Bohs won 4-1 V UCD in the Leinster Senior Cup. Could've scored a couple more as they missed a penalty and Clarke put one over the bar from the centre of the box. Good result against a team with some recognisable names in UCD. I do worry that we haven't seen Whelan line out yet but hopefully it's a case of managing his workload in preseason so he's ready for the first game.
Cobh Ramblers 1 v Irish Defence Forces 0
3-3 between Pat's and Athlone this evening. A hat-trick for Brandon Kavanagh with each goal getting pegged back by Athlone varying from a penalty to apparently becoming possessed by Pep's Barcelona for their opener.
A particularly worryingly bad looking injury for Forrester in the dying moments of the game unfortunately. Hopefully not as bad as it appears.
Kerry 2-3 Treaty United
2-2 against Galway in Westport today. Cian Kavanagh with both for us and Sean Kerrigan (liams brother) and Stephen Walsh for Galway. We won a pretty pointless shootout.
Thank God he is gone Derry City anyway, listening to the Derry commentators saying his name was like watching a cow trying to birth a sideways calf, its phonetically unrenderable for me but it was something like Kuhyean Kuhyaveinaw.
Kerry are taking on Shamrock Rovers on Saturday in a pre-season friendly. "Dublin venue" is mentioned. Is that likely to be Rovers academy ground?

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
At least Garrett Kelleher put his hand in his pocket for Pats' pre season trip to Spain, Galway seem to have milked it off a hospital

It finished 1-1 against Vancouver in Marbella. We scored in the first half with a lovely cross from Axel sjoberg to Aidan Kenna. We gave away a peno in the 90th minute. We have another game against Molde the weekend.
Galway beat Spanish 4th tier side Juventud Torremolinos 3-0 in Spain today

It was a decent watch for a friendly I thought. The technical quality on display from both teams was absolute lightyears ahead of what’s been seen so far in the games against Inchicore, Bray and Athlone, although that’s probably to be expected with increased match sharpness in the pats team as the minutes have gone up, as well as playing a side with the likes of ex Sporting Lisbon Ryan Gauld and ex Southampton Stuart Armstrong in their team, on a pristine pitch in Spanish weather. Makes some change to playing an LSL side on a glorified bog of a surface the weekend before last! There’s genuinely a benefit to both in terms of getting ready for the season though, good to have a mix of standard/style of opponents and pitches

Derry beat Institute 5-0 last night.
Enjoyable game, even if Stute were poor. Duffy had a couple of goals, and Benson looked very sharp.
Ballymena up next on Friday.
