Just realised the 2 players you are talking about are Terry Corbally of Killester and Decky Hardy of Porto. Both tall centre forwards going a bit thin on top. Similar style players as well alright. Still you must be a bit green if you think a club like killester would play a player who has already played in the competition for another club, especially a rival like Portmarnock and in as high profile a game as against Pike!

By the way it was Killesters 2nd string that got beaten on pennos in the Leinster Junior by Greystones, there were 2 first team players involved who were coming back from injury. KILLESTER WILL WIN THE JUNIOR CUP THIS YEAR AGAIN. Believe the Doctor.

ya but it would have been greystones second team also as they have a senior team so when you take that into account it might remove the aura of invincibility that is around them

Inexile - surprised at you with a naive comment like that! Second Team -v- Second Team proves nothing and doesn't take away from First Teams of either club.

Killester targets are (1) Retain FAI junior -guarantee place in history for Graydon (2) Retain AUL Premier A - incentive trip to Japan this year I think.

Leinster Junior and the rest are a distant 3rd priority.

The Aul really put the other organisations in the shade when it comes to looking after the winning teams, Killester went to South Africa , previous trips abroad have also been excellent, also the Aul premier managers went over to Wolves for a few "sessions", brilliant advert for their set-up

Carrick beat Redcastle on penalties.Good match.Carrick were the best team and probably deserved to win.Dont think they will go much further.
Good luck to them and i hope they win it.
As for Redcastle its time now to concentrate on the more important games ahead.They are still in all of their local competitions.Good luck.
