What kind of squad are Chelsea bringing? Any first team players at all?

I think it's all reserves including a former player of theirs.

No former pats players at Chelsea. Couple of players who played the weekend involved (Stoch and some other guy I don't know). Essien may be travelling too

**Dunny** · 17/02/2009, 1:56 PM

Apologies, I thought I read it somewhere their was a former player coming back with the reserves...

Conor Clifford Ireland U17 captain last year is a Pats fan and playing for Chelsea. Probably what you heard/read.

Not sold out, but apparently selling well. �10 for terrace, �15 for stand

There's a bit on the Pats website with Clifford (who's a terrific prospect btw) tlaking about how playing at Richmond is a dream come true.

"I used to love watching Keith Fahey when I was growing up" Seriously, how old does that make Keith Fahey feel

How much are Chelsea charging for that, out of interest?

Ya and Doolin reckon's he's not good enough.

Drogheda United vs. Dundalk FC

United Park Tuesday 24th February, KO 7.45pm.

**gufc2000** · 18/02/2009, 8:46 PM

Galway Utd 2-2 Cork.
Att. 250 approx
Jayo and Vinny Faherty for us, Davin O'Neill and Dan Muarry for Cork.
Good entertaining friendly played on a miserably cold and wet night in Terryland. First Half was poor, more openings created in the Second Period. We had two trialists up front Declan Edwards (Stockport) and Michael McGrath (Kidderminster). Edwards will probably be joining us on loan, not sure about McGrath

**corkboy360** · 18/02/2009, 9:12 PM

****ing Greg O Halloran still hanging around

**Buile Shuibhne** · 18/02/2009, 9:30 PM

Liffey Pearse 0 - 3 Shels

Scorers: Bisto, Hynes, David 'Hunty' Mulqueen (trialist)

**oldyouth** · 18/02/2009, 10:02 PM

Youths 0 - 0 Dundalk.

Big changes in the Youths line up and Patsy going off with a hamstring in the 1st half. Holden organising the defence throughout the game, I hope he stays.
Dundalk changed their entire team through the course of the game with only Singh looking special, but good movement all the same from the rest.
Chances were very few for either side but Dundalk should have taken the lead when the keeper was lobbed only for it to go wide.
Bring on the Shams

Any good man?anyone really impress?how did we look in your opinion?

**fergalr** · 18/02/2009, 10:53 PM

Pats 2 all vs Chelsea kids (who had been two up).

Good free from Cawley and very good showing by the kid Clifford.

Entertaining and very robust for a friendly.
