Blackstone Rovers 2 v 4 Wilton.
A huge crowd out in Monard for the double header with Blarney Street & Leeside.....I wont mention the parking.....lets just say the theory about footballers and no brains was given a hefty boost!!!!
We started ok and had a half chance or two before conceding on 13. A goal for each side within a minute (Skilly made it 8 goals in 7 games so far this season) made it 2-1 on 25. Another goal before the break left us two down and a mountain to climb. We pulled one back midway though the half and had a few chances to equalise before the scored again with 10 to go. Best side we have met in my opinion, the two ex LOI lads stood out as did Shane O Neill.
I was really down after the game, but, on further analysis of our defeats so far - all have been Premier sides, and all have been from top half Premier sides. I think we will be ok. Its funny how we were miserly on either end of the field last year, but, much more crowd pleasing this year with goals at either end.
Lets insult Mr Holden again before any Cork AUL game so, Shilts,........we might see a hat-trick. Dont you love the names he made up for the match report when we all know its him(only messing Holden!!)
Fairview told me that they deserved their draw, if not more, from their game with Grattan. They thought Grattans peno was dubious. Tough for them now with Brian Sull & Shinkwin gone.
Prem A league results went as I thought they might. Our first one at the weekend away to Leeds - two good games last year. Looks like it might be a fight between 6 teams to join Greenwood, but Kanturk blazed out of the traps last year and suffered later on. Its a long time before medals will be given out.
