That's great news. ....all we need now is a goal scorer and 2 back up full backs because we are always short there when we get injuries.
I heard last night that David O'Sullivan a forward has signed from Arklow Town. From what I heard about him he was their top scorer who scored twenty goals. Apprently we beat one of the Dublin clubs to his signature.Hopefully he can be our Keith O Connor who came from the LSL Bluebell Utd.
I also heard that Hylo was lookin for too much money to stay Apparently we were very close to sign Bennion earlier this year when he joined Shels for his second spell.

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
We've signed a striker who was scoring plenty in the Leinster Senior League apparently. I heard his name but can't remember it now. Martinho knows the name I think.
Edit: there you go, that was well timed!
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Signing Willo McDonagh is a huge boost, great ball playing centre half and not afraid to get stuck in (ask seanie maquire). If we can keep and get Des Hope back and fit that would be a great boost. Happy so far at a few of the players we have kept, but the name I look for everytime i see an update is Crawley, any word on him? Was he there last night?
Wasn't there but then a lot of them weren't. Didn't hear anything about him one way or another but Tony Cousins was saying he's been very busy and is very pleased with who he's managed to hold on to. We should be announcing signings in the next few weeks. He said something like you won't have heard of some of them but they'll be stars by the end of the season, there's others you will know and will be pleased with.

From what I heard last night Keith Gillespie is definitely staying.Mick Lee is waitin on confirmation I hope he stays.

btw Craig Hyland is going to Bohs.. all will be confrmd in the comin days..

Crawley was there last night. Unless I was more drunk that I thought.
Sporting F*ck All!
Maybe he was there so, I didn't notice him but it's possible. I wasn't really near the players table to be fair.

Hylo and Tony not seeing eye to eye is more the reason he's not staying than money.
By the sounds of things TC felt he wasn't organising the defence well enough and wanted a more experienced keeper. Hyland probably felt he was being harshly blamed. He's a good young keeper though hopefully he does well for himself.

yep he was 100% there I can confirm!

I was very disappointed with the amount of players that turned out. Fair play to ones that did!
Sporting F*ck All!
Encouraging so far to see a lot of the players resigning!A bit disappointed to see Bayly and Hylo gone!
Thought Hylo was a great shop stopper and saved us a few times during the season,glad to see TC has at least got in another goal keeper to replace him and whatever about how good Bennion is,his experience will come in useful especially if he is commanding things from the back.
As for Bayly, there doesn't seem to be a lot of love for him on here but I thought he was a good solid midfielder,always showing for the ball and encouraging the back four to pass it out rather then hoofing it up field. People seemed to criticise him for not looking interested at times but considering our team basically collapsed for the second half of the season when he signed I don't think he is the only player who could be accused of that..
Glad to hear Tomo was at the dinner dance the other night....it will be a major boost for us if he resigns..
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Not a hope of Crawley re-signing. If he does, I'll be very surprised. No harm in Bayly leaving.
Sporting F*ck All!
Someone told me Tommo is going on trial with a club in england I cant say much more but I honestly dont think we will be lucky enough to keep him.
As for this new LSL striker the last time we brought in strikers with great records from it were the Roche brothers so lets hope he is a bit more long lasting.

David O Sullivan played for Bray's reserves for a couple of seasons and did very well, IMO he never got a fair chance in the first team under Gormley, has been knocking in goals for fun in the LSL for the last number of years, TC should have a look at Don o Neill (Arklow) classy midfielder who also was not on good terms with Gormley in Bray, he should be playing at a higher standard.
I heard last night at the under 19 match that Karl Bermingham has gone. no loss really.
