i was also at the game it was a great game in very tough conditions for both sides. true regional missed a couple of chances second half but in fairness carew should of been 3 or 4 one up at half time they missed alot of chances and played regional off the field first half. i also agree you on carew were more clever on the day monty up front was causing the regional back 4 massive problems with his pace and took his goal very well. as for regional franky seemed more worried about getting creased than anything else carew wanted it more

Should have no problems with ballygawley though. Not a great side. Herbertstown will have problems with Abbey Utd, undoubtedly the best side in Sligo and current connacht cup champions

theres a very strong Limerick contingent out of town this year, pike, boro, carew would be 3 of the top 5 teams in the league over the last few years. The winners of fairview and wembley could go far if they got a favourable draw and herbertstown could be a real dark horse with some big scalps already this year.... this is where the real fun begins

Bennis will surely get in sunday.... These are big games now for Pike so i'd imagine that they'll bring him back into the side cause he has the experience with these games.. Will be intresting to see what the management team decide.Does anyone know anything about this crowd carew are playing?

**maestro** · 04/12/2006, 4:19 PM

Smackers is a fine goalkeeper , although he was at fault for the UL goal conditions didn't help. Bennis needs to chill and get fit , spoke to a renound goalkeeper at the game and he reckons Bennis lacks quality in big games!!

**MitreSize5** · 04/12/2006, 4:36 PM

... well if he doesnt learn his lesson after the last few months he never will, its up to him now

Ans I presume that this renowned goalkeeper is Kevin Fitzpatrick ???

Did i say renowned?

All the one we know it was him. And by the way smackers a good goalkeeper you need to get out more and watch him ! Alright he has played (probably) better this year then last, that's only becasue they have had only 1 keeper for the last few months now. (besides the polish guy who couldn't pley and Hickey only wants to play when he feels)
