It does not contain a roll of honour regarding league winners etc but an interesting compilation nonetheless.

Historynut- basically every major honour that the 35 current clubs won in the WJL are mentioned, with the bigger cups getting a more detailed match account.
It's done extremely well and I might have to do something with it again next year, but in a different format.
I'm currently working on a new league of Ireland book which hasn't been attempted before.
Regards
Brian
I will be posting more about the LOI book in due course

Good win for Carrick- what way did the game go.
open game of ball eoin burke put carrick ahead with a nice goal from a corner, leeds replied with a goal from a flick on from a free kick alan coady put carrick in front with a close range finish, in the 2nd half john walsh headed home at the back post from another corner, leeds scored a late consolation.Quote:

Hibs v Dungarvan United (Postponed)
I see Carrick are idle again this weekend (I presume they are still 'boycotting' the OT). They'll have been 3 weeks without a game when they play in the FAI (next week??). While it's of benefit to allow injured players recover there must be a fear of rustiness against a seemingly handy outfit.
Its not from lack of trying junior league would not give us any fixture last week even tho there was 6 premier teams with no game sitting idle and even this week there's 4 teams with no players on OT that we still have to play and they still wont give us a game. We've a challenge match Sunday and were playing the glass next Sunday week in the league which gives us a great chance to get all our returning players a good run out before Lagan Harps.Quote:

What do you mean ''boycotting'' the OT? Are all Carrick players refusing to play in the Oscar Traynor competition? If so, why?Quote:

Is this the same as boycotting or have I totally misread the situation and the Carrick boys are in bits that they don't get to wear the Waterford league jersey with pride!!Quote:

Also 7 of our team have OT winners medals already with Waterford so its not about not having any pride. I cant speak for any other Jnr league team but we train 3 nights a week and a match on the weekend, so having a free weekend when OT are playing is a well earned rest.Quote:

Competitions such as Oscar Traynor are somewhat outdated in the modern era. It is a simply a throwback to other codes and 'county rivalry'.
It is merely a nuisance in an already overcrowded season. The reaction of those who bemoan its demise is understandable, to a certain degree. However, any grasp with reality will inform people that these sentimental ties with this competition are merely that and we need to move on.
Waterford 2 - 2 Wexford AET
Wexford won on Pens(sudden death)
All the talk about Oscar Traynor whether for or against the competition can rest for a while in Waterford !!:ball:
my info is that OT manager was struggling to form a panel for kilkenny game .( One prominent Carrick player made himself available but was not asked to play , he had played previous 9 years) . With 10 teams in the league giving 16 players each club , this would mean at least 160 players to choose from. It is obvious that the Carrick players were were not the only ones unavailable. but the only ones getting "bad press"Quote:

Nice game to get Carrick ready for FAI Junior always a good encounter in recent years, the game at the start of the season typifies nil nil 2 carrick players sent off with over half an hour to play, some savage tackles twas a great game to watch of a sunday morning, promises to be the same this sunday.Quote:
