Cant see it happen do.Reserve ask the lads who have hyde got if they have any desent strikers will cause them problem there defence is poor.I THINK the hyde lads will know all bout kennedy players.

They finished 5th last year. They have lost 1 striker, the right winger and a central midfielder. All new players are either midfielders or defenders. I've seen them play a couple of times, they are in the game until the first goal goes in and then the head drops. Not much pace in attack.

anyone got any thoughts on the other games? the top 4 are playing against each other if i'm correct?
hospital v balla & pallasgreen v athlunkard
2 very good games there

I think Hyde will win by the odd goal in 3.....Why not...Give the underdog a chance...

Hospital to beat balla 3-1 and i think pallas will win 2-0....

We have to win simple as,

Other 2 games i agree with the above,Atlunkard have had a few bad results lately so dont see them getting a win,
Hospital are one of the strongest in the league so should win on there own patch,
All been said i hope its two draws!!

athlunkard have lost 2 games in the league already, both at home, can't afford to slip up again against pallas. can't see us losin, confident of a draw at the very least. hoping for a win obviously.
hospital will be too strong for balla. the balla defence is dodgy. hospital's defence is strong

summerville v kilfinnane should be interesting too.summerville are a good team that plays good football but going out to kilfinnane ye'll struggle to on possibly the worst pitch in europe.it lives up to the name kilfinnane forest.

not many teams will win out in kilfinane. they have some good forwards too. play good football. god only knows how they managed to learn how to play good football on that pitch though! reckon they could beat summerville but it'll probably be a draw

No way do they play good football, kick and rush and foul is there game plan,
Very hard to get a result out there Ville would be happy with a point.

that's a bit harsh now in fairness. just because they're a tough physical side doesn't mean they don't play good football. they scored a lotta goals last season and didn't concede many. away form cost them in the end. they'll be up there challenging this season

**Roadend** · 09/10/2008, 2:29 PM

They were closer to bottom than top last year

that's because the 2 top teams (janesboro and cals) finished miles ahead of everyone else. athlunkard finished 3rd, 8 or 9 points ahead of kilfinane who finished 4th or 5th can't remember exactly. everyone else finished close to each other

Played out there already this season. They played good football to be honest. Took no chances at the back but played nicely in midfield and upfront

can't see the kilfinane game being on. the ref somehow allowed us to play them out there last season. at half ten and there was gail force winds, heavy rain and water all over the pitch. finished 0-0. their pitch got wrecked and they were givin out about the ref allowing the game to go ahead. should never have been played. our pitch in the lee estate will be fine for the pallas game

we're blessed with the pitch in fairness. the "A" games are never called off. the odd "B" game has been called off because of a match bein played in the morning but very rarely. ye have a decent pitch too. actually hospital's game could be called off. we went out there last season and the ref called it off. weather was fine but there was water on the pitch

kilfinnane should have been relegated for not fulfilling their final league fixture vs janesboro.them not showing up led to boro getting the 3 points and winning the league which was a bit harsh on cals who had worked so hard all season.both still got promoted but im sure cals would have liked to have their name on the league trophy aswell as the league cup.

When you say "theres" i assume you mean Stars pitch?
In fairness it had one or two puddles of water on it, but the rest of our pitch was in great nick!!!!
You'll get a closer look at it when we play ye in the MJC.

what he meant i think was that stars pitch looked good and kilfinnanes was terrible.star and kennedy park have met in cups over the last couple of seasons and have always been very enjoyable games.hope the mjc game will be no different.
