Best chance of the game fell to Newtowns Derek Byrnes who did everything right but the keeper made a fantastic save. The game stretched more in the second half with both teams having a fair amount of posession without creating anything clearcut. Lisselton got the opener after 65 mins, a speculative cross was dropped by the Newtown keeper and the Lisselton centre forward tapped into the empty net. Newtown pushed for the equalliser
and were awarded a corner in injury time. All the newtown team, including the keeper pushed up and Lisselton managed too scramble the ball away to break down field and score with the last kick. There was a twist at the end when an official from Kerry pointed out that Lisselton allegedly had an illegal
player. This is being investigated by the Munster council and we await the outcome.

papa-j...
not the first time this year skinny has cost newtown soft goals..
in fairness he has been playing well .. but still seems to make the odd howler .. nearly cost ye the last 2 fai home matches ..

would not be expecting munster council to rule in your favour the usuall bulls**t will probally happen brush it under the table ..

Not the first time they have done it. We were told that unless photographs of the illegal players we were wasting our time. By the way was there any hospitality laid on for ye after the game??

doesn't look promising. We've been told the onus is on us to prove the player is illegal. We can only do that by having access to Kerry league registration details. We enquired an were told basically to fcuk off. Not surprising considering that Lisselton hold some influencial positions within the the Kerry League. It all makes the whole scenario of correct registration of players a joke really and any club could probably get away with playing unsigned players if they chose. Not sure about the hospitality, considering the attiude of Lisselton towards our query ( which had guilty written all over it) we decided to arrange our own hospitality in a nice little hostelry elsewhere. In any case we have bigger fish to fry this Sunday and considering we have been written off elsewhere on this site all support is appreciated.

Hey Prem Rep, wouldn't Trevor Maxwell have been illegal,either you forgot or you are trying to catch us out.

salthill devon deserved win on the day .. they were more organised
very tight back line .. full backs excellent going forward.. and number 10 up front kept newtown defence busy all match..

newtown started well and chippy dunning had a good chance inside first 5 mins but could not finish... very tight first half not to many chances created by both sides .. salthill seemed content with playing it safe and trying to hit newtown on break..
second half salthill seemed to step up a gear & had newtown under a bit more pressure but again not to many chances created .. newtown struggled to keep hold of ball up front and as a result salthill pushed forward more & more as half wore on and were rewarded when their number broke a very soft tackle from 2 newtown players to cross a great ball to back post for salthill sub to head in unmarked.. newtown pushed forward now chasing game and were very unlucky when davy wall flicked on a near post corner from edge of six yard box .. which hit keeper and rebounded to safety ,, 2nd goal arrived in last few mins .. seemed a few newtown heads were down and a bit of sloppy play & passing gave ball away easy in midfield .. which was passed forward to salthill no 10 who beat offside trap to shoot pass skinny in newtown goal...

newtown probally did not do them selves justice with performance on the day.. jason streeton / noel donnelan / davy wall were 3 of their best players on the day.. even the famous fans on the line seemed to be a bit quiet on the day also..

Ya we just weren't good enough. Not enough experience in the Newtown team and as you said gave the ball to other team far to much. Don't think Salthill will win it out tough,they'll find that their next game against Carew will be harder as Carew will have a few hard/strong players. Back to the league now.

Davy has yet to make his mind up, whatever he decides he will have the full support Of Newtown F.C.,we would never stand in the way of a player who has an opportunity to play at a higher level.
