**littleman** · 27/08/2009, 12:00 AM

Please accept my apoligies for the miss spelling on that last post,walking and txting isnt the easiest thing to do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Being honest both Grattan managers are very happy with the squad we have assembled.A lot of clubs seem to be struggling to get a decent bunch together.We have bascially had a look at areas we needed to improve in, and brought players in to add competition for those places."

Olli,look at the team line up again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,slowly.

Graham Keane had nothing to lose by having a go at Cahir Park.He did all his coaching badges while he was at Preston so its not as if he dosent have the right credentials.Its a tough league to be in all the same and I hope he turns it around.If not an he decides to just go back playing then I'll be the first to give him a ring.

Yeah just saw that there now - automatically thought he wasnt there when he wasnt playing upfront

So Keegan aside and lets say Keith Kelleher has gone to the MSL too it looks like from an attacking point of view the AUL panel is seriously weakened - anyone new look like would be able to fill the boots of those players

**littleman** · 27/08/2009, 3:11 AM

Thats a hard question to answer Olli.The quality is their alright.But has a perspective manager the eye to uncover it.

I agree with you there - but I'm just asking if there is anyone that we on this site think could be added to the panel! I think Knockavilla have a few players who could make the step up (dont know their names sorry!!)

**kingcorner** · 27/08/2009, 8:31 AM

It's sad to see derek go but we feel we have a good enough squad to be able to compete this season, good luck to derek he has been a great servent for leeside.

**Innishvilla** · 27/08/2009, 10:15 AM

OK lads, how about it in advance of the new (delayed) season...

Predictions? I know we're all a bit all over the shop with squads etc, but it'd be interesting to do it now and again in a few months time...

Prem:
Between Gratts, Kinsale and Wilton. Is it just me or have Wilton been very quiet... I'll go for neighbours Kinsale.
Prem A
Blackstone R.
Div 1
Leeside (I think they turned down Prem A as they fancied winning this league first)
Div 1A
Passage
Div 2
Innishvilla (A bit biased here!)
Div 2A
Springfield - if that's the team that just got promoted??? Which one Bella?
If not - Glanworth
Div 2B
Leeview
or if I've the wrong Springfield team above - I fancy the team that got promoted last year to go up again this year
Div 3
Afton Villa
Div 3A
Strand Utd. or Macroom.

**bellavistaman** · 27/08/2009, 1:16 PM

One thing we do every year is a local Church Gate collection.. You need to approach your local Parish Priest to get a date and then get a permit from the Gaurds. If every club member is willing to give 20/25 mins of their time on a Saturday evening or Sunday morning to collect before Mass it is a great success and a nice earner with very little organisation needed.
We have been doing it for years. It's amazing how many old fellas stop to tell you about when they played for the Vale in the 50's/60's and give more than they probably can afford.

**bluey** · 27/08/2009, 2:19 PM

Prem
1st Leeside

2nd Kinsale 3rd Grattan
Prem A
Blackstone/Grangevale maybe Leeds
Div 1
Leeside/Grangevale
Div 1a
Mayfield

After that wouldn be to much up on teams in other divisions
Leeside C team have a big squad of 25+ in fairness to them and can see them doing well enough in their 1st season

**shetland** · 27/08/2009, 4:02 PM

premier .grattan .kinsale. leeside.premier A,KANTURK .ballyvolane. castleview. would be my choices for honors in top two sections.

Hi Doug, yeah ye've "caught" me a few times with the church-gate collections. I know Innishvilla do them as well. For fundraising though we are currently having to go to different levels than normal, with the cost of buying the land and developing it all on the clubs own back, no major FAI or Gov grants coming our way yet!!!

We have the typical/usual golf classics etc but that money is set aside along with membership for the day to day expenses. Our main fundraisers have to aim bigger... We've done auctions, the first was amazing, we had so many people at it. It was well run and it was great craic. We made over €20k from it and a great night was had by all. We did it again but unfortunately it clashed with a few other events, but we still brought in about €10k. Our main earners is a restricted members lotto draw, very tough to run and takes an awful amount of set-up and management, but it is a serious money earner... This is not a weekly club lotto, it is based on a national lottery and Euromillions syndicate.

**Radiostar** · 28/08/2009, 12:28 PM

Inishvilla,

Can you give a bit more information on the auctions please, thats a serious amount of money raised.

Yes it was a great fundraiser, now I think it was in 2005 when we ran the first one, no sign of recession then. But the local community really got involved as there hadn't been any other club or group had done it in the locality, that was a great advantage, it was "new". I think at the time we had our plan for the new pitches etc on the table so it was easier to explain to people why we needed the cash/lots donated. If it was just for the everyday running of the club, I don't think we'd have done that well.

I think we charged �5 @ the door for a brochure. The place was open about 2 hours before the lots started selling but the most important part was the auctioneer. We got a local guy Paudie Palmer, he commentates on 96fm for some matches but he is a real character and really was excellent. We knew we were onto a winner when he let people know that the auction was not for people to get bargains, there were vouchers worth �100 that were sold for �150!!! We had about 120 lots varying from DVD players, up to signed and framed Man U jersey (went for �1,000) and everything in between. Highlight for me was a signed Innishannon AFC jersey from the last game of the previous season (club renamed Innishvilla to incorporate the underage structure) sold for something like �250, and two Cobh Ramblers players arrived down after training, half way through the event with a signed jersey that Paudie managed to get about �300 for if memory serves me...

Anyone looking for more info send me a PM and I might be able to help out...
