Well U-21 level has a huge turnover of players. Your best players make the step up and the average ones tend to move on. It's hard to achieve consistency. I haven't seen any games, but judging by the form we're not as sharp as last year. Pat's are closing in and Rovers have a few games in hand.

Top four go through this year.

We don't tend to win the division, but tend to win the league of late. So it's just the same as the last two years.

I thought it was top two only.

We should be grand in that case.

Lost 3-1 to Drogheda in cup tonight.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 03/09/2006, 9:30 PM

Bray 2-0 sh!te

Bóllox.

I think are drop in form has to be down to shipping Brophy out on loan and Finn been promted to the first team.

I think that leaves us 2 points behind Shels with a game in hand as Shels won all their games in hand.

**pineapple stu** · 17/09/2006, 9:00 PM

Bray drew 0-0 with Crumlin - updated table for that.

Edit - also found Shels beating Trnity 4-1 - updated table for that.

We drew 3-3 with Rovers today in a game moved to Belfield Park after the Postal Grounds were unplayable. I arrived half an hour late so I don't know what happened up to that point except that no goals were scored.

Rovers scored about 20 seconds before half time with a nice finish from a through ball, not unlike Conor Sammon's last night. We equalised about 5 minutes into the second half, Conan got a good header on a free kick in from the left. Rovers went ahead again about 10 minutes later after a decent save by the keeper landed to a Rovers player who just about managed to get the rebound past the keeper.

We equalised again with a similar goal to the first one: a shot took a slight deflection off a Rovers defender to send it centimetres wide of the post and Conan got another good header on the corner but Rovers defence didn't do too well at the near post. Rovers scored again almost straight from the kick-off and looked like they were going to hang on for the win.

Rovers had a man sent off for a second yellow which looked a little harsh. UCD didn't really make the extra man count but a good ball into the box in injury time led to yet another headed UCD goal, this time scored by number 17, whose name I don't know.

Playing Trinity at home tonight.

A win means they can't catch us. 10 points from our last four games means we're guaranteed third. It shouldn't even take that many as others will take points of each other, obviously. Three points tonight and we could well have one foot in the last 16.

**John83** · 27/09/2006, 10:14 AM

Man, Trinity suck. I can't recall the last time I saw such a handy win. Sure, I've seen bigger hammerings, but with more effort from the winners.

Eery atmosphere, with no more than 20 poeple in the ground (plus some punters watching from the balcony of a nearby flat).

Linesman was good craic though.
