Longford 4 Athlone 3. Sounds like it was a bit of craic.
Waterford Utd 3-1 Wexford Oscar Traynor team. Game was played in Carriganore tonight.
Inishowen Oscar Traynor 0-1 Finn Harps
Wilfried Tagbo with a second goal in two trial games. Looks like he'll be signing for the season.
FAI Intermediate player of the year 2013 Malachy McDermott up on trial at the minute too after leaving the Donegal GAA panel.
Derry City 3-0 NI Juniors (basically a side of IL First Division players).
Pretty poor match all round.
His style of play should suit harps so #bogballQuote:

Harps have played four games in pre-season without conceding a goal now.
Harps missed a last minute penalty tooQuote:

Sligo 3 Waterford 0.. Sligo look to be very strong . Devaney adds good bit of pace on the right, while Sandr also looks lively. The striker Nielson looks a very good addition. They could surprise a few this season, but have to be tested at the back.
Harps gonna Harp.Quote:

I wasn't down at it but not a great game by all accounts.
No not up to much at all we played ok at best but in fairness to Wexford they were well organised and not a bad side,it was typicall pre season stuff.
Cabinteely now on Monday who I expect to be worse than Tolka Rovers were last Monday and then Shels on Friday who are worse than both.Quote:

Not something to be celebrated too much, Harps look a solid outfit, same as last year and still toothless upfront, same as last year. If Horgan wasn't so negative you could have a good tilt at the Division IMO. Why is a right back taking your penalties and not a striker? Strange.Quote:

All the Harps fans were wondering why McNulty was taking the penalty too. We're fairly crap at penalties though for the past number of seasons.Quote:

Would like to think we'll have a tilt at promotion this season anyway, but we are incredibly negative alright, which severely hampered us last season and I fear will do the same this season.
Alan Keane was our right back when taking our penalties.
No reason full backs can't take penalties. Leighton Baines and Denis Irwin for example. I'm sure there's plenty of others.
Phil neal at Liverpool and ray Stewart for West Ham in the 80s. The 2 best pen takers of their time. Both right backs!Quote:

Well in fairness I thought he was too obvious to mention!Quote:

It was supposed to be but they were already booked to play Shams (drew 2 all). BitoRed played Ballysadore Utd who were celebrating 40 years and are looked after by Bomber Savage of the first cup winning team of 1983. Gutted they conceded.Quote:

Really hard working club with teams at all levels and make a good contribution to local football. 3 of Rovers u19 at the moment came through their set-up.Quote:

Handful of players there with both Premier and First Division experience.
Finished 6-0. It was 1-0 at half time and the Cabinteely keeper had to go off, their second choice didn't have a great game.
They've a few decent players, I thought they'd be a lot worse. If they can stay compact at the back and well disciplined they can pick up a few wins in the first division.
Best of luck to them.
For us that's 15 goals scored and 0 conceded in 3 games this week. Kilduff with 4 of those all off the bench. Looking forward to the real stuff starting and seeing how we're set up for the season. I think we're a central midfielder or 2 short to win the league.
Bae young Brilly that played with us, the only player I can say with confidence I know a good bit about is Jamie McGlynn, can see them getting battered from pillar to post in 99% of games.Quote:

Most of the players named there were under 19 players from around Pat's, Shamrock Rovers, Bray etc. A few of them signed from LSL, and a handful of them already with LOI experience. Goalkeeper Shane Fagan was with Shamrock Rovers B last season in the First Division as well as their under 19s.
They've still time to sign a couple more too, and will certainly be no pushover, and Eddie Gormley will have them well drilled too.
