Come on the Nordies.Best of luck to Newtown and Pike and Balla

[shelbourne1904]

Newtown were beaten by a better side.Despite no savable shots from either side in the first half Trinity dominated territorially.3 headers scored in the second half all of which were defensive errors but good finishes.

Hard luck on yesterday. It's always difficult to win away from home in the fai. I was just wondering what team was?

Did Newtown have many chances when 0 all?

Some interesting results this weekend with Pike and Ballymun out.

Beaten by a very strong team. Very big physically every player +6ft. Cant complain, they were the better side on the day,we didnt really get going and were defending most of the game. Nil - nil at half time and disapointed to concede 3 headed goals. The ref was excellant and they laid on a serious spread after the game. They could go far in this competition.

the home draw is all important in this comp papa;well done for getting this far,who played well for ye?

Players met at the airport at half six, most of the players live only 5mins away which means they prob got up around 6 or so. Players also got to lie down/sleep in the hotel for a few hours before the game. This definitely had nothing to do with the result. Just three headers that were well taken/poorly defended.

Noel Donnelan didn't start and was brought on after 20mins for bunny Carr.

[jimbo]

was bunny injured nut? very early to take off one of your main men,was that the reason for defeat do you think? surely cheeky gave their back four a run for their money?

[manalishi]

Midfield was over run,including Bunny so he never got a chance to get into the game but management had to do something to stem the tide.Equally defence constantly under pressure so all clearances were inacurate and never gave midfield or frontline a chance as neither Cheeky or Eduardo can head the ball .TC defence won everything in the air and were never stretched on the ground because of poor service to the 2 lads.Biggest dissapointment was poor defending in the air for all 3 goals.Best players for Newtown were Derek Burns and Pa Devaney at full backs.
