FAI Junior Cup 2005/06

[the only 1]

who won the coachford v carrigaline match?

[Dr Mad]

Right lads any Newtown boys there want to give us (Porto) a run-down of what to expect this weekend when we leave the Pale to travel down to lovely Kerry? We heard you were a strong side with a number of the Clare Oscar Traynor Squad in your team, and thought ye might have came through. No closing ranks against the Dubs now, spill!

[C.T.F.C]

Anyone got any info on Ballybofey United? Not looking forward to the journey.

well Dr Mad, we thought we were a strong side too but were very poor on the day & Killarney deserved the win. They have a nice enough set up but the pitch was very poor due to the conditions. Scrappy game 0-0 at half time. Killarney got a scrappy first goal & caught us on the break each time after that while we were chasing the game. They are a decent side that try to pass it. Keeper is good, defence is ok but a bit slow if you can turn them. Full backs push on. Lots of runners in midfield but dont like it when they are tackled, very decent player in the centre runs all day. Strikers are ok, hard working but nothing special. The danger comes from the overlapping wide men. I have to say their finishing was clinical. Decent side overall. Final note dont hold your breath for any major hospitality in the pub after.

[widow]

pike v balla tie of the round

[gazza2]

Tie of the round has to be:
Corrib Rangers(league leaders in Galway) vs Westport Utd(current holders)

[Bad Bob]

Waterford Crystal, lucky,lucky boys. Phew!!!! And they have a tough one coming up.

You need a bit of luck Thunderblaster if your going to win this competition. Tramore are a class team, reached the last 16 last season and would have been capable of winning the competition out!

It was an excellent result for Crystal albeit a bit fortunate

[tralee_dynamo]

dr mad. i don't think you have anything to worry about as killarney are an average team who beat a very poor newtown team on the day...i'd say 3 or 4 nil to porto....is dougie dolan,barry flynn and paul omeara still playing for porto and is stan still in goal

Tommy, Killarney were an average team up to last year but have improved this year and I reckon 3-4 nil to Portmarnock away from home is too kind of a prediction!

Obviously Portmarnock are favourites but Killarney will be good at home, and with a poor enough pitch, local support and a fired up team, they will put it up to porto!

Pike & Star to win

Have a look at clareleague.com.there is a report on it.Pitch is soggy even though it is sand based.We were crap and still nil all at half time.Dont think you should worry much.They work hard but dont have any outstanding players.Their red haired cfoward is busy but not that good

[Dr Mad]

Thanks for the feedback lads. we are expecting a tough tough game down in Killarney. Tommy the 4 lads you mentioned are all still involved and will play this weekend except for Austin the Keeper who is coming back from injury. His Deputy Mick "the Shroud" Dowd will be standing in (and then terrorising every Supermacs in a 10 mile radius).

Ballyheane play football good technical side and will be close game, home advantage i think just might swing it your way ...but it will close, well should be
