Is this another fib from The Self Named Chiefscout !!! Not a bad game of ball by 2 under strenght teams just trying to get the season kicked off. 6 well; taken goals. A lot of young talent on show. As I have said before on this forum... Give credit where its due. Best of luck to all for forthcoming season.

Pre-season game: Crosshaven 1 College Corinthians 2 - Crosshaven 1 up for 70 minutes before Corinthians stepped up a gear as Crosshaven visibly tired.

Probably have no team - I heard that last season was gonna be there last & was surprised to see there names down for the League to be honest. They have been firefighting up there for the past three seasons.

Heard Ballinhassig are after pulling out of Keane Cup??? can anyone shed some light on the situation if so true??? Wouldnt think the Hall would be too worried about who they lost, apparently beat Cork City in a friendly, quite impressively...Think Mark Murphy will be a big loss, other players won't make much of a difference, Bruton and drennan were only fringe players really!! Were you at the crosshaven/corinthians match ballsac??? Were crosshaven good, because going by last seasons teams, Corinthians would have crushed them!!

i was told monday that they were having a big meeting monday night about pulling out there senior team,i didn't hear the out come of that meeting.casement are gone ballinhassig and garyduff could be going,won't the 2nd division be a joke with only 6 or 7 teams in it,i think it should go back to 2 divisions and have 12 or 13 in each division,18 games isn't enough league games in my opinion

**ringmahon4ever** · 23/08/2011, 9:09 PM

heard ballinhassig gone all right.suppossably there was new manager brought in and promised by board that there was team and players there etc.first ew training sessions and all they were getting was 4 or 5. he walkked so now theres nothing happening there.

**ringmahon4ever** · 23/08/2011, 9:10 PM

mr money bags pratt must be broke so hence garyduff are gone

**The 'View** · 24/08/2011, 12:05 AM

Jesus lads if all above is true, isn't it time the leagues looked really hard at whats happening. AUL is the same they've lost a lot of teams this year as well. Is it lack of interest or too costly for people to play?

Sad, maybe they've gone to the Shipping League? They've added 6 extra teams and are gone back to 3 divisions.

I totally agree with Mayfield, not enough league games in 18. Perhaps we should have less Cups KEANE, BEAMISH, DONIE FORDE, MUNSTER SENIOR, INTERMEDIATE............could we afford to drop one and increase the league games. We are lucky to have a brilliant and competitive league so why not have more emphasis on it. Good luck to all Clubs because I feel this year it finally has proper MSL PREMIER CLUBS with the right traditions and attitudes. Good to be back this weekend with action. Cant wait to hear the results coming in. Perhaps we should all make an effort to get the results up asap. All the GOSSIP is over, its now football time!!!!!!!!!!!

Well casement and ballinhassig pulling out will really affect the 1st division, but have found out that ballinhassig have only pulled out of keane cup, they still will (hopefully) participate in the 1st division!! Thinks having 2 divisions is a bit drastic as of yet, but if this trend continues, the MSL will have no other option really! Delighted to see garryduff gone, no heart or commitment in that so called 'club' at all. Can't wait for action to resume this weekend, should be some good keane cup games on show, giving us an early indication of how teams are ready for the new season!!

Reg Forms sent in yesterday, tough going but got our three squads sorted Sad to hear clubs are in difficulty. I comprehend what they are going through though. Don't know how we ll do in collecting memberships, ref money and expect lads to drive to away games all season without recompense.

Can't wait for Sun morn. What are Glasheen like? We ve added Mick Devine, Tim Kiely and Gavin Quirke to our squad, but lost slatts, Alan McCormack and Darren Cody.

Is that Timmy Kiely ex Cork City ??

**The 'View** · 25/08/2011, 2:00 PM

Just been told our game versus Lakewood Sun morning is off. They've pulled out of the Keane Cup. Things are getting ridiculous now with the amount of teams gone or almost gone.

No doubt the lad is quality but the last time he togged out for City he looked seriously out of shape.

We're no Cork City though. Touch and vision should help us out a lot and we know it'll be 4/5 matches til we're up to speed with him. Real nice lad who just want's to play ball tbf.
