Result
Wembley 1 - 1 Janesboro
Wow, two surprise results there. Regional getting a hammering and Boro getting held by Wembley.
Pike Rovers 2-1 Ballynanty Rovers
An entertaining game this morning, ending in a narrow victory for Pike. It was Ballynanty who made the early running however, and opened the scoring through some great work down the right by Barry Quinn. He cut inside, and passed off to Robbie Kelleher who hooked it in with his left foot from well outside the area. A great strike, worth the entrance fee on its own. Ballynanty were playing a 4-3-3 with Pike playing a 4-4-2 and Balla's extra man in midfield was making the difference as they were able to put Ken McNamara tight on John Tierney. He followed him everywhere and Tierney was barely in the game. But of course, Tierney being Tierney, he popped up on the left wing late in the first half to send a low cross in for Alan Barry to slot home. 1-1.
The second half kicked off and immediately it became clear that Balla were holding a defensive line that was far too deep. McNamara was still marking Tierney but the other two midfielders Lee and Doran weren't pushing up close enough to lone striker Kelleher to take advantage of their extra man. Everyone seemed far more concerned with Pike's threat. The second goal was inevitable and eventually it came from Balla's left side as Hanrahan drifted in central, picked up a pass from Moloney out wide and slotted home. A soft goal with no-one tight enough to either man.
After that Balla seemed to tire noticeably. They made a few substitutions to counteract this but still kept the same shape, just with the wide players higher up. It may have been worth throwing Dermot Fitz up in a central role beside Kelleher towards the end. Pike were reasonably comfortable, and Boyle in particular at right full was man of the match. There was however, a two footed tackle from Colm Enright late on that probably should have resulted in a red card.
A close shave for Pike and they'll be delighted with the victory on a day in which Janesboro could only draw. They missed Conor Kavanagh hugely in the centre of midfield, but their rock solid defence won the day for them. Balla can take heart from this game but must be thinking what might have been. More positive positioning from Lee and Doran would surely have overwhelmed Pike's young holding player.
SUmmervile 0 Carew park 2 mark sla , mange
GOod result on a awful pitch mark sla with a 25yrd screamer on 50mins mange adding a 2nd on 70mins it could of been more missed pen aswell

Wembley 1 Boro 1,our lads where given a gameplan before the game and stuck to it very well to gain a great point,boro had pocession for long periods but we worked very hard to deny them space and kept our shape throughout,boro are a fine side and if they add yellow to the team will take some stopping,best of luck to them for the season.
ya boro played most of the ball but wembley are very well organised and looked dangerous on the break for their workrate wembley deserved the point they got
Heard that Fairview beat Star 7 - 0.
if pike where playing 4,4,2 and balla where playing 4,3.3 how can you make out balla had an extra man in midfield
What game were you at ye had one chance in 90mins that after ten mins when yer striker was in on goal. I'd say we must of had 80% possession and was camped in yer half the whole 2nd half. ALso missed a pen had a perfectly good goal ruled out and that was just the first half. WE scored two 2nd half in fairness it should of been 4
Good result for us yesterday against the Boro, you know you did well when you come off the pitch disappointed that we didnt get the 3 points but we will take the point im sure the Boro were happy at the end also.. We played some good football at times and defended very well.
