Very true... ive seen average underage players become very good premier players and exceptional under age players loose interest and end up playing in lower divisions...The right attitude does give players an edge...Originally Posted by Green_Hoop
The question mark in the photo is Matthew Bashford. He plays the bagpipes or something like that and travels around the world doing it. Or so I'm told anyway..

Mathew Bashford, fine full back in those days
carew park had a fine minor team going back a few years.gordon stewart,paul dillon james naughton nicky kelly jason and philip colopy ger ned pat koyce etc.
think that was about 1992-1993 - some of them played on the youth OT team the lost in the final on peno's (i think gordon missed the vital one)
'You should never have a bad game, off the ball.......'
spot on gordon missed it but they had a super team at time.
didnt dom foley play on that team at the time and mick devine the cork city keeper was in goals against them in the final for waterford and got man of the match
Didn't realise alan barry was that old.Does that donal lavery guy play with abbey now?
Yeah he'd be almost 30...
yes dom did play.didnt know the keepers name but he was outstanding the same day as far as i remember.
It was actually Paul Flynn who plays with Waterford hurling that was in goals that day!He did get the Man of the Match award but Billy Tynan was to be given it only for Waterford winning the penalty shoot out and your man Paul Flynn saving most of them.
anyone from granvile on here,
hows robbie doing for ye in goals
There's no such thing as luck. Victories for the underdog are an aberration on the order of the universe - which is why I've had damn few loses in my time
he has some pain in his back i'd say from picking the ball out of the net

Wouldnt say it has anything to do with attitude
More like good players having lifes to live and not wanting to take local football as serious as some people!
Because the Premier is pretty poor these days (probably due to the average players with the good attitudes),whether your in the Premier or 3b its all the same really just as long as your enjoying yourself with mates!
"The World Cup is a truly International event." John Motson
Would not say the premier is poor but in my opinion the standard has dropped as the years have gone on.I believe that a lot of the top teams now would not have lived with the top teams of the 80's and 90's.
you'd still do a job i'd say
yeah Lavery is with Abbey but mostly concentrates on the GAA with Claughaun.
how did ye get on against wembley today dared?what was the result in the game?
Corbally 3-1 Wembly. Corbally were by far the better team despite their first goal coming against the run of play.The two centre halves and keeper were a bit shakey at the start. They could have won by a lot more in the second half which they dominated. Wembly threatened very little and when they did it came from long through ins from Brian Finnegan. Things could really turn around considering they have most of the top teams played and they have some of their better players to come back for the second half of the season.
thats a good win for corbally.they seem to be getting the better of the teams down around them in the league.another win or 2 and i can definately see them staying up and finishing comfortably in mid table.anybody have the scorers for them?
