Possible group winner decider ? Probably to early for that...

I think you've won the group now? We're all but assured of going through as well.

Some good attackers Bray have; gave us trouble all night. The defenders haven't a first touch between them, but unfortunately our forwards didn't have enough to give them any sort of proper trouble all night. That penalty/goal call midway in the first half at 1-0 would have changed the game (as would walloping the ball in the net and calling the penalty afterwards), but the better team won in the end.

As would the 2nd goal that Bray scored but was given offside when he was about 3 yards onside ! Had to laugh, the UCD keeper was going mad, he kicked the ball back up to the half way line and couldn't beleive his luck when offside was given, the look on his face was just priceless !

It's a really good bunch of young lads we have at that level, hopefully they can all progress to a high standard and play in our 1st team, although a few of them have already and a few have been in the match squad to.

That's right, yeah! Gas cos everyone in the ground could see the ref had given a free out (wasn't sure if it was a push or offside at first, but the linesman called it, so it must have been offside, although I don't see how it could have been). I was wondering what he was doing. All our players thought it was a goal too, I think.

It was neither a free or offside

Richie Winter doing his usual best to give his "local" league of Ireland side nothing

But in fairness, don't know how he got it wrong, player was 2/3 yards behind the cross when it was put in, he stepped away fom the centre half and was in clear space and smashed home the header.

Yeah all the UCD players thought they had gone 2 down with their reactions, funny stuff.

Kildare County 2 - 3 UCD

Tough game for College down in Clane, twice pegged back by a useful Kildare side. Goals from Connolly, Falconer and Dineen for UCD.

I feel Kildare deserved at least a draw. There was some good passing by both sides during the miserable weather in the first half.
Was it David McMillan who hit the bar from at least 30 yards in the first half?

Indeed it was, cracking free-kick. Yes perhaps a draw would have been a fairer result as UCD were really left hanging on at the end, but it's hard to begrudge them the hard-won victory I feel!
