for "Mpondo" above looking for directions to the Porto-Killester game, its in Paddys Hill which is around the corner from the Portmarnock Sports & Leisure Centre.
Come out the gate of the P.S.L.C. carpark and turn right up 100 yards to the lights then turn left onto Onward Walk. Another 150 yards on take second left onto Limetree Avenue. 100 yards on left is a small wooden church, driveway up to Paddys Hill Complex is just past the church. Bring your amber & black scarf, Come on PORTO!!!!!! :D
just like to wish both pike and ULAA the best of luck on sunday. What's the odds of an all Limerick final, would be great to see
Dream On Noddy, Ul Wont Get There And The Fai Wouldn't Let It Happen...
i would be shocked if ul pull off a win in galway.Quote:

if ul were to win, it would be totally against form as they are currently struggling in the lower reaches of the premier league while athenry are near the top in a strong galway league.
don't be surprised though if waterford crystal beat pike, as both teams are defensively orientated and it may even take penos to decide it !
my tips for last four are,
killester
crystal
clonmel
athenry
Athenry have to be favourites in that game however ULAA beat Galway Hibs from the same league in a earlier round?Quote:

Carrick beat Crystal 3-0 in the MJC and a week later Pike knock Carrick out of the FAI in Carrick, and your making Crystal favourites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pike to win me's thinks
and the FAI wouldn't let it happen...??????Quote:

However UL are good Cup team and league standings dont count. its all on the day.
i have seen them play also in Ballyheane and they can play
Ul 2 athenry 1
results like the one's above won't have any bearing on the game although i agree that pike should winQuote:

Athenry missed peno hit cross bar.
By all accounts an uninspiring game - both teams had some chances.
Athenry don't score much, but don't concede much either - which always gives u a chance in a cup.
This is now the fatherest they have gone in the Junior cup. Lost in the quarters a few about 2 years ago to Ballynanty.
A good crowd at the game too - possibly the biggest ever for a soccer game in Athenry. This is doing a power of good for soccer in the area, and bringing people out to watch games that normally wouldn't.
So much for Pike Rovers. I hear they were comprehensivly beaten by Crystal. Is that correct? Anyone at it?
Porto 0-2 Killester
Porto finished with 9 men, ref had a shocker :eek:
I'm off to get guntered out of me head.

Now Re-Named "Dr Sad"
pike 0-3 crystal,so much for being unstoppable after beating ballymun,went out rather tamely in what probably was their best chance in a long time to lift the fai
Castlebar Celtic beat Neilstown 4-1 and will now face Clonmel Town in the Complex next Sunday.
Semi-Finalists
Athenry
Clonmel Town or Castlebar Celtic
Killester
Waterford Crystal
Pike Rovers 0 Waterford Crystal 3
Scorers for Crystal: Niall Butler & Joe Watson (2)
Well done Crystal :)
looks like my 4 predictions may be correct !Quote:

All the Pike crowd very quiet today.Typical:) Thought they had nothing to do but to show up,Crystal did not get to the final last year for nothing.Pike just are not good enough to win an FAI.Lets be honest Crystal were not great and Pike blew there best chance of ever winning an FAI by being so arrogant with stupid comments around the town and even in the national press
Just as well I didnt put a few quid on.......whos laughing now Conny......hahahahahahahahahahaha :D
being honest i had heard that pike were sprouting off about their chances to everyone.Quote:

in recent times they have lost to clonmel,westport and now crystal when they had already enjoyed good wins and were so called favs to win it out.
i think all pike people will now have to accept that this present team is not good enough to challenge for an fai, their best effort being a quarter final which is pityfull really when you consider their aspirations !
lads i think ye are getting ahead of yourselfs Pike are not that far off it add a decent striker to that squad and it would make a huge difference.i know they were well beatin yesterday in the end but if pike scored first it could have being alot different.bad day yesterday for the limerick teams.all in all i think the standard of junior soccer is dropping at an alarming rate............
I agree with you..town will handle Castlebar this weekend without problems..thet are on a 27 match winning run and it should continue at homeQuote:

Any word on a few possible retirements or replacements then in the Pike squad for next year? know its still early enough in the season but like Clownboy said maybe this year was indeed Pikes best chance :confused:
amazing that you think this just as pike have been shafted !Quote:
