In the last few years??off the top of my head I'd say the highest they finished was 4th and a quarter final in the intermediate cup. I wouldn't class that as close!! As I say I'm only guessing there

heard a rumor that a junior player from midleton got a phone call off alan martin to play with rockmount next season!!! desperate times!!!!
I find that hard to believe unless the player is a over 6ft tall defender with silky football skills :-)..Quote:

Unless ur the manager of avondale and know more than me. but as far as im concerned long will have to work hard to get into that starting 11 ahead of them guysQuote:

Great player in his day.reeks of desperation to be kept on to be honest.surely a big club like rockmount has a half decent young player to step up to the mark?Quote:

With Rockmount rebuilding will it be the Hall's year? They were known as doing a 'Rory McIlroy' last year by bottling when so far ahead BUT he went on to win a title! :-) Anyone want to take a stab of top 3 and bottom two to go down for next year? I will start off with 1. Dale 2. Rockmount 3. Blarney and two to go down I will go with Leeds and Midleton.
1.Avondale..2.blarney..3.marys..4.hall..5.rockmoun t..6.Corinthians..7.everton..8.mayfield..9.midleto n..10.leedsQuote:

have castleview signed a few new players? don't think myself they have the quality they once had to push for promotion, think myself it is between UCC, Ringmahon and Carrigaline for promotion. Think Tramore are in serious trouble again next year if they don't sort out whatever problems they had in premier last year! As for Premier division, my predicition of 1-2-3 is Avondale, Rockmount and Douglas Hall, with leeds and midleton going down!Quote:

Maybe you can check with your source again Villaman regarding the "unrest" down in midleton with a fair few supposedly wanting out? Plus is it Paul Deasy (ex city) youths Ye are on about going from midleton to Rockmount??
Whats with all the Dave Ahern bashing??? He is one of the best players who ever played for us and if Rockmount dont want him well take him back no problem, where were Rockmount when he signed?? Great player and a great guy, 5 league winner medals along the way!! Less of the player bashing fine having a top 3 but why bother with the over rated crap??
answered you on the other thread boo!!Quote:

It is a very competetive and demanding league and it demands serious dedication so every player that plays regularly deserves some credit. Also, Dave Ahern is a quiet, unasuming sort so if he decides he wants to play on fair play to him. This season is going to be 'juicy' with the extra bit of edge on the forum of late.Quote:

You are making him out to be a pity case which he is not.we will leave it at that now because there is no doubt Dave was a very good player.end ofQuote:

Think that call may have been about a game of golf rather than signing.Quote:

Pick a player, pick a club.
I think we'll have to have a new thread for rumours.
Brilliant?...as a neutral and as a member of the forum I'm entitled to my opinion and this is one is based totally on football played by each team of what I saw last year..can't wait to see your league.and you can't have ten rockmounts!!!Quote:
