Why didn't ye arrange a few friendlies over the last couple of months, when ye had no games??

had one friendly in all that time against our c team,it wasn't for the want of trying to get one but it seems there is a lot of hassle going through the ldmc and that to get a fixture and also alot of tems when they have a free weeknd aren't too bothered about playing friendlies

just after hearing that mungret took a fair hammering yesterday aganist pike 7-0 wonder what affect this is going to have on them for the run in??

**Dallas** · 10/03/2008, 12:12 PM

It was a fair hammering alrite I'll admit but the story could have been different if we converted some of our pressure in the first half. We hit the crossbar and had two cleared off the line and the goals we gave away were sloppy (losing our men at set-pieces; simple stuff really), not taking away from pike they were good. In the second half alot of our players went hiding and didnt want to know about it, and from there we just basically rolled over.

You know its not your day when you save a penalty and the rebound goes in. But fair play to pike best of luck to them in the rest of it.

Yes a hammering mungret got, 2 nil down within the first 10 minutes, it seemed that mungret gave pike too much respect and were very naive at the beginning of the game. after the second goal mungret came back into the game, pike had to clear the ball off their line and a header off the crossbar from a corner saved pike, pike had 3 chances in the first half, scored twice, mungret had 2 chances, didn't score, that was the difference. pike scored twice early into the second half, that was game over.
it will be interesting to see what happens mungret after this. talking with one of their players, they are only interested in the league and will probably continue their wining streak in 1A.

Consistency goes out the window when you are playing a team at the top of a higher division because they are use to playing at the level with a faster pace, mungret weren't yesterday, although i do believe after seeing mungret on a few ocassions this season in their own league they will continue to be consistent in their own league.

**Ballsy** · 11/03/2008, 10:32 AM

what a huge game that is!it was a 1-1 draw the last time they met.both teams have suffered hammerings from pike in the past two weeks.

Pretty ironic that the best player on the pitch by a mile was Alan Finucane who played with Mungret for years. The standard of the top teams in the Premier is light years ahead of Division 1A.

I'l go witH Mungret to shade it, seeing as though they have home advantage.

**Dallas** · 11/03/2008, 12:58 PM

yah it was a tight game that mungret didnt play well in, they didnt turn up and were lucky to equalize at the end

**Toon army** · 12/03/2008, 8:32 AM

massive games this weekend,

geraldines are struggling to stay in the division and need 3 points, it'll be a dog fight sunday morning in bateman!!
I predict a draw.

Mungret v dromore will be massive for both clubs in the race for promotion. I predict a home win for mungret.

Mr. Reality · 12/03/2008, 8:37 AM

Well I must say that if Mungret are indeed the standard bearers for 1a it doesn't bode well. 7-0 to Pike is appalling. There are eams lower in the divisions that would have made a better effort. You dig in, keep it tight and show a bit of pride. Doesn't say a lot for Mungrets tenacity. They may well fall away in this league. Dromore win.
