Cheers west hammer.
villa beat celtic 2-1!
Really good game in Cashel tonight.
Thank God Villa won because if that decision not to give the penalty at 1-1 had of cost them the game it would have been an absolute disgrace,still bad for the game that the ref (and linesman who flagged to inform the ref of a sub wearing no top at the other side of the field, despite the fact that there was a 4th official on that side and it was nothing to do with the linesman anyway, yet couldnt flag for the easiest decision of his career on his side?) Special mention to the Villa goalkeeper, fantastic display
Super game. Credit to both sides on serving up a top game. Well done Peake. Celtic will hopefully pick it up for Munster final
anyone have any ides on who the new saints manager should be or will be......
Unbelievable stuff last night from peake. Very entertaining stuff. Celtic had a very strong team out and dominated but some of the committment and last ditch stuff from all villa players, especially the young keeper was great to see. Well done to both teams on the best cup final i have been to in years
Well done and congrats to Villa
Aidan Ryan.no brainer.
Excellent game last night.. Celtic reminded me of Arsenal, pass,pass,pass... but no penetration... Villa got maybe 3/4 chances in the game, and scored two of them.
Andrew Cosgraves through ball for the Celtic equaliser was sublime, as was O Hara's finish. Only thing O Hara did all night, but a goal scorer supreme. Kennedy wasted at least two chances to score for Celtic and offered nothing in general play.
As for the penalty claim by Peake, absolute stonewall penalty, no question. Very disappointed with the linesman, was right in line, and had to make the call. Peake would have been very very bitter had they lost after not getting that one.
Serious game by Peakes Noel Kent, played up front all night by himself, and was still full of running wen pulled down for the penalty.
Overall, great game to watch.. well done Peake
Excellent report. What was attendance like at game.
Delighted for peake to get the win , superb stuff. 4 tsdl medals for some of there young players in one season is great start to their football careers, hopefully peake can build on this for next season
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
Congrats to Villa was deserved with the effort they put in some great defending and there keeper pulled off some great saves especially the one in the 1st half where he got across to clear off the line brilliant. Celtic had a few chances just wouldn go in hit the bar 3r4 times just wasn to be hopefully they can regroup and do the business next sunday im sure the whole TSDL will be behind them.
I would consider being compared to Arsenal a compliment in fact. No penetration? They hit the woodwork four times, had two cleared off the line and have scored over 100 goals this season. No lack of penetration there. As they say it only takes a second to score. Patience, my boy
Comparison to Arsenal was an observation, not necessarily an insult.. in fact not an insult in any way at all. However, like so many Arsenal games over the past few years, and both of this years Champion's League semi finals, the team with most possession lost the game.I would consider being compared to Arsenal a compliment in fact.

It should have been instructive to Celtic, that the one goal they did score was a direct ball over the top of the defence which O Hara pounced on, and not the numerous intricate short passing movements in front of the Villa defence which were gobbled up by the two excellent centre halfs.
As for scoring 100 goals a season.. makes no odds at all.. they didn't score the one or two they needed on Thursday night. It was a classic comparison of styles to be honest, and kept the crowd interested right up to the final kick of the ball, which is all a fan can ask for, and as a nuetral at the game, I got value for money for my fiver. I would have preferred to see Celtic win, but the support for the underdog in Villa had me almost sneakily rooting for them in the end.
I do hope Celtic win the Munster Junior game Sunday.. but also hope they have a Plan B if Plan A runs up against the same kind of defence that it did on Thursday night.
On other matters, there was a fine crowd at the game.. but a muted athmosphere I thought. I also heard a few people complaining about the state of the pitch, which I thought was unfair after the cold winter snap... junior clubs can't make grass grow lads. If Cashel had a better solution to the parking problem, and better access to the pitch, it's well placed to host lots of games like the one Thursday evening.
i think to say that celtics problems are upfront is totally wrong. they didnt have much luck on thursday night and villa defended brilliantly but celtic created numerous chances. the real problem is that celtic totally dominated both posession and territory and still managed to concede twice. their real problems are at the back as they will always give up chances. i hope they sort this out for next week because as soon as they do they will be winning the provincial and maybe national trophies. they are lethal going forward, as good as anyone in the country.
Any final thoughts on how the season went? Best of luck to peake youths also has been a great season for them joe delauny cup would round it off nicely.
Decent season all in. Peake youths being the most positive news. Great season for them with another final to come. The six nil victory over town last week was a major result. At junior level I suppose Cahir Park had best season , but the big test for them is breaking into top 3 or 4 in premier division next season. Well done to Celtic also on 1st league title . Is there a refs awArd night this year . Any word on it ?
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
Any result from the peake youths game? Cahir had a great season if they can keep there team together and add a few more they could challenge in the top half of the premier. Dunno about the refs awards night they usually have something up on the tsdl website fairly soon after the season end, maybe they'l have something up next week.
