Cork AUL 2023/24

So far it�s looking like every team can be beaten on a given day, which makes for an exciting season. Maybe watergrasshill will be an exception.

Took in a couple games over the weekend, Friday night Villge were beaten by Douglas hall juniors in the Fai, Village looked the classier outfit in the first half and should have been ahead at the break only for a silly penalty conceded against the run of play, they tired badly in the second half. Adam Gurta is a brilliant player centre half for them
Glenthorn made very hard work of their tie against Carrigtohil, 4-1 up cruising with 20 to go but complacency and some very lax defending meant they had to dig deep, in truth they could have been 7 or 8 up but were lucky not to be taken to extra time in the end winning 4-3, their first win of the season so hopefully they can kick on, Pa Long and Adam Lee for them are super players
Grangevale got past a strong Riverstown side Sunday as well 1-0, they are a menace on the counter, excellent start to the season by them a welcome addition to the premier division

any other games taken in over the weekend?

Also the MJL and AUL seem to be a bit closer than in recent years, I always felt the AUL sides were always a decent bit above them but with a lot of the games being very close it seems the MJL has become a bit stronger

**Jason Bourne** · 25/09/2023, 9:51 PM

The MSL junior has improved but it's a fact the Aul has declinded badly from the days of Kinsale , Grattan , Leeside Wilton an Park slugging it out.

That was a different time when any of them could win the league and any of them would give any MSL senior side a good game .

Different time now so it's hard to compare .

But least there's a bit of competition across an ever decreasing selection.

Fair dues.

Agree with you there think Watergrasshill will go unbeaten in league but team I think will upset a lot of teams is Castleview playing well and having luxury of players dropping down from Msl team will be a big advantage for um and luxury for manager but one thing I haven�t agree with over the years players playing Aul one week senior league next week and back aul again I see that�s happening with castleview and the moment it should really be you either play Aul or Senior league think it will be factor as season goes on with players they be able to call on but that�s the luxury I guess of having two teams.

oh it has 100% declined since those days there�s no disputing that, but even 5 years ago when I played I was Glenthorn we were lucky to avoid relegation that year and had Everton in the FAI, they were in the middle of winning it 3 years in a row or something like that and we battered them 6-1, there was a noticeable gap then, and I don�t think the AUL has regressed too much in the last few seasons from what I can see, a few teams went senior but the likes of Grangevale and UCC coming up and the competition in premier A looks like the league is after steadying a bit in quality, Apart from Park and at the time Killereen none of the sides that went senior were too impressive before hand

Shandon will have something to say about that. Wouldn�t be writing them off. Watergrasshill without their star striker for the next while afaik. Unsure why but I see he�s playing hurling with Imokilly so that�s probably it.

**Harsh ref** · 26/09/2023, 12:53 PM

That be great to marks a good football man be nice to see shandon putting it up to them

That�s a massive advantage alright. What�s the official rule around that do ya know?

**Hacker** · 27/09/2023, 11:22 AM

They have been doing it for donkeys years.

My understanding is that you can only register with one league ie AUL or MSL.

If the AUL adopt the FAI app next season you would think this would help clamp down on this sort of thing

Other teams up around the top of Premier A should be asking questions if I it's not permitted under the rules

**Harsh ref** · 27/09/2023, 11:22 AM

Not certain latte few years back once you played 5 games up senior you had to stay I�m sure was the rule but don�t know now but really think you should only be able to play Msl or Aul with it being different leagues but it�s great for teams that can have the luxury of doing that.

**Chips and beans** · 27/09/2023, 8:43 PM

Another big game for castleview Friday night, if cian white turns up again they will be hard to stop

**Harsh ref** · 28/09/2023, 8:34 AM

Why chips is he shocking for turning up

**The Goldfish** · 28/09/2023, 8:58 AM

Heard the same about castleview players dropping down to play AUL for a game here and there and going back up senior again surley with them in 2 different leagues you should need to transfer or are the AUL gonna turn a blind eye again like what they are after doing with cathedral celtic by playing a player thats suspended for 6 months and knew he was suspended but said nothing and another player in qustion played and he was on system with no club and again the AUL knew this but decided not to act on it.

As far as I know there was no blind eye turned. Apparently Cathedral got called to a meeting with The AUL last night so I'd say there could be something soon on that.

**Harsh ref** · 29/09/2023, 8:19 AM

Lad working with me plays for um said they might be in trouble FOMC they played lad that�s suspended till January in all the games wonder will many games go ahead this week over weather.

So there found out now and the cheated ..taken 3 points from knocknaheeny celtic and apparently knocka don't get the points our a game back ..don't know who the real cheaters are dose it not say if a team cheats our plays players that shouldn't be playing..automatically other team should get points that's what I thought but apparently not knocknaheeny celtic down a game and 3 points from other side cheated aul is another level

**Jason Bourne** · 30/09/2023, 1:05 PM

If your going to make accusations at least know the rules .

Read the Aul rule book first an understand the rules for appeal and then understand what the Aul are allowed to do. Its in black an white .

Some of its actually in red.

It's no wonder they shut this thread down with the nonsense posted.

It's supposed to be about actual football in the Aul.

Back on subject, a complete washout today ,,,,,,anything on astro tomorrow
