i was trying to fit you in canon but obviosly your not that excited to be a starter in the cup final. anyway mike has only come back playing soccer, good in his youth but needs to lay off the sunday cakes if he wants to get back to his best.

Balla to win 2 nil !

I think Dines will win but it will be a tight game only a goal will separate them and with Ger Barron in the form he is at the moment I dont see Balla scoring a whole pile.......

very tight game,dines played well,we scored with about a minute to go then got the winner first couple of minutes in extra time,very hard luck on the dines,some very good players but we kept battling and got back into it just about.
its great to get something for all the hard work during the year,now we have to look forward to charleville on saturday evening

**dines08** · 04/06/2008, 11:36 AM

congrats to balla after last nights game...think it was a good advert for 1a...tight game but good quality, all players involved had good games...think one or two injury's picked up cost us in the end...we almost held on but as soon as the equaliser went in we were hanging on...the balla subs made a huge difference...majorly disappointin for us as for some of our players it could be their last game for the club...time to regroup and look forward to next season, once again congrats to balla

Watched the 2nd half of the game last night... was not great to watch.. from what i saw the dines had a couple of great chances to win the game but a mixture of good defending/goalkeeping and brutal deciesion making cost them dearly.At 1-0 up and with about 10 mins to go,the dines broke fwd with a 2 on 1 situation. Dont know who the player was who broke fwd on the right side is but he took the ball into the corner flag from about 40 yrds out,trying to waste time, when Mark Healy(best player on the pitch imo) was free in the center with only the keeper to beat. I imagine that every person in the ground was gobsmacked...even the refs watching the match saw this.... Balla equalised about 2 mins later...lucky goal but you need them... left after balla equalised...

**Philbert** · 04/06/2008, 1:53 PM

Any one know the balla team last night?

Why is this????

**dines08** · 05/06/2008, 3:29 AM

for gerry barron more so than any other as he is off to ucd next year...a guy who has played wit geraldines since he was a young guy...not a nice way to finish up, wit one or two other very talented young guys in the squad it'll be hard to hold onto them...bit sad really, we always seem to bring players thru schoolboy and lose them soon afterwards

**leather** · 05/06/2008, 6:13 AM

Barron is a class act and good to see him progressing to ucd, only player imo who could make the jumper to premier would be M.Healy...and not trying to be smart but for how many years have you been having your player bunk off after schoolboys...?fair play for to your club for stiil having a great schoolboy setup.

don't think it was a lucky goal,beat his marker and shot and scored from a tight angle,agree with you about the rest though,brininging on kevin nolan changed the game,up until then we never looked like scoring,the same player scored the winner and it was a cracker,gave ger barron no chance,thought the tall centre midfielder was good for dines too and the centre half beside pa koyce,there best player though before he went off injured was there other centre forward,caused us awful problems in the first half,Mark Healy is a fine player,can't see him staying with the dines though.
