How was the Bowl soccer experience ?
Were we allowed move away from the stand ? Stand behind the goal ?
DB Cooper is alive !
Ppl stood all around the place. We arrived 5 minutes before kickoff, there was a total of 5 in the entire ground, including me and my brother.Originally Posted by Angus
The bowl was tough to find. One of the roads through campus was strategically closed to hamper our efforts to find the place. Its a nice stand, why is it called a bowl? Nicer than the spot we played UCD last preseason!!
UCD were easily on top. Kildare hardly put an attack together. Its a good sign for the spanking new Kildare defence that they only conceded two, considering that they're all new, a couple of young lads and they were pretty much under attack for 90 minutes.
The pillars are still annoying but not to the extent they were in Belfield though you do feel further away from the action.
It was called the bowl, I would assume, because prior to all the redevelopment work the pitch was located in a natural bowl.

Davidatrb, did you get a chance to video any of it? I believe some Kildare fans had a camera with them last year.

Yes. Check youtube, my brother LudiChris does the filming and editting. It should be up after the weekend.
Beat Longford 2-0 today. Paul Byrne and Timmy with the goals.

Excellent. Thanks for recording our games.

I know one shouldn't really get excited over pre-season and I haven't seen any matches myself but I wonder if Purcell and Byrne could have the makings of a good partnership. Byrne's record over the last few years suggests he could be a good goalscorer and he is also good in the air. Timmy on the other hand is nippy and harrasses defenders and appears to be finding his scoring boots. Last season we lacked a functioning partnership and it blunted us badly, although we also benefitted from playing 5 across the middle. The team could score more this season with a good duo who compliment each other.
Amazing how wrong my match report is!
Can't tell if the second penalty was saved or if it hit the post. I'm leaning towards the latter.
I was over near it and it looked like it was saved.Amazing how wrong my match report is!
