True colours they are not, I would have said the same if Town or Two-Mile- Borris had a fixture, I read the fixtures on the TSDL website and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Peak down for a fixture. But I'm an avid fan of the TSDL progressing in the FAI and showing the rest of the country that the TSDL is a force to be reckoned with.
Didn't see the peak game the weekend, but as you mentioned any team that lets in few goals can't be that bad. As for the predictions, Kinsale to take it before penos 1-0. Crystal will come out of this tie 2-1. And for the Killester game, your looking at 4-1, Borris always good for a goal, if scott is on form.
Might travel to see the Killester and Borris game this weekend. Would like to see Killester play and see are they as good and people say.
Best of Luck to Town, Peak & Borris and hopefully they can all join Cahir in the last 32.
You laugh at me because I'm different,
I laugh at you because you're all the same........
It's very narrow minded by the men in charge of fixtures in the TSDL, surely somebody somewhere see the fixtures and notices that Town have youth players on the Junior Team that are playing the FAI game !!!! Maybe it's blinkers they have on![]()
Mind you I did notice on "The Star" yesterday that the FAI Game between Peak and Kinsale was fixed for Saturday, and on the TSDL website it's Sunday !! Anybody any confirmation on this ?![]()

Borris were outclassed 6-0 by Killester, they are a serious outift and one of the fittrst junior sides i've seen. twas 1-0 at half time but 3 goals in the first 5 minutes of the second half put any sign of a shock to bed. Just wondering what's the story with redser? saw him at the borris game even though Peake were playing down in cork
6-0 is some beating to give them they must be a serious outfit cause borris aint bad. clonmel and peake scrape through hopefully they will get home ties in next ground
Borris were without the injured Danny Graham and Ken Ryan was only a sub because he was also carrying an injury, however I wont take anything away from the Killester performance. Very impressive altogether, the movement off the ball was something else and they are a very disciplined team which could stand them in good steed in later rounds. There was not one dirty tackle on their part. Borris finished the game with 9 men, 1 sent off for a second bookable offence when it could have been a straight red and another sent off for deliberate handball
just got the end of the draw on 2fm this morning, cahir got a home draw i think to Newcastle West and so did Town to Janesboro, i'd say they will both fancy thier chances to progress. Any word on who Peake got or Celtic if they progress?

Clonmel V Janesboro this is going to be a close encounter I feel Clonmel will scrap through. Cahir V Newcastle West, another tough won to call could go either way. Any predictions?
clonmel will beat janesboro at home. not sure about cahir they are at home so should be slight favourates. think peake will beat the winners of celtic and grattan .
clonmel were beaten in munster senior by rockmount and in tipp cup by rock rovers but still are a very good team...
anyone at the peake- michaels game yesterday.. thought it was a good game both teams went for it.. an entertaining nil nil and i think result was just about right agree? disagree?
Yes Town are still a very good team. Bit surprised with the result yesterday against Rock, mind you going by last years game it was always going to be "entertaining" to say the least !!! Anybody down at that game ?
Wasn't at the Peake game, but looking at the league table, Peake could have done with 3 points from that fixture. But 3 points aren't easy to get in Cooke Park. Was Chalky Walsh back from injury ? How did Peake fair out with their team, do they still have a few injuries ?
You laugh at me because I'm different,
I laugh at you because you're all the same........
Yea chalky played first game in 3 months and dis well considering, same with ray mc mahon.. think peake were missing barry ryan and michael ryan not sure about anyone else.. as a saints supporter its a good and bad result.. bad cause 2 points dropped good because if saints beat peake they would be out of league but now peake still in it so they have something to play for when they play town.. catch 22 really... i tjhink rock played town on B team pitch which was a mud bath.. town had full squad out except aaron who is suspended.
peake lost eddie o brien who pulled his hamstring during the 1st half. peake had perhaps the better chances but in saying that there were no clearcut chances. very physical game with a lot of yellow cards.
What a leveler a dodgy pitch can be. Any of the lads that competed at the ploughing championships would have been proud. That being said it was the same for both sides and in fairness Rock outbattled Town yesterday. And amazingly for the first time ever there were NO red cards. Too many of the Town players seemed to think they were still on there Christmas holidays
The only real bone of contention was the refs failure to see Alan Coady blatently upended in the box when Town were 2-1 down. Ah well - swings and roundabouts. If they play like this against Janesboro next week then its adios to the FAI.
Peake were missing quite a few players through injury. Accordin to the tipp star David Duggan, Eoin O'Shea, John Lawlor, Mike Ryan, Barry Ryan and of course Eddie O'Brien were all out injured. But in fairness for a mid table side last year it has to be said they've come on a long way. May not content for much this season but i'd wonder about next year? For Munster Junior Cup Runners Up Michaels didnt really get much from them. Villa had by far the better chances even though Michaels had a full strenght squad if i'm not mistaking. Good to see Liam O'Dwyer back for Villa too. He didnt seem to let too much past him. It wasnt fair Tommy Lewis playing Villas B game at the same time as their A's while Michaels B's were allowed a morning game. Shouldnt 3 officials have been appointed for such an important clash.
To be fair peake are a good side but i watched them against kinale down in cork and they struggled to be honest,i know they were missing a few but half the kinsale team left when the managers peter jones and ger foran left for other clubs when the season finished last season{bandon,msl and innishvilla aul respectively} so they wer'nt as strong as they used to be in previous seasons.Peake scored with the last kick of the game purely because kinsale didnt concentrate,and then penalties are a lottery as you'd well accept.Grattan are another story altogether,they lost only one league game the whole of last season,the last game of the season when the league was won at that stage by 12 points and havent lost a game this year in the league.they have played 14 cup games,fai,mjc,aoh and mossie linnane and havent been beaten over 90 ,or 120 mins in any competion,there only defeat this season was on penalties after extra time against Ballypheane Celtic,and that finished 5.4 on penalties to Ballypheane after Grattan had been 2 up after 20 mins,in fairness Ballypheane never stopped tryin and Grattans worst habbit is showboatin when they think a game is wonso it was grattan ' own fault but it turned out to be the kick up the arse that grattan have been needin for a while by all accounts,its widley regarded amoungst the aul that grattan have the best bunch of actual footballers seen for a long while in cork,so much so they have 6 on the oscar trayonr squad,5 on the first team,and theres a rumor that gerry smith has his eye on 2 or 3 for an junior call up,pa connors is wanted by city and cobh and is probably the most talented player to come out of knocknaheeney since patsy frayne, even patsy admits that,he wants him to for castleview,there back line is big and strong,midfield can be frighening at times because of there workrate and size and there is not a better front 2 pairing than jp o sullivan and john kelleher in the aul or msl,34 goals between them in all competions,so it would'nt be the wise'st thing to write them off easily...
i would like to know when are michaels v clonmel match going to play each other this season?? in a 16 match league its a bit irish that they havn,t played yet at this strage of the season.
