probably yere first real test v kanturk.pity you had to miss it.i thought mike lynam was assistant manager of that team.its terrible to miss the big matches. kanturk a bit far away for me,,no doubt you will have the result on here fairly quickly.met steve hackett who works with one of yere first teamers and he said yee were really fit and that former player david hickey was doing a great job. best of luck saturday.Quote:

Dave Hickey is helping out with the training as his back has packed up.Glad to have him on board too.
Yeah, hopefully it will be. I see Liam Murphy is reffing the game. We had him already this season and he did well. Looking forward to it.;)Quote:

That means you'll also be aware of the strength in the team at the moment so fingers crossed another result tomorrow against Kanturk.
Few fringe players with the squad too but the jury is still out on them commitment wise.
I fancy Glenvale in the Munster junior lads against B'collig
Agree with you here Blue & Red, Glenvale will turn some heads this season I'd say.. We had 2 great games against them last season and they were very committed and strong. They missed out on promotion in a play off against Kilreen but I'll be backing them to win AUL 2 this year. I believe they signed a few good players in the off season too.Quote:

On that note, when was the last time a Cork team did win it???
We are drawn against your B team in MJC, not sure if that will be next week, will know tomorrow I suppose

i was born and bread in the ballyvolane area but am living in carrigaline now but i still keep an eye on all teams northside and go to a game every weekend if i can. i'm sure those fringe players will be cut loose and the squad will settle down in another few weeks. let us know how ye get on against kanturk!
Shame you cant remember who you played with Col!!:cool:
best o luck in that one Doug,blackstone have a good side this year by all accounts.No idea who last Cork team was boy.Quote:

Should be a good game,i'll go to see that one alright if we're not playing at same time.
Firstly,the fixture next week,Killumney V the Gratts in the Mjc,that wont go ahead as we have a free weekend booked.
The last Cork side to win the Fai were Rockville in the late 30s or early 40s, now sadly gone. Castleview lost in the final in 61/62 and Everton lost in 65/66.We have had a few sides reach the last 16 over the last 20 years but only 2 or 3 reached the quaters.
Theres roughly 680 sides enter an its the biggest single knockout competion of its kind in Europe.I belive every Cork side would love to win it.That I do belive 100%,but honestly speaking I dont belive any Cork side expects to win it.And that my friends is and always will be our biggest downfall.
We reached the quater final 3 seasons ago and were 6 mins away from the semis(it took 9 wins to reach the semis), but the confidence gained from being in the previous years latter stages would have got us through that last 6 mins but we didnt have it an went out in extra time.We had Castlebar dead an buried 2 seasons ago an couldnt finish them off an went out on penos in the last 16,again or confidence wasnt strong enough.And last season with all due respect Red and the Ballyvolane lads ye knocked us out in the 1st rd.
The confidence our junior sides lack all stems form the fact that we as clubs arnt used to reaching the latter stages of the Fai junior.An when we do ,when faced by some of the top junior clubs(who are every bit as good if not better than our intermediate clubs) we just seem to be beaten before we reach the end line.
Yet all is not lost,the Oscar Traynor side lived the dream against a Dublin side jam packed with international junior players,littered with Fai cup winners just for good measure,but those 16 players proved that if you can just have enough self belife in the lad in front of ya,behind ya or on either side of ya,you can achive anythin,oh ya an a tiny bit of luck too.
Every competition starts somewhere,for us its tomorrow at 3 in O'Neill Park.We arnt looking to win the Fai junior cup tomorrow,just one game.Thats all we are focused on,just one game.

fair point little man! take every game as it comes, if you go out before any game thinking you have it won, then im afraid you are in for one big fall. best of luck tommorow to all!!
Hibernians reached the last 8 of the FAI cup in 1992 - eventually being knocked out by Hibernians from Galway in extra time in Shanbally!
In FAI Junior Cup finals Douglas FC lost to Fairview in the 60's while Temple lost to Cherry Orchard in the 80's
You can add Maymount and Grattan to the list of clubs who reached the last 8,but even with Olachaio an Long throws info is a very poor show from the oldest league in the country
Can be attributed to many factors really littlemam - a bit of luck sometimes can be the difference - i remember that quarter final Hibs played in and they just couldnt score - on another day they could have had fiveQuote:
