1st division league, Kilkishen A:2 - Mountshannon : 2. Potentially a good game but absolutely ruined by a dire refereeing performance. About the worst I've ever witnessed. Not favouring any particular side, just on a total power trip.
Tullycrine Celtic 0 - Bridge Celtic 8 (Only 70mins of game played as Bridge were 4 goals up after 25mins.)
Any other results?

Div1, Kilrush 1 - Olympic 1, fair result Kilrush went ahead just on half time with a great goal but Olympic pulled one back with only a minute or two gone in the second,
You must be havin a laugh sayin it was a good game. It was decided by a goal in the 1st minute and one can only say the Oly defence looked very Special indeed conceding what proved to be the winner.Originally Posted by hacker
Bunratty cannot be happy with the performance but I suppose their keeper had nothing to do for the 90 so a clean sheet is a welcome one. Specials though to their credit were always well in the game and had a lot of possesion without ever really threatening.
The long throws though were so easily defended throughout and one wonders why Oly persisted with them. Also why was Tricky taken off when he was the only attacking threat and a defensive player brought on. It kinda sealed the game for Bunratty when that change was made.
Anyway credit must go to Olympic for a good fight I suppose but my final word must be to the Olympic supporters on Rat Hill who kept us entertained for the 90.... Fair play to ye. Best of luck to the Specials B in their league too which I expect they wont be in for too long.
Specials A let 2 points slip in Kilrush yesterday too.... Is this the start of the yearly slippery slope for them????????
kilrush 1 S. Olympic 1. kilrush played out of their skins and fought for everything but olympic missing four first team players and another going off injured in the first ten minutes were a bit restricted. the scoreline did'nt reflect the scoreline since Olympic had numerous chances to finish kilrush off.
Kilrush vs Shannon Olympic A
Understrength Olympic side travelled to Kilrsuh yesterday morning, and came away with a point. Possesion about 60/40 in favour of the away side, but not too many clear cut chances in the game. kilrush scored just before half time after a defensive mix up, but still a great finish from the striker who shot from thirty yards and caught the olympic keeper off his line. In Kieran mccarthy's defence, he couldnt have been expecting a shot of that calibre.
In the second half Olympic stepped up the pressure with winger Rob Kinnane making some dazzling runs to the by-line. This pressure eventually paid off when Houlihan got on the end of one of Kinnanes crosses to equalise. The Kilrush keeper had a great game making good saves from Houlihan and Kelly, and in the end I think olympic will have been the most disappointed with the result
Always good to have supports get behind the team, as for the result in Kilrush i think the A team look at it as a point gained since they were behind at half time and came back to get a result , unlike the Rats A team last week in Tulla,
There was no points available last week in Tulla as is common in cup games... Bunratty A did however pick up 3 points away to Rineanna yesterday.
Poor old Sly, dont get mad i said a result not point's but thats ok,if you get the draw for the next round of the cup will you send it on.
Who is Sly
I'll send on the results and fixtures as soon as I get them. I hear there are games down for Good Friday. Kick off are 5.30. Bit of a disaster really as most people work Good Friday. Is the cup draw tonight??????
Who's the 4-4-2 lad slagging off Bunratty's loss to Tulla in the cup...maybe he should worry about his own game and stop costing his side valuable points in their quest for promotion to the big teams in the Premier.....I'm sure he would swap a costly cup run for a good stab at promotion. Keep the cheap shots to yourself in future.
Credit to ye I suppose for doing a professional job. The goal was a soft one and meant our task was made more difficult. I felt we bossed most of the game after that but we never got in behind so it was for nothing. As for the long throw, well it turned a game around for us a few weeks ago and they've been trying them ever since
On the balance of play ye were deserved winners however what I was most dissapointed about was a few of your players throwing themselves to the ground and calling for cards. You're 2 divisions above, did they not think they could win on their own merits? I'm not naieve enough to believe we don't do it ourselves at times but it was so constant yesterday that it seemed like a strategy.
Anyhow best of luck in the rest of the competition and maybe we'll meet again in the 2nd division next yearSorry couldn't resist.
Costly cup run it may be but you have to try win what ever compition you are in or go as far as you can anyway and for some clubs its the first round and out,you just have to get over it and move on.
I think the top four in the first Div will be Bridge Celtic,Tulla, Olympic A and Mountshannon with the first 3 going for 1st place
Some fair points there Leftie but not sure about us calling for cards all the time.Credit to ye I suppose for doing a professional job.

One of the funniest incidents of the game had to be Bullman's dive... My God that fella sure entertained us yesterday. He nearly halved our captain in 1 tackle (the Oscars comment was a classic from Rat Hill) and then goes diving when there is no-one near him. I've never heard a bloke to moan and give out so much during a game. He never stopped at the ref, the Rat players and sideline, and even his own players a lot of the time.
I'd have to question your judgement on some of those predictions having watched Mountshannon yesterday. They were bossed for large parts of the game by a team second from bottom and only scraped a draw with a last minute equaliser. Haven't seen Tulla yet this season but would have to agree with Bridge Celtic and Olympic being up there ... if they can maintain their current form.
That was some tackle alright. I was actually suprised that he didn't get a straight red. James is just passionate about his football i guess
Our following is certainly quite amusing too. Last week they were doing first goalscorer which made for some interesting comments.
big game for you on Thursday Oldspice, win that and it would not surprise me if you were in the top 3, plenty of quality in your squad.
Could very possibly be the start of it dj.To be fair Olympic were the better side but its about scoring goals.To be in the position olympic were in as regards the league table some players feel the need to hit the disco on saturday night.This just about sums it up-maybe these players are quiet happy to play in the first division year in year out
I heard those players involved were drinking orange juice and having a nice chat about current affairs and politics.......in any case, youre right and its not on! This kind of activitiy should not be repeated if we are to get promoted this season........
Ok good point but in fairness to kilkishen they are better than the position they are in at the moment and will stay up, i suppose Mountshannon will have to get a positive result on Paddy's day away to Olympic if they want to keep up with the teams at the top, in your view who would be the 4 pushing for the top 3
Looks like I am going to be right about the specials, one draw as predicted, another on Thursday then the implosion of the team, prediction Manager to be told to F off by the Mid April!!!! To many players who think they are Gods in the Clare league!
