Go over on the Saturday every year. Excellent tournament,the pitch is as good as anything you see in the country at this time of year. I read there's a big clamp down on street parking this year so be careful ------------- PM me for all forum moderation queries. |

Twice in the last 4 weeks the estate has appeared on various social media accounts because the DFB have been unable to get down the roads in ambulances due to ridicolous parking stemming from DCU so the guards are clamping down |

Watched the Barca v Deportivo game. The crisp passing, movement, positioning of these players was great to watch.

Barca 2up and cruising, should have been 6 or 7, trying to walk the ball in. SKB equalise with two late goals. Straight to penos. Barca win 4-2. Enjoyable match. 6 and 8 were image of Xavi and Iniesta and a pacy little winger like Messi. ------------- "Smalling and Jones.... have the potential to be the PL’s best ever pairing in my opinion." - SlurAlex |

Totally agree. Some of Barca's combination play was outstanding. The only flaw was putting the ball in the back of the net. They looked a league above Kevin's but in fairness to the SKB's they kept going and battled their way back in to the game. It would have been robbery if Barca hadn't won the shootout though ------------- El Puto Amo |

Some achievement by Nurney Villa from Carlow to beat St Kevins in the Leinster Youth Cup Final! Talking about David vs Goliath! Nurney is a village in rural Carlow with no more than 200 people living in it, the club has one pitch which caters for every team the club has from kids to their junior teams, the dressing rooms are no more than an old container. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

I've no idea what their plan is but weren't they very much in opposition to the new structure? Could they just be trying to hold what they have and hope that the new underage national league either doesn't take off or falls apart all together? ------------- El Puto Amo |

They approached LOI clubs and got no reply (same as my club). Meanwhile St. Pats have linked up with another - Cherry Orchard to add to Belvo and Crumlin. Rovers have Lucan Utd, Corduff and Grenada, very geographically strategic. ------------- "Smalling and Jones.... have the potential to be the PL’s best ever pairing in my opinion." - SlurAlex |

Is that true regarding SKB's? Why would LOI clubs not want to ally themselves with the most successful schoolboy club around at the moment? Something doesn't add up there. Surely the LOI clubs should be falling over themselves to link with SKB's. Geographically speaking, Pats are no closer to Belvo than Kevins. ------------- El Puto Amo |
Posted By: Gary McKay
Date Posted: 25 May 2017 at 4:17pm
The only explanation I can think off is that they don't want SKB interfering using their vast influence as the most successful schoolboy club at the moment. Pats would hope that Northside players would now be attracted to Belvo rather then SKB. You also have Shels Academy aswell obviously. ------------- "Smalling and Jones.... have the potential to be the PL’s best ever pairing in my opinion." - SlurAlex |

I went out to watch the semis today. SKBs got a couple of lucky breaks but ultimately were worthy winners 5-2 against West Brom. The number 10 for Kevin's is v impressive. Barca beat Atleti 2-0. So it's SKB v Barca in the final again tomorrow. Should be a good game ------------- El Puto Amo |

I was at the final and agree the number 10 off Kevin was very good. Barcelona blew them away in first ten minutes going 3 nil up. Kevins barely touched the ball but after that and particularly the second half they were a better team. Barcelona were quality though there isnt an Irish Team in the country would beat them. ------------- To alcohol!!!! The cause of and solution to all lifes problems. |

Agree with you Houghton, that Barca team were excellent. Their movement, technique and passing was streets ahead of the other teams. I was slightly disappointed that this Kevins team didn't seem quite as comfortable in possession as their predecessors last season. They opted to go long and pick up the pieces quite often. But I only saw a couple of their games and it's unfair to judge them on the basis of the final as Barca got the breaks early and put the game to bed as a contest after less than 10 mins. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Yes they don’t play a whole lot of football. They like to get the ball forward quickly They have 3 attacking players with pace,power They like to get it up to them,and they cause serious damage. ------------- PM me for all forum moderation queries. |

Now, I don't want to sound like I'm bashing a load of kids or their coaches here! However, what you're talking about above doesn't fill me with confidence. These are the elite players in Ireland at their age group and the system they have is to punt it forward and let the fact that they have better quality players in their team dictate how things go from there. It's really just playing the percentages. What happens when the lads get older and want to make the step to LOI, UK or international football and there are other players who are equally good but have better game intelligence and are used to playing various passing systems? Again, I have only seen these lads play a couple of games so maybe I'm being harsh here. ------------- El Puto Amo |

No they are not a long ball team,that is harsh on them. Did you see the goal that went viral recently from them? From tip off,ball goes back to keeper,they work it forward and score? Was on sky sports etc. excellent team goal The no10 scored it. He also scored a ‘scorpion kick’ before that from a corner that went viral! ------------- PM me for all forum moderation queries. |

I did see that goal that went viral. I wasn't sure which Kevins team it was. That was absolutely fantastic and brilliant to watch. I'll take your steer on this BSM as you've seen them regularly which I haven't and the final of the Academy cup against Barca was probably the wrong game to judge them on. They played some decent ball against West Brom in the semi. ------------- El Puto Amo |
