Mervue 2 Kildare 0
Ollie Keogh and Dave Goldbey
Game delayed due to floodlight failure. I see they are becoming accustomed LOI standards already!
It's back on. Mon mervue.
Whats the story? any final score? Two former United players on the scoresheet.
Kildare have pulled it back to 2-2.
2-2 Full time
match report

Was the strangest game I have ever been to, match was delayed in the first half for a half an hour by floodlight failure and the second half was delayed for about 5 minutes as a dog was chased around the pitch and Kildare were also wearing Mervue's away kit.
Two absolutely savage goals by Hughes though
Is that the same Ollie Keogh who socred the best ever LOI goal?Quote:

Not that bad a game. Name a better footballing side in the Galway League? With a bit of evidence.
Jerseys: Kildare said they were going to wear white, turned up with red kit.
Floodlights: 6 Berkos(big kettles) that consume serious power overloaded the system. Situation not helped though by fact the astro turf facilities were also in use at the same time. Surely could have cancelled that for one night.
I'd cancel the burco before the astro, to be honest! I know which would be bringing in more money.
No that was Dave Goldbey who scored in the Showgrounds to relegate you! :DQuote:

Many at this game?
an estimated 5-600
Do Galway fans want to see Mervue win the playoff?
In general, no. but there are some from Mervue that obviously do
How do you know, Mr. Maroon ? Have you asked them all ? ;)
Most United fans I know wouldn't loose any sleep over it.
here are the highlights from the match
Mervue 1 up after 15mins v Kildare County
Dave O'Brien scored
Is there any point in this game??are mervue either gonna accept their place or even be allowed in the league..ie have they a fan base, pitch criteria etc etc??finances??
I assume they wouldn't bother engaging in the playoff if they didn't intend to step up?Quote:

3 nil now, Goldbey again on 81 mins.
Fair play to Mervue.
I was surprised when they and Salthill joined the A-League but well done on them achieving promotion.
With an eircom League game every weekend in Galway next season it could be a boost for football in the city.
What are Mervue doing for a ground next season? Is their own place up to standard for first division?
Groundshare at Terryland?
And congrats to Mervue by the way. Who knows there might be a Galway city derby in a few years.
Where will Mervue play their home games?Can the over used Terryland pitch take their games too or will they try upgrade Fahy's field??If we had benn relagated last week their would have been a massive local derby next season.Maybe we might get them in the cup.Fair play to them.
should be terryland, they have as much right to play there as galway utdQuote:

Bloody hell. I didn't really think they'd a hope after seeing Tuesday's game. Fair play Mervue.
Will mervue want to make the step up this soon?
anyone get the feeling Kildare will still be in the first division next year if you know what i mean?? ;)
That would just make a farce of the whole thingQuote:

Their biggest rival will be from within their own committees who fear LOI may ruin their whole ethos of providing a football outlet for youngsters. Loi usually means huge expense with little return over awful long periods. These guys though could probably run longer than most of our established LOI clubs.
Mervue will be making a go of it alright next season in the first division, so, bye bye cousins !!!!!! hahahahahaha
Apparently Mervue have been given a grant of something like €300,000 to get there own grounds up to first division standards but if it doesnt work out they will have terryland to play in. There home games will be on saturdays with the hope that the FAI will sort out the fixtures so that they dont play at home the same weekend as GUFC so the pitch in terryland doesnt get destroyed by its over use.
A faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrce?? Never! :pQuote:
