Kupono Low for Rovers, cant remember who scored for Shams(Willo something I think)
Kildare seem to be struggling...6-1 v. Shels and 5-2 v. Pat's? I would have had them up for the First Division title race!
Pat McWalter, Adrian Murphy (on his debut) and Mick O'Donnell scored for UCD.
McDonagh scored for Shamrock Rovers.
i left with 5/10 to go when st. pats made a rake load of changesQuote:

True. Rovers not doing too well either.
Makes our 3-0 win v. Kilkenny look like European form! :D
I never said first team regulars, just meant players that have played for their first team. By all accounts it was mainly younger players and senior players returning from injury but included some Spanish U-21 internationals and such like. Either way it doesn't really matter, they were going to be fairly good. FC Midtjylland had a full strength team out as did we. From all reports the training trip was highly beneficial and it was good to play different opposition. No point making quick judgements on pre-season games really.Quote:

Harps fielded a mainly young team for there first freindly of the season. Not much to report from this one I heard the goal was a bit of a Goalkeeping blunder(keeping with the times :D ). Left at half time to watch the rugby
Harpskid or someone else may be able to fill in all the gorry details

Smallest crowd ever at the Brandywell, official figure was 174 I hear.
Sunday at 5pm does not work especially with the Rugby and British league cup final on tv.
Our defence was terrible for the first but the second was surely offside!Quote:

Not much action tbh Neish. Felix fielded a blend of the new youngsters and the experienced heads and experimented with a few different formations. The lads look really fit and also tried to play football rather than the auld route one.Quote:

Good run out and hopefully Felix will have learned a lot about the lads.
Next run out is away to Coleraine tomorrow night
Pre season friendly results mean nothing. I wouldn't get carried away if we won every pre season game.
Shels are away to Hartlepool today. It's a strange one, we played the exact same fixture last season, not sure if it's just coincidence or what.
Finished 0-0. Awful weather conditions ruined the game, apparently.
Shamrock Rovers 3 - 2 Irish Amateurs
Ticket prices confirmed for Drogs-Leeds clash
February 27, 2005
The ticket prices for the March 20th charity meeting of eircom League Premier Division club Drogheda United and English Championship side Leeds United have been confirmed, with half of the gate receipts to go to the Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre.
Kelly will be in the Leeds side for the friendly meeting against his hometown club.
Admission to the game, which has a 12 noon kick-off on Sunday, March 20th, has been announced as €25 (stand), €20 (ground) and €10 for students and old-age pensioners.
Leeds, currently in 10th place in the Championship table, have no game in England that weekend and consequently will be expected to bring a strong squad to United Park.
The game is sure to be an emotional homecoming for Kelly, who lost his sister Mandy to cancer in 1998, a bereavement which prompted him to set up the Cancer Support Centre in Drogheda last year
Harps were beaten 3-1 by Coleraine last night in the Pat Mc Allister testmonial game. Kevin Mc Hugh grabbed Harps goal.
