Limerick Division 1A 2012/13

Result - Thurs 28th Feb - Div. Cup Semi-Final - Granville 3 v 1 Mungret.

Mungret settled into this game quickly and were rewarded midway through the first half when they took the lead from close range when our defence failed to clear a corner. Their lead didn't last too long as we were on level terms when Cian Byrnes beat the Mungret offside trap to slot the ball under the outcoming Mungret keeper and Ken O'Donoghue was on hand to make sure by tapping the ball home. Into the second half and our fitness levels began to tell as we pushed forward in search of the lead which came midway through the half when Cian Byrnes picked the ball up on the left side and forced his way just inside the Mungret box before firing a powerful left footed drive past the Mungret keeper at his near post. Mungret never gave up and pushed forward in greater numbers in search of an equaliser but we finished the contest off on the break 5 minutes from time when Ken O'Donoghue picked the ball up again on the left side and from just inside the Mungret area he curled a right footed shot into the top left hand corner of the Mungret net. Two excellent goals scored on the night for us at a cold Jackman Park. Our A team can now look forward to a Cup Final in Jackman Park in the coming weeks.

Very fair assesment of the match. We can have no complaints, ye desrved the win. Our fitness let us down and ye're second had been coming from the start of the second half. Our attention now turns to the race for promotion. Good luck in the final!

Ya it was but they only had bare 11 players ,missing 9 players through injury and guys gone away for weekend.

Moyross 0-1 Sville

As horrible a one niller as you can imagine, we got an early goal and defended very well to keep then out, that said we had the best chances after to add a second and third. Moyross play great football, and there sideline tries their best to intimidate refs and players alike. They also missed a penalty in the first half. Ref was ok but he bottled one decision which was laughable, he gave us an indirect free inside their box for a foul, you couldn't make it up. There sideline was on stictches laughing at the call. Anyway, great result, as I said moyross played us off the park without the end product, will be no doubt a serious threat in this division next season

Indirect for a foul????WTF who was the ref?

Not sure his name, it was disgraceful

What kind of a foul? The rule for obstruction is an indirect free in the box.

This wasn't obstruction out player was taking clean out, calling any foul obstruction in the box is a spoof and a cop out. If he'd done it at the other end he would have been lynched

The rule for obstruction is an indirect free in the box


Awh come on lads

Obstruction doesnt exist in the Laws the game anymore

Lots of people dont know the laws includin that ref

I'm afraid it does exist boys,seen at least 2 this season, given correctly as indirect frees that had sidelines screaming for penalties. People really don't know some of the rules, or as you correctly pointed out, the laws. Any refs out there care to weigh in?

And I didn't see the game Booster, so I asked what type of foul it was. If he was taken out then it's clearly a penalty offence.

Those two time you seen it were wrong...

Show me where it says an indirect free kick should be givin for obstruction in the rule book and il eat my hat!!!!

That rule is gone years ago...if you block someone by accident using contact with the body it is a DIRECT free kick....and if its in the box a penatly should be givin!!!

Thats what makes a refs job so hard cos 90% of refs/player/supporters dont even know the laws of the game so your fu%ked if ur right or wrong

If you're arguing about obstruction no longer existing, you're right, it's now called impeding progress. If you were arguing about the offence tho, and I'd imagine few players argue about phrasing on Sunday mornings,it's punishable with an indirect free kick.

I disagree with the refs not been too familiar with the rules.. There's plenty of good refs out there Donal power and Steven Rooney are excellent young refs, Nigel Casey too, a good young ref coming through, as I said in all the ref handled the game Sunday well but for that, we've had him a few times now and he's one of the better ones, like players everyone has errors. He handled the sidelines very well too

Thats a bit harsh. Caherdavin are a tough team to beat. I think this will be a lot closer. Caherdavin could do some damage with their set plays against Granville.

Result Sun 10th March - Granville 2 v 0 Caherconlish.

A goal in each half from Cian Byrnes and Brian O'Doherty settled this game which was played on a very soft pitch at a very cold and wet Glenbrook on Sunday morning. Caherconlish battled for the 90 minutes and even at two down they could have drawn level but our keeper Rob Power made two excellent saves to deny them. Well done to Caherconlish who made us work hard to earn the 3 points which continues our push for promotion.

and we're the only team in the division to have beaten them this season

Agree with you. Reckon it will be a close game myself. Feeling confident after beating Summerville, bit of a bogey team for us in recent years
