Carrick 3 Watford Cyrstal 0 John James Keyes JJ Butler John Murphy
Piltown 0 Saviors 1 Joey Twomey
Dungarvan 0 Bohs 2 Bobby Keoghan 2
Ferrybank 0 Villa 0
Hibs 0 Tramore 3

A decent 1st half performance last night from carrick capped off with two wonderful goals 1st from John James a cross from the left by Anthony Power was flicked on by Butler onto John James's chest at the edge of the box where he volleyed an unstoppable shot into the far top corner leaving Derek Aherne no chance. The 2nd came 5 mins later following a passing move from Carrick that every outfield player got invovled led to lee Grace finding space on the right to clip in a ball for JJ Butler to power home a header from 10 yards. Carrick went dead for the rest of the half and game and Glass had 2 or 3 grear opportunites to score none of which were good enough to beat Adrian Walsh who was outstanding yet again. In the 90th minute sub John Murphy turned delightfully on the edge of the box, jinked past another defender and drilled the ball in off the left post. The score line flattered Carrick some what but there is encouraging signs for the season ahead.

Yeah JJ and Spud had stop start seasons last year for differing reasons, where as John James with 3rd team and done very well by all accounts and stepped up this year and has started impressively.

The Waterford Junior league have set up this site for all fixtures, results and tables.
It came about as an independat page was set up by the founder of a discussion page on Facebook. The league reacted the only way they know how -Ignorantly and set up their own and threatened legal action for use of the title Waterford and District Junior League and for also reproducing their Fixtures without permission.

Anyway biggest game of the year so far on Saturday night in Graun Park as Carrick visit Tramore with Carrick 2 points behind the "Galacticos" of the Premeir League. Should be one for the ages. Conor Fell is suspended for Carrick after being harshly sent off v Ferrybank, Tramore could be without Quilty as he was sent for Violent Conduct v Saviors.

Prediction: 2-1 Carrick if we close the space for Grant and Russell in midfield and do not leave them pass the ball we will be in with a great shout.

**Mission Bell** · 22/09/2011, 8:13 AM

Yeah, Carrick up against it on Saturday. Tramore have been busy putting a squad together in an effort to wrestle the title from 'The Hoops'.
I will sit on the fence and predict a score draw!

**Galla** · 23/09/2011, 1:18 PM

Jaysus lads - would ye not set up a new thread for the current season (I know ye won the league last year but it's time to let it go!!).

Looking forward to game tomorrow night - last season's fixture was a right match - unfortunately for Tramore they didn't take advantage of their win. Tramore seem to have strengthened while Carrick if down a number of retired players (who has hung up their boots Wayne Fitz, Alan Ryan??) must be weakened from last season.

Would reckon Tramore to win 3-1.

**cufc champions** · 23/09/2011, 2:09 PM

No point opening a new thread the interest is not there, if the mods could change the title to remove they year it would be perfect.
Carrick were very poor away last and hopefully will improve their performance in Tramore tomorrow night. big crowd is expected.

**Galla** · 26/09/2011, 9:42 AM

Tramore much the better side in their 2-1 win over Carrick on Saturday evening. They were on top all over the pitch (while never dominating) - particularly in the middle where Stephen Grant was class - Carrick's young pairing in there were out of their depth. 1st half was a good contest - second was all Tramore apart from last 10 minutes where Carrick put on a bit of pressure without really looking like scoring. When Tramore have Paul Quilty back up front they will take some beating - as for Carrick - think they'll be up against it this year (just the way they like it!!) to win trophies.

**liamo** · 27/09/2011, 1:14 PM

Having seen most teams play tramore look way ahead of the rest with the exception of carrick, have to say that overall it looks a poor league this year. Like to hear what others think.

**cufc champions** · 29/09/2011, 7:16 AM

The standard has being going that way for a while now, it doesnt help when all of the best talent is being hoovered up by one club. Saviors have made great strides recently but that is about all that is improving. Too many premeir teams are depending on signings instead of developing strong schoolboy set ups to bring players through, but even developing a good schoolboy set up has its barriers as if you show potential as a good player at a small underage club the likes of Villa and Bohs will "sign" up the talented players on promise of trials here there and everywhere. Waterford United have also started taking the u19's seriously this season and this has taken away most of the talented youths. Carrick were supposed to be signing two players, Doherty (from Carrick but went to Bohs and Villa as a teenager) & Fitzpatrick (Father is from Carrick) but both signed for WUFC which is there right. All these factors coupled with emigration has stagnated the Premier Division in Waterford and in many other leagues, just look at the limerick thread.

Good post cufc and hard to disagree with you.Only thing I will say is any club in the league would take the best talent if they could get them(and most try).Nice to see carrick doing well again in schoolboy football,shouldn't lose any more like young Doherty.

**Mission Bell** · 30/09/2011, 8:36 AM

Carrick Utd. have won everything in the game over the past ten to twelve years in Waterford Junior League and beyond, culminating in their Munster Senior Cup success last May. The fact that this was achieved with local players makes the achievement all the more commendable. They are the club which other teams measure themselves by.
With the major efforts being made in schoolboys and the work put into the academy it means the club has a solid foundation.
Last weeks squad versus Tramore epitomised this philosophy.
