It was the end of the season and torrential rain right at the start of the game made the pitch cut up, players sliding all over the place. So what do they do at half-time? They have underage matches in each half.

The Irish Institute of Sports Surfaces

Two questions:

1 Who are they?
2 Why aren't they getting more government funding? they clearly deserve it.

Well I have been in all 3 grounds this season and while the Shiwgrounds was near emaculate it did cut up a bit more than turners and Rovers won it last year so let's spread it around.

The pitch was immaculate because it was emaculated.
