RESULT

KUFC 5-0 ST Brendans Park

KUFC strolled thru this game against a gallant ST Brendans Park team who were justsimply outclassed on the day.KUFC had all 17 1st teamers fit on the day whereas ST Brendans looked to have a threadbare squad(2 suspended from last week) and were always struggling.
Onto the quarters for KUFC now as we await the draw from M15.

A super win also for Sheriff YC with 10 men against Carrick,they look unbeatable on the all weather pitch in Clontarf

Sheriff well worth their win, Carrick very disapointing but took and early lead. Sheriff scored almost straight away a corner headed to the edge of the area was chested down and volleyed to the top corner. Sheriff went 2-1 up about 20 mins in, long ball caught our defence out and Sheriff converted the one on one. Carrick had 2 decent chances before half time which if taken might have a changed the final score. Sheriff had a man sent off just before half time for pushing a Carrick player to the ground. Sheriff weathered 10 mins of Carrick pressure at the start of the second half playing 3-5-1. After which they reverted to 3-4-2 very brave in fairness but got their rewards with a great team goal. From here on in they put on a masterclass of defending and ball play. They went 4-1 with 10 to go from a header from a corner where Adrian Walsh felt he was impeded coming from the cross. They scored a last min penalty catching Carrick on the break. Both teams had a man sent off late on, both justifiable probably an hour too late for the Sheriff number 4 who scamped for the 90 mins. The game was ill tempered and let a sour taste in the mouth. Sheriff are unbelievable team but should learn to win with a little more modesty not the NBA type slegding and showboating at opponents and fans.
Also no team should be allowed play on astro turf just my opinion but possibly a discussion for another day.

depending on the draw,and the refs report,the sendings off could prove costly for sheriff in the next round.
whatever about getting sent off at 2-1 up,having a man sent off at 5-1 up late in the game makes no sense.
silly,and potentially costly,thing to do.
i would say the manager of sheriff would not be pleased with that

**KUFCMan** · 19/02/2013, 8:06 AM

I think it was Sheriffs centre half who was sent off in the 1st half.Then the other player sent off was his replacement,so theyre.missing 2 defenders for 1/4 final.

there you go

**Hoopy1888** · 19/02/2013, 9:07 AM

It was the Midfield Fella ( #8 ) who got sent off in the first half . Reacted to a Carrick Lad Putting it up to him .

No team should have an advantage especially in a national or provincial competition, whether it is f.a.i. approved or not.
The f.a.i. should bring in a rule that all junior cup games be played on grass as 99% of clubs have only this option.
Maybe astro turf is the future of soccer but it is false and makes average players look half decent, it will kill the game as a spectacle in the end.

**cufc champions** · 19/02/2013, 12:30 PM

KUFCman im fairly sure their no. 8 and their No. 4 were dismissed. There was confusion for the first sending off as the ref had sent their 9 but the linesman corrected him and 8 went off. .

To the best of my knowledge Pike played Sherriff in the AUL Complex,but that was a semi final,don't Aishling play all their games on Astro and don't hear too many complaining,and numerous other clubs around the country play on them,there's pros and cons.Balla would have lost home advantage if they didn't play on it Sunday.

Fully agree with above and the other sentiments regarding astro turf. I have seen several games on this surface and the game is totally different. Just watch how high a ball bounces off astro compared to grass. That alone takes getting used to. National and provincial junior competitions should only be played on grass. A talented team like sherriff Utd, playing regularly on it, have a tremendous advantage. Having said that, cannot see it changed. If somebody put in a motion against it and it was carried wouldn't EUFA rules surpass such a decision? Like it or not I think it is here to stay.
