We were well on top tho you must admit. We hit the bar aswell and there keeper made a few good saves. Great goal to win it. As far as red cards go thought it was a good call by Dunlea to pull the Glasheen player back. even when we went down to 10 men never thought we lost control of the game..... Ourselves and Ballinhassig to go up.....Hopefully:)

Middleton sn 1st div champs. Middleton 1-0 Tramore Ath (promoted)
Interesting to see if that is true. Most of the Ballinhassig team joined them from Ballincollig because of the manager. Couldn't imagine that its the clubs decision to get rid of him after the job he has done, he must have other commitments or been offered the job of managing a better team.A few of the current MSL premier managers are suppose to be stepping down so you'd never know, he is a very good manager
Keane Cup Final: Blarney United vs Douglas Hall 7pm
Should be an interesting game tonight, advantage has to go to Hall as they beat Blarney three times already this season, very convining win last time out although blarney where missing a few that day.
Rockmount 3-0 Avondale Utd tonight
Douglas Hall took the Beamish Cup tonight beating Avondale 3-2 on pens tonight after a 1-1 draw AET
Blarney Utd 2-0 Avondale Utd tonight
I predict alot of changes at Avondale next year. According to the echo lougheed and markie sull are linked with cork city. They will be a massive loss. Dont think Avondale will be the force they have been for the last few years.
Last night - Douglas Hall 3 (Mark Murphy, Gary Drennan, Strachan) Avondale Utd. 0.
Should be a good climax to the season Sunday morning Rockmount v the 'Hall in the O'Connell Cup
Rockmount beat Douglas Hall 2-1 this morning
Good stuff. Hopefully he will be able to keep onto most of the current players and add a few also. Mark O Sullivan was training with Cork City the other day.
John O'Rourke is from Cobh, played with Ramblers and then went to Shels, had to retire young due to knee problems and went on to manage Ramblers for a bit.
I think he went back playing MSL with College Corinthians after that.
Don't know anything about Kenneally only remember him from his playing days with City many many moons ago.
I was only playing golf with John last week and the fecker said nothing to me. :)
Karl Caulfield(Casement), John Meade(Blarney), Derek Varian(everton) have signed for Cork city. Big loss for the league. Wish them luck with City. Its good that MSL players are getting a chance to play for City.
Was in the Echo last night. Mark O sullivan & Lougheed were training with them too but will probably wait till after the fai cup 2nd round this weekend to sign.
barry mc govern new ringmahon manager....would like some info
In recent years was manager of Kinsale, City Wanderers (AUL), Hibs (AUL) & more recently Everton (MSL Senior) - used to be involved in the Cork Schoolboys League as manager at one stage. He is from Crosshaven originally but from what I hear he burnt his bridges there a longtime ago. I played under him at Hibernians, good coach but a tough man to deal with....
Prepare now for your trip to the 2nd Division because that is where Barry McGovern will bring you. Why do you think Everton parted company with him ? He is a gentleman, an average coach but unfortunately he will expect somebody in Ringmahon to do the training for him. But remember he is not a manager, he is clueless in that department.
Anybody else hear that Ray O'Leary is after signing with Rockmount? Thought it was bull but I just heard it from a second source
Don't think that he would sign for them seems committed to Blarney but you'd never know
There is going to be a lot of change in the Blarney team. New management coming in, John Meade has joined Cork City, Shane Barrett is supposedly going back to League of Ireland as well, Conor Meade isn't suppose to be signing back for them which leaves Kenny Coleman as the last remaining Ex-Cobh player and he may decide to follow them out.
Met Ray last night, he is going nowhere. Few new signings lined up for Blarney next season too app. Decent management set up planned for next season. Hopefully this season Blarney can push on to rattle Rockmount. About time Blarney or Douglas stepped up to the plate. :)
Anybody any update on garryduff?CITs appeal against result was thrown out, although Garryduffs players and management admitted immeadiately after the game, had some players phone CIT guys to apologise and asked not to lodge appeal as it would almost certainly mean the end for them in the MSL,
Appeal thrown out on grounds that Garryduff didnt receive their copy of the complaint form.
Typical.......
Nice easy way out for the MSL - Garryduff get away with it once again.
Heard Tiny is gone from Douglas Hall........
