My point being that even at youths ye got a fella to sign 30 players from surronding area's(fair play) but these would have no alligance to Bunratty,when they get fed up they will move on

bunratty never had 30 players signed for a youth team...where did you get that from??

deffo closer to 30 than 20 fact,ask the manager DR

Anyone know when the third round draw will be made?

**MadMick** · 08/03/2005, 5:08 PM

I believe the draw will be made on Monday next!! Only 7 Premier teams to be included if the ones playing Sunday wins, that means 9 teams from the other 3 Divisions at least and 2 of the Favourites Lifford Oldtown and Bunratty gone, hope for us all to get to Doora for at least the Semis.

Some great league games coming up
Sunday
Kilkishen v Mountshannon Kilkishen need to win or could be relegation material
Tip away win
Rock Rovers v Tulla Again Rock will be hoping to win as they have more games played, tip away win
Kilrush v Olympic Kilrush need to win or will be doomed, drew with Olympic already, tip draw

Paddy's Day
Kilkishen v Corofin again Kilkishen will need to win to give their season a lift, Corofin will be on high after beating Bridge Celtic, tip away win
Tulla v Bunratty too one sided, tip home win
Rock V Bridge Celtic Bridge looking to bounce back, best team in the league by a country mile, tip away win
Olympic v Mountshannon, must be game of the day, Mountshannon on a great run away from home, tip draw
kilmaley v Kilrush Kilmaley on a roll, tip home win

probably a few disagreements but this is my view!!!!

on the injury front we should definately have our centre half and centre midfielder back from the flu..and of course collie should start up front.....great player when he wants to be...

Good chance for Tricky to turn his old club over. He seems to be enjoying his spell at the Specials...

Rats B would be strong in central midfield but again depends on availability due to Gaa. Our best player trains the Offaly gaelic football team and was there for the wins vs Rock and Kilkishen but missed the losses to Mntshn and Kilmaley... That says how important he is to us. He wont be there Sunday either.

Typical clever/funny question from Opengoal!!!!!!!!!

I'll put it this way. There will be SHOWERS and changing rooms available to BOTH teams. You can work it out from that where its on.

Maybe I'll have to get friendly with the Connor's and the McDonagh families to avail of these corporate boxes

We could be looking at spot kicks to decide who goes through to the last 16.

Thought the "Mighty Bunratty B" would be more confident considering all ye're talk before on this thread...................predciting a draw on sunday, does that make ye equally "Special" or less than "Special", considering ye are at home????

I see you are still very touchy about your club being referred to as "Special Olympic". Relax a bit....its only a figure of speech. You dont need to keep harping on about it.

I'm basing my opinion on the form of the 2 teams in question. Rats B have only won 2 games in all competitions this season and Specials B have only lost 2 league and 1 Munster Junior....

The way things are going we could have Rats B and Specials B in the same division next season. For that reason I think it will be a close game!!!!!

All they were promised was the oppurtunity to play youths football....

Something which Newtown, Park, Shn Tn, Special Oly and Rineanna cannot offer...

They got a set of gear sponsored and may get more depending on performance.

Dolan, are you serious? There are no youth teams in shannon at the moment?? If this is true it is a disgrace.......when i was playing youths(newtown) we had enough players for 2 teams. Park and shannon town also had strong teams. What has happened to all the kids?

Fcukin Skateboards!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish it was just skateboards,the problem is getting people involved,as you know the rules state that you need two people to look after underage teams and also the fact that kids now are a lot more advanced(cheeky) now than they were,ex players rarley get involved now and playing golf seems to be their only interest when they retire.The kids are out there but nobody except the rats are providing the people or the interest.

No problem for them training with the GAA!!! Until the people running the soccer clubs stop using the GAA as an excuse not to do things then Soccer will never move on in this County and we will always be looking at Park with envious eyes, no wonder Newtown wish to merge, talking of which has anyone actually heard the new name they are going to use!!

**OpenGoal** · 10/03/2005, 8:32 AM

Is it just the youths that are gone missing, or is it all schoolboy teams? If this is the case, its very serious, if no players are coming through then in a few years Park Rangers wish will come through after all...............one club in Shannon
