Not jealousy, just realistic. I would love the Cork sides to progress but it simply wont happen
on a serious note NEDGE, i do feel it is a bit of jealosy on your behalf!! for a person who coments on the senior league forum and Senuior league predictions, a bit of support for the cork would be grateful!!! i would love top see a cork team goin further and winning the cup!!
All Cork teams have very difficult games this weekend and they are in my opinion very hard to call.
If Nedge thinks they'll all go under then that's his entitlement. He might be right. :D
Hey Glenbuck any truth in the rumour that the Rockmount players were unhappy with billy cronins first 11 he put out against Crumblin and their was dissent in the ranks and theres 2 or 3 after packing up.
Terrible news to hear Youghal, gonna have to change my bet for the weekend so!!
Should be wrapping yerselves up in cotton wool before such a big game, shouldnt even take such risks as playing meaningless friendlies, which obviously could, and has, led to injuries before such a big game.
But I suppose hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Not that I have heard. Will check with my source nearer the inner circle but looking at the starting 11 I dont think he could have done any more.
hint of sarcasm there Glenbuck? My story is true.Moylan is definitely out and the players and club committee are far from getting on.The keeper situation is more murky.I am trying to find out if Kearns is out for definite.I'm hearing conflicting stories,neither story from a player,but he looked bad coming off and the day after heading to physio but fingers crossed.
Footie fanatic,I guess the friendly was superstition.They played them in friendlies before each round and they have got this far so maybe that was their thinking.Its the only reason I can come up with for a silly game which could prove costly
Where was kinger no sign even on the bench?
]If the truth be known he was away for the weekend in Dublin. Booked before the original game was cancelled. Unfortunate but true. Nothing else in it.
bloody usher!!!
Avondale 2 up on bluebell. Colin o brien and mark sull
Bluebell 0-2 Avondale ft
Youghal drew 1-1. Midleton lost 3-1
Cherry Orchard 1 (G Curran), Belgrove 1 (P Ryan)
Midleton were going ok for the first twenty then gave away 2 goals in 5 the space of 5mins and then had a player sent off for 2 yellows so it was a uphill struggle from there. Fair play to avondale and youghal good results there lets hope they can finish off the job in the replay
Great result for Avondale - fair play to them - never an easy task to travel to Dublin and return with a win. Youghal also deserve great credit and Midleton were always going to be up against it v. Crumlin. Great to see the Cork flag still flying in the Int. Cup
well done to avondale fantastic result, looks like my earlier prediction for them to win the cup is still on track,come on the dale!! as for youghal outstanding, hopefully they will get a good crowd next sunday for replay and a result, midleton met a team far superior on the day, crumlin were by far the better team and bossed it through out! sending off really had nothing to do with the result but i have to question the referee decision for both yellow cards, first one 5 mins gone,he books the player for tapping the ball to crumlins left back, 15mins later books him for a shirt pull in crumlin half of pitch!! i was watching the match from behind the crumlin dugout and they were in as much shock as anyone, ruined the game from the spectators point of you!! comical near the end when crumlin player got booked for following through with his shot after a late offside!! how much have the msl racked up in fines for those yellow cards, times must be tough!!! must say though was impressed with midleton's fighting spirit came out second half with heads up and gave it a right go, could of easily dropped and used the excuse of bad ref's decisions and lost by more! oh.. the comment the ref made for the second yellow( i have to, i'm being accessed) if that was the case most games would end up 7vs 7!!
Avondale drawn away to Crumlin in the semi final
Belgrove/Cherry Orchard v Youghal/Sacred Heart is other one, April 10th
Think Avondale have proved themselves the wounded beast in The intermediate cup this year. Much was talked about their anticipated demise after Caulfield left, but they have shown once again they are still on of the top amateur teams in Ireland.
I think they will get a gud result in Crimlin and fancy them to win it outright. Would love a belgrove/Avondale final in Cork, Belgrove obviously a strong team after their destruction of Douglas hall!
Avondale had a great result but still a long long way from winning it. Crumlin are going for 3 in a row (I think) and easily disposed of Midleton so would not say Avondale will be even favourites here. Also, with belgrove easily knocking out D.Hall it would be hard to see beyond them too (if they get passed cherry orchard). As for the league I think it will be a two horse race between D.Hall and Rockmount and I think it will go down to last few games. D.Hall have the PERFECT fixture next with Tramore just to steady the ship, it would have been interesting if they had a trickier tie. Douglas Hall will probably win it still as they have showed how good they are and I know that they are very confident up there. The league top and bottom is heating up nicely. I know a few were not admirers of J.Caulfield but winning the Collingwood was a great achievement for him and if they stay up will be a good job done, should he bring UCC down though would have to be considered a miserable season. Tramore are gone for me but who goes with them will be very interesting.............the students might have to put away the books for a while and get ready for a battle with Mayfield & Marys.
crumlin to win intermediate cup , they are top draw side. Will take a very good team to beat them.
Youghal 1-2 Sacred Heart
Also heard that Cherry Orchard beat Belgrove in the other game.
Semi Finals
Crumlin Utd v Avondale Utd
Cherry Orchard v Sacred Heart
heard a rumour Crumlin are having issues with their pitch and are contemplating moving their semi to Richmond Park.
BEST OF LUCK to Avondale on Sunday. Heard over the weekend that Avondale were drawn away from home in every round of the cup (obviously except replay to College Corinthians) - must be a good luck thing at this stage!!! Heard from Midleton that Crumlin should win comfortably, best team in Ireland. Avondale on their day can mix it with anyone I think. They are very physical this year too. It would be an unbelievable feat if they won it outright without any home draw!
Would also like to give the best of luck to Avondale. The stat about being drawn away in every round is unreal, fantastic achievement if they were to continue this away form and beat crumlin on their own patch. Great team and hope they can do Cork proud up in Dublin!!!!
good luck to avondale at the weekend
here the finals in cork if they win so they might finally get that 'home' draw
i'll be more than likely going up to this one lads.
So if anyone genuinely wants updates then PM me your mobile number.
Best of Luck to Avondale on Sunday.
Ill do my best to update this forum with any updates throughout the game.
All the best to Avondale on Sunday.
Keep the Cork flag flying!!
