rob coombes isnt getting regular football with portmarnock

Good luck in your long trek to Donegal, hope its a fruitful one and I believe it will be......

Glendale you are incorrect, Rob Coombes has played every game bar 1 for us this season, and the game he missed was to give him a rest as he had played a Colleges game and an Oscar Traynor friendly the previous Tuesday and Thursday.

To the person asking about Barry Flynn, yes he is still going strong.

To "inexile" - good insight and accurate assessment of our team. Stan and Ado will be delighted you gave them a mention!

Green Hoop - thanks for the added motivation, your comments will be printed and passed around to all the lads on the coach on Sunday morning.

Looking forward to a good game against Pike, a great club with superb history and pedigree, great example to all Junior Clubs. see you sunday lads

why thank you dr mad, ye have a good side all the same i just dont want to talk you up too much cos then pike will have a bit of warning, im sure they will be happy they got a mention alright but credit where credit is due, 2 very good players. i think pikes pitch could suit ye, i think the pitch in portmarnock hinders ye due to the sea wind coming in

Well we've a very young team and are re-building right now so we're delighted just to have made it this far, the trip to Pike will be a great experience for the young lads. Pike are massive favourites as Green Hoop has said. Hopefully we can keep the defeat down to 3 or 4 nil and put in a good account of ourselves. As it happens Coombes will be away at a wedding and Stan is injured right now (broken finger) as is Flynn, but we have drafted in a couple of good lads from the Under 18s to take their places and fingers crossed they will be ok.

Pike should perform well,mostly do against out of town teams,Limerick teams get up on there high horse as its one of there BIG games of the season playing Pike,people seemingly hate winning teams,look at Man Utd,were hated for years until chelsea come along,now its ABC(anyone but chelsea) So out of town teams represent a different challange for Pike,a regular game if you will(for want of a better phrase)...I know many(all 10 people using the forum) will disagree with the above as usual..And claim I'm not from Pike...pity they're mostly new recruits to pike...

You can be assured of a friendly welcome on Sunday Dr.Mad, we pride our selves on being good hosts so you can expect the highest quality ham sandwiches and oxtail soup on Sunday.

I hope the childish ravings of one particular poster hasn't sullied your image of Pike as a club and Im sure if it has you'll leave with a different impression on Sunday.

good luck on Sunday Abbeyvale - it would be a great acheivement to come away with a win after that amount of travelling.

Cheers to the Pike Lads and good luck to both sides on Sunday, always good to make new friends in football. And dont worry about Green Hoop, sure every club has the odd spanner, he probably can't get a game so spends his time on here bellyaching
