Tramore v Carrick to open the league.
will tramore be top dogs down there again this year?
Sad to hear waterford bohs have pulled out of waterford premier league. Big club who have had some great underage sides. so many clubs around the country on the brink of folding its scary.
Yes but will be challenged strongly by Carrick and SaviorsQuote:

That was a big shock at Saviours - Johnville must have strengthened in the summer. Was at the Hibs/Tramore game - Hibs decent side. Tramore just about deserved the win although Hibs bitchin about handball(s) before the winner. Adam was reffin - his technique doesn't help him but really the abuse he gets is wrong - don't know how / why he puts up with it.
Premier Round 2 Results

Already looking like two horse race.
Only 2 premier fixtures this weekend
Johnville v Villa Sunday 11am
W'ford Crystal v Carrick Sunday 11am
First real test of the season for Carrick although the Glass have being depleted over the years, should stand them in good stead before the Tramore game Sunday week
Wasn't really much of a test - Crystal are down to the bare bones by the looks of it. Handy game for young Burke at centre half. A good player but wouldn't see him comfortable against stronger opposition - temporary measure / Daffy to come back?Quote:

Crystal are down to the bare bones, its sad to see for such a good club. Their 1st Div where in Carrick at the same time as the Premier game and they only had 11. Lee is going to be a top player, he is just out of youths yet in his 3rd season as a Junior player. He is getting fitter and stronger every year.
The clash with Tramore could be a title decider, it will be a great game with both teams going at each other hammer and tongs. I expect a score draw myself.
Hey guys can you post a list of teams in the league, by full names please. I'm just looking for the proper names of the clubs cheers

A share of the spoils yesterday (1-1). A good game despite the conditions in the 2nd half. Carrick will be the happier of the 2 - Tramore had the best of the chances but poor finishing and a typical Adrian Walsh display had them relying on a deflected shot for their equaliser. Tramore played some nice football but missed Paul Quilty (injured?). Can't see anyone else troubling these two so will probably be winner takes all when the return game in Carrick takes place
Fair comment - Carrick waiting on a few to come back also.Quote:

the funeral of Jimmy o`Neill of Waterford Junior League took place today. A true football legend as a player, top class ref , great administrator and most of all a gentleman . He will be missed by all in junior football , may he rest in peace . . .
