I agree. Some teams get very little football between November & February due to the weather & playing in the 'summer' months would, in theory, lead to better pitches & the possibility of better quality football.Quote:

I would prefer to lose 1 or 2 players to GAA than miss 4 months of football!
Will never happen, it's hard enough to get commitment off guys never mind during the summer months with holidays etc
Any news with the new corinthians manager yet.
Beamish Cup
Rockmount 2-1 Douglas Hall
Rockmount 2 Douglas Hall 1. 2 first half goals from Chris Byrne and Chris Butt had Mount ahead at the break. It could have been a lot more. Hall came out battling in the second half forcing a good save from Brendan early on. They threw everything at Mount and got their reward with 25 to go. They had 2 players sent off in the last 15. Gary Prout for a second yellow and the centre forward for a bad tackle in the middle of the field. No arguments over either to be fair. Surely Hall should be looking at the dog fight that they could become involved in and watching the discipline. I would think they can ill afford to lose players to suspension at this vital stage of the season. Time for the management to step up the efforts with that. Good result for the Mount though.
Great result for mount. 2 1st half goals killed the hall and heads dropped.came out battling in second half to be fair.was very impressed with howey as usual and halls no.10..not sure of his name.? Mount have a right chance now to win the cup and i think they need it
It would be a shame to see douglas hall to go down.
What wast to be impressed about Zico ?
Standard of football was poor along with refereeing .
Didn't see howie do anything special compared to any other player on the pitch
Some big games this weekend regarding relegation
If Mayfield can beat Ucc tonight it would be a massive 3 points and can push them towards safety.If midelton beat corinthians tomorrow i think that will keep Midelton up and all but end corinthians title hopes
As corinthians play Avondale next week if the gap was 4 points and they had 4 games in hand i think it would be wrapped up for Avondale as i think it would be a big ask for corinthians to beat them twice
UCC 2 Mayfield 0
Never said i was impressed with the football hawk. Just taught howey cleaned up everything with the exception of the one mistake he made that the hall striker finished it well.
2 0 to ucc ..think mayfield will go down but dont know who else will go down
Mayfield have to go down.
Going to watch cors and midlton game. Lovely day for a game a ball and the pitch shuld b in very good condition. Think cors will win it.. whos after taking over from paddy does anyone know?
Avondale Utd 3-0 Tramore
One way traffic for the most part.
Spratty put Dale one up before half time and it wasn't until a late brace by Roy Long that the game was put beyond doubt.
Tramore keeper had a stormer and they defended well against constant pressure.
Good win for the dale tremore played well.
Fermoy beat Glasheen away on pens in the cup. 1-1 at full time and end of ex time. Good outfit up their and Kier O Mahony has them very well drilled. Very tough enjoyable game. We scored all 5 pens, they missed their first.
Cors 2-2 Midleton.
College Cors led 2-1 at h t vs ten men. Midleton battled and scored early sec half and saw it out from there.
Corinthians letting the league slip. looks like avondales league again.
Asked last night by a club member to clarify that he is not Glenbuck. He is been approached a bit on the aggressive side in last few weeks. So this is it lads, the army man is not Glenbuck. Many thanks guys.
Bandon 2 - Everton 2 . Everton through on pens . Apparently very tough game with a lot of hard tackles
You're not that bad, who would approach somebody like that!
