Bweeng got a walkover against them that was never meant to happen I think. Mistake by the AUL. At this stage they may not even want to bother playing. The AUL made a huge mess with this by the sounds of it.Originally Posted by Hacker

hard to believe how a club can win a cup and fold 2 weeks later
Congrats Shandon on winning Div 2, superb achievement to go unbeaten 2 seasons on the trot
Great achievemen by Shandon. Their players and management have been fantastic. Keep things going, add 3-4 players to the team and they will be one of the top favourites again in 1st Division next season.
They’ll win Div 1 with the squad they have, it’s weaker than Div 2. Only thing that could stop them is Knocka or Buttevant being dropped in there.
There's a very limited amount of teams you would say are strong across the divisions even at their level of division. 11 come to mind and that includes 3 division three sides who have been at top of theirs.
Standards across all of Cork soccer have dropped. Some senior teams leave a lot to be desired as well.
Big club, small club, whoever it may be, similar problems of commitment, interest, participation, pathways, etc., are there in a lot of clubs. Cork soccer was in a far stronger position 15 years ago. Remember the interest in Night Owls, 7 a sides, the cups, this forum, representative teams, transfers, rumours. It may never be of the same level of interest across all levels. I wonder has the introduction of LOI at underage played a part in Senior League drop off? Many give up after U19 now. As a result, "Junior players" are playing senior.
Banteer back in county cup v Bosco's on 6th
Winner semi final on 8th v Churchvilla
Final 10th
A bit tight on schedule.
Certainly an element of that is true about standard and interest.
But no matter the standard a well run club won’t allow what goes on with some teams happen within their club.
Firstly in well run club you won’t tolerate lads who are hot and cold with commitment.
Secondly you will ensure you have an adequate numbers of players to cover you for the majority of situations.
Thirdly you speak to your players and you have a plan for unavailability’s.
And finally and probably most importantly you keep adding to the panel players come and go for various reasons but you must replace them you won’t always be able to replace like with like but numbers are key.
Glad banteer are getting a shot in the cup. Harsh on boscos having to play a quarter final again tho.
Speaking of well run clubs congrats to grangevale on being announced as champions in premier A.
Great rise through the ranks. Were in Division 3 not so long ago. Would agree with earlier post - some strong teams in the lower divisions. Do Watergrasshill have much of a chance tomorrow night? Hard to see past Coachford.
Its only fair banteer get a shot to be honest. Dont think anyone would be-grudge them.
Think it would be better if the Bosco / Banteer game was played this weekend give the winning team a rest before the semi.
Congratulations to Grangevale AFC, great work going on there
Great credit due to Grangevale. They lost their ground but they didn't loose there identity. Moving to Mayfields astro was a master stroke. Kept them going an gave them a stable base an I have to commend the people in the background who kept that club going , should be a lesson to everyone on how to keep a club going. Congratulations to one and all.
1 nil to Watergrasshill Utd at half-time. They are down to 10 men for the second half, straight red for am off the ball incident.
2 nil. Huge shock. As good a division 3 team as I've seen I'd say.
2 all, Coachford have some bottle. What a team. Back from the dead.
Boher and banteer are down to play on the 8th aswell ! It's a farce
Some effort from Watergrasshill. Red card killed them, missed what happened but stupidity whatever it was. If they keep that group together they’ll get to the very top. Desmond up front is excellent.
