2.Taking of chances,in 1a just say on average you have 7 or 8 chances to score every game and usually its poor finishing that lets you down.In premier you are lucky to get half that ammount and with the same poor finishing you don't score many goals also the teams you are playing against are a lot more clinical than teams outside the premier division.Strangely so far this year we haven't been the worst goalscorers but when you let in a lot more than you score your in trouble.

personally i think Star and Shannon will go up with star being better equipped for the premier league

long way to go before prem footy can be discussed

On a diff note, how will the promoted teams do in Prem next year, will they need much strengthening or do they have good enough teams/squads?

Hopefully this game won't be as important as people think........

Big game for us in the morning with a chance to try and put a bit of daylight between ourselves and Caherdavin,,, if we win we'll be 5pts clear of 3rd with Caherdavin's game in hand being next midweek away to Summerville...........not even thinking of what way it will be if we fail to win.

24/25 points looks about the points needed for survival

**abbeyvale** · 21/04/2010, 10:35 AM

Fixtures
Thursday 22/04/10 @ 18.30
Balla v Dromore (a must win game for both teams)
Granville v Herbertstown (Anything but a Granville win would surely end their outside chance of promotion, If Herbertstown draw or lose, they're officially relegated).
Charleville v Croom (Must win game for Croom)
Summerville v Caherdavin (I think if Summerville fail to win this their promotion hopes are gone, Caherdavin need at least a point from this to stay in touch)
Shannon v Prospect (Must win game for Shannon, think Prospect would take a draw)

Balla 2 - 1 Dromore Celtic

bad game to watch. Could have went either way. Chances at either end in second half. Balla won it with a header from a corner. Prob deserved it as they shaded it in their first half performance.

Where i was couldn't really see it(im like Arsene Wenger) think we could have another aswell and we missed a few chances but as i said we had to dig in a work hard.

Prospect had a goal wiped off for nothing the ref blew for offside, they peno was very harsh in all fairness. A draw would of being fair result.

**Fairkop** · 22/04/2010, 10:37 PM

are we dismissing summerville and granville chances now or have they still a shout.big wins for shannon and caherdavin tonight and shannon look like they have a better run in without being disrespectful to their opponents.

**CupWinner99** · 23/04/2010, 7:08 AM

Ya, they have too much to do now. Star and Town would have to lose all their games. The two teams have to play each other too.

**drayer** · 23/04/2010, 10:15 AM

watched the S'Ville v C'davin game. S'Ville played absolutely no football, ball just hoofed up in the air, if they actually tried to play it on the ground they had 2 wingers who could have burned the c'davin fullbacks. Forwards got no ball to feet at all. C'davin played a bit of footy & got 2 very nice & well taken goals. C'davin to play Star now 2 points between them
