O'Donovan looked very sharp in training last night, always first to turn up at training to do a 15-20mins workout on his own before the rest of the squad arrive...

We owe Pike nothing, we done it for the above mentioned reason ONLY.

The least Pike can do is not play better then star and star will be in the next round. Which is what i think

Clonmel are favourites in the bookies at 7/5 , and from looking at the players they have on paper ,they wont be beaten to easily all the big names that played last yr are still der, plus they beat ballymun , which must have given the players the confidence and believe that this is der yr , Willow havent lost a game since they were beaten by ballymun in dublin 1 0 in the leinster junior last yr and they where robbed by all accounts not to come away wiv the win that day, for me this game is the pick of the ties in the last 8, there r plenty of ex leauge of ireland players on both sides , the two sides met two yrs ago in the leinster cup wiv clonmel winning 3 2 , will clonmel drive down on sunday or stay sat night tipp top ?

Clonmel Town would have to be favourites??
Irish Junior Players Scully & Moroney in their Squad.
Willow Park Athlone are unknowns here... Good Footballing Side though!!
I seem to remember 2 years ago in the FAI Junior last 32 or 16... Willow 2 Clonmel 3 aet.
Should be a good contest!!

willow are complete unknowns to most of us but very well regarded and most people seem to think they will win this one....6/4 could be a great price

ya clonmel will be favourites though. should have been in the final last year and we have been there or thereabouts for years, not to mention we have knocked out the holders this year. i can see big celebrations in clonmel on sunday night. we will have too much for that willow side, they are not at the same level

**neverseenit** · 10/03/2010, 8:57 PM

Carew got permission to play denis whelan off the fai...denis cruz was the fai man that gave them permission but he never gave them it in writhing...fai junior council awarded the match to carew only for fai senior to overrule them..top man in senior was from westport at the time so thats what happened...it then went to abratration which decided a replay would be fair and first match would be void..but westport had a player sent off in the first match and the madness kicked in from there..he was told he couldnt play in the replay or denis whelan couldnt play even though first match was void...carew did nothing wrong but got punished for fai junior council mistake....westport got a phonecall from a pike man that evening after the first match...they also left them use their field to train morning of the match and informed them all about carew players at the time.westport went on to win the final..pike had played two players who were sent off in a previous game the same year play in the next round but were beaten so no objection was needed..and thats how they found out about the rule..they were told they would have been an objection if they had won

I dont think too many in the clonmel camp would thank you for saying willow not in the same level....they are apparently unbeaten in all competitions this season and a few ex league of ireland players....too tight to call but i would love to see Town and Saints win

was talking to a few of the lads last night and they are quietly confident, cant wait for a go at one of the limerick sides

You must be joking..........Make no mistake about it,, Pike want to win the Lawson, as well as every other comp they are in.

Neither were Star Rovers in the MJC and ye struggled big time against them, and ye were very very lucky to progress.

Willow to win for me....Clonmel Town are very average away from home.

Ha ha, any of the remaining Limerick teams would beat Clonmel, and that includes Kilmallock (no disrespect to the county boys).

its Clonmel Towns 4th quarter final in 5 years....show some respect abbey....there is life outside Limerick

**celticlads** · 10/03/2010, 11:32 PM

Some of the limerick lads have no respect for any team outside limerick.Clonmel are a great club and to say any of the limerick sides left would beat them is nonsense.Hopefully Clonmel will go on to win it and maybe then ye might give them and other teams the respect they deserve.

**Archangel** · 11/03/2010, 2:00 AM

Yeah the winner of the Pike/St. Michaels game look like the eventual winners. But cup football can throw the form book out the window. But having 6 quarter-finalists from Munster shows how strong the province is in junior football and long may it do so.

**neverseenit** · 11/03/2010, 7:37 AM

like you did with killmallock

Guys!!

Can we chat about the 1/4 finals etc?

I know Limerick Fans on this Forum fancy their chances etc but lets stop the Backbiting etc.

This is Junior Football with nobody getting paid???

So hears to a good weekend of Footie and lets hope there will be sme cracking ties.

I am from Athlone thus i want Willow to beat Clonmel and dont mind who comes through the other 1/4s!!
