The Venue for the game is Hawkins Lane, Tullow, (the home of Parkville United).

Best of luck to guys

Heard this was cancelled? True or false?

Cobh l heard could not field a team because most are on the team for a championship today and un 17s were playing a league match

Carlow are playing us on Wednesday night next, so I presume that's now their first ever league game. Not sure of kick-off time, either 7.45 or 8.00pm, and it's on astro at Waterpark Rugby Club, which for anyone planning to go is to be found down to the left and behind the Regional Hospital complex.
Actually if anyone does need more comprehensive directions post it here and I'll add them.
And be prepared if you are going, this is the place that I've been savaged the worst by the mossies, as mentioned in this thread!

Best of luck to FC Carlow, whenever they do kick off. It's good to have another team in the south east.

Is their home game v Limerick next weekend going to be their first one then?

Are they all in Tullow?

Their first home game, yes, and I think they're all played at Tullow alright.
Their first actual match is this Wednesday at 7.45pm in Waterford, and I've just this minute been told that the venue for the game is changed once again and it will now take place at Ferrybank FC's ground, on grass, under lights. Waterpark was adjudged not good enough, and I would guess that it wasn't the venue per se, just that the pitch is on the small side (I used to play NightOwls on it, and a couple of foot.ie-ers still do).

Apparently this is a re-fix of what should have been the first match. It should have been here but we hadn't a team assembled at the time, then it was switched to Carlow but the pitch got waterlogged just before the game, and now it's back here again!

Looks OK to me.

Good luck

Looks good. Directions on the site too.

I'll be down tomorrow to support the Blues.

Made it to Tullow for the first time ever not to mind my first football match there.

Well beaten 3-0. OG early on and our keeper was so incensed by the ref he chased him back to the halfway line. Didn't see anything wrong with it. We were the better team for the whole first half but rarely threatened. Outclassed after the break.

Crowd was approx 120.

Missed the first goal but everything else Gary said I'd verify. Maybe thought the crowd was a little lower. Bizarre place for a game with all those silos in the background. I liked it.
