I'd imagine it was hard to judge Leeside as i think you cant really judge a team playing on those all weather pitches. But if they won they must also be strong.

---

Alright Pacman, the Hall are strong this year, they have brought a few good youths through from last year and still have a few older guys who are well experienced. Against Leeside they were just about muscled out of it, Leeside looked a bit more composed and prob deserved the 3 pts.

Leeside Results over the weekend

Everton 2 - 7 Leeside A
Dunbar Celtic 1 - 4 Leeside B
Bosco's 1 - 1 Leeside C

3 good results there, long may it continue

AUL 1
Killumney 3 Grangevale 1

Disappointing result today for us. Sometimes though you have to hold your hands up and admit that we just were not good enough and were outplayed almost all over the park. This Killumney side will take some beating, a bigger more physically strong side will be hard to find. Fair play to them - good side.

De Courcey Albion 3-2 Carrigtwohill

Bit of a suprise result but its been coming for us with a while... Finally clicked in places today.... Carrig look like a team who will be up there at the end of the season though....

Coachford 1 -3 Kinsale.
Led 1-0 and should have scored at least one more before Derek Mc equalised with a terrific header, Into injury time in 1st half our full back got sent off for handling on the goal line. Penalty converted by Derek. 1-2 at half time. The extra man for Kinsale was too much and a last ditch tackle in the box led to another spotter which gave Derek his hat trick and a ticket into the next round. Better performance from us but still searching for our 1st victory of the season

Coachford "B" 0 - 1 Kilmichael Rovers ( West Cork league )

Big shock there, well done bella, great win for ye.
Thats two cup exits for Grattan now, i get the feeling though they might not be overt disappoointed though. Its hard to judge their form at the moment, away to Wilton next week will be a huge test.

Lets see what happens

On the subject of the sending off dont have a clue what happened but that ref was equally brutal today, do feel sorry for the player, must have ben tough to take he was probably massively frustrated by the refs pefrformance.

Hope they thump wilton next week, 1 thing i will say about them, their a proper footballing team, ooze class. And for horses benefit the 1 player we were talkin bout after the game was the lad with red boots left wing back, v good player. Great delivery and ability to dribble and beat players. Littleman will have his name

---

I didnt mean that they were not disappointed yesterday Bella rather in the grand scheme of things i bet they would rather have lost to ye instead of wilton next week thats all.

Again great win for ye, didnt mean to take anything away from ye

Leeside for them up there next week so a good test to see where they're really at.

Another big win for Leeside today 7-2 away to Everton. Everton's third team i believe so maybe not as impressive as it sounds.

---

Very disappointing performance from Park.Wasnt at the game but from what i was told they missed 2 sitters and gave away a stupid penalty.
Village put in a good performance and a lot of teams will find it hard up there.

How are ya Doug. Fair deuce to ya on your honesty. When i saw ye against Blackstone i noticed that your players and management on the line accepted decisions by the ref even if they were dodgy. I like that about ye. There was a picture of Killumney on Billys Blog very recently and i was thinking to myself what a big and strong outfit they looked. Ye will still be up there in may though i think.;)

Hows it going yeah was playing sunday,must say ye have a fantastic setup down there the pitch was perfect!the game itself was fairly even,could have gone either way to be honest.

Dillons Cross 4-1 Strand Utd, Could've been more, they're a tough physical team, just a bit raw, they had a few skillful players but our experience showed, they had a player sent off towards the end, dunno what for, The referee missed a few clear penalties for us aswell, and let the game get a bit nasty by not taking control, fellas were getting theyre own reveenge because the ref wasnt doing anything about bad tackles and the likes. Back to the league next week against Park. Our first home game in 5 weeks, Silverheights is like a jungle at the moment, should be tolerable by the weekend.

Good result considering Barry Peelo said it would be a very tough match. Ya i saw a photo on Billys Blog of the Village match and the grass looks like it wasnt cut in over a month :(. Is it the Council looks after that DC ?

Thanks for comments on pitch/setup...
Talking to lads they'd agree with you could have gone either way... From the reports the Blackpool keeper made 2/3 top drawer saves, both sides had their periods where they were on top but that the visitors definitely had the better of it in the closing 30 minutes and we were fortunate on an offside call late on...

No we have to get someone to cut it bout once a month, to have it in pristine condition. Pity the Park lads, kick off 10.45 Bank Holiday Sunday in Silverheights. Not ideal. Its a fare old trek

Thanks Timmy, looking at tables today, ye are holding yere own too in 1A - I defo think there is a step up in standard from 2nd Div so we must be happy enough... We are playing Bohs in St. Michael's on Sun. They are flying at the moment, just wondering if you have played against or seen them this season?

Hi lads,
Just came across this forum. Playing with Mayfield in 1A so i said i might as well join in!

We haven't played them yet Doug, but by all accounts they are supposed to be very strong. Should be a good game. We got a nice draw as well. Away to the winners of the Cup for the last 2 years, Carrigtwohill. There is definitely a step up in class in the 1st division. A lot of teams seem to be of equal standard up there. And as ye found out at the Weekend, bigger and stronger than in the 2nd.;)

Ye probably couldn't get them at a better time Timmy, they have lost their last 4 league games on the trot so confidence can't be too good with them... We beat them 1-0 down there a few weeks ago, fine set up, pitch is huge!!! Best of luck

Wasn't planned, was just a spur of the moment thing. Thought a draw was a fair result. We were down a few with hurling championship and a christening. I felt neither team did enough to win it tho. How about yourself?

Hey DCross how ye fixed for Sunday?
The first team played up in Silverheights last week and said its very bad.Any improvement for this week?

was aul manager at any games last weekend? went to see them play munster 17s on monday night, won 4-2 i think left with few min to go. wasnt a great performance really, 2 centre halfs struggled in first half, dont know them and they had lad from castleview in midfield, good ball player but not the most mobile for a centre mid. where missing a good few i say, 2 dereks where missing and i say the 2 centre halfs from grattan where missing also. ricky getts came on at half time and scored 2 from right mid. not v impressive overall by team and at end of day must remember it was men against boys!
Good win last week bella, you have seemed to keep littleman quite all week, doesn happen much!!!! :-)
beat everton 7-2 last week, 2-2 after first 25min was very sloppy but after that got things right and kicked on from there. not a bad team at all everton for their 3rd team, some nice players.
all looking forward 2 village this week, will be tough.
B team another great win last week really going well they are in such a tough league

They played on Villages pitch, I think our one is slightly better once the grass is cut. Should have a full compiment to pick from this week, which is nice for a change, its a good job so many of the lads are into the X-Factor, keeps them in on a Saturday night. How ye fixed, what time will ye have to meet?

We normally meet around 9 o clock for 10.45 matches in the city and we leave at 9.15.With the new road we will be there by 10 at the latest.
Missing 3 lads on Sunday due to weekend away but will still have 17/18 to choose from.
Any one know about cup draws?? Micheals cup games this weekend and Billy use to have all cup draws up on AUL site.Maybe i just cant see where they are but Barry doesnt seem to have them up??????

We'll probably have 14/15 to pick from, thats with every one fit and available, yere training must be fierce competitive with a squad that size, how many would the be in the first team panel

Lads, next week is 1st round of AOH Cup, we got a nice easy draw again - Leeside A!!!!

leeside A also down to play glen celtic on same day????

Sorry for joinin in as usual but work has been mental an i just havnt had any time to sit an think,let alone type.

Bluey I'l be taken a look at ye again today up in Silverheights,grass is 6 inchs high at least an a gale force wind is blowin as we speak so it should make for a super game of football,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Also for those who think I should have come up with some sort of excuse for loosin the Fai an Mjc games,sorry but that would be pointless an a bit disrespectful to the teams who we lost to,how we lost both games we are only to aware of and
as I have already stated I hate loosing any game,but what solace I can take from the defeat is that it wasnt points lost. To say we were gutted after the game is an understatement but at least now what we are left in we have a genuine chance of doing well in an we can put all our efforts into the league an cups in the Aul.

Saw the draw for the Aoh,some interestin ties alright.

Bella congrats an best of luck in the next round,the pitch was top notch as well.

Wilton tomorrow if the weather calms down,lookin forward to the game I must say,an moreso to havin a chance to play a game against one of the best sides I personally either played against or watched in the last few years.

Blackstone 0 - 5 Park utd - Only one word AWFUL - Park didnt even have to play well!! Easiest game they will play all year

Bella Strand are a bog standard 3 division side,if ye apply half the effort ye applied against us ye should win by 3 or 4,ye beat us at least build on it.

The Village/Leeside game was transfered to Leeside,who made the call,Village/Leeside or the Aul,not meaning to sound like im bein smart just id like to know how the rest of us stand if a league game is 50/50.

Not sure what you mean by a game being 50/50? Our game was transferred from Glenthorn to Kinsale yesterday. As ye can imagine it was blowing a gale but we won 2-0. Good victory.

At Long Last:

Coachford 4 - 0 Knockavilla

Wilton 2 Gratts 1

A tale of 2 halfs for sure,we gave away 2 real poor goals in the first half,especially the 2nd but the joys for us at the minute.Gave a top class Wilton side way to much respect an space a got caught twice.Absoloutly battered Wilton in the 2nd half.Goulding scored with 25 left to give us a chance of pushin on but despite hitin the upright an and Alberto pullin off a string of superb saves to deny us it wasnt to be.Our 2nd half display was as good as iv seen this team play but again we have only ourselves to blame for the dropped points.We will learn from it.

Bog the 50/50 was in releation to games bein in danger of bein cancelled,are the travellin side in the position to say their place is playable an it will still be counted as their away game even though it was played in their ground.Yesterdays fixtures
Village were the home side on paper though the game was played in yer place,or did ye have a different up take on it,not sure an thats why im askin.

The Killer Bs had a good win Saturday,well done.

you dont know what your talking about littleman, not our fault village cant afford to cut the pitch. village gave us a scare, very good team and we lucky to get the 3points, 93 min goal. got 3points which is main thing. stop blowing yourselves up cause your going to leave yourselves down. heard myself that ye should of been 5 down at half time.
