That's probably the population of the town alright but as with many provincial towns there's a large hinterland. Players from all over North Leitrim. They play in the Sligo/Leitrim league, the Leitrim bit is literally Manorhamilton as there are no other clubs from Leitrim in the league (although I think that Carrick-on-Shannon have underage teams).

Decent under age structure but Manorhamilton is more a GAA town so the soccer often suffers from that.

The under 18's won the Connaught Cup shield last year or the year before.

Comfortable win for killester.

nobody to touch them.

Lump on if you can still get 3/1 - I got them a while back and its paying for the summer holidays. Hate the ba$tards but at least I will get some good out of them.

Was anybody here at Corduff's last FAI Junior Cup game? Did they have a man sent off, who was it if they did?

Bit O'Red do your own dirty work without looking for a squealer!

Plenty of ways to find out that info without looking for snitches!

And by the way Corduff are an excellently run club and will not play a player if he is under suspension. IF.

Jeez, relax the cax Doc. Somebody just mentioned it today, the thought that they would field an illegal player never entered my mind. I was just trying to find out if it was correct.

was at the killester v balla match i do agree balla keeper was man of the match . i was not to impressed with the so called dream team (killester) imo very hard to see 6 international players on the pitch apart from the 2 centre forwards who both looked like super players.also i hope someone from killester can clear something up for me when portmarnock played pike they had a guy playing up front for them who looked exactly like the number 14 you brought on i hope he was just his twin cause otherwise you could be in serious trouble..

If you knew anything at all about Portmarnock and Killester you would know that the last comment is laughable.

Yea, as far as I'm aware they are twins. Killester haven't played for weeks in a competitive game so they didn't do too bad!

You might be confusing a fella known as Wanchope with a midfielder from Killester. There is a resemblence.

Portmarnock and Killester dont mess around like that.

We played Killester two years ago in the last 32 and they beat us 2-1. We were hoping they would play a keeper who played with Malahide in the intermediate.

We learned a lesson that day on a number of fronts. Succesful clubs rarely if ever mess up when it comes to rules and organisation. The second was Killester didn't panic away from home and stood firm and thats why they are doing so well. organisation.

I noted Clonmel town through to the SF of the munster senior cup. Dont write them off in the junior.

Was talking to an old St Michaels player on Saturday and he told me that when Michael's last won the FAI in 1974, they beat Castlebar in Castlebar in the q/finas. So if omens are anything to go by, its Saints who will be lifitng the FAI this year.

it was Ballina they beat so nostalgia out the window then !!!

Just realised the 2 players you are talking about are Terry Corbally of Killester and Decky Hardy of Porto. Both tall centre forwards going a bit thin on top. Similar style players as well alright. Still you must be a bit green if you think a club like killester would play a player who has already played in the competition for another club, especially a rival like Portmarnock and in as high profile a game as against Pike!

By the way it was Killesters 2nd string that got beaten on pennos in the Leinster Junior by Greystones, there were 2 first team players involved who were coming back from injury. KILLESTER WILL WIN THE JUNIOR CUP THIS YEAR AGAIN. Believe the Doctor.

Are Inchicore in the FAI junior cup still, it's a brilliant acheivement if they are, St John Bosco reached the final last year, both are very close to each other.

ya but it would have been greystones second team also as they have a senior team so when you take that into account it might remove the aura of invincibility that is around them

killester will win fai again this year ,i have watched alot of games this year and they are streets ahead of anything i saw.they can play,mix it and adapt to being a goal up or down as their always seems to be a very good plan b,

Inexile - surprised at you with a naive comment like that! Second Team -v- Second Team proves nothing and doesn't take away from First Teams of either club.

Killester targets are (1) Retain FAI junior -guarantee place in history for Graydon (2) Retain AUL Premier A - incentive trip to Japan this year I think.

Leinster Junior and the rest are a distant 3rd priority.

The Aul really put the other organisations in the shade when it comes to looking after the winning teams, Killester went to South Africa , previous trips abroad have also been excellent, also the Aul premier managers went over to Wolves for a few "sessions", brilliant advert for their set-up

Carrick beat Redcastle on penalties.Good match.Carrick were the best team and probably deserved to win.Dont think they will go much further.
Good luck to them and i hope they win it.
As for Redcastle its time now to concentrate on the more important games ahead.They are still in all of their local competitions.Good luck.
