First competitive game of the season (Feb 22nd)

**sligoman** · 25/01/2010, 1:04 PM

The Derry away game is on 26th February according to here. Surely that's a mistake as we're scheduled to play Cliftonville the next day...

Just being pedantic (getting our monies worth from this word today). As in, a competitive friendly is a contradiction.... oxymoron.

Heard Rovers are playing a Sligo/Leitrim select on Wednesday night at 7.30 in McSharry Park.

That reminds me of the discos in Seafield (aka Sellafield) in Easkey. Wild fights. Luckily for Rovers, Enniscrone would never have Easkey lads playing for them!

Apologies if this has been asked a million times in another thread but is there a definite date yet for the start of the LOI this year?

**prodsc** · 03/02/2010, 9:15 AM

Season starts March 5th.
Setanta Cup final May 15th

Setanta semi's scheduled for 29th March, 3rd April & 17th April. Not sure if this is still the case now with one team less in Derry's group.

How did O' Mahoney and Duffy get on in the first half ?

SECOND: brush, whelan, foran, peers, keohane, ogrady, ryan, cass, doyle, winger from liverpool and some other lad

duffy played first half at centre half and meenan at right back- o mahoney and duffy did ok but did not stand out imho

**CRFC&SRFC** · 03/02/2010, 8:53 PM

Could someone confirm who was the right full for rovers second half? Looked good on ball and got forward at pace alot

Thought amond really looked the part 1st half although Sligo Leitrim werent in it at all and couldnt compete all over the pitch (to be expected)...Foran showed one or 2 nice touches 2nd half on a terrible pitch, although SligoLeitrm did get through down right hand side a couple of times between him and keohane(i think)

J McCartney did very well first half imo, very pacey and put in a few great crosses.

All in all a decent run out a chance to see some alot of new faces. Fair play to Sligo Leitrim for not throwing in towel 2nd half
