Waterford Crystal won 4-3 on pens last weekend, 1-1 in the game. Does anybody know how Waterford Crystal are doing? I know they got to the final a number of years back but haven't heard anything about them since
i dont think anyone knows what the story is to be honest i heard stories that granville are straight into the last 16 cos both teams were kicked out

I can see what you are saying and agree with some of it, however the match you are referring to was Boro V Freebooters where the boro lost the game through one incident of indiscipline but mainly because of a lack of organisation and obvious to anyone watching no game plan. That and the fact that certain players only started to play when the boro drew level at 1 -1 was enough to see Freebooters through.
Farmer plays with heart - when he plays.
They have beaten Carrick three times this season I think (two cup games and once in the league) and are top of the Waterford Premier Division. They've lost once I think but not sure. They were lucky apparently against Carrick in the FAI Cup and seems have a good mix of younger and more experienced players. Hard to know though, the FAI Cup is a very strange competition - what makes it so interesting I suppose. They should be too strong for Granville.Originally Posted by The Gaffer

And what about Granville how are they doing?
FAI 5th rnd this sunday 2pm LIT
any views can Balla do it? and make it 5 limerick teams through
I think balla are a match for anyone on there day..I think it will be close ...hopefully Balla will scrape through...could take extra time i reckon though...
I think Ballas lack of pace in the centre of their defence will cost them on Sunday.
I spoke to Aidan Ryan recently & he is well aware that Balla are weak at centre half. Their main threats are set pieces & Skinner who isn't really in the Robbie Kelleher league even though he has scored a few goals this year.
It's got to be Michaels to progress for me.
Watch out for the odd red card aswell if things start to go pear shaped for Balla............the red mist could decend fairly rapid hahahaha!!!
why has this tie taken so long to play when michael's junior international centre half james walsh has been injured before christmas and couldnt play oscar traynor. seems like michaels have pulled a fast one here.
saint michaels are quietly confident of winning this won and theres alot of talk around tipp that this could be there year to win fai outright. Bennis in goal .they have best junior defender in country in walsh with other ex junior international paul tobin also in defence. brendan cronin who they signed from corks greenmount rangers is also doing very well this year in midfield.theyve also just signed Aaron Morooney from carrick the ex clonmel town and waterford united striker is one of best in junior soccer.Balla can beat the saints as they have been beaten twice already in tipp league this season by clonmel celtic and two-mile-borris FC,but saints are really gearing for this so balla will have to produce goods on sunday to get through
Balla win 2-1 with 2 goals in last minutes which both best described as controversial. Free kick awarded to them for the equaliser was a foul the other way and the penalty was a big decision deep into injury time. This would not have been given at the other end. The referee was not exactly a "homer" but I don't believe there was a Balla player booked which says enough as itself !!!
The wind spoiled it but Balla will have to improve to go further in this competition. That being said they are in the next round and that was what they set out to do.
Michaels being out means another top team(they were by far the better team today) are gone and opens up the draw even further!!
Word in the pitch , it was in perfect condition given the amount of rain that fell! Limerick teams march on!!!
Glad to see Balla through but I do not think Balla have a chance of winning the FAI this year. Nice for another Limerick team to be through but I feel Pike on their day would beat Balla comfortably & I would even go so far as to say that Carew Pk would beat Balla if their paths were to cross in the coming rounds of the FAI. It's wide open this year though.
Any View fans out there that can shed some light on the current rumour that Dermot Finnan could be on his way back at the end of the season please speak now!!!
Rumour has it he is showing no interest in his job at the Boro (who look a bad side this year) & with Derek feeling the pressure since going out of the FAI & also the league defeat at the hands of Pike (which leaves the destiny of the premier league very much in Pikes hands) there could some substance to the rumour.......
David Dunphy was booked along with the Michaels full back in the second half, The michaels Full back was sent off for disputing the Peno.
Any news on how Park did at the weekend?The league up here starts next week but the pitches are in a bad state.
Dont think Park had a game but not positive.
Poacher - I used be involved with the club but since the idiots have taken over the asylum I have taken a back seat. Tired of watching the "living dead" paddle in their pool of ignorance. Its a pity because that club was once the bench mark for every club in Limerick and now its nothing more than a retirement home. Jaws Ryan supplied the final nail in that coffin but the committee dealt the hammer blow while the players held the nail. Best of luck to the club, they will need it if things keep going the same direction. They will be struggling for a team next season. Jason O Connor, Robert Dalton, Alan Sheehan, Connor Lynch, will probably retire, Mark Houlihan, Brian Lawlor, Alan O'Keefe and Barry Conway will move on also. Shane Madden will go back to the View and like the start of this season the Boro will not be able to field a team. That from a Club that claims to be "a big club" my arse.
what makes you so sure that lawlor, o keeffe,conway and houlihan will move on? madden will be no loss in my opinion, nor will robbie dalton he just seems to be interested in arguing with referees and opposing players,jason o connor will be a massive loss as i think he is on of the best players around
Only two league matches on in town yesterday. Pike beat Summerville 6 - 0(If you are looking for comparisons Sligo1 - Park beat same team 1 - 0 last week!!) and Carew Park beat Hill Celtic 4 - 0 ...
All other matches were off ...
Will Pike and Balla be playing their last 32 matches next week does anybody know???
Balla are playing next week in castlebar...Pike game is fixed but Ballymun still have an appeal to be heard i think
I dont think that it is fair to make comparisons after all Park beat Pike this year already 2-1 so its all on the day
