i dont play 1B lads but follow all soccer, holycross big improvement this year, just about stayed up last year didnt ye holycrossjock. from what i hear around the city, fairview B gave walkover last weekend and are struggling big time, lost a lot of players this year cos of management there and way club treated them, so 3 points there shouldnt be a problem if ye have improved.
Played Fairview early in the season and they only had eleven and I see they've lost more since then. Its a pity. They always tried to play football which is unusual in the division.
What did ye make of Dromore jock? Saw they beat ye but heard ye were unlucky.
A lot of teams will be strong for the winter when they have their full complement of GAA players back.
thanks Kalyani
we have improved,
its been great feeling in the club from trying to stay up last year to actually think about winning the league. We have brought in couple of good players but best signing was our keeper he makes a great difference to our defence and you can tell by the stats so far 6 games 2 goals conceded our defence is solid. one of the goals was a first class free kick from a guy called NINETY from knockainey best free kick taker i've seen.
tip for teams if you play knockainey do not give away free kick outside the box on the left hand side your just asking for trouble..... :) :) :ball:
Dromore are very solid at the back, we gave them to much room in the midfield but they never done much up front. they had couple of half chances but they scored from very bad mistake from my fellow centre half got caught with ball in penalty box last man...should have kick it to touch but we will learn and improve... there keeper made couple of great saves he looks solid adn hit the bar twice...Quote:

from what i heard dromore arent great at all but there never say die attitude gets them the points, 2 down at half time to prospect last week but came back and drew 2 all, still dont have the quality to go up i think though. yes awful pity about fairview, had 3 very good juniors teams up till 2 years ago, now they cant get 1 good junior team to take the field.
and i agree they were always a team to try and play football
Dont rule St pat's out we are not here to make up the numbers and we do like to play football too.
St Pats good side but didn't seem to have a presence up front when we played them, need strong lad up front to hold the ball. would have been tense finish but lucky for us St Pats didn't convert penalty in second half.Quote:

Well funny enough they are hot and cold from the start. There are only 2 or 3 GAA lads and the squad is not built around them so I think it is a matter of just clicking really. There is a very large pool of players in the club at the moment with A B and C teams so the GAA influence is slowly but surely dwindling away.Quote:

Now season is well under way, what would your predictions for the rest season be??? who you think is going up? and who's fighting for regulation?
who's the best attackers, midfielders and defence in the very competitive 1B league???
Just getting this thread back into the first page by writing this post
since we have had cup games and a couple of games off in the last few weeks there has been no news to bring to this thread
looking forward to this weeks game against in form Shels been told have to get fit to keep up with there young guns
Disappointing result for ye at the weekend Jock. Heard ye were missing a few players with the GAA? That right?
Were Shels good? Heard they're after signing a few from Lisnagry aswell, but haven't seen them so don't know. Going to be a very interesting league yet. No pushovers in it.
we were missing about five to six first team players had to bring in players from B team... but Shels are the best team we have played in the league we were crap, myself shouldn't have played i was injured but cause of lack of players i played... Shels i see favourites to win league they play great football passing the ball and got good quick players up front.Quote:

We had a great chance after that but our right full got greedy. After that we hung on a bit to be honest, they could have equalised.
that sounded fimilar oh yeah thats what happened to us against you :) but decided to gift you a goal instead :) not sour though....Quote:

so your saying you's will gift us a goal in the return leg thats a nice jesture from yourself edgey;) ... are you playing cup this weekend or league game???
Boro away in the FAI...enough said!
best of luck:)Quote:
