Cork AUL 2009/10

New to this guys but have been in AUL football for over 30yrs and have been reading the posts all season. From my view the league tables do not lie at the end of the season. Dont go blaming bad luck or referees in the last game or two for being relegated or not going up. Game 1 or game 5 or game 10 are all just as important. To those who won leagues and gained promotion - congratulations you would all have worked damn hard. To those who are going down - refocus, keep the players that will give it a lash again, get rid of the moaners, the fancy dans, and those who go missing when the hard graft is required. Silly season now starts on the transfer front- roll on August and we get going again!

Well done Killumney on their impressive win - Hard luck to the two Park sides todaym but I'm glad Leeside didn't end season empty handed...

Ya, happy that Leeside won also although tough for Park on both counts.

Anyone know if they had their full team out for it? ANyone at it?

leeside had very few regulars from what i could see. they had three of their C squad playing including a 16 year old goalkeeper, who plays on the wing on the forementioned team. he's a class keeper to be fair though. Ian Barrett started on the bench, while Colman Coady didnt even tog out. It was a mixture of squads. The second goal was a brilliant finish, thought Park could've done better for the first goal but I guess the greasy ball and surface made it hard for the keeper to get a solid hand to the ball.

Cheers Padjoe, thats good going so in fairness.

Ya Innish,
Leeside deserved something out of the season but must still be gutted to lose the league and AOH. Saw Kilumney demolish Park last evening. Kilumney were very strong this season having picked up some good players from the fallout at Ballincollig, couple of ex senior league guys incl. Park did well to reach the final but Kilumney looked like a premier A side as they will be next yr. They will surprise a few up there too. Congratulations to them!

Congratulations Leeside and unlucky Park
To go all season in local competitions and lose only 1 game over 90 mins is some achievement for Leeside.
We look forward to doing battle again next season :ball:

Not a lot new from the AUL AGM last night. Former ref Denis Crowley has joined the commitee. Nobody wants to be fixtures secretary so could be fun next yr again. Tony Fitz nominated for vice-pres of the F.A.I so congratulations to him. Proposal from Premier teams to start the season with Mossy Linnane Cup and well deserved praise for Barry Peelo for his coverage.

Disappointing turn out again at the AUL AGM last night - had to attend as our secretary was unable to! Why dont clubs attend the delegate meetings?? I never understand that!

i suppose for some clubs its a long way to cork at 8 o clock on a winters night( still should be a good turn out for AGM) they trialed an idea a few years back of having separte ones away from the city i taught it worked well. i know alot of the clubs are from the city but they should look at having around 25% of them outside the city i think it would work well

Fruice, I believe one club who were actually hosting one of the regional meetings didnt show for it!!

Joke alright Horse. Maybe the AUL should fine clubs that miss 2 or more meetings.

you know i cant remember its going back probaly 5 years i just assumed they were there. but i suppose that says it all it would only cause to much hassle if you had to attend a certin percentage of meetings. i know a couple of years back the aul had ashot of match balls at the meeting and were going to do a draw for them there was so little clubs there that most of them ended up geting one

Why have delegate meetings at all? Do they serve a purpose? The Tipperary Southern League, which is ran very efficiently, never has a delegate meeting. Who wants to travel to a meeting in the depths of winter and listen to everybodys problems?

Nononsense while i can see your point i feel delegate meetings give clubs a chance to air their views! And its not always problems people are talking about ;-)

Using that logic.............why have a parliament at all in any country?
Who wants to listen to everyones problems - why are you reading other peoples issues on the site then?

Eh, maybe to try and offer help with other peoples problems!!!

Nononsense may not be an appropriate name!

Oli came up with an idea - lets say 8 delegate meetings in a season. City teams must make six, county teams must make 4. Any less and fines.

Another idea is restrict the Team of the Month to teams who show up. Its an hour a month lads.

I missed the AGM due to work in Dublin, but, over the years many good things have come up in the meetings and many questions have been answered. We had a delegate there though.

Fair enough. Good talk shop. Keep them going.

Hey nononsense.

Felt I was a bit harsh on ya, on reflection.

Well taken - well responded

its really depressing without a game or training will the start of july every come fast so we can all get back into it again....site is fairly depressing now...

any potential transfer news doing the rounds.heard two interesting ones over the weekend,alberto pulmanero going to blarney seniors and shane o neill to avondale senors. huge losses to wilton if its true.

big blow for wilton if it is true...

i could see the wilton keeper going to Blarney as they struggled with keepers in the last year or two and he aint bad to be fair to him but i dunno whould o Neill be up to senior league never mind a top team like Avondale!!

As you talk about keepers - its been some horrible World Cup for keepers. Seems like a goal causing error in every game.

Littleman, 2010/2011 thread starts end of June............call it Littlemans thread like the Leeside lads suggested!!!

Ballincollig to put a team in AUL first division having pulled out early from Prem A last year - good to see.

Grattan not to start a Youths team?

Rumours of 2 of next years Prem A and one of last years folding unfounded!

Any advice on non ODON insurance?

talking about keepers we have a new one coming in this year very good and tall bout 6ft3/4 played with him before so a good boost.and another striker..hopefully add another one or two and we be flying it...

holden id say it would be wise to keep the head down and dont be alerting teams on yer squad news!! schoolboy error boy!!!

Would have to disagree with you there - its not as if he named them! Or even if he did its unlikely most of us on here would know a lot of people from Macroom or people that played in the West Cork League either if thats where you played with the keeper before Holden

any new signings down there bluey?or yereselves littleman.

wouldnt bother me one bit ghost its not like if any team is gonna take them,spot on olachico he moved to senior league after that so he would be a great signing...what about yourselves how ye looking this year.prem a will be tougher this year id say...

well lads its been too long!!! i see there is a lot of new members which is great to see, the more the merrier and plenty from other clubs. season is finished but i believe its only starting! any rumours doin the rounds? players managers?

heard in carrigtohill that the ballyvolane manager is coming down to take over, i cant believe it would be mellerik as he is Ballyvolane through. so is it the b team guy whos side was relegated last year? anyone hear?

litteman pass your pitch every couple of days and them bloody horses are destroying the ground i helped 2 of yer guys a few weeks ago to put the bar up to stop the horses gettin in and 2 days later horses back on the field shame really cant ye do anything about it ??

Ya balls of steel there but I suppose they are trying to target players from the AUL who might like to jump to MSL. Crosshaven have a decent set up and had a good team last year. I know a few lads from Douglas who played there last year and enjoyed it. Good website too.

macroom afc return to pre season training july 8th 7:30 in the town park new players more than welcome...

Who is going to do the honours and set up a new thread for 2010/2011??
