Any score from the Wanderers match?
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Heard UCC should have beaten the dale alright.Blarney should have hammered Cobh.They had at least 6 good early chances and 3 or 4 after the break.Cobh never really went to win by playing nearly 6 at the back and man marking in some place.Well organised.
wanderers were missing 5 first team players as well so by all accounts it was a great result for the wans, give credit to cobh as ye all seem to have written them off as no hopers

Donie Forde Cup Final
Rockmount 2-1 St Mary's (AET)
This final was billed as a cracker and it lived up to expectation in full. In horrible horrible conditions both sides played their part in a classic game that Mount won in Extra time thanks to a Ken Hoey special. The move for the winning goal was worthy of winning any final and was possible just about deserved in the end. Penos is no way to finish a final. At that stage most of the Mary's players wouldn't have been able to take their spotters anyway due to cramp. About six times play had to be stopped for their players to get attention, it just showed the amount of effort thier players had put into tonight and hat's off to them they ran themselves into the ground to a man.
Rockmount took the lead after two minutes when a cracking Willie Byrne corner was headed home by the Duracell like Aidan O Mahony. The lad went on to cover an incredible amount of ground for the next 120 mins. The game became a midfield battle from then til half time with Rockmount slightly shading things. Mary's dominated the second half with the assistance of the hurricane winds and made it count with about 25 mins left. Mark Power was by far the busiest of the keepers in this half, Dave the save in the other end was hardly troubled til 10 mins from time.
Rockmount reponded well and Buttsy had a great chance after coming on when he sped passed the defenders down the left and just fired over the top. Extra time was dominated by Rockmount and although the spotters were looming they lifted the energy again to score the winner. Ross o Callaghan beautifully glanced a header to Gearoid down the left and his smashing cross cleared the incoming Aidan O Mahony and was controlled at the back post by the imperious Hoey. He buried what proved to be the winner and another cup went back to the Whitechurch outfit's cabinet.
My toes are now back with me. Very enjoyable night.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.

For the very first time on this forum Cliffy I'd have to agree, I've been attending games at the Cross for over 25 years and last night is up there with the coldest & wettest i've ever seen.
Arrived 5 minutes late and didn't know Mount has scored til one of the Mount faithful behind me shouted "Come on Mount Number 2". First half was even enough despite Mount having the gale behind them, Marys dominated the 2nd half and deservedly equalised but once it went into ET they struggled badly with cramp and the superior fitness told in the end.
Given the shambles that is the Ramblers goalkeeping situation, I wouldn't be laughing.

Leeds 2 Ringmahon 1. Ringmahon missed penalty
was at this game also, my god it was cold. leeds just about shaded it for me, wasn't fully convinced it was a peno but was missed so didn't matter i suppose, ringmahon have improved 10 fold since the last time i saw them in fairness. still the same line though (dodgy )
Did not think it was a peno either.Leeds deserved it. Ringmahon never threatened. Got a lucky goal.
Blarney Utd. 2 Douglas Hall 0.
Goals scored after 3 minutes and with about 5 to go. Blarney took their chances. End of!!
