Thomastown is only around 25 minutes down the road from me. It was badly hit during the flooding there last week, where Joan Burton quite hilariously fell out of the boat that was travelling on a foot of water.
theres nothing like playing a new team! wonder who will win that Drumcondra Thomastown game?
Delighted to see my local club (They are the nearest football club to where Im from)Thomastown United get this far. Cant seem the beating Drums but would love to see them against Longford. Seem a well run club.
Who's organising all these friendlies for Athlone. Has Alan Matthews been confirmed as back in charge yet.Quote:

May I be the first to say I reckon Thomastown are living beyond their means and will probably go bust before the end of the season. How they got through licensing is a mystery to me.
Tis a pity you feel the need to be so condescending in making your pointQuote:

Can't get my head around two PD teams playing each other in pre season. Obviously just a handy option for the cousins.Quote:

Hang on there. Go back and look at the year.
Bloody hell I'm a dope :)
Could have sworn I saw a game announced between two other PD clubs and had it in my head Sligo were one so went looking at their fixtures. Didn't spot the result either!
Daunting as that sounds the Freebooters sound even scarier.Quote:

I know it's a handy enough journey, but can't remember the last time we played a team in the same division in a pre-season friendly.Quote:

Some Derry friendlies announced, including that Sligo one. All matches are away.
Ballymena - Friday 5th February
Glentoran - Saturday 13th February
Sligo - Saturday 20th February
With Derry, Sligo, Harps, Galway and Longford all in the top division in 2016 Athlone are the closest away trip for a friendly for the North West 3. It's not surprising they'd be tempted to play friendlies among themselves. Irish League opposition can be hard to line up when they're coming to the end of their season (though I see Derry have Ballymena and Glentoran lined up)
Suppose. The weekend of 5-7th February is the Irish Cup sixth round. Ballinamallard and Warrenpoint would be free, maybe to play Sligo and Dundalk respectively.Quote:
