I would disagree on the MSL post ,There is not one AUL team that would come near winning that league and more than likely would be relegated
I played Aul for nearly 10 years and played MSL for 3 years and and the difference is frightening
When the AUL teams meet the likes of Ringmahon ,Douglas Hall ,Avondale in the cups and its 50/50 or beat them ,you have to remember these are most clubs 2nd and 3rd teams
Plus how can you say the MSL is not strong when they have the current Intermediate champions among there ranks and beat the current FAI junior champions last weekend ,When you look at Cork junior teams and they haven't had a sniff of the trophy in over 50 years
Stevie mint .. you could a least get name right bud.. there are teams in msl apart from the big boys who are classed as senior leeds bandon etc and what I meant was aul top teams would beat them with reguards killumney and great things...it looks like history repeating it self . Like before mercenaries getting paid ..and like a lot of other aul teams folded soon after. Second division for x cork city players is hardly an attraction its financial .and dont let anyone kid you on that.. a club I played with at senior level went that way last year and it caused a lot of friction..

Why would it be sore looser ..like you asked no one came on to say how that game went . Theres always shocks in fai and munster junior cups..
I'm not referring to that game and you I'm just making my judgement on how critical you are of a better league and of a club doing well.and we all know shocks and football go hand in hand.
Your right on 1 thing when I was playing I hated looseing that is true .. and lost intermediate cup final in my playing days as well but the point I'm trying to make is that when a player chooses to play second division aul after playing league of ireland it just doesn't make sense to me unless its financial ..that's just my oppinion.

Super game today in mossie linnane at village grounds ..could have went either way..to be fair..the winner came from a deflection off Howie coakley one of village better players.. nice crowd there also..
Good win for Kanturk . Not an easy place to get a result at village.
Today might be a good indication of how strong the aul is nice mix of cup ties.
Was in sunny Spain just back today and just catching up .yes a few shocks in cups...seems to be the norm in fai and munster junior cups.. think teams tend to give panel players a run out in theese competitions.. glens defeat a shock to be fair.. but then cow would hold their own in aul.
Best side by far in buisness league..
Knocka always find it hard v pearse.. but still a shock and glenthorn v leeds not so much of a shock.. I think you will find cork sides like knocka this year wont enter Fai in future years ... for expense reasons and have no chance of winning.
Could be a lot of games fall this weekend.
Mossie semi finals
Glen v knocka
Bohs v kanturk.
Two cracking games.
3 of the best sides in aul without a doubt in the 4 should be a cracker the 1st tie ...glen v bohs final for me .
Bit of a joke no games fixed for next Sunday over the FAI cup, not sure too many people care about it been honest!
