will i sum it up for you. Hibs (PARK) missing a keeper two centre halfs a decent centre midfielder and two frowards. The onlt player that looked like he had something about him was the young lad on the left wing. and thats just to compete. shannon looked a bit tasty best of luck to ye this yearQuote:

Final
Shannon Town A vs Bunratty A (Sat @ 7)
Park are a good young team but need to concentrate on working hard and doing the less glamorous parts of the game. Probably best that the bubble burst before the season starts and a few heads were deflated. They will challenge for their league. Town really deserved their win and are a much more solid and street wise outfit than park. They should also challenge but it will be much harder than last year for them.Quote:

Park are a decent team just didn't come together yesterday, Davy Wall was a massive loss to them in the centre on the park. They need to get off to a good start to the season though, the last couple of seasons they've been dragging their heels for the first few games by the end of it they have to many points to make up..
Cheers! Have to say the young fella ye have on the wing...hackett looks like he could be a good player. I think ye'll do well this season should be there or there abouts come the end. Best of luckQuote:

Shannon town played well last night and were really up for it. Their defence were on top and they caused problems with their movement up front.......they deserved their win.
should that not be we??Quote:

shannon town win wesly webb on penalties
match finished 1-1 shannon town were better team on the night and probally should have won match in normal time as ref denied them a blatent penalty when jamie egan was taken out with shoulder charge in last 10 -15 mins.. bunratty struggled to create many chances and seemed to rely on long ball over the top to forwards. town opened scoring when direct free kick came back of post and rebound scrambled in.. bunratty equalised from penalty spot after o'connell hacked down by town centre half fla.. 1-1 half time but town looked the more dangerous in second half with introduction of jamie egan causing bunratty plenty of problems with his pace ...
bunratty penalties terrible 3 missed ... :ball:
Not a chance was that a peno what was he meant to do let him pass him great tackleQuote:

Bunratty's penalties were terrible. well done to Shannon town on running a very good tournament and winning it.
I think it was a pen...but i was a long way away from it ;)
that said i cant imagine it was a great game to watch pitch didn't help but we are happy to have won its great to win any trophy even more so when its your own and you retain it...
Ill say one thing the standard of football had improved in the town in a year Bunratty look strong as do Hibs i think between the three of us we'll be there or there abouts in our repsective legues. :ball:
penalty from were i was standing .. taken out with a shoulder charge when straight through on goal... .. as for retaining trophy .. did bunratty not win wesly webb last year :confused:. ye looked the most impressive team in tournament bar your opening game.. best of luck in new season.Quote:

Congrats to Shannon Town great win yesterday hard fought game for both teams, Town deserved the win better team on the day..
If the match was played on a half decent pitch Bunratty would have won , the pitch was shocking its a disgrace expecting players to play on that pitch in this day and age.
All ifs and buts, pitch was terrible for both teams. I thought both teams were fairly even and although not a nice way to decide it, penalties was probably fairest way.Quote:
