Limerick Division 1B 2008/09

Holycross 0-3 Bruff.

Goal from Ed Hogan about 5 minutes in. Bruff well on top for the first half. Should have had a penalty late in the half but in fairness to the ref he said he wasnt sure if it was a trip or a dive and wouldnt give it if he wasnt sure.

It could have gone either way for most of the second half, until Paddy Moloney scored with a decent strike from the edge of the box with about 10 minutes left. Three minutes later Ed Hogan got his second when he spotted the keeper had come off his line. Should have been 4 a minute later, but the ref blue for an extremely dubious offside.

0-3 it finished, a deserved win for Bruff but they had to work hard for it.

According to a Park player last night, he said Park should have won this game and that the Boro only had one or two chances in the whole game and scored from one.........

This is what I was told, but dont know if its completely accurate (as it may well have been a biased report)!!!

Fairview B 2:2 Caledonians

Fairview were one up at half time but didnt seem to get into the game when they came out in the second half. Cals scored an equiliser early in the second half and got a second to take the lead soon after. They seamed to have the game under control at that stage untill Fairview fought there way back into the game scoring from a corner.

Cals played a very fast game with a lot of young players.
Fairview were missing a lot of first team players but seem to have a big squad of good covering players.

have to say park's start to the season has been absolutely awful...1 point to show from 3 games against 3 B teams is pretty poor

True it's not what they hoped for but those 3 B teams are pretty decent. We [Coonagh] had to give 100% to beat Pike last night and Tuesday v Fairview will be no different.

I agree, park have been unlucky in there first three games, not making there chances count....... but the old saying is goals win matches. Long season ahead. dont rule them out.

Park dominated for most of the game but could not put the ball in the back of the net,boro are a tough outfit and very good in the air,boro had tops 2 chances there goal came from a corner,player tapped in from back post,we have had a terrible start to the season but still long way to go,we have trained very hard and getting no luck on the pitch with goals,we just gotta go forward now and not dwell on first 3 games.

Saw the second half of the game and I have to agree with you Spudd...how ye did not score was unbelieveable..Well impressed with the Boro midfield though ...they are a good side with a mix of young and old....some start. They might find the going tough soon enough tho...

Reckon though if ye continue playing like that ye will come good...Long and funny season ahead..

think 1st half incident was a penalty! 3 good goals and could have been more, a bit of effort and bruff could be there or there-abouts at the end of the season. For da cross it looks like a season of struggle ahead. What's new!:)

Well Larry...good win for ye at the weekend...fair play :) Nice to get the first win under the belt. Going on whats being said in this forum there could be 6 or 7 teams realistically looking to get promoted. Tough season ahead! :eek:

Cant see that happening. They are very young and dont keep the ball enough. Middle of the table more like.
