Pre-season 2021

UCD 2-1 Longford today. Rob Manley for Longford; Paul Doyle and Liam Kerrigan for UCD.

About five months too late, but I guess we'll take it.

Watched the last fifteen minutes or so. UCD look like they'll be competitive this year, played their usual nice style of football.

Is there only certain dates allotted for pre season games or was today just the first day back everyone was allowed play ? A lot of games on.

Yeah it was the first day clubs were allowed to play games by the government

Derry 5-1 Harps, Derry keeper scored from his own box

**sbgawa** · 23/02/2021, 9:51 PM

Thats a surprising result i felt Harps would be good this season based on how they finished last season.
Was it a proper match ....if you know what i mean

**Bucket** · 23/02/2021, 10:18 PM

Harps played in Galway on Sunday too so maybe that affected them.

**MattB11** · 23/02/2021, 10:39 PM

Wouldn't read too much into it Harps team was made up mostly of young lads and trialists, Derry had been originally scheduled to play Dundalk tonight who pulled out due to injuries

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 23/02/2021, 10:47 PM

We beat Athlone 3-0

Harps always have rubbish results pre season...I usually be in a state of panic before the season begins so I wouldn't be too worried

**nigel-harps1954** · 24/02/2021, 10:28 PM

We were hammered by Derry last season in pre-season in the Brandywell too. Generally think nothing of it. Don't remember us having a particularly good pre-season under Ollie in 5 or 6 years now.

Agreed! St Pats win every preseason...

I'd love for someone to do a study on the relationship between preseason results and league performance worldwide. I reckon it's almost a cert it would find a big correlation between good preseason results and underperformance in the league. I think I remember Stephen Kenny's Rovers side looking like Guardiola's Barcelona in preseason, and Man Utd have looked world class in most of the preseasons since Ferguson.
