FAI Junior Cup 2009/10

Upstairs in the pike club already has ladies and gents toilets a kitchen and enough floor space to hold 250 people, there have been many ideas over the years what to do with "upstairs" in the pike a gym, snooker tables etc, the existing dressing rooms will be turned in store rooms , as the store room we already have is too small (full of trophies)....also pike have 2 top class pitches not one, there are many clubs would give their right arm for Pikes facilities, and its all down to the hard work of the real pike people, the same applies to the view boro etc.

What the hell is your problem with the boro.. i asked a simple question as i had been previously informed by a member of pike that they were building new dressing rooms.Gave them a copy of the boro's plans when asked...that was what the buy a brick was for...suprised that they are going upstairs...
as for you last comment... you should concentrate on improvimg your performance and my club will do likewise..

Blackjack,

Apologies but my response to your question about my club seems to have started a bit more 'Pike bashing'

Its ok longshanks you know the saying water off a ducks back.

Rules and the FAI

I know this is different as it was the SFAI, last years U16 girls final was more like an U16's Killala V U18's Stellas Maris from Dublin. How did this happen, it happened because the difference between Summer and Winter soccer. 3 members of the Stellas Maris wining team was too old for the Irish U17's squad which has reached the European semi-final but was on the U19's squad. If the same dates applied this year only 1 member of our squad would be too old but unfortunate they have changedthem too the proper dates. We lost the game 3-0 but this is not sour grapes but it was not a level situation.

Round Tower, my wifes nephew will be 18 in January yet he was eligible to play in the Connacht Cup U-16 final for Charlestown a few weeks back!?!? Thank god the Junior Cup doesnt have an 'age' rule, could you imagine the amount of objections then?? (Didnt Shay Given play in a Junior Cup final as a 15yr old??)

Yes that would be our U16's season of last season the 2009 so he was U16 on the 01.01.2009 which is the rule in Mayo, he would be still U17 this year and U18 next year. Are ye still playing where we played ye down there 12 or 13 years ago it was on the left as go from Ballsodare towards Ballygawly.

yeah as far as I know its been the same pitch for ages, looks alright from the road, flat, etc....but its awful boggy ground, we were 3-0 up after 20 mins to a team earlier in the season when a bog oak root game up through the surface, the ref abandoned the game, the league awarded the opposition a 1-0 win, it nearly cost us big time, we only won the league on goal difference. We are hoping to get some work done on it over the summer......

Hey lads just heard that the final will be officated by cork officals,I know the ref from the cork aul and he would be on of the top refs in our leauge,so may the best team win after all the drama that went on recently in this competion!

Lets hope the fai junior cup final is a good one after all that has gone on this season!!

I was involved with a club beaten in the 1/4 final.

My personal opinion is that i would like to see fairview winning the cup!!

I am also glad that pike have gone on to win some silverware!!

Heres to a great cup final in cork

view too win by 2 goals..

Well done to fairview.

good game in fairness saints had better of chances but we kept plugging away and sneaked it so funny at start of game saints singing are u watching pike rovers makes them look stupid now saints taught they had game won :bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

Great to bring it back to Limerick. Fair play to all involved.

A good game played in a very sporting manner with just one yellow card shown. The Cork officials had an easy afternoon, no bad tackles, no dissent - a very clean game of football. St.Michaels were the better team but really it was a case of two excellent defences. Chalky Walsh won 'Man of the Match' award but must have been run close by Paul Breen, Davy Ryan and Brian Buckley. St.Michaels had huge support which added to the atmosphere of the occasion. At the end of the penalty shoot-out, instead of relishing their joy at winning, several of the Fairview players, led by their captain Brian Buckley, immediately went to the St.Michaels players to comisserate with them - most sporting of them. Congratulations to Fairview Rangers on their win and excellent achievement of junior and youths F.A.I. double.

What an achievement by Fairview, 8-time FAI Junior Cup winners, FAI Junior and Youths Cup winners in the same season. Congratulations, a great club. First club to do that unique double. Listening on the radio it sounded like a good atmosphere at Turner's Cross. Thought it was a disgrace the way Live95FM covered the game - why they covered the 2nd half of the Munster Football Semi and wouldn't switch to the soccer from the very start was a joke, the FAI Junior Cup Final is 20 times a bigger game than the Munster GAA Football Semi-final between two sh1te counties that are mediocre at best, why they didn't cover the soccer from the start beats me - Fairview going for an unprecidented 8th FAI...

Was listening myself and to be honest it sounded like a very even game, like the good old days with the penalties commentary,its actually way more exciting listening than watchin a shoot out, thought it was great to hear soccer on the wireless again,hard lines on Cosgrave the ex Fairview man on missing such an important penalty, well done to Fairview on the double and i'm sure St Michael's will be back, but overall great for Limerick junior soccer
