Knockraha were very big all over the pitch and made it 2-2 from a corner. Glen went straight up the pitch and went 3-2 up when Dean Mulryan buried man of the match William Corcorans fantastic driven cross. In fairness to Knockraha they kept putting the high ball into the Glen box and it was causing all kinds of problems. But the Glen held on for a deserved victory in the end.
Coachford going be minus a few players for 2nd leg of semi they have no hope of winning now.be no harm because few they missing were shocking in first leg...as regards teams going senior.any premier aul team with good vacilities can go senior if accepted.few teams in senior that wouldn't last aul premier!!!
Also went up to the Michael's Cup final at Turner's Cross. Great game of football in fairness and a good showing for 1st division teams. Glen deserved there win in the end, had alot of chances throughout the game and should have put away 2/3 more. In saying that, they where very lucky that it didnt go to extra time because knockraha had 2 very good shouts for pen in 1 passage of play a few min from the end. Also Knockraha had a goal disallowed which was a joke, high ball in and there was 2 knockraha players went for header, Glen keeper came out and got beaten to it and there was a free given out. Think the ref bottled it with that and the pen decisions. Was afraid to give them to be honest. Glen have some lovely players and well able to play ball, will be a very strong prem A team next year. Only thing is they will need to get a bit of height into the team. Makes me wonder how Kinsale the Set Play specialists couldnt score in 110min against the glen. Anyway well done to Glen and also Knockraha who gave us a great game, worth the €5!!!!!!
I hear that Zero teams have applied to MSL to date, but a few applications are expected
I have spoken with the chairmen of three of the clubs mentioned and they have confirmed that they will be applying. Looks like a much weakened AUL from next season, could probably take the loss of one or two teams as in the past but if four or five top teams were to go at the same time???????????
buttevant with the set up they have are going full steam ahead,it would be no harm to see the aul get a full revamp anyway .a comeing together of the two would be ideal ,aul and msl .but i somehow cant see it happening.well done to the glen last night on their cup victory,.
Not the first time this has happened. In the nineties Castleview, Temple , Mayfield and Ballincollig all left at the same time. And it has happened other times before that. It will hurt for a while but new teams will soon fill the void. Have it on good authority that all the teams mentioned have spoken to the MSL, they might not have applied yet but all are definetly interested. Depends on who the MSL want and they can be fairly picky.Quote:

By far the best team we have played this season.
ha ha. he must have done some damage to your club so cos we're delighted with him here. as for your opinion that he shouldnt be LOI, I watched the pats v rovers game and he looked solid enough to me. course our standard of game here is higher than yours in cork so maybe you want offside and free kicks when you ask and not when referee decides. anyway ye have plenty LOI refs in Cork so we're claiming him. until further notice that is. ha haQuote:

Great result for Springfield tonight away to Castleview. Won 3-0!.
Any other results from games tonight in Aul?.
Should be a great few weeks left in the Prem Kinsale hitting form Coachford big win tonight things are beginning to heat up at the business end of the season but hats off to Park who with the points in the bag look shoe in's for the title but i know no European football for us lads but 2 and 3 spots are going to be well contested . Lets pray for some great ball and injury free last few weeks :) Best of luck to all any idea who leading golden boot ?
Wrong in my opinion to but hopefully he'll stay with ye in Limerick!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greenwood asked for it to be off because there was a death connected to there club, it is to be played next Thursday night as far as I know nowQuote:

Anybody heading to coachford Saturday for the second leg of the semi , should be a cracker I'd say !!
Coachford put 4 past wilton during the week , they have ability to score alright !! Where is the park , pearse game on ?
I am hoping to make it to Coachford ok as they wont give up without a fight and its not over til the final whistle, and the Park V Pearce game is in Mitchelstown as far as I know should be two good games. Good luck to all and here's to good sporting gamesQuote:

Hubba hearing porkies?
Not fair to make statements about clubs playing illegal players on here, thats a matter for the team playing them at the time. It's up to them to make an issue of it not for others to make assumptions.
Horse, Kanturk played an illegal player against us at the start of the season, they lost the 3points but we were not awarded the game as we were told we did not put in the objection. Cant understand the logic behind that decision, if its an illegal player it should be the same punishment no matter who puts in complaint. Just another make it up as we go along rule i suppose from the Aul.
not possible that ye didnt get the points surely. is it? never heard of that before. see lots of examples at all levels of teams being docked points for irregularitys with money etc (rangers.) but would have thought that if a team drops points to a team who have played an illegal player then they would get the 3. obviously if the team with illegal player had been beaten the opponents would not receive another 3 points but the offending team could still be deducted 3 more as punishment. not feasible in current climate to impose fines so taking points would be a good detterant.Quote:

I spoke too a few ex cobh player when I read the thread comments.. They said they are playing with the same squad for the last two years and they have not played illegal players.. Maybe the person who made those comments maybe part one of the other teams in the running. Went to the part v Pearce yesterday strong team lost in penos what I saw they have a nice team who play good football on the ground. Park scored from a stoke City type throw ball into the box with 3 min to go in extra time
Lawman, dont get me wrong we lost on the day to Kanturk so we didnt deserve the points and we didnt make an issue of not getting the points when we heard about it. Its just in all my time involved in Aul football, ive seen plenty of times where if there was an illegal player playing the other team were automatically awarded a 3 nil win. I would just like to see consistency and there should be one punishment for breaking the same rule whether we objected or whether the aul found out by spotchecking matchcards. Im only speaking from experience too, where at my former club we were at the end of those punishments before.

I thought they lost the points for somebody illegal in FAI cup? I maybe wrong. If a team loses 3 points for a game, then other team should get them. The Committee is there to make sure everything runs fairly and smoothly - so if they catch someone then the other team should get the points.Quote:

What about this club who have been caught 3 or 4 seasons in the last 6/7? Should the punishment be the same each time or should it get bigger each time? It is in the ethos of the club, and the only times they arent caught is when the other team wins as was in our case. They played an illegal player against us with 2 legal guys on the bench?
They got caught in a cup match they won earlier this season, and as the aggrieved team were walking out of the AUL meeting, the cheating side passed a comment - "Bad form for reporting us" - I mean in fairness!!!
The other side of this coin is are we punishing the volunteer who is scrapping a team together.
Just a short note to wish Innishvilla all the best in their top of the table clash with Douglas Hall in 1A on Thursday.
Should be a cracker - Innishvilla have been playing catch-up since they lost their 2nd league match of the season, but have gone unbeaten since. Douglas Hall are still unbeaten and are 3 points clear at the moment.
The two Division 1's seem to have 3 exceptional teams in them, Glen Celtic, Douglas Hall and Innishvilla have between them from 41 games lost 2 games total, drawn 5, scored 150 conceeded 24...
