Quote:

If im honest we should have been out of sight by half time.
Who have ye this weekend??
Dcross,the ones in Argos are perfectly fine to use and you will not get them for a better price from any shop in the country.They are Mitre Ulimatch,Fifa Inspected as well.
I bought a good lot of them before in Argos - players and refs seem to think they are training balls for some reason :confused: - 2 years ago I was told i couldnt use a yellow ball in a match - i have no idea why!!Quote:

I think the footballs in Argos are fine - but as I said I was asked in the past not to use one of the yellow ones - so I used one of the white ones instead - they were out of the same box!!! -Quote:

And littlemam just because it didnt happen to Grattan doesnt mean it didnt happen :p I do recall you saying before that Grattan played a match where no nets were used - bizarre - never happened in a match that I was involved in but doesnt mean it didnt happen!! Local soccer is full of strange occurences
Right gents, if we want to nominate any of our team, it must be matched by a player from another club. That keeps it somewhat neutral
Im just throwin this one out lads but the squad for the Oscar Traynor game on Friday night wan posted on Billys blog today,anythoughts........................
The following is the panel for the AUL Oscar Traynor game against Kerry next Friday night.
Goalkeepers
Brendan Hurley Kinsale
Garry Aherne Grangevale
Defenders
Eric Shinkwin vice captain grattan
Brian Sullivan grattan
Mick Bradfield Kinsale
Adrian Tyner Kinsale
Sean Holland Kinsale
John Sullivan castleview
Anthony Peelo blarney street
Midfielders
Derek Delea Leeside
Brian McSweeny Knockavilla
Mark Sullivan grattan
Ger Harrington Kinsale
John Betts Blarney Street
Shane O'Neill Wilton
Strikers
Rob walsh Knockavilla
Richard Holland Kinsale
Derek McCarthy captain Kinsale
John Dennehy kanturk
Kieth Holden Macroom
Too a certain extent the squad kind of picks itself - 5 strikers and only 6 midfielders does seem a bit odd but i'm sure some of the players listed can play in a few postionsQuote:

I see the Kanturk sweeper didnt keep his place in the squad
Olachaio,how would you set an 11 from this squad up.
No actually anyone,can have a go at this one.Pick a starting 11.:rolleyes:
BrendanQuote:

I would have to admit i dont know too much about the Macroom or Kanturk Strikers in the squad!
A little info to sway your decision.Kerry play 4/5/1.There side is made up mainly of players currently playing in the league of Ireland under 20 an A championship for clubs in Kerry.They are very organised an last season had us dead an buried in the first half.A change of formation an players enabled us to get more physcial and stretcch them on the wings,hence the turn around an win.There not small in midfield and very comfortable on the ball,very comfortable.Anything other than 3/5/2 against them would give them a massive advantage.
I think its a very safe and conservative pick, I think 2 Ballyvolane players who are worth a look would be centre back Mark O'Mahony(kept Varian very quiet in Mossie Linnane final) and Martin Cronin(striker/winger) Littleman you should remember this fella!I also think Trevor Hallissey should have had a shout, I thought he was the best player I watched last season( a nice recruit littleman)Quote:
