FAI cancel all games under their jurisdiction this weekend
Because of the adverse weather conditions currently affecting the country, the FAI Domestic Committee, Junior Council, Youth Committee and Schoolboys Football Association of Ireland have cancelled all national cup fixtures under their jurisdiction scheduled for this weekend (week-ending December 5, 2010). (FAI Website: www.fai.ie)
Would that include munster junior cup games west hammer?
I don't think so, the Munster Council run their own Cup, but that said I would expect them to follow suit after FAI statement. Talking to some off the lads involved with Clubs around West Tipp, games have no chance of being played Sunday. All pitches frozen solid.
Looks as if Carrick Utd have to travel to Cork to play Leeds AFC in Munster Senior Cup today.
Only any FAI Cup games down to be played this weekend are affected. Munster Cup and Junior league games depend on pitches being inspected by Clubs or if League demands left to the Ref to decide. I'd say results list will be short again this week. Thaw coming Mid week so hopefully back to normal next weekend!!
Clonmel celtic v borris is going ahead anyway.
Saints win 5-1 in Wilderness, Rossie with a hat trick and Foggie with 2, Wilderness reduced to 10 men at 2 nil down! Not a Yetti in-sight!
Apologies if i misguided anyone, i was told by a player that the game was to go ahead so i ended out there myself. Not sure why it was called off.Originally Posted by footballfanatic
Any other games go ahead other than wilderness-michaels?
Will the venue be changed for the return fixtures?
Only 2 games played the Wilderness v Michaels and 1 Div 3 game. Forecast for next weekend is good , dry and above avg temp for Dec, the thaw starts from Wed on so all games should be OK.
Ridiculous decision to play games today in all fairness though. The pitches all over the country would have been bone hard after the weather we've had, and if a player got badly injured, could people honestly have said that the hardness of the ground shouldn't have been a reason for postponement.
It's galling to be honest.
I dont think pitches were actually rock hard to be honest, there was a serious thaw the last few days. The pitch in borris was playable.
Maybe they got more heat in Borris, but all the other 20 odd games in Tipp were not called off by the Clubs just so they could all go xmas shopping. A frozen pitch is the most dangerous surface players can try to play on, a player can very easily brake an ankle on a frozen bumpy pitch!
I wasnt there but was told the ground was soft under foot so thats why it went ahead. The traveling side of things for teams as a group and for players as individuals to get their clubs is another aspect of things but if you dont turn up you get punished its a catch 22.
Carrick United (I KNOW THEY ARE NOT IN THE TSDL ITS JUST AN EXAMPLE) traveled to Lee-Side in Cork only to be told when they got their that the pitch was unplayable. 300 Euros for a bus OOOCCCHHHIIIEEE!
Ah that's ridiculous. If that happened my club I would be absolutely raging to be honest. The expense of paying for a Junior club is nonsensical, but in my book, bringing people unecessarily out in possibly dangerous driving conditions is unforgiveable.
It was Leeds FC lads and yes Carrick are raging.
2 full weekends fixtures lost and it's only start of Dec, any more weekends lost and we will have the old March - April problem of most clubs only playing every 2 - 3 weeks waiting for the Cup run teams that are having to play 2 games a week to get leagues finished. At least it will give us something else to complain about!
But hey at least it drags on teams seasons....if a team was knocked out of all cups, there season will nearly be over with only about 3 or 4 mathches for all after christmas. This is an example of a b team or maybe division 2or3 team. It keeps people doing a bit of activity.
cahir park are out of every cup since november and have only 4 league games left if it was not for inactivity of last few weeks they could have had there season finished easily before xmas madness really
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
we are and only for our own celebrations it would have been a total disaster. Muirs Walsh suggested a shield competition for teams knocked out of the two cups early? might be worth exploring
