i heard a rumour last night that st peters might be thrown out of counties cup for not playin a fixture 48 hours after the FAI CUP FINAL..If this is true my god the league has a lot to answer to and surely there is something peters can do about it..The league should be rewarding teams for doing well in national cups.as the AUL has done for ballymun..i feel sorry for some of the players because its the top local cup and lots of Players would love the chance to win it..

**chopper harris** · 10/05/2009, 9:46 AM

I heard this last night too, what I joke. Some posters here appear to be right about the CCFL committe, lack of professionalism, poor promotion etc. I also heard lsat night that Ballymun didn't play a game for two weeks prior to the FAI Final, Peters were out the Sunday before and Tuesday after.

There are obvious issues within the league exec becuase I know the few in place are are trying to do an awful lot and by stretching themselves are letting the ball drop. The "b" all and end all appears to be their Dinner dance at the end of year, without Top teams they have no "real" league.

Having said all of that though, it looks as though Willow ans St Peters would have a clean sweep and with Melville promoted, Monksland in a Final and temple villa flying it's about time the CCFL paid tribute to soccor in Athlone.

Congrats to all clubs mentioned above.

Heard Both semi were played 2day after St peters put in an appeal..Just read the rules there..

In the event of an Appeal being lodged against a decision of the League with the Leinster Football Association, no points shall be awarded and no Cup fixtures shall be played, pending the outcome of such an Appeal or Protest.

**Fr Damo** · 11/05/2009, 8:39 AM

I am not going to do the washing in public but there is a protest in with the league exec who are meeting tonight to discuss. I fully expect the protest to be thrown out. Next stop is Dublin and the LFA. This will mean a ball cannot be kicked in this particular competition until the appeal is heard. Considering we are the business end of a season surely nobody wants this??
CCFL AGM (monday 11th May) this evening in the Bridge house at 8.30pm. Looking forward to the awards night on May 28th.

Unfortunately Monksland United lost the CCFL Div 2/Denis Delaney Cup Final
8-7 on pens yesterday in Clara. Game finished 2-2 AET, 3-3 on Pens and
then into sudden death.

On a bright note though, the did win promotion to Division 1

Push in the back!

Ian O'Reilly gets in a tangle

Seamie McCormack saves in the shoot out

Division 3B is turning into a bit of a sham, 3 teams pulled out before the season ended and rumour of at
least 1 team more calling it a day when the season finishes. And with Clonbunny promoted there will be
plenty of local derbies with Monksland B, Gentex, Clonown & Moate also in D3B

Fair play to Monksland, they put in a lot of effort this year on and off the Park. Have a great facility out there and have a great chance of improving. More people live in monksland and it's environs than most rural villages who compete in the CCFL. Should be a good next season, head to head against willow park!

well done to Monksland united, great group of lads and great facilities. looking forward to seeing you in the senior division.

Counties Cup Final this Sunday, willow must be fancied now that Peters are out? Anyone know what happened there?
Big game also next Tuesday night, Top of the Table Clash that will decide the champs I guess. Peters look like scoring always but willow have a great defence with Robbie Shine. Should be fascinating battle. Money is on a Willow win. Crowd will spurr them on.

**Ash** · 13/05/2009, 10:44 AM

Big one in Division 3B on Thursday ... Gentex v Clonown!
If Gentex drop points then Monksland B finish above them

Was shaping up nicely in last nights game between Gentex and Lawrencetown,
but a lapse in concentration by the Lawrencetown keeper in the final 5 seconds
of the game gifted Gentex all 3 points!

Congrats to Sully and Willow Park for lifting the Counties Cup on Sunday down in Roscrea. Mullingar Ath also deserve credit for getting to two cup finals this year as they play Peters next sunday in the Paddy Cotter cup probably in Clara.

Top of the table clash tomorrow night tuesday as willow host Peters in what can only be described as the league decider. Willow possibly favorites on the back of current form but Peters turned in a very professional performace yesterday beating Mountmellick 8 - 2 so it's all to play for.

Peters in the LFA offices for a hearing this evening in relation to the Counties Cup eleminantion, how the CCFL progressed with the cup is beyond me considering there was an appeal / protest being made.

Will Peters look for the games to be replayed if successful? Hardly but they would be entitled to it.

**Battery Rover** · 21/05/2009, 9:30 AM

Willow vs St Peters finished 2-2 so if they both win their games this weekend we have a tie for first. A play off is scheduled for Athlone Town Stadium next Thursday evening from what I have heard if needed.
