As regards us being poor? Well that was the first game that group have played and to hold a settled team like Shels to a scoreless draw was a great achievement.

We may struggle this season, but at least I can see us competing well against the bottom teams IE. Bray, Galway, possibly Sligo

And i never said you were poor last night. I said you would struggle this season, which I still believe. The performance your team put in was no more than what could be expected for a team that had been together less then a week.

Harps beat Cockhill (yes Cockhill) 1-0. Oisin McMenimen with the goal.

The Bovril was a tad too hot and burned the tongue off some OAP, nothing too serious though thank God.

Athlone Town 0 Bohemian 1
Goal scored by Jason Byrne. Athlone coped well with Bohs in the first half and could have scored 3 while Bohs missed 2 sitters from Crowe. In the second period Athlone didn't play half as well but I put this down to all the subs Athlone introduced and Bohs deserved their goal. The pitch was very soft so I think some players held back a bit.

Athlone having a good Pre-Season, well for yas..

**Scrufil** · 21/02/2009, 6:07 PM

It is hard to read too much into a friendly, but it does build confidence if the team runs a top side close.

**Black and White** · 21/02/2009, 7:52 PM

Anyone got updates from Sligo tonight??

**passinginterest** · 21/02/2009, 7:56 PM

Wexford Youths 1 - 1 Shamrock Rovers, another good result for the Youths, looking promising for the season ahead.

No they werent - a few of the kids had to sort out their flags,etc - as i said handbags, not worth a mention - infact our kids actually went back into the ground the first sight of the handbags flying!!

**sligoman** · 21/02/2009, 9:07 PM

Turner scored for Dundalk, not Daly, finished 1-0. Michael Collins is a nut job. He's going to be entertaining for opposition fans this season. Apart from that, nothing happened.
