We played two games against them last Sunday. One at the farm in Bishopstown where the City side won 7-0. Billy Dennehy, Dan Murray and a few others played in that game. The second game was in Blarney and was a much more even contest.
Our friendly with Finn Harps confirmed for Moyne Villa's ground in Headford http://galwayunitedfc.ie/finn-harps-...t-moyne-villa/
Waterford Utd 0-3 Shamrock Rovers... Three poor goals to concede from our point of view, first two were the goalkeeper errors and the third could of been prevented also. Good to have live football back.

Now I'm not one that takes pre season friendly results seriously, performance is key though.. but being hammered by athlone doesn't sit well with me
Athlone played fantastic. Purdy and Chindea look like they could be great signings.
Athlone Town AFC 1887-2017
He's very good technically. I suspect he's a bit moody though and that if things aren't going your way he won't drag you out of it. Never met the chap though so maybe I'm wrong.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I was there, Athlone were the better side in that game. We had a game the night before, a game at 11 and that game at 2:30 so we used a lot of trialists and fringe players in those games. It was the unknown players that really got shown up in that game in the Athlone game. Losing Billy and Darren Dennehy from the starting lineup also didn't help matters from our point of view either. But at least its another game under our belt.
Rovers 3 Shels 1.
Interesting match down in Ballinamallard tonight, despite the snow (see below).
We're lacking bite up front, but scored two nonetheless. Connor Thompson (from our youth squad) and Ryan Curran getting two well taken goals. Bar that though, neither keeper was massively tested. Some decent passing in the centre, and we kept the ball well enough. Elding was playing for Mallards too. Seems to have lost a bit of weight and is sharper for it.
I do think it's worth point out how baltic cold is was though (that's my breath in the second photo).
Those images are of Mallards 3G pitch. Right next to their usual pitch. The game was moved because the grass pitch was frozen.
Second time I've been down at their ground, and has to be asked, is there a better set-up in the country? For a small town/village in Fermanagh of 1,300 people, they've a nice grass pitch and accompanying stands, a 3G pitch right next to it, a lovely social club, and ample car parking. On the face of it, a fantastically run club.
Dundalk drew 1-1 in Warrenpoint last night. 3.5 months unbeaten run continues.
St Pats - Cabinteely FC on the 16th February. Will be interesting to see what sort of standard of side Cabo are
