Heā€™s blackā€¦I was afraid if I said that Iā€™d have some flake like you on my caseā€¦the world is fucked itā€™s full of dicks like you now :roll_eyes:

Have you ever seen him playā€¦you probably havenā€™tā€¦keyboard man.

Saw him play a few times at Minor and U-20. Looked better off the bench for the U-20s against Cork than some of the lads who started.

Unfortunately he will get dogs abuse from the lads in the terraces when he plays senior.

Not from me or you he wonā€™tā€¦heā€™s a quick chap he has a chance of making it.

Brilliant goal from Austin Gleeson from a 21 to beat De La Salle. Unstoppable.

Mount Sion 2-17
De La Salle 2-16.

Mount Sions second game in the round robin resulted in a dramatic one point win over city rivals De La Salle.
De La Salle lined out as selected. There were three late changes to the Mount Sion team due to injury, Owen Whelan, Luke Oā€™Brien and Tommy McGrath dropping out.
Mount Sion started the scoring with an Alan Kirwan point before Reuben Oā€™Halloran replied with an excellent goal. Points were traded before John Kennedy got Mount Sions first goal. Mount Sions scores were mainly coming from Austin Gleeson frees. Then he blazed a tap over wide and a minute later landed a monster point from the sideline in his own half. At half time Mount Sion led 1-11 to 1-9 having played with a good breeze.
De La Salle started the second half in a whirlwind and scored 6 unanswered points in the first nine minutes. It looked bleak for Mount Sion. However De La Salle took their foot off the pedal. Fifteen minute minutes into the half Mount Sion got their first score, an Austin Gleeson side line. In the 54th minute, with the score at 1-16 to 1-14 the increasingly prominent Adam Regan won a free 25 yards out to the right of the goal. Gleeson stepped up and buried the ball past the five defenders on the line. Two minutes later Regan won another free in the identical spot. Gleeson stepped up again, went for goal again but the strike wasnā€™t as true as the previous one and the ball was saved. The ball was cleared down the field and De La Salle softened Mount Sions cough with a Tonto Douglas goal. 2-16 to 2-14. Mount Sion brought on Owen Whelan, De La Salle brought on Kevin Moran. A Whelan point brought it back to 2-16 to 2-15 and then Gleeson pointed a 100 yard free (for overcarrying) and as we tipped into the 2 minutes of added time it was level. Reuben Oā€™Halloran drove a 65 wide and from the next play Donal Power sent over a point to put Mount Sion ahead again. He gave Jake Dillon a good dunt on the way back to his position and the referee used up a good minute of the allotted two identifying and yellow carding the culprit with the result that as soon as Mikey Daykin of Mount Sion had won the De La Salle puckout, the final whistle blew and Mount Sion had topped the group.

An enjoyable game but neither side should trouble Ballygunner.

How did Martin Oā€™Neill hurl? He was a lad I had a lot of time for at underage and the early days of Derekā€™s reign but seemed to drift away quick enough, grand stylish hurler if probably lacking a bit of size/speec

Martin or Martin Fish?

Bit one sided is he?

Which lad played for Waterford a decade ago?

Martin. He played centre back tonight and had a grand game.

A few heavy suspensions handed out for the Ballygunner v Mount Sion U15 shenanigans.

Yeah seems to be alright.
Both clubs fined 4K each. Handy money to bring in for a skint county board.

@Fagan_ODowd will have to cash in a bitcoin to bale out the club.

Weā€™ll have to charge JP for the use of the field to land his helicopter next year.

Who got suspended?

Brian Flannery seemingly got 96 weeks.

Seems to be the longest one. Someone got 36 weeks and another lad got 3 months. I heard somebody got 48 weeks.

No doubt there will be a spate of appeals.

Thanks very much.

That element was coming.

In all fairness if you get involved in a fight at a childrenā€™s match you deserve whatā€™s coming to you.
