But that's me being a stickler.
Good buzz around with the finals, AUL Facebook great fir last couple of weeks. Hopefully they continue with the presence at other games.
Happened to me years ago, I stepped inside the goal so the player would be offside. He missed the chance but I got booked. Did the Blackpool player get booked the other nightQuote:

Besides the divisional Cup (st Michaels) banteer and Grangevale both win cups this weekend . Both good sidesQuote:

The league run in is gonna be very close .
In fairness all the divisions despite peoples negativity towards the Aul are all still competitive. The Cups have been a breath of fresh air to be honest an the spread of trophies has been brilliant to see. Next season will see a big shake up no doubt an a re arranging of the divisions but in any job you have to clear out the chaff an restart again . Best of luck to all those still plugging away.
There are still some very good footballing sides around. I wonder when everything will be done by, surely by AOH final on June 3rd? AOH, Corinthians and leagues left.
big win today for coachford some season their havingQuote:

they did 3/2 full strength team to but still some results their getting friendly or not ..this side just get the results and job done great credit due on and off the pitchQuote:

Ive no doubt if they went into Msl division 1 now they be up the top side of it definitely and maybe premier but sadly it would take 2 years at least to get promoted to them by which time this squad might not be the same , I’d love if Aul had top clubs still but at this stage they are the only club left with a underage and facilities of there own so it’s only matter of time until there gone to, but the Msl division 3 is a lower standard then Aul premier I’d say so that’s a waste of a year for them too, sure Passage won that without losing a game and with +50 odd goal difference and they were only junior division 1 the last while .
You got it right there . A friendly doesnt matter one bit. Coachford would be motivated to play Rockmount . I cant imagine the same could be said about Rockmount playing Coachford.Quote:

Likely UCC for the league with Blarney Street competitive throughout.
Add on a Cathedral that fell away.
That 1st Division looks like it was as strong as thought at start of the season with honours spread.
Ucc will win the first division in the morning. Banteer will win the corinithians cup aswell. Going to be intresting next season how the divisions will shape up. Will coachford finally make the big move?
i wouldnt wish the msl 3rd division on anyone if thats where they end up. they'll walk it to. i wouldnt be surprised if a few pulled out at the end of the season
The spread of Trophy’s has been good this season and a bit more success for other clubs yet to come in the form of league titles.
This is fantastic as it makes a lot of other clubs think they have a chance of doing something.
The season as a whole as being more positive than negative for the AUL.
The big worry once again is the loss of more teams ultimately the League can’t sustain this.
And if they are to stop this the league needs to start asking why are the folding before the season ends and questions must be asked as to why this is happening.
Is it the leagues fault?
The Clubs own fault?
Or a combination of both?
Ultimately the league will once again pick up a few new teams and also heard talks of some second teams coming back from MSL.
All will be very interesting to see what divisions will look like if there is a restructure!?
In fairness it surely can't be worse than the league they are in now.Quote:

Who is linked with folding/moving?
Will Glen Celtic, Dunbar and Hibs be back?
Hearing SouthCoast could go.
To be quite honest the bit about second teams coming could just be rubbish but previously there has been second teams of MSL teams in the AUL Castleview are a current example.
I don’t know the rules but I have known the AUL were hoping previously the second teams would come.
As for the clubs folding they shouldn’t be allowed just back
I said the exact same . Im playing with Blackpool and it's the toughest league I've played in ever . No let up in quality in any of the division . Even rylane and rathcoole aren't pushovers or a soft 3 points . The league has been a rollercoaster and to be fair the teams that have won cups shows the strength of that division . Also the corinthians Cup I think will go to either banteer or Grangevale.Quote:

In saying that the premier A looks a bit similar which is great to see. Grangevale for me for the Corinthians cup and il stick my neck on the line and say Grattan for the AohQuote:

The reason I would go with grattan is the fact Coachford might burn out by the 5th of June so they might get caught. Grattan are big game specialists also tbfQuote:

Big win for Killumney last night in division 2. 3-0 against a good Richmond team. They seem to be scoring for fun
Two decent sides, obviously nothing between during the league campaign. More than capable further up the divisions.Quote:

Congrats to Coachford
You can only beat what's in front of you .
Dont seem to be too far off here with most with a few weeks to go, looks like Kilumney got the better of Richmond in division 2 alright and Churchvilla look like they have fallen away also.Quote:

Would imagine a bit of a reshuffle of leagues next year with the amount of teams folding or leaving for MSL in the premier divisions
It looks like some teams will be playing beyond the AOH Final date, it's a pity that is not the end point.
Fair play for quoting your own post .... 😘Quote:
