Mahon must have given him some kick up the hole at Pats

His knee was in bits for most of that time, to be fair. This is the first decent few months of fully fit football he's got behind him in years.

I've been criticial of Bolger before (great technique not always matched by concentration), but he thoroughly deserves his place in the squad. A revelation for us this season.

Yep, standout player for UCD in game V Bohs at Belfield (before silly red card). Bolger has impresed me in any other bits I have sen of UCD this season.
Appreciate its a game of differing opinions but by and large would be happy enough with Doolins squad

Or even the score or how the match is going!

Seniors were 1-0 up when I left just before half time, keepers fault.

**SkStu** · 18/05/2010, 7:41 PM

Stokes got the goal for the Oirish. Finished 1-0. Good result for the U23's.

**Charlie Darwin** · 18/05/2010, 7:59 PM

I thought Stokes was due to start on the bench, or did he come on early?

Good show by the U23s apparently.

Trapatonni said 4 players from the u23s impressed him. He name Donnolly and Dennehy.

Even Trap remembered O'Donnell's name!

Lost 2-1 to England. Madden with the goal, assist by Gary McCabe.

I was at the game.Dissapointing performance from the Ireland u23's.Passing was poor,free kicks,corners all underhit or overhit.
Seemed over anxious.The English players were a lot taller than the Irish,none of them were smaller than 5'10.I'm sure when they
saw little Gary Mc Cabe coming on as a sub they were quaking in their boots.
We had a chance to get an equaliser at the end when little Padraig Amond broke through all he had to do was square it
to little Paddy Madden but chose to go for glory and missed.
