Check out Blarneys pitch. Perfect condition probably the reason Ireland U-16s played there last week and the 1st division playoff is on there friday week.Quote:

I have not seen much of the avondale, but going by the condition of there pitch they cant be much better. its been a very entertaining season for the neutral its a pity its coming to an end.
I totally agree. Smashing surface but only one team play on it and if there is a drop of rain due for the Lee Valley area Blarney call the game off. The record shows.Quote:

Blarneys and corinthians 1st pitch are by far the best in the league
credit where credits due to there groundsman
they still have the same games played on them every year as everyone else
they both look a joy to play on even at this late stage of the season
ya blarney pitch is a top class pitch,there floodlights help them out for the pitch,they can call off as many games as they like and never have a back log of games come the end of the season,cos with the floodlights lights they can play as many midweek games as they want in the winter,not many teams can do that,hopefully rockmount and midleton pitches can benefit from the floodlights as well
hi lads. new to the forums so looking forward to getting stuck in even if it is the end of the season at this stage.
Everton 0 Rockmount 1. Monty. Penalty. Hard fought game. Ref had 2 major decisions to make and got both of them right. Definite penalty and definite sending off. What was Chris Byrne thinking going over the ball in the corner with 25 to go and Everton still in game. Game on now lads.
Biggest fixture of the season so far set for next Sunday ----Douglas Hall vs Rockmount
Outstanding!!!! Every game is a cup final now.Quote:

Doesn't say much for the current MSL panel or the MSLs faith in them.
By the way Razor UCC beat Tramore 2 nil (predictions).Quote:

Looking forward to Friday now, should be a great game and shur we'll give it an ould lash anyhow and see if we can keep up with the Leeds lads.
Either way we've enjoyed the season and will be back for more next year whatever happens.
Beamish cup
Rockmount 2 St marys 1
Senior league
Everton 0 mayfield 1
UCC relegated after Mayfield's win tonight, disappointing end to their season after winning the Collingwood.
Heard today that he has not reffed in MSL in at least 9 years. Infamous game involving Leeds and Rockmount.Quote:

That John Paul is a scream. Why he just dont get on with his game without getting involved with opposition lines I dont know. Gene Stephens handled it well.
He reffed castleview and fermoy earlier in the seasonQuote:

I think Caulfield will stay with them no matter what rumours are circulating the league. Hall for league, Mount for Beamish Cup and Dale for Intermediate?
Heard that the appeal has been rejected
haha.. only one game left before douglas surrender their spot at the summit... third place awaits

My bad. Might have been castleview and leeds so. He was definately reffing some game up in castleview during the seasonQuote:

Great time for Alan. Nice guy. Hope all goes well for him. Oh yeah in case I forget....... Cmon the Mount.Quote:

As an AUL guy watching in, I found this season the most inetresting for years, with good promotion and relegation battles across the divisions. I had a personal interest in all 3 league/promotion fights..........one up, one didnt and one dropped away! Any clues there?
From within, what is yer opinion on this year, even before Sunday?
best of luck to leeds tonight!
Best of Luck to Fermoy tonight!!!!!!
Leeds won 3 nil.Leeds started brighter and got a superb goal after 10 mins. Fermoy had a good spell for 10 minutes then and could have equalised but after Leeds chased down a lost cause and put presssure on, the fermoy keeper and defender messed up a back Pass and Leeds forced the ball Over the line. The mistake buried fermoy and they never recovered. Leeds got another to finish it. Hard llines to fermoy. Leeds have some nice plAyers but will inevitably struggle big time to stay up.
Midleton should get a pat on the back. The ground and facilities were second to none and thank god for the stand out ofthe rain for the big crowd.
Blarney 5-3 Midleton
