Cherry Orchard 1 (G Curran), Belgrove 1 (P Ryan)
Midleton were going ok for the first twenty then gave away 2 goals in 5 the space of 5mins and then had a player sent off for 2 yellows so it was a uphill struggle from there. Fair play to avondale and youghal good results there lets hope they can finish off the job in the replay
Great result for Avondale - fair play to them - never an easy task to travel to Dublin and return with a win. Youghal also deserve great credit and Midleton were always going to be up against it v. Crumlin. Great to see the Cork flag still flying in the Int. Cup

well done to avondale fantastic result, looks like my earlier prediction for them to win the cup is still on track,come on the dale!! as for youghal outstanding, hopefully they will get a good crowd next sunday for replay and a result, midleton met a team far superior on the day, crumlin were by far the better team and bossed it through out! sending off really had nothing to do with the result but i have to question the referee decision for both yellow cards, first one 5 mins gone,he books the player for tapping the ball to crumlins left back, 15mins later books him for a shirt pull in crumlin half of pitch!! i was watching the match from behind the crumlin dugout and they were in as much shock as anyone, ruined the game from the spectators point of you!! comical near the end when crumlin player got booked for following through with his shot after a late offside!! how much have the msl racked up in fines for those yellow cards, times must be tough!!! must say though was impressed with midleton's fighting spirit came out second half with heads up and gave it a right go, could of easily dropped and used the excuse of bad ref's decisions and lost by more! oh.. the comment the ref made for the second yellow( i have to, i'm being accessed) if that was the case most games would end up 7vs 7!!
Avondale drawn away to Crumlin in the semi final
When is that due to be played? What about youghal?Originally Posted by razor
Belgrove/Cherry Orchard v Youghal/Sacred Heart is other one, April 10th
Would have made a great final
2 away draws will be tough but the way Avondale played on Sunday they'll fear no one and want revenge for last year. If Avondale win their semi then the final will be in Cork.
Think Avondale have proved themselves the wounded beast in The intermediate cup this year. Much was talked about their anticipated demise after Caulfield left, but they have shown once again they are still on of the top amateur teams in Ireland.
I think they will get a gud result in Crimlin and fancy them to win it outright. Would love a belgrove/Avondale final in Cork, Belgrove obviously a strong team after their destruction of Douglas hall!
Avondale had a great result but still a long long way from winning it. Crumlin are going for 3 in a row (I think) and easily disposed of Midleton so would not say Avondale will be even favourites here. Also, with belgrove easily knocking out D.Hall it would be hard to see beyond them too (if they get passed cherry orchard). As for the league I think it will be a two horse race between D.Hall and Rockmount and I think it will go down to last few games. D.Hall have the PERFECT fixture next with Tramore just to steady the ship, it would have been interesting if they had a trickier tie. Douglas Hall will probably win it still as they have showed how good they are and I know that they are very confident up there. The league top and bottom is heating up nicely. I know a few were not admirers of J.Caulfield but winning the Collingwood was a great achievement for him and if they stay up will be a good job done, should he bring UCC down though would have to be considered a miserable season. Tramore are gone for me but who goes with them will be very interesting.............the students might have to put away the books for a while and get ready for a battle with Mayfield & Marys.
crumlin to win intermediate cup , they are top draw side. Will take a very good team to beat them.
Maybe they haven't played a very good side yet!!!!!! (joking, relax).
Youghal 1-2 Sacred Heart
Also heard that Cherry Orchard beat Belgrove in the other game.

BEST OF LUCK to Avondale on Sunday. Heard over the weekend that Avondale were drawn away from home in every round of the cup (obviously except replay to College Corinthians) - must be a good luck thing at this stage!!! Heard from Midleton that Crumlin should win comfortably, best team in Ireland. Avondale on their day can mix it with anyone I think. They are very physical this year too. It would be an unbelievable feat if they won it outright without any home draw!
Would also like to give the best of luck to Avondale. The stat about being drawn away in every round is unreal, fantastic achievement if they were to continue this away form and beat crumlin on their own patch. Great team and hope they can do Cork proud up in Dublin!!!!
