Great finish to the season even if 3 relegation spots in an 11 team league is a little harsh. I tipped Carrigaline to go down earlier but its very tight now. If Rockmount try to stay unbeaten then they'll beat UCC. Mayfield and Carrigaline to 'Germany - Austria 1982' a draw to keep them both up and relegate UCC???
Or UCC to draw, Mayfield and Carrigaline to draw and Castleview and Doulas Hall to lose thus setting up a 5 way relegation playoff finishing in October. HAHA!!!
Bout time, Big Derek got 3, Haulie got the other.Quote:

:D Ha, ha, I heard it, I swear. I couldn't print what they said after the save was made though, unless I used loads of ***** things.
:) :) Douglas Hall 3-2 Everton today hall helld on very well
Castleview 1-1 Avondale Utd
Carrigaline Utd 2-1 Mayfield Utd
Rockmount 0-0 UCC
Think this means Mayfield are relegated
Morning all,
Missed the games this weekend, can't believe Mayfield went in the end, they must really hate Carrigaline at this stage.
Undefeated through a season? Awesome, as the Echo said "That's why we're champions....."
Undefeated, I'm ****ing delighted for ye!!Quote:

Cheers Cici900 and big hugs for Billy, I know relegation threatened wasnt on the menu for View, but ye'll be back....I know you mean it from the heart...thanks.
Avondale and Rockmount tonight in the Quarter Final of the O'Connell Cup.
Mount should be well sobered up, Avondale? Probably not.
Avondale Utd 4-0 Rockmount, both teams not quite at full strength.Quote:

When we celebrate, we celebrate properly....;)
Bouyant Dale tore us apart. No answers, no excuses (except the 8 missing!!). That last goal was hit right on the money all right, as sweet as you'll see. Season over two weeks ago for Mount on this showing. More goals left in than in the last six months or so of the season. Says it all really.
After the demolition of the Mount, Avondale drove past Mayfield 3-1 in the semis and then in the final against Blarney, it finished 1-1 AET, after a scoreless 90 minutes, Dales equaliser coming in stoppage time at the end of ET. Avondale reserve keeper Kieran Buckley Barry then proceeded to save 3 penalties, and be named MOTM, as Dale won 3-0 on spot kicks. Another cup to keep the other one company.
Heres to next season.
gonna be any major moves this summer do we think?? Anybody heard anything
Heard a couple of Mount rumours, but until they are sealed I'm saying nowt!
Except that it won't be Stevie Ireland or Nigel Reo Coker or even Jonathan Coker.
Heard the college might get a couple of young guys just starting college to come on board with them! Heard have played at a good level with Ireland and been on trials across the water.
Douglas Hall may lose a couple with Harris gone.
Also heard Cliff might be moving over to help out Razor and support Dale?? any truth to that

Some result for Hall against Ramblers in the cup. Good work.
Back of the Echo saying that 3 Mount & 3 Dale players have been selected for the Ireland squad
Knew about Spratty & Rob O'Mahony but didn't know Brendan O'Connell had signed for Dale? :confused:
Weldon, Hoey & Beech for the Mount, Didn't Hoey have a broken leg Cliffy?
I asume they ment Brenden from CC or Do they mean Beezer from Douglas Hall (After his cup game)?? or is there another Brendan O'Connell from Avondale??
Strange to see Ken Hoey there hasnt played in awhile and also i would consider Weldon a surprise
They do mean Brendan from College Cors but is he still a Corinthians player or has he since signed for the Dale?Quote:

Welly has been in the squad for the last year BB so don't see why your surpried at that. An exceptionally consistant centre back, unbelievable in the air. One of the best players I've ever watched at this level who hasn't gone into LOI or abroad.
Beech as usual is the first name on the squad. One of the best players I've ever watched at this level who hasn't gone into LOI or abroad.
Nice party line Cliffy. Willie is still the main man though.Quote:

Ah, but Willie's played with many a broad!
Who was willie with over?
Leg over with many a broad..
Do you reckon? I'm sure he fell from the ugly tree...branch...hit..every..down!! :eek:Quote:

Nice to have competition for places but this is taking the p*** ...
Any comments Razor? :ball:
Caulfield is a law unto himself, no one knows what he's going to do next.
I didn't know BOC had signed until I saw the Ireland squad in the Echo last week.
Strange alright but if they want to battle it out amoungst themselves to see who is the better keeper let them have at it!! Cant see them all staying if what Shilts is saying is true!!
Any thing happen with Mount??
Did mayfield lose a few??
The new set upo of leagues should make for a better standard in the first division, hopefully it will work as a better feeder to the preimer and we can keep the standards up there high.

Dale keeping set up strange indeed, when I first saw Dave the save I wondered about him, but the more I see of him the more I understand what he's got to offer. Very surprised by them adding such a good keeper to the MOTM in the Intermediate cup final and the handy Buckley Barry. I would assume neither would be satisfied to sit on the bench.
Well he ain't the best looking chap but sure isn't he a superstar footballer?Quote:

Anybody have the full story on the on going Kinsale saga!!
They are well good enough to playing the MSL, why have they not been allowed this year??
No idea what's goin on at Kinsale, what's the word on the street?
This Avondale goalie thing is giving me enough to cope with, what's goin on Razor? I read on the Ramblers section on foot that he's playing with them tomorrow night, I assume Dave the Save is Dave the Save as I know it?
Correct, Dave has signed for Cobh.Quote:

Great for cobh,not the best for Dave but early days.
Heard that young carrigline player kelly may be going to Avondale. any truth to that?
Apparently that is true Bobby, by all accounts he's a cracking player.
Almost all of last season's Rockmount squad are back for more punishment. The Deasy brothers may sign up, Michael has already I'm sure. There are one or two other cracking new boys, but I'll keep Mum until more unfolds. Suffice it to say that that I'm very very excited about the lads coming in.
Any body know the expected start date for the leagues this year?
or even whose gonna be in the first division
