Burnsie, any idea what happened with the Bangor & Greenhills merger? Seems they have quietly dropped the Bangor GG name & crest but still play some games out of Walkinstown?

I don't know the details but it was abandoned very quickly - I don't think it even lasted a full season. Bangor have tended to move around the place for home games - it's not long ago they were based in Churchtown/Nutgrove - so I wouldn't read too much into that
Waterford announced during the week tickets were reduced to €12 for adults game v St Mochtas. Anyone who had already paid the higher price could get a refund on the difference.
Looking forward to Drogheda v Crumlin tonight - a welcome break from the league and seeing the same teams over, and over and over and over again....

There are some lovely grounds for League fans to visit in the 2nd round FAI Cup fixtures over the weekend. I reckon The Fairgreen in Limerick is one of the best, but all the home clubs have fine facilities available to all the visiting fans.
That's what's great about the FAI Cup!
OMFG the surface in Dundalk
Kerry concede a sloppy goal. Keeper let's the balls slip through his grasp.
Kerry admittedly then get away with one when not conceding what seemed like a stonewall penalty.
Some goal by James McManus for Sligo.
Kerry force the game into extra time with a goal from a free kick with the last kick of the game in normal time!
Joe Adams equalises with a superb free kick in the seventh minute of injury-time, so extra-time beckons!
The only game of the night that seems to have been remotely competitive
Kerry take the lead just over a minute into extra time!
What happened the students, I thought they had finally sorted themselves out over the last few weeks but that was quite the beating. Maybe it's just there something to the new Harps signings
Well, plus we had Seán Brennan on fire last week, but he's since left!
