We know what 3 points means, but the Monks always give us a stern test.

As many as possible for this please, maybe we might even get a warm up on the 5-a-side?

looks like its going to be another lottery with the weather

.

last time we played them, we lead 4-0 at half time after playing with a storm and then came back to 4-2...had we lost 5-4 we could have had no complaints as they absolutely battered us for 30 minutes.

going to be impossible to play in if the weather stays like this so going to be a really difficult game.

FrankGrimes · 03-02-2014 01:58PM

Gutted, am going to be in Denmark on work,wasn't able to change it,gutted to miss it. Good opposition who are good,in the air at the back,even more reason to try get it down,but that ain't gonna be easy. Good luck!

Please have your ankle taped up well, I will run backwards for the first 50 metres...its the least I can do to make it competitive.

Don't forget to bring your 50 quid wager.

helimachoptor · 03-02-2014 05:16PM

We need to focus on the game and the 3 points and i think try not to get too distracted by what could happen at the end of the game.

We were aided a couple of years back in winning the league when in our last game our opposition gave us the walkover (bottom of the table).

This is an entirely different proposition, as Jules said Monks are a very solid team, who after going 4-0 down came back to 4-2 and put us under sever pressure for the entire second half.

Lets get the 3 points and then we can all bet on which sick note injures themselves first in the 100 metre sprint

mrDerek · 03-02-2014 09:47PM

nice little fact AB won the summer league with the same points 37 in 18 games whereas weve managed that in 14 :O and we are 6 points better than our final tally of 31 points with 4 games less.

Lovely Bloke · 04-02-2014 08:59AM

Lads, no pre-game race tomorrow please.

Looks like it's calmed down, but will probably be freezing.

Meaning a warm up will be essential.

was surprisingly calm there last night, a bit windy but nothing major compared to what we have seen so far this season. cant recall so many games where wind was a factor.

Wind was perfect for football last night, and by the looks of that morning it's going to be another perfect night.

Lets bring your A game folks.

I was re-united with Collie last night at 41 the aul man still has it.

Are we still going to do the 5-6 a side before hand for 15 minutes, can you send a text out an confirm, I'll come up earlier if thats the case, it would be better, we can start the game on our toes, however if it's not going to happen I'll hang back in work as im up to my eyeballs.

5-2 win.

Lovely Bloke · 04-02-2014 11:14PM

That was the absolute worst weather I've ever experienced at a match.

0-2 down to weather related mistakes, then Paddy got a Keith Special to make it 1-2 at half time.

Then about half way through the second half Darren went off injured and we scored 4 goals. I thought the way SteK, Ciaran, Damo, Kingsley, Dave and Derek took control of their half of the pitch was absolutely brilliant given the conditions, we could have had 8 or 9 truth be told, we dismantled them really, but I think they dropped the heads at 3-2.

mrDerek · 04-02-2014 11:19PM

what a great win those conditions were incredible im so surprised it wasnt called off as it looked like the 5 a sides were cancelled :O
the cold played havoc on everyones bodies i reckon few injuries and to go into the second half with 10 men and win is great

incredible consistency this season

homerjay2005 · 04-02-2014 11:38PM

well done lads, im f*cking delighted with that..what a night and more to the point, what a way to win it.

2-0 down in the worst weather ive ever played in, but my god, we stepped up big time and even though we were 10 men for most of the second, we still knocked in the last 4 goals.

ive known Ciaran for years and that was his best ever game for boards, he was immense and stepped up bigtime when needed, as of course did Derek, super stuff out of both of them in the second half. thought Damo had a great 2nd half also though everybody played really well.

should go for a few beers after next weeks game or some night before the trophy is presented.

Mousewar · 04-02-2014 11:54PM

Yeah, it was really impressive some of the moves in the second half. Some of the passes for Derek's goals were incredible, especially given the conditions. I could list names, but I'd probably list the whole team.

Well done on a great championship. I didn't play a lot of it but it's great to see the team get there. And to do so with so many games to spare in a very competitive league with several strong teams is an amazing achievement.

homerjay2005 · 05-02-2014 12:07AM

des, by the way i have your gloves and found another football down near the dressing room with Boardeaux on it so brought it home...yellow one.

being able to put out pretty much the same 11 or 12 players every week certainly helped this, makes a huge difference when the team is so settled.

05-02-2014 12:15AM

Well done everyone. Gutted I've missed the last few weeks as it's been great playing with you all this season. Everyone done a job and we more then deserved winning it with the work we all put in from start to finish over the season.

homerjay2005 · 05-02-2014 12:37AM

just looking at the league table, as well as being 10 points clear, we have -

best attack (38 goals), best defence (15 conceded), have the top scorer in Derek as well as the joint most clean sheets (7 - 3 way tie with Cork and Kooventus).

i know we'd all like to mess about for the last 3 games, but i think getting the top scorer, best defence and keeper awards is much more important. lets get the 4 trophies sorted and then we can have a bit of a laugh!

probably need 2 clean sheets in the last 3 games to seal both the defensive awards.
