Pre Season games

Have Dowling and Reilly definitely signed? I know Dowling came on but Reilly wasn't mentioned in the revised team sheet? Agreed with the comments above I thought we did well and look to be reaping the benefits of having a bit of stability for the first time in a few years. Conlon is a potential weak link though it has to be said. We're still waiting on a work permit for Rouse before he can play an official game for us, let's hope that comes through without any hitches.

Good performance last night and we never looked outclassed. While Conlon did miss kick a few times the pitch was very bobbly in fairness but even his kick outs were poor but we never seen Rouse tested so its hard to know whats going to happen between the sticks this season , The goal was quality Conlon hadn't a hope and yes it was a penalty Hylo clipped the strikers heels but we should have scored ,

was a bit disappointed with the roaches last night , Lee seemed to let the ball hit his head more than head it had he done that it might have gone in. I thought the back 4 looked solid last night and hope looks like a great signing and Deans is the perfect captain IMO.

With Skelly and Cowan still to come back hopefully we will be banging in the goals

2011 SEASON HERE WE COME!!!

I asked Graeme Dowling and Daniel Reilly that question when we were getting the photos taken with them for the match program and getting the penpictures. They confirmed to me that they have definitely signed for us.

Kevin Dawson wasnt bad the other night , gave away alot of fouls but he showed good heart I liked that.....any idea if hes signing?

Gonna be a competitive first division again this season, again I would take us finishing higher up the table than last season as progression, small steps and keep our house in order. One game at a time and here's hopin its an enjoyable season

It'll be hard to finish ahead of any of Monaghan, Cork, Shels, Waterford and probably Limerick. After that we should be able to compete with everyone else. So 6th or 7th would be a decent finish. Keep building the squad and running the club the right way.

yeah i'd take 6th or 7th anyway and sure who knows what we could do in the league or fai cup even giving the leinster one a go would be nice.

and well whats the story now that fingal hit the wall are mons gona go up or whats happening, i heard from one of the cork foras lads that drogheda applied for a premier license if they got it thats cat..

this is probably up in the premier/1st division topics but i can't be arsed reading that crap anymore

**Longfordian** · 14/02/2011, 12:00 PM

Pending appeals, Monaghan are up and Galway are in the A League. Drogs remain in the Premier too. So it appears to be a 10 team First Division now, whether we play each other three or four times remains to be seen. We got a Premier Division licence no bother so well done to those involved.

compeltely up the creek at the moment. dont forget monaghan for now are up? theres talk of havin a ten team league with each team playing each other four times instead of three so of course the fixture list would have to be shredded. the abbottstown ***** were fools in the first place to issue a fixture list too early?

**Town Legend** · 18/02/2011, 1:53 PM

Yeah was €5 in against Derry the last night.

**outspoken** · 19/02/2011, 8:24 AM

I know it was only a friendly but last nights win over pats is sure to fill the entire squad with confidence......it wasn't a great game due to the weather but I have to say we played well and just like vs Derry last week we looked more like the premier division team.

And we still have players like skelly to play so this could be a great season especially with the league the way it

is.......impressed with morley btw some player
