Cork AUL 2010/11

A.U.L. 2A

Killowen 3 C.F.C. Banteer 1

A badly needed win for us as a defeat would have seen us slip towards the foot of the table. As it stands we are now mid table and four points behind the leaders. It was a point emphasised to the players before kick off and they responded with a good all round performance.
We scored early on after our centre forward took advantage of a mistake in the Banteer defence. We had a lot of possession in the opening half but failed to add a second goal. Banteer didn't pose a threat during this time but still managed to score an equaliser just before the break as we failed to deal with a long kick from their keeper and allowed their centre forward in for a simple header. We went ahead again a minute into the 2nd half courtesy of a well struck free kick. It was 3-1 five minutes later as we converted a penalty at the 2nd attempt, the referee ordered a retake as their keeper moved off his line before the 1st kick was taken. From then on it was all Banteer as we were stuck in our own half. However, our keeper wasn't worked as our midfield and defence held firm and forced Banteer into shooting from distance. A good win for us but plenty room for improvement.

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.

Great result for us over weekend, Mr Holden has said it all really,every fella put in 100% effort! Tough one at home next week to wilton! As for oscar traynor i would be shocked if Mr Holden didn`t get a call up! He`s even scoring headers now ha ha!!

Bieber, Wilton were the best I saw - if Ballyvolane are better they must be good. I didnt ask how they compared actually - must do that!!

The Mr Shinkwin to Blarney story came from a good source, so its true alright.

**super_mario** · 27/09/2010, 8:58 PM

Throw in the fact Trevor hallisey came back to Bohs and all is not going well up in Grattan, Hope they pull through to be honest, have a lot of friends up there

**bieber** · 27/09/2010, 9:04 PM

thats the rumor going around .sully to castleview and shinkwin to blarney seniors.two big losses to grattan.

**bluey** · 28/09/2010, 4:10 PM

Heard those rumours all right on sat so seems to be true about o sullivan and shinkwin. from what i am hearing there is another 3 gone also, figo,goulding and shaw. think there was a big run in with LITTLEMAN after bohs game, that came from same source as shinkwin and o sullivan rumour. Well killer B if this true are some of the b team after making the step up???

**fruice** · 28/09/2010, 4:48 PM

**killer"B"** · 28/09/2010, 6:04 PM

**overthehill** · 28/09/2010, 6:59 PM

Whatever about the others, Goulding gone nowhwere except on holidays to Bulgaria, thats why he missed last weekends game. Wont be back until after the deadline so he will be staying put! Where are figo and shaw supposed to be gone?

**overthehill** · 28/09/2010, 7:03 PM

What about the selection of players going to the AUL trial game - as posted on Billys site- not many "household" names there!

**shetland** · 28/09/2010, 7:35 PM

**bieber** · 28/09/2010, 7:41 PM

i agree totally with you shetland,shouldnt be in charge.last years performance at cross v clare was shocking and manageing in another league just isnt on at all.

**sharpshooter** · 28/09/2010, 7:50 PM

**bieber** · 28/09/2010, 8:37 PM
