FAI Junior Cup 2011/12

Great win yesterday in testing conditions, Ballymote missed one chance and were denied what looked to be a clear penalty at nil nil when there striker was felled by Adrian Walsh. Carricks wingers destroyed both flanks of the Ballymote defence and were rewarded for their excellence with goals from John James Keyes, John Murphy pen and Ian Clery in a devasting spell right before half time. John James Keyes added another with a good finish from a Martin Griffin cross with 20 to go. Ballymote got one back almost immediately following a misjudgement in the Carrick defence.

Shocking how Ballymote didn't get a penalty and then ye go down the other end and get one, and both were penalties don't get me wrong. Ballymote were the better team for most of the first half and then ye had that devastating spell which finished it. I heard the linesman said it should have been a penalty! Why didn't he flag for it so?

As I said it looked a clear penalty, I thought the officials were poor, if that game was in Waterford or Tipp, there would have being many more yellows and possibly reds. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Ya definitely should have been more bookings! What did you think of Ballymotes team?

A decent outfit, very strong but seemed to lack fitness, their right back and midfielder were blowing after 20 mins. I was very impressed by their 2 strikers especially the number 9, he was causing alot of problems especially when dropping deep to collect the ball, he made our defenders follow him and thus causing holes to appear in behind. The wind and the soft pitch probably killed any chance of decent football being played though.

Ya good assessment, Carrick were very fit and it showed on the flanks. Ha which midfielder are you talking about? Ya pitch was poor and you can't really do anything about the wind. Yer a proper outfit kept going even when 4 nil up and no giving out when things are going against ye is a good thing. Some tidy players there and I'd say ye might have a shout of winning it. Very impressed by the left midfielder, class act. Best of luck for the rest of the year.

was chatting to some one who was playing for ye, said you should've had a pen at 0-0 alright, but that Carrick were a class outfit and a step too far for ye. He was really impressed with the Carrick set-up and also reckoned that they would be contenders.

with only 3 teams getting out of Sligo/Leitrim/Roscommon area its rare enough that clubs like Ballymote get a run in it, and when you do its best to enjoy it and go out to a really good team as opposed to a narrow defeat to a middling team. playing the likes of Carrick should be a great experience and an eye opener for a progressive club like Ballymote and shows the level that all should be aspiring to. Hope ye get a good run in the Connacht Cup too.

2-9 Clonmel Celtic.4 Draw.8 Trinity Cor

Midleton at home would be well worth a flutter at 4 to 1. Decent side very capable of upsetting Ballymun.

9-2 Milford is a good shout for a few quid. Milford are no pushovers and there will be a big home crowd. Could be a big upset there.

I havent seen th article but I suppose Roddy qualified that statement by saying how many of the other 15 teams left in the draw he had seen play in the last 12 months?

I would fancy the favs in the 8 games to go through, close call on St Micks and Sandyhill, but home advantage to see Sherriff and Peake through. Best value outsider bet has to Milford at 9-2, home draw, long trip for Pike, Roscommon League has shown that the Limerick League aint all its hyped up to be.

Best of luck and safe travelling to all involved this weekend

I have watched them a few times v Caherdavin, balla and Wayside celtic they didnt look like Fai champions, Pikes two fulls that day were useless , pike didnt look like scoring at home and wayside should have scored twice in the second half.
