Three of the games in this are being played next week, anything competitive is better than friendlies this time of year I suppose.
1. Waterford United FC v Castleview (10/2/2012)
2. Blarney Utd v Limerick (8/2/2012)
3. Rockmount v Cork City (7/2/2012)
Edit: Fermoy already through
Semi-Final Draw:
Rockmount/Cork City v Waterford United/Castleview
Fermoy v Blarney/Limerick
Fermoy beat Leeds on penalties
The Fermoy team includes former Cork City players Mick Devine, Timmy Kiely and David Clancy
And to think, Timmy Kiely was due to be 'the next big thing' after scoring the winner in the Setanta Cup Semi away to Derry a few seasons back....!
Hi lads.
I was just wondering does anyone have any background information on Castleview A.F.C.
They are useless, yee should field a youth team and rest your first team ;-) give city only one pre season trip to Waterford.
Blarney 1 - Limerick 4
Just to note, the Rockmount V Cork City game was postponed this week due to an unplayable pitch. Not sure if there is another date set.
Appearently since the game was called off City now are deemed the home team and so game will probably go ahead inQuote:

Game scheduled for the 3rd of March (day after the UCD league game). So the strongest possible team would be fringe players mixed with u19's but possible just the u19's.
I would rather have it as a pre-season game than a hinderence at the start of the season. Dont know why it cant be played either the 25th or 26th of Febuary as city have no game that weekend. or even if the pushed the game till the Sunday the 4th and have a extra days rest.
Waterford United 5 Castleview 1
I'm guessing because we'll be fielding the u19 side and could well have another senior friendly pencilled in for that weekend.Quote:

Danny Morrissey Jamie Murphy
I don't know the first names of Murphy the defender or Kavanagh the midfielder, I think it might be Stephen Murphy but not sure
City vs Waterfrod and Femoy vs Limerick in the Semi's

Fermoy 0-1 Limerick
Purcell scored the goal - Mostly U19s I believe though Gamble, Gaffney and Foley were brought on. Crazy to believe there were 2 ex Ireland internationals on the pitch I grew up playing my football on! (well the senior pitch, we werent allowed there until we got to the Senior/Junior level but still)
In total I believe there were 5 ex Cork City players involved
Cork City vs Waterford United Tonight in Turners cross. Wont be a big crowd but its a trophy we can win. Although i expect a weak City team with fringe players and u19's
I'd guess a team that looks a bit like this
Kevin Burns
U19 U19 Kalen Spillane Jason Forde
U19 U19 Cathal Lordan U19
Jamie Murphy Tadgh Purcell or Danny Morrissey
No its was mostly senior squad. U19s captain James McGrath played, Garbhan Coughlan and Steven McGann are also U19s but would be considered senior players.Quote:

They needed to bring on Gamble and Foley to see us off in the end!! ha ha. Seriously we gave a great account of ourselves and if we'd managed to score with the one or two half chances we created then it would have been interesting for sure. The lad Gaffney turned the game with his long throw caught us twice with it, one leading to the goal.
Great day for the club, pitch was in immaculate condition as usual.
Do you get up to see us at all these days?
unfortunately not, living in the City and I work Sundays, don't go home all too often anymore. Must make more of an effort to get to the odd game, think I made it to one game last season i.e. 2010/11Quote:

He's injured at the moment, got a knock before scoring the winner the week before vs Castleview in a vital match. We missed him Sunday for a bit of extra quality. Really nice lad and is settling well in town.Quote:

will try and get down alright or maybe to a game in the city sometime.
Cork City won 1-0 against Waterford United in Turners Cross last night. The goal was scored by Jamie Murphy and the City side lined out as follows
Kevin Burns
John Kavanagh Stephen Carroll Kalen Spillane Jason Forde
Shane Duggan Colin Healy Cathal Lordan
Jamie Murphy Tadgh Purcell Danny Morrissey
Waterfords team:
Hughes, Carey, Frost, Long, Burns, Dempsey, Ryan, Dunphy,
Kiely, Keegan, Phelan.
Seamus Long was sent off for Waterford in the second half
Who was wearing 20 for Cork?
thats Jamie Murphy, he played well in fairness. Showing a lot of improvement this year - Danny did well up front too as did young Kavanagh at right full.
I was impressed with Murphy's general play. Did he play with Craig Burns at underage level?Quote:

Yeah that sounds right - NY I thinkQuote:

Munster Senior Cup Final:
Limerick 1-0 Cork
Strong limerick team but a vast majority of under 19's for cork. Cork have some very good under age players coming through.
congratulations to Limerick. Wish I could have made it for todays game, disappointed we didn't bring the trophy home but delighted that such a young side performed so well (according to texts I received)

Downtown Limerick.
Incredible scenes.
For a split second, I was like "What the ****...."
I counted about 180 at kick off, but a few came in late so about 200, 50-75 City fans. Yes the Cork City u19 side + a few fringe senior players did very well against a very strong Limerick side. The pitch was in good nick alright, i was impressed with that alright. I think if the game was held in the cross there would have been a bigger crowd but i guess it is unfair for Limerick to mostly play the Final's in Cork (if/when they get to a final)
Always next year.
