Anyone any idea what the next round of games is? Looking for it on the FAI LOI site, the only fixture list I could find was for 2009.

well worth competing in for us!
We generally use the games before the season starts as warm up games, and then send out fringe teams for the remainder.
i enjoy the games to be honest

Me too, MSC is a great competition!
First game is usually right in the middle of pre-season as you say, and then you've only two more max, and the final might fall in the mid-season break as it did for us last year. You get to play teams you rarely, if ever, would, and it's nice to have a competition that not everyone else is in. Would love to see the CSC start up as was mentioned elsewhere.

Some big shocks on the cards with Salthill leading Derry 2-1 and Cockhill beating Galway 3-1. UCD reserves beating Longford 2-0

**Sam_Heggy** · 28/03/2011, 8:20 PM

Derry pull level

**Sam_Heggy** · 28/03/2011, 8:44 PM

Galway are out beaten easily 3-1 by Cockhill according to Extratime.
Unbelievable finish in Flancare Park. Longford came back from 2 down to level 2-2 in 90th min, UCD go up the other side straight away and score winner.
Drogs beat Bray 1-0, Limerick beat Kerry 1-0, Shels beat Carlow 4-0 and both Harps/Mervue and Derry/Salthill into extratime.

**culloty82** · 28/03/2011, 8:45 PM

KDL still scoreless with Limerick, presume ET and penalties apply as usual.

**Sam_Heggy** · 28/03/2011, 8:48 PM

Gaffney penalty puts Mervue in front

Nope, Chris Breen scored the winner for Limerick

**Longfordian** · 28/03/2011, 8:51 PM

Sounds like UCD's winner was probably offside. Damned big clubs getting all the decisions. Still giving them a two goal head start probably wasn't a good idea.

**paudie** · 28/03/2011, 8:52 PM

where are cockhill Celtic from?

I've never heard of them.

From Buncrana in Donegal. 2 ex-Harps players playing for them in Gerry Gill and Mark Moran. Former Harps, Derry and numerous other clubs player Donal O'Brien is their manager.

Thanks. I've heard of Buncrana Hearts all right.

sign of the times a few years back teams like cockhill would have never beaten even galways second string I know upsets happen from time to time but galway seem to have been well beaten, fair play to cockhill !
