On behalf of everyone involved with De Courcey Albion, we would like to thank David O’Donovan for his management of the team since August of this year.

Albions miserable start to their league campaign continued with a 2-1 loss to Blackpool Celtic at home in Ballinadee. Albion started well and seemed to dominate play in the opening 20 minutes, but Blackpool slowly crept back into the game as their 5 man midfield started to over run Albions 4. Neither teams had any…

Darren Daly has been named Albions man of the match for his performance vs Ballinhassig.

Albion continued to start games looking nervy with Blackpool doing much of the pressing and attacking at any chance given. Blackpool went 1-0 up on 20 minutes after a through ball reached their striker who…
