What Mervue team will that be,theyve a junior team in the Galway Junior Premier Division?
Not sure... Without knowing the ins and outs of it, I assume the only reason that we're not playing Galway is that when our pre-season schedule was being put together they couldn't commit to dates as they were only assembling a squad at that stage.
We're also due to play Harps in Galway on Sunday.
At any rate, with this weather we'll be lucky to get to play the game.
Harps are playing a non-league Galway side on Saturday too before playing Cork in Drom on Sunday.
news from drom that no games taking place this weekend pitches closedQuote:

We're going to win the league.
Who got the goals,drogs must have switched off a ht or was it Waterford showed up.
Goals for Foley, Fabio, o'neill, Brady and Gav Brennan. We made changes at ht and throughout the second half.Quote:

Horrid wind didnt help either teams too!Quote:

The real test comes in March.
Galway - Sligo Rovers
Eamonn Deacy Park unplayable, pointlessly moved to Mervue Fahy's Field astro 7.30pm. No charge for entry.
Ladies league cup game there at 2pm tomorrow so decision made to move friendlyQuote:

There have been changes to the kick-off times and venues for Cork City’s two friendly fixtures this weekend, due to the inclement weather.
The fixture against Mervue United this afternoon will now kick off at 5:30 pm instead of 4:30, and will take place on the astro turf pitch at Fahy’s Field.
Sunday’s fixture against Finn Harps will also take place on the astro turf pitch at Fahy’s Field, and will now kick off at 1.45 pm.
Why do Extratime.ie bother with a page of 'live updates' but not a single update on any ?
Cork City 6-1 Mervue Utd.
We fielded a fairly experimental lineup, lots of changes at half time.
Goals came from Elding (2), O'Sullivan, Buckley, Lehane, Tnonis.
Galway 5-2 Sligo at the moment
Ended 5-3 to Galway FC
The result doesn't bother me at this stage of the season, but the decision to use some of our U-19s creates genuine worries about our depth. None of them are near good enough to be considered for a Premier Division top-half side.
Harps 0-0 Westport United. Also on Fahy's Field astro pitch.
Drogheda UTD 0 v 2 Wexford Youths FT
Ye lost to a team only put together in the past month - credit where it's due. Might have only been a preseason friendly but surely the Cup holders should have cruised to a win.Quote:

Is cork playing against finn today?
Yeah, 1.45pm kick-off on the astro as Fahy's Field.Quote:

Its a pre season friendly the result is quite meaningless to a team like Sligo.
And you failed to retain the title as a result.Quote:

If the result was meaningless to Sligo, then why use it as an argument that the U-19s are not good enough? And the DVD jibe is a bit lame, applied to a different club that no longer exists.
Harps 3-2 up on Cork in Galway.
This is going to be a bigger result than sligo last year.
