I agree ali every game Ive seen has been very poor!
i think it should be run earlier in the season and wrapped up by xmas,its dragging on again,maybe playing it on a saturday night might stoke a bit of interest,in saying that alot of players from a few clubs that i've spoke to don't give a fcuk about it
Regional were on the **** for a couple of days last year,and we will be going all out to win,iv never seen a game in jackman where there was football played,could ashling have won,who was the better side.
do teams genuinely set ut to win this trophy at the start of the season, or is it mainly about mjc, fai, and league....
never heard a team in my 17 yrs of junior football planning on winning the touhy (or equivilant).....
who won the touhy the last few years....i can't remeber
If you are saying it does not rank high in the list of trophies I am sure you are right but what local cups do compared to the Leage, FAI or MJC. Do you scrap them altogether? I think the lawson is a great cup and with the touhy being played under lights this season it added something extra to the competition.
I would always want to win a cup whats the point playing if you dont want to win:rolleyes:

agree with white stripe.pitch was solid but unreal bumpy.very hard for any of the players from both teams to dribble with the ball hence why it was prob not the most entertaining game in the world.its the worst ive ever seen the surface in jackman anyway.
overall i felt it was a very even game which either side could have won
although there werent many clearcut chances.AA will be disapointed to have conceded so late in the game though as we defended well up until then.in fairness to pike though they took there goal well.great cross from the free from hanrahan which was met by enright in the air to score.
the last 2 subs for pike came on at the same time as far as i know and to the best of my knowledge it was wayne and dave o grady who came off not bobby.. could be wrong.
i just dont like correcting people when i am not sure myself. am i wrong about the subs.
for the bigger clubs the touhy only takes on importance if they are out of fai and mjc.
Tue 31st March
Janesboro V Fairview 7.30
Best of luck to Daithi and the boys tonite I won't make it due to work but I will be kept abreast of the proceedings
boro shud win the view are resting players not really interested in this comp, final set for next thursday
We will be putting out our best side to win.
ye have won nothing at all o im wrong ye won the touhy.
your prob right but lets be honest here apart from fairview and pike who were the last limerick team to win either the fai or mjc so with the touhy being a premier trophy im sure most teams would like it on the sideboard come the seasons end,and with most TOP teams supposedly not taking it serious the 3 teams left are hardly struggling so serious or not they will want to win it
the trible is still on after tonights game
View won on penalties,Boro scored after 2 mins,View scored in injury time in the second half,View keeper saved 2 peno's
Tom Clarke and Dom Fitz best for Boro
