Moyle Park played with the “Gale” at their backs for the first half and used the conditions to their advantage by lumping the ball forward at every opportunity to their excellent number 9. Heb caused the MM defence a lot of problems with his excellent first touch and pace. <br /><br />Moyle Park could consider themselves unlucky not to go in at the break 1 up with one terrific effort off the bar and one goal disallowed for a very soft freekick given to MM inside the six yard box. But credit must go to an excellent defensive display by all the players especially the two centre half’s who battled manfully against atrocious condition for the first 45mins. <br /><br />Predictably the second half was the opposite to the first half with Merrion camped inside the Moyle park half. At times Merrion tried to play to much football in those conditions with the final ball just not reaching its target. Austin Skelly came on in the second half and immediately started to cause a lot of problems with his robust tackling and ability to hold off defenders and play others in. <br /><br />Still very few chances were created with Skelly unlucky with one drive and with a lob that looked certain to go in but the wind lifted it over the bar at the last second. Johnny King and Chris Barber also went close with efforts. Finally with three mins to go the game was decided by one moment of quality with great work down the right by Mark Cullen squaring the ball for Mikey McCann to bury it from eight yards with his first touch since coming on. <br /><br />Credit must go to the management going for the win by taking off a CH and putting McCann on to take all the points for Merrion. In a day of little football but a lot of hard graft, Merrion just shaded it for better use of poession. Moyle Park are a very big and direct side and will take points off everyone. Their league position is not reflective of the quality they have especially upfront and you could see them moving up the table after Christmas. <br /><br />Man of the Match award must go to one of the defenders as they set the platform for this victory. Man of the Match goes to our new recruit Stephen Murtagh who is proving himself to be vital component of this side.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201445724081864845.post-60409154281595903612007-12-03T10:45:00.000+00:002007-12-14T10:57:01.288+00:00FAI Umbro Intermediate CupThird Round<br /><br />Newtown Rangers 1- 1 Carrigaline FC<br />Lissadel UTD 5 - 0 Rigmahon Rangers<br />Terenure CYM 3 - 5 Liffeys Pearce<br />Fanad UTD 5 - 0 Loughshinny<br /><br /><br />This weekend Merrion team will play against Malahide UTD away.

Reports suggests that Merrion were the better team on the day however couldn't take full advantage. Michael McCann looks to like the ground as he scored a beautiful goal from outside the box, same as in the first league game of the season where he scored a volley from 40 yards againts Tolka.

Merrion started the game brightly and missed a sitter within 10 minutes. Of corse in this beautiful game if you don't score you will be punished and this is what happen. <br /><br />Beggsboro took the lead and Merrion started chasing the game as they have done in previous weeks. It was all about Merrion front there on however they could not find the net. Merrion hit the post at least 4 times during the game and had plenty of chances to score but panicked in front of the goal. <br /><br />Finally the new lad Shane open the scoring for MM and gave Merrion something to fight about. After a few minutes Merrion took the lead from Hysa however poor defending again at the back in the dying minutes lost MM all 3 point from this game. <br /><br />Merrion have deserved more than a point in the last 2 games however if you don't take your chances and give away poor goals you will be punished. A lot of positives to take out of this game as Merrion should have won with the commitement and effort they put in. With a bit of work in defence and in front of the goal Merrion team will be able to challenge at the top of Saturday Major 1 league.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201445724081864845.post-82481933921559288702007-11-11T16:05:00.000+00:002007-11-26T16:17:18.910+00:00Newtown 3 - 2 MerrionMerrion should have won the game by half time with a lot of chances and a clear shout for penalty however they were in their back foot again when Newtown scored with their first attack after 20 minutes. <br /><br />Merrion equalised with a cracking goal from Paul O'Sullivan. This will be a strong contender for goal of the season as you wont see many of this even in the premiership.<br /><br />Newtown scored on the break twice in the second half and gave Merrion no chance to get back into the game. Ryan Coyle got a penalty within minutes to go however Merrion were unable to find an equaliser. <br /><br />If Merrion sort out their defensive problem they will have no problem surviving in this division.

Game started brightly with Mount Merrion having the better opening however the first and only chance up to that point that Ringsend had ended up in the back of the net. MM started working harder and found them self back in the game after a well taken header from Sully. From there on it was all about Mount Merrion with Ryan Coyle running the midfield however a bad goal keeping error gave Ringsend the lead. MM was pushing hard and missed 2 glorious chances in the second half. They were a lot of positives to be taken from this game however MM has to cut of silly mistakes id they want to survive in this division.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201445724081864845.post-3629835030515172552007-11-02T11:19:00.000+00:002007-11-04T16:27:44.922+00:00Hysa leave first team affairs<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a23S-Nk7uqo/RysK12J6n8I/AAAAAAAAAYA/g333_Oy6kug/s1600-h/alban.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128204520877891522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a23S-Nk7uqo/RysK12J6n8I/AAAAAAAAAYA/g333_Oy6kug/s400/alban.jpg" border="0" /></a>Alban Hysa has been with the club since Mount Merrion were playing in Senior 1b and has been an asset in helping the club to achieve success during the years winning leagues 3 years in a row (2004/5, 2005/6, 2006/7) and the George Moore Cup by scoring the only goal of the game season 2004/5. <br /><br /><br />Now MM plays their football in LSL Senior Division and so far Hysa has scored 2 goals this season (1 in the league and 1 in the cup). <br /><br /><br />Hysa has been playing up front and on the left wing scoring more than 50 goals in all competitions.<br /><br /><br />Hysa leaves the first team in safe hands as MM full squad includes 23 players that have made their name known in the LSL Senior top Division and league of Ireland. <br /><br /><br />Alban will get involved as player/coach with the Saturday team. <br /><br /><br />Mount Merrion Football Club would like to thank Alban Hysa for his contribution during the years and wish him good luck in the new adventure.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201445724081864845.post-59933081973843892942007-10-31T11:53:00.000+00:002007-11-02T11:37:24.518+00:00Timmons scores again<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a23S-Nk7uqo/RysL72J6n9I/AAAAAAAAAYI/F3yoL-cVzQY/s1600-h/047090.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a23S-Nk7uqo/RysL72J6n9I/AAAAAAAAAYI/F3yoL-cVzQY/s400/047090.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128205723468734418" /></a><br />Timmons 3 goal of the season wasn't enough to get at least a point to the Merrion team. Timmons has been in great form this season and scored a well taken volley. Based on reports Bangor Celtic were not having a great game however looked very comfortable against a Merrrion side that find life in the top flight difficult this season. Merrion didn't have many chances however they did have a cast iron penalty not given. Sadly Bangor Celtic looked like they wanted it more and Merrion lost their 3 game of the season.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">BLUEBELL 0 0 TOLKA ROV Sun 28 Oct 07<br />CRUMLIN UTD 1 1 GREYSTONES Sun 28 Oct 07<br />MALAHIDE 1 1 PHOENIX Sun 28 Oct 07<br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">MT MERRION/YMCA 1 2 BANGOR CEL Sun 28 Oct 07</span><br />WAYSIDE CEL 1 1 SKERRIES Sun 28 Oct 07<br />BELGROVE 4 1 DUBLIN BUS Fri 26 Oct 07 </span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Our Saturday team didn't have a game this weekend</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
