Tipp South & District League 2008/09

just on the youths players you mentioned, the majority to my knowledge were not from thurles and have all gone or stopped playing.

**bishbash** · 19/12/2008, 11:40 AM

players like david horan, donal duggan, ted o connor, padraig fogarty were from thurles added to that ken ryan, martin darmody and james scott who are from two mile borris. I have to agree that if that team had stayed together they would have challenged for an awful lot. but unfortunately you can say that about most clubs. clonmel celtic have had youth players such as ian barnes, adam mcsherry, wack o donnell. Add those players to what is at the club now and that would be a very decent team but the bigger clubs have and always will take players. Even dwayne burns was with the clonmel celtic youth team that won the munster youths cup!

St. Michael's 1 -0 Clonmel Town

Paul Breen with the goal. League is still CTFC's to lose but this is a good win for Saints and they could challenge in the MJC if they get a few home ties.

Wasn't there but whilst its always hard to take a defeat to Michaels I suppose this was the one to lose. Town still well in control in the league.
I presume you mean the FAI as Town have knocked Michaels out of the MJC

im pretty sure he meant fai and were in last 32 and nobody will want to play us,im not saying were all of a sudden a brilliant side all of a sudden but sunday was hugely impressive and if the truth be told 3-0 would have been a much fairer reflection of saints dominance,town still in the driving seat in the league but a draw or two along the way would blow it wide open

Hold on 3-0!!!, thats not correct. Michael's weren't that much on top. I don't remember Richie Ryan having to make a save. What about Derek Breen's save from David McGrath.
A draw would have been a fair result. In saying that Saints were much better than they were in Clonmel 2 weeks ago. Great goal from Paul Breen. Well done saints but don't talk ****e and say they were three goals better when they weren't

**hooper74** · 22/12/2008, 10:27 PM

please tell me you werent at the game?? chester missed an open goal and we failed to hit the target in and around the box several times??? i openly criticised our performance right here on foot 2 weeks ago and said town were far superior,you need to be objective and not a single person could call a draw sunday a fair outcome,no chance,would be very interested to hear any other opinions from anyone else who was at the game???

Dony know where your getting the idea that a draw would have been a fair result if anything it should have been a bigger wining margin for Saints. Town didnt get a sniff for the first 30 mins and had to go man for man. Saints performance was about 10 times better than it was 2 weeks ago(WOULDNT BE HARD) they changed their system to and worked on their strengths and had Baggsy and Shane Mc back. Davy Ryan had a outstanding game in the middle of the park he was majestic.
You need to call he game as you see it not with TUNNEL VISION! Saints Christmas party was on Sunday night so that result got the party off to a tremendous start. Hopefully Saints can kick on from this and get a decent run in the FAI.
Happy Christmas to all HO HA HO!

**tipp man** · 24/12/2008, 7:43 AM

Apologies. Yes I did mean the FAIJC and not the MJC.

3-0 would have flattered Saints IMO but they did deserve all 3 points. 1-nill about right. CTFC failed to mount any credibile response after going one down which was dissapointing considering they have hit some good form of late.

Happy Christmas all!!!

**ronburgundy** · 25/12/2008, 11:33 AM

merry christmas to everyone and may santa bring a striker to either town or saints so the league will have a munster or national champion

**hooper74** · 25/12/2008, 1:26 PM

with saints defence being so strong if only they could get hold of a goalscorer i think they would have a serious crack at this years fai,im not saying their the best team in it but its cup football anything can happen

They should have held onto Paul Kennedy. 80 goals in 2 years with celtic and michaels.

**hooper74** · 25/12/2008, 6:02 PM

would agree with that 100%,alan barry would not be in my top 5 strikers in tipp

What i cant understand is how paul kennedy has not been given a junior cap especially with alan barry in the squad. as i said previously 80 goals in 2 seasons.

League is wide open again after Rock Rovers defeated Clonmel Town. Town must be rattled a bit now 2 league defeats on the trot. Anyone at it what way did the scoring go??

**daz22** · 05/01/2009, 11:49 AM

I see clonmel town bounced back with a huge victory!! was anyone at one, was clonmel brilliant or ballicollig very poor??who scored?

**useless** · 05/01/2009, 12:00 PM

Rock went 2-0 up after 20 mins.Town pulled 2 goals back within five minutes of the start of the second half.Both goals had more than there share of luck to say the least.Town pilled on the pressure but the rock hit them on the break with 20 mins to go to win 3-2.Rock played very well and deserved what they got.Town were very ordinary going forward.
