This isn't the Pats forum. and you missed one anyway: 'Good kick about for the lads despite the 9-0 result'.

I won't be going, for one thing I don't live in Cork so a midweek game doesn't suit, but I wouldn't fork out the 13 quid regardless.

But I've no problem with the game in principle; better than playing Cobh Ramblers in a friendly, even if it makes no money.

Cheers, I saw that on website - was just be a little scarcastic - as the fact he was organising this 'phanthom phriendly' was to bring a little mula to the club in the absence of St£ being forked out. What a jester he was! Shrewd business move by the committee!

Turns out his name is Sean Reilly. Was playing with a team in America called Lansdowne Bhoys. His father is from Derry, mother from Mayo. Makes sense now. Was on trial with Sligo/UCD/Derry previously. Blistering pace supposedly.

That was my third guess.

edit: it might be worth taking a look at right corner back Craig Purcell too, though it sounds like their full forward line isn't up to much: http://www.irishcentral.com/sport/La...169153886.html

Funny the manager of the team is one Austin Friel, who played for Harps in 2004. One of the worst signings I've ever seen in my time supporting Harps.

I wasn't actually replying to you, just posting the list of fixtures.
