Blarney St Ath 2 Wilton Utd 1
Well lads another great result for us on Saturday. We went out with a game plan and to a man stuck to it. Wilton started off the better of the two teams with Paul O Mahony meeting a cross from Cian Blake but Eddie made a good save to put it over the bar. We started to get control a bit after that but not any clearcut chances for either side. A clever ball splitting the centre halves was met by Gary Nolan who pulled it away from the on coming Bella in goal for Wilton and dispatched it in to the net to give us the lead. Not many more chances in the first half. 2nd half we had said to keep up the intensity and to try get a 2nd. £mins into the half and Timmy was blown away in the box , a spotter was given. Eddie stepped up and scored. 2 nil to the Steet. We seemed to sit back then and been honest the were just coming and coming against us but the lads stood up and kept them out in the final 3rd. Wilton then got a Pen when a ball was crossed intom the box Judge went up to head away ans Shane stayed down Ref gave it. Paul O Mahony took it but it was saved by Eddie. With around 15 left Wilton got a cornor , taken low to the front post Pakie met it , Eddie saved the first attempt but Pakie followed in to convert it. We held on till the end and taught we should had had had another pen but wasnt given.
As said delighted with the win, Ballyvolane away next Sat. I see they gave a walkover against ye Inswinger?
"Build it and they will come"
hey Dixie
Football........its not for girls!!!!
its very early to be predicting who wins the league kinsale have only played 4 matches,the top three at the moment all have to play each other 11 or 12 matches played should gives us a better idea
i agree with shilts
looks like we will be seeing you in kinsale jersey next season!!
Any reports on the Killumney v Pearse game ?
Well done Pearse anyway !
Shouldnt be talking soccer to Girls Dixie!!! Ballyvolane will not only see out the month but will see out the season. Ballyvolane are in the same boat as a lot of clubs who have a tight enough panel and last weekend was one of those occassions when too many guys had things on the same day. Could possibly have gathered a few strays to fill the fixture but have been bitten before over non registered players and wont go that way again!! AUL were contacted asap sat morning and hand was held up. As other posters have said, the amount of teams fielding unreg players is getting out of hand from what i hear. So for those of you looking for Ballyvolanes Demise - u too boo!, sorry to disappoint.
Well said overthehill. I wonder will this confirmation of health spread as fast as the rumours of your demise. I doubt it. The two lads up there have put in a mountain of effort. I dont think the modern player realises that all this ego will come back and bite them. No loyalty will drive volunteers away - no volunteers - no football.
Where did i say i was looking for Ballyvolanes demise?? Far from it. Are people reading between the lines again?? I simply reported what i heard on the ground. Hope they pull through it
Hill, nobody wants to see it no matter what league a team is in and if it doesn't affect your own team. A team going bust is the sign of terrible things in the league!

Delighted to hear it was a once off over the hill, never nice to see teams in trouble which of course ye are not. Local derby for ye this saturday i see. And credit for not going down the road of fielding illegal players. Will ye incur a fine now for last Saturday? Out of curiousity with ye and Glenthorn down in numbers would it not be an idea of pooling resources together for the future as both clubs are from the same neck of the woods. Or am i being niave!!
I'm just too confident in yer ability Shilts
I know its very early days but just taught because the way results went with yer first league game in a long while, its already begining to fall into place for yerselves!!
Thanks for the vote of confidence footiefanatic.I'm just too confident in yer ability Shilts

But we can't put that on the mantlepiece can we?
Only trophies go on the mantlepiece and this years ones won't be given out for a long while yet.
I'm too long in the game to be getting excited after a mere 4 games played.
That doesn't even count as a good run, in my book!
The leading teams all have to play each other yet, twice in some cases.
Injuries, suspensions, emigration will affect all teams.
Throw in teams fighting against relegation and you'll find that there are no soft games in the AUL Prem.
All to play for yet - plenty of fun and games before the end of May!
I think if this is brought to the attention of AUL it will be the end of Glenthorn.Did I hear that they were thrown out of AOH cup.
Special AUL meeting this week about finances. All club chairmen and Secretarys to attend. Sounds serious, Anyone any ideas what this meeting is about.
Dunno what the meeting is about View.
3 theories:
1) The big bucks in the bank are gone via some bad Investment package.
2) They want to get teams to pay more money. I always back the AUL lads on this forum but if they cannot see what trouble clubs are in, I will be very disapointed.
3) They wanna give us money somehow. Am I being too optimistic?
Not sure Horse but fairly sure they won't be offering us money haha. I know the Aul have a lot of money in the kitty but hopefully it hasn't been invested badly. Don't think their looking for more money from teams. We have some good contacts in AUL but its a closed shop about this, no info until meeting Thurs nite. Wonder if some money is missing or if they want to invest some money in the Aviva stadium? Just some guesses, strange situation.
