No he was nt on time we figured he got lost so rang the Aul who passed on his number and we had to direct him.....kicked off just after 7 but he done only ok looked very young and was nt firm enough with his decisions seemed a bit intimated by players but overall would gave him 6/10 for his performance........Quote:

In the county cup away goals don't count. We played in the semi last year. Lost 3:1 away, won 2:0 at home - extra time and penos decided the game...Quote:

Ballyvolane 2 Greenwood 2
A game we could have won but the first 15 mins told its own story. 2 Down in under 15 minutes and deservedly so !! Greenwood flrw out of the blocks and hit before we even decided to wake up. To be fair we fought back and got one before half time through Colm Forde which i think turn the game in our favour. Second half we played all the ball but just couldnt break them down, only for us to score in the last 5 minutes to equalise. For me it was 2 points dropped because once again we had the chances. There was issues with the ref but thats another days story. Sticky side Greenwood but i felt they resorted to long ball constantly. But thats just my opinion.
Huge game sunday against Kanturk. Cant come fast enough for us. and im sure kanturk aswell.
well just reading the corkaul blog and AUL 2A title race is very tight at the min.... all 3 teams still in it. out of the 3 you would have to say that the all round best team would be springfield A, they are decent footballing side and compliment this well with solid over all fitness..
millstreet have come on well this year in comparison to other years, when they were not as strong a side as im sure they would admit. Seen them play a few times this year and they are a strong physical outfit and very fit i thought. not the most footballing of sides but they have a few handy individuals on the team
Waterloo are the final team, good strong and fit side too. not the greatest of sides in terms of footballing abilities as the long ball seems to be their forte thorughout any of their games i have seen. the long ball game is aided well tho for them as they have some quick and atheltic players in midfield and upfront..
will be an interesting race, i tip springfield solely on what i have seen on all 3 teams. waterloo/millstreet to battle for second place...
aside from that the rest of the league is settled i suppose, cresent draws cost them a higher placed position mind you i do not think they are of same calibre as the top 3 teams in the league. hillington are surely down along with glanworth i think?
does anyone know if it is still 2 going up from aul 2 and how many going down?
Looking forward to our game v Kinsale tomorrow, pitch in great nick, could very well be a case of winner takes all but a draw would suite us more than the seasiders

What about the ref (in the 95th minute) awarding greenwood what he thought was a free in, only to change his mind and give a free out when he saw the incident happened inside the box.
Rock, i honestly thought he was giving a free in and have no idea why we were givin the free unless he thought both players were pulling at each other. It also begs the question why we were not awarded a penalty in the second half when a Greenwood player practically caught the ball ??
So i suppose there were claims on both sides, but none given.
I'm involved with Greenwood and could not believe how the ref changed his decision. From his position near midfield , the ref blew his whistle and pointed in the direction of the Ballyvolane goal. We were screaming penalty and shouted to our player to stay down where he was as the ref was now walking towards him. Once the ref came up to our player, whose was at least 4/5 feet inside the penalty area close to the end line, the ref then indicated a free out!!Quote:

Well littleman i walked past yer pitch while ago and see it was in the process of being rolled, fair play to ye the pitch looks immaculate and thats the only way it should be for what could be the title deciding game..
On the game itself i would have to make ye slight favorites, providing everyone is fit and ready to go that is.. I hope ye do it aswell and beat Kinsale and leeside and take the league cos to be honest since Christmas ye have been flying and i think ye deserve it and plus i will always support northside teams, so on behalf of Bohs lads BEST OF LUCK

This almost worked as we had 2 one on ones that we failed to score from. We started well and you guys came back strongly. A draw was probably a fair result, in my opinion.
Drove past it about 10 mins ago looks in great shape i must say well done and best of luck tomorrow littleman hope ye stuff "um!! bring the league back to the northside again!!Quote:

Had various other chances but failed to convert coupled with a few excellent saves from their keeper. A good game and credit to Coachford- don't think they will have any trouble staying up.Quote:

We needed alot of picking up and the 4-3 result down in Waterloo was a massive result. With all respect to Milstreet- because when they beat us we had alot out- Waterloo are the best team we have come up against in this league and they are going to push us all the way. It is going to be a tough run in but we have 6 home games and it is in our hands with both contenders to play at home. So we can have no excuses at the end.
Good luck to all involved- may the best team win
Yes, that seems to be how hings are shaping up alright..... mind you, you would be surprised some other teams in that league are handy enough on their day (Castle Celtic/Killowen/Cresent spring to mind) but i suppose the main thing in this league is to achieve consistency in results and performances and that can be harder task than people think....
All the best to teams involved as you say though.
Coming towards the end of season our point against Ballyvolane on Thurs night meant Greenmount are relegated ?. We have 4 games left and even though we are third from bottom, it's been such a strange league that 4 wins (improbable) could see us promoted if results went our way !!!. Again, not very likely to happen, but it has been a hugely competitive league with all teams capable of beating each other and we have enjoyed our first season at Premier A level.Quote:

Saxone, i agree with your posts, it was a good clean game, even the sending off was for a silly act kicking the ball away. Besides that i suppose it was hard to play good football on such hard ground. I completely forgot ye had a man sent off when i wrote the post, apologies but i dont think the pitch is that short. What did you make of the handball ??
A few games left for us now, all huge. As you said yourself just becuse ye are third from bottom doesnt mean a thing in this league. 1 or 2 wins can jump a team a few places.
Truthfully , was on opposite side of a crowded penalty and couldn't see it , but the reaction of you guys as you all shouted together suggests you had a genuine call for a penalty. Don't like to knock refs as we can all make mistakes but a lot of his decisions baffled both teams. Anyway , back to the league and for us , we are happy that we will be playing premier A next year and will give the last 4 games a right lash!!!Quote:

Knockavilla 1 -0 Macroom
Leeside 2 - 0 Douglas semi final 1st leg AOH cup
Ballyvolane 3 Kanturk 1
We were shocking today,didnt deserve anyting out of the game!!
1st half we werent too bad,there keeper made 2 or 3 good saves!came out in 2nd half and it all went downhill from there!!
Finished game with 9 men,didnt make difference,the game was over at that stage,very dissapointing how the season finished!!
owl ye need 4 points from 2 games for playoff with us is it?two wins and yer promoted!!
Still a point ahead of macroom so they need two points from four games,not ruling out greenwood,but its look very tough for ye,but you never no with the way this league is goin!!!
Thats us finished now,is there diffinaly mossie this season??
Greenwood 3-1 Blackstone
We were awful - an embarassing performance - Greenwood deserved the 3 point
Ballyvolane 3 Kanturk 1
Good win for us today. Don summed it up. Felt we deserved it and wanted it more especially in the 2nd half. Still have 2 huge games to go. Just happy with today at the moment.
As far as I know - and I've been complaining about this all season. The AUL announced at the start of the season 1 up and 1 down from the three Division 2's... Terrible I think.Quote:

Glenvale with 2 games left and are 2 points behind Innishvilla now - but the other interesting one is Hibernians can also get in on the act if Innish v Glenvale game ends all square:
Top of table AUL 2
Team Played Points
Innishvilla 17 43
Glenvale 16 41
Hibernians 15 36
Thats exactly what won it for us,we were well up for it and wanted it more.We went into the game second last in the league so we knew that 3 points were vital.We also had the luxury of no midweek games while ye played Tuesday and Thursday.The ref had a great game and he talked to all players throughout.He did gift ye with that penalty though.Hopefully we can add to that win with another 3 points against Rylane Thursday nightQuote:

Is it just me or are there more leagues going to go right down to the wire than ever this season???
quick round up:
Prem:
Still one from 3 - Leeside had the games in hand - Kinsale have the points on the board, they must meet but Kinsale will need someone else to help them out, Grattan need a few favours too...
Prem A:
Macrooms title I'd guess...
Runners up from: Kanturk, Ballyvolane, Leeds, Castleview and Greenwood - unreal so many teams still in with a chance (Ballyvolane with the slight advantage)
AUL 1
Killumney favourites but Douglas Hall and Dunbar Celtic will have a say - Leeside have slipped up recently
AUL 1A
Bohemians at a canter, runners up from Donoughmore, Mayfield, Rathcoole and Dillons...
AUL 2:
Innishvilla v Glenvale will decide title if there is a winner - a draw means Hibs can force a playoff with Glenvale
AUL 2A:
Very tight between Waterloo, Milstreet and Springers... i think springers host other two in run in - those games will decide title
AUL 2B:
Knockraha won it about 2 months ago!!!
AUL 3
Brooklodge in pole position but if they drop points in either of their last tow games dunbar, Afton and Leeside will look to pounce
AUL 3A
Macroom & Banteer meet twice to decide title...
And what about the relegation battles:
PREM
Village in trouble
1 from Glenthorn, Coachford, Knockavilla and Blarney St... it will be tight
Prem A
Ballincollig & Greenmount gone
AUL 1
Ballintotis - gone
Watergrasshill in trouble need a few wins to drag UCC & Bosco's into battle
AUL 1A
Rylane in trouble
Buttevant & Passage have dropped alot of point but Park need to pick up point from games in hand - must say am shocked to see Passage down there a strong side
AUL 2
Lakewood in trouble after Ard-na-Laoi's win at weekend both with 1 game left 1 point in it
AUL 2A
Hillington - gone
AUL 2B
Between Leeview, Knocknaheeney and Cathedral - 1 point 3 games!!!
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...HQ&output=html
The full Aul tables all up to date are on this link.
An next weeks midweek fixtures are up on the fixtures thread.
inchvilla your calcalutions are out a bit in prem a.castleview and leeds cant be promoted they can only reach 30 points, macroom and kanturk have 31 and 32, kanturk are finished.ballyvolane with 2 to go can reach 34,and only greenwood with 3 to go can reach 32.macroom unless they copletely blow up and 1 of the other 3. greenwood can only at best force a playoff with kanturk.
Ballyvolane 0-1 Bohs.................Very tough game on a very tough pitch tonight t"was like playing on concrete if im being honest.
The game itself was a tight one in the first half Ballyvolane had one good chance and we wer restricted to a couple of long shots but it opened up in the 2nd half and we scored a good header from a corner,should of put the game to bed but missed a glorious chance to go 2 up and after that Ballyvolane came at us infairness in the last 20 mins but could nt break down our defence who held out strong enough
So its 3 points clear at the top and a week off till our next game............thank god!!
Another great result last night. 5 goals and 5 different scorers.
Crescent are a good side and gave us a good run (yes even though it was 5-0). We were excellent for the first 20 but it was 2-0 at half time but they had a few good chances in the first half and hit the cross bar twice.
Second half was different story we caught them on the break to go 3-0 up and after that we played some nice football and got another couple of goals to put a slant on the score line.
Crescent deserve to be where they are in the table and if they could of turned some of their draws into wins they would be up there challenging.
Its comforting to know that if they have to play the other 2 contenders they will give them a good run for their money. So its onto the weekend and hopefully we can keep going- thats 8 straight wins now I think and we know we have to keep it up if we want to win this league.
Squeaky bum time :D
Well done Scaffa- sounds like an excellent result for ye. I am sure ye are feeling pretty confident nowQuote:
