Leeside were missing 5 against springfield.The side that starts the first league game will be very different to the side yesterday.No doubt Grattan and Kinsale will still be the teams to beat.Best of luck to springers for the season ahead too.

Seemed to be fairly much same team as last year when we lost 1 nil. Cheers anyway.

Echo said it 3-2, but it wasnt, 3-1

Now now Bella,ye were probably missin a few yourselves and from what I've been readin here and on the echo their B manager is in charge now. The players they were missin could have been B players brought up if you are that sure you remember the ones you played against.

Don't read to much into the Mossie,this time of the year no one has their full squad available.We are in the holiday season an will be for another couple of weeks.If ye were happy with how ye performed thats all that counts.The real stuff dose'nt start till the middle of September

**bellavistaman** · 27/08/2007, 10:01 PM

We had a squad of 16 and 6 were mising going to be great competition, few coming back from rams 21s so squad should strengthen hopefully in next few weeks.

couldnt make it to the game in the end bella, my brother played thou.....but didnt have much to say about the game. We were missing a good few alrite - gonz, keegan, con o leary, colin ahern, looney and kenneally were 6 starters from last year. But a good win nonetheless. Looks like the gratts and kinsale are the teams to beat alrite, could be the start of a great rivalry between the pair!! Hopefully leeside and others might have a say in it yet!

**rebelrover** · 27/08/2007, 11:47 PM

sorry brother's just told me keanneally and gonz came on, what do i know eh

Back training myself thurs nite so mite get a look in at the wknd Could have been 4:3 to springers if u were avaialble for selection bella

Bella the pressure is mountain.If you dont score a hat trick or make a goal line clearence or sometin special on your debut we'll all be disgusted.

Bella t'would be a great bang if you got someone to record you durin the game and stick it on YOUTUBE.

The Return of BELLA

I must say reading this shows the huge advantage Prem and Prem A teams get from the Mossie... A load of people here have mentioned small squads and missing players due to holidays and other reasons (bad time of year) hence mossie is competitive but nothing lost for having a weaker side out. However lower leagues it's foot to the throttle from day 1. A few early losses and season can be over before the season has started fully...

**littleman** · 28/08/2007, 9:01 AM

2 true Innish,our A team plays basically 4 warm up games(mossie) to get their squad right before the Fai and the league games start.Our B squad will have 5 league games played by then(encludin 2 midweek of which 1 is away down in Midelton,joke).

The B season is short enough as it is without playin midweek games.18 league games,Aoh,Saxone and the City Challange.21 games if we lose in the first round.We could be finished by the end of January and thats even allowin for a few weeks of rain.Our A team only had 3 league games played at that stage last year.I dont see why they could'nt run the individual divisional competitions like they run the Mossie.

I'm retiring at the young age of 20, too much pressure.

**Billynose** · 28/08/2007, 12:05 PM

Am i missing something here, how come the two grattan players haven't been included in the junior squad? Did they perform badly in the last international or is this the anti cork bias roy keane speaks about

**littleman** · 28/08/2007, 2:40 PM

A complete joke.Thats all I can say on the matter.The only guys that played well out in the Cross for the Yankee game were Robert O'Mahony,Howey,Pa Connors and John Paul.All from Cork.

I've seen John Paul play the 2 previous junior internationals and he was excellent.Pa only played out in the Cross for 14 minutes and in that 14 mins he created the only clean cut chance the Irish team had.

Beats me how the man is able to pick a squad with only a week or 2 gone in the season.Very dissapointing.

Have to agree with you on this one littleman. However, that game in TX v USA was an amateur intnl game which is supposedly higher than the junior intnl level. Maybe they are now part of this higher level squad. Its the only answer I can think of as they were both excellent when they came on.

**littleman** · 28/08/2007, 5:08 PM

Thats what I was thinkin myself this mornin when I got the news.I hope hope your right shilts.Their both more than able to shine at that standard.Be great for the lads and the AUL if it is the case.

**bellavistaman** · 28/08/2007, 10:15 PM

Our game was abandoned after 15 mins today, wont go into the story of it, better not for a while anyway. Bella still waitin for his comeback though, was coming on at half time and all.ha.
