Is this supposed to be ironic considering the events on Monday?

...and Ashtownvilla were a merger of Ashtown and Villa Park under Tony O'Connell, so it's Kinvara Boys, Ards, Ashtown, Villa Park combined now known as Phoenix.

Some rising from the ashes there!

Oh that would make me laugh until I died and then would laugh all the way to Heaven.

Was delighted when heard we got Derry coz have never made it to the Brandywell & have always wanted to! Derry & Kerry are the only 2 counties my kids have not been in too so now they will be able to check Derry off their list. Am looking forward to the amazing Derry athmosphere. Deadly fans who will make us realise what we miss out on week to week in the 1st division.

Bring it on!

Must be the fastest canonisation ever as Muckno goes from non-existance to beatification in the space of one evening.

St. Muckno's: are they any good? **** knows!

Does anyone have much information about them? I'm a bit sceptical about thinking it'll be plain sailing.

**Magicme** · 01/06/2007, 8:38 AM

Oh St Muckno's are from Castleblayney! Well less of the saint really but Muckno is a Park in Blayney.

Phoenix are managed by Harry Kenny (ex Rovers full back) and captained by his brother Marc Kenny (ex Rovers, Dublin City, Bangor and a few others). Another brother is on the committee. They have just won promotion to the TOp division of LSL.

Celbridge Town, from the 4th Division of LSL, have also just won promotion. They have a squad of all local lads who have come through their schoolboy section. They caused a shock when they knocked out FAI junior champions and AUL champions Killester United out in the last round. May give Longford a few problems.

Fair play to Beachboy & his brothers. Marc is a gentleman (off the pitch!).

And that was just because Emma Byrne was there.

Still awful.

I like the draw for UCD, might finally be able to go to a game in Galway and make a weekender of it. Over the years my attempts to do both on the same trip have been futile.

Any chance they might be willing to move the game to the Cross, the extra revenue might come in handy.

There will be a restricted capacity for the game, and it is strictly first come first served for tickets.

What's the craic with that? Thought all the ground problems were sorted!

Apparently we're looking at less than 500 tickets, when we actually need over a thousand.
