its on in lit,
Went out to Aislings Astro Turf for a look and it is fantastic...Far better surface than Sean Choill, hopefully the game goes ahead there.
I think it has been switched to bateman thats a suprise have they used bateman all year
It's on in Bateman park.
bit of a susprise to be honest the way balla are playing they dont need to bring pike out there balla have been excellent since xmas and are more than capable of beaten pike on there day
Lads Balla v Pike is on in Bateman Park while Aisling v Wembley is on the grass pitch in Annacotty. Both games kick off at 2pm
"The theory of football is not just a study of how to win.Equally as important is how not to lose."
Back to the excuse for a Football Pitch that is Batman Park. Disgrace that this place is still being used...
It does show Balla's obvious fear of Pike..
I think this is a mistake by Balla. The players they have playing for them havent played in bateman for a long time. Some of the younger fellas have prob never played out there. I think this might suit Pike more anyway as a lot of the time Pike bypass midfield to the forwards. Expect a lot of long balls tomorrow, from both teams.
Pike to win it...
i thought when it got to the Qfinals of any national cups clubs are suppose to provide the following : secured changing rooms for officals and away team, bateman dont have this and balla havent used bateman since the start of the year why are they left use bateman when their is no dressing rooms,car parking etc alot of clubs down through the years had to use jackman or other clubs facilities cos they didnt have their own
Have to agree with you there Gaidin watched Pike out in Kilmallock in the F.A.I. and they are a very direct team.
It was only when the were down to 10 men that they started to play some good football.
Dont think bringing the the game to Bateman will make that much of a difference although im sure the crowd will be very compact.
you use whatever advantage you can but unfortunately i don't think the pitch will suit either team, don't think pike will have it all there own way and they won't be looking forward to playing in batemen, can't say i blame them either as not many teams would
Ya at this stage of the competition dressings rooms must be provided or the away team can object,so pike must have agreed to go to batemam and with the team they have and all that experince no venue should frighten them.But balla will be tough to beat should be a great game.Best of luck to our lads against aisling hopefully it will be a good game also.
There is one dressing room in bateman. Have a look on your right when you walk in the gate.

why didnt ye bring springfield down there last week? ye are lucky its pike ye are playing any other team would complain any way enough about this i go for 3-1 in pikes favourThere is one dressing room in bateman. Have a look on your right when you walk in the gate.
In todays quarter final Carrick Utd travel to Cork to take on College Corinthians who knocked out Clonmel in last round.
Any predictions? Given Carrick's run of injuries lately, I wonder how things are for today?
They should probably still prevail. I'll go for 2 nil.
