4-2 to pike
Shortest reign of FAI Cup champions ever?!
final score??
4 - 2 to pike i heard
Kilfinnane 1-2 Shelbourne (AET).
anybody got a report on the pike game lads?scorers etc?by the look of the scoreline pike were totally in control?what were the lineups?was it a good game?
Alan Barry put Pike 1 up with a good right footed shot across the keeper in off the post. Keith Harnett made it 2 with probably the goal of the game, Cross from Borris Hartnett came across goal and flicked his header near post past the keeper. 2-0 Half time. Took both teams along time to settle in the first half, Pike had a few chances and took 2, don't think from my memory that Fairview had a decent chance first half.
All changed around second half, Fairview got a goal via a Chucka free kick to pull one back, Pike held tough and managed to grab a goal against the run of play from a Hartnett header again. Took the wind out of the Fairview sails a small bit I believe. Then McGarry tacked on a very unlucky OG, the keeper getting caught out of position. 4-1 Pike. Game over really. J.Grant pulled one back, but Pike ran out the last 2-3mins for the 4-2 win. As I said previously and which wasn't meant as a slight, I believe it's the shortest reign of FAI champions in the competition, taking into account the final was on alot later than usual last season as well.
thanks blinkx,was if a fair game?any hassle like the earlier season league game?how did the officials perform?was the crowd as big as expected?

it was a dull affair to say the least...fairview had some players that just werent good enough..tommy barrett and kelliher are overated imo..grant should have been starting without a doubt.fairview had ten subs and apart from grant they were afraid to put on any one of them...gavin o shea not up to standard either...sayin that i cannot see pike winning the fai this season..

enjoyed the game but must say very disappointed with fairview,thought they really poor especially in the 1st half.agree with posters on the front two,had no pace or control to trouble pike and looked unfit to me,was,n grant playing all along.views midfield totally outclassed bar a spell in the 2nd half .big call by pike to leave out enright,but they have real quality in their squad.view might have had 10 subs but most not up to it.btw fairview fai youth champs had they any in their 21 today?is it true fairviews manager was,n there,i thought purcell was the boss.
views manager was away at stag think that was more important?
As a neutral with no affiliation to any Limerick club, I think this is an unfair comment. Whether it was for a month, three months or a year, the record books will show 2010 F.A.I. Junior Cup winners were Fairview Rangers.Quote:

no there was none of the youth team last year in the panel for today..think its tough on the young lads coming through seeing fairview signing so many players and not giving them a chance, purcell was on the sideline today but stewie fitz is the manager and jason was only giving a handQuote:

heard rumour last night regional looking at objection
was at the match and i have to say views managment team got there team sheet all wrong how in gods name can anyone start tommy barret and robbie kellegher up front instead of grant and darren o sullivan the pike back 4 had a walk in the park again them. i know daz had been injuried but i was told he was fit and ready to play everyone at that game could see the wrong strikers were picked for the view. pike out classed them all over the field and IMO they will take alot of stopping this season they have wayne colbert to come into that team aswell massve massive player.
i must say one thing you have to give view big credit everyone of them came in to the pike club for a few drinks after the match would pike of done that if they lost away to the view not a chance it just shows you the class of fairview as a club.
heard the midfield for view o shea,quinn+o brian were poor + doyle was shocking how did mc,garry play?
Wouldn't be the FAI without a Limerick team throwing a spanner in the works.Quote:

Fair play too Pike yesterday..completely deserved their win. I found the match a little flat for what was involved.. How P.Maloney cant get a cap is beyond me.... ran the view ragged....a word of prasie to the groundstaff...excellent job with the pitch and i like the painting of the railings...Also a word of praise for the officials excel job by them..

It was like watching boys v Men all over the field

all that is noted by irish manager
If Holly told the regional management to but in an objection he should be banned from every club in Limerick.

Thought Alan Barry pa maloney and Mullins were very good for Pike, could not really pick out anyone for the view, Pike looked a lot fitter more organised and hungrier for it. Hopefully now they can go on and do well
Was at the game, better team won, Fairview looked tired and didn't trouble pike down either wing, i have to say one thing i though the referee was fantastic, have seen him on the line at limerick matches but he controlled the game brilliantly yesterday. He took no crap from either team and left alot go and it made for a better game
think tah its fair enough to miss a junior game if you are at one of your best mates stag that is probably booked about a year . dont know everyone is making a big deal about this . Pike were the better team yesterday and the manager im sure picked that team so probably doesent make a difference if he was there or notQuote:

sure the view don't beat them often to give them a chance of that...ha ha...also rumour had it that they had plenty of money as there was nobody taking money on the golf course side...lolQuote:
