Are ye wondering who ye will be playing in the 5th round?? Quayside are no mugs but judging by yer wins in Cork and Westport ye should have too much for them.

No Longshanks. Just keeping a record of all results for this year and was confused about that tie. No my style to take teams for granted. What sort of side are Quayside?

[fatboyslim]

I think that most Mayo officials are very Biased in connacht and fai cup games. mayo teams get anything thats going

[Longshanks]

link to the league tables on soccerbot: http://www.soccerbot.com/sldsl/tables/slpl2011.htm

I think they may have lost a player or 2 to Sligo Rovers A/U-20 teams

[Longshanks]

keeping an eye on the results/deaw meself, a lot of football to be played yet but this is how I see the last 8:

Leitrim/Hibs v East/St Pats - Hibs
Skyvalley/Yeats v Oranmore/Manor - Oranmore
Ballisodare/Ballygawley v Cliffoney/Boyle - Boyle
Shiven/Manulla v Castlebar/Ballyhane - Manulla
Westport/Corrib R v Dunmore/Ballyhaunis - Westport
Athenry/Mervue v Cartron/Salthill - Athenry
Quayside/Ballinasloe v OLBC/Erris - Ballinasloe
Carbury/Kilkerrin v Ballina/Strand - Carbury

apologies to all the teams I've burdened with the longshanks curse

[fatboyslim]

Shiven have a good chance against manulla this weekend. manulla out of season at moment which will be a big help. Shiven will be set up to defend and hit on the break. Can be hard to break down at home. struggling in league this year but may be able to lift themselves for cup

[badker]

I would go Hibs(cert), Skyvalley (home town decisions), Boyle(will have to do it the hard way), Castlebar (shiven with 2 home draws my be surprise package), Westport (cert), Mervue (upset going very well this season), Ballinasloe (Erris fresh and will be hard test but home draw advantage), Ballina (haven't seen carbury and Ballina play nice ball) .................................................. .......................... time will tell!

[historynut]

Updating records , realise have overlooked whom Athenry beat in 2007/08 final, can anyone help.

[badker]

Shiven Rovers 1-2 Manulla played tonight.

[dochara]

Athenry beat Mervue 1 - 0 at home this morning, the goal coming from an unmarked Simon Murray midway through the first half.

Would have thought Abbey beat Castlebar Celtic in Sligo under dykes that year if not mistaken correct me if I am wrong did Celtic not beat Athenry in Milebush in the semi final of that year.

[Longshanks]

Yes its made all the way to the final. I have the updated draw.


The way I have it the draw is as follows:

(Ballinasloe/Erris v Carbury/Ballina) v (Manulla/Ballyhane v Hibs/East)
(Ballisodare/Boyle v Athenry/Salthill) v (Skyvalley/Oranmore v Westport/Ballyhaunis)

[Longshanks]

best of luck to Ballinasloe, Hibs and Athenry at the weekend in the FAI Junior Cup, would be a great boost for Connacht football if all 3 could progress to the last 8 of the national competition. Ballinasloe at home to St Peters, Athenry away to Clonmel and Hibs away to Cavan town, all tough ties but all winable too

the Galway league is the strongest by a good bit, over the last 7 years they have provided 24 of the 56 quarter finalists, Sligo/Leitrim 13 of 56, Mayo 11 of 56 and Roscommon 8 of 56

[oneceltic]

think it will be Athenry, Westport, Ballinasloe and Manulla. With this there should be a Mayo team in the final and hopefully the winners!

[Longshanks]

I'll go with semis of:

Carbury v Hibs
Athenry v Westport

[swinfordfc]

Quarter Final
1. Boyle v Athenry
2. Oranmore v Westport
3. Ballinasloe v Carbury
4. Manulla v Galway Hibs

Semi Final 3 v 4, 1 v 2.

I go for Athenry, Westport, Ballinasloe Town and Manulla

[badker]

Connacht Cup Quarter Final between Ballinasloe Town v Carbury FC has been postponed today.

[badker]

Manulla 1v2Galway Hibs

[Gaillimh Al]

Oranmore 3 -3 Westport (Oranmore win 3-2 on pens)

[Thunderblaster]

Oranmore 3 -3 Westport (Oranmore win 3-2 on pens)

Game of two halves really. Ollie Keogh and Eric Lavine were a constant threat. Wind was a huge factor in the game. Unfortunately for Westport, the long famine continues. Would be great to win it after 25 years of hurt though!!

[badker]

Ballinasloe 3-2 Carbury AET

[Athenryboy]

CJC Semi Final Result:
Athenry 2-1 Oranmore
Athenry came through the semi final with a hard fought win over oranmore. Oranmore took the lead midway during first half , Athenry upped the pace for 20mins and replied with a Header by Emmet Byrne from a corner and a well took goal from Seamie Crowe. Athenry took the foot off the gas in the second half and held out for another final appearance, Oranmore also had a dubious penalty awarded by the notorious ref (vry suprised he was allowed ref a Connacht Cup Semi) 2 mins from time,but this was well saved by kieran kilkelly.

Anyone know where the final is supposed to be held or will it be decided after the B,Sloe vs Hibs game is played next weekend?
terryland again im sure..

[CRFC&SRFC]

Ive been reliably told all the Connacht Cup and Shield Finals, Underage and Junior will be played weekend of April 30th and May 1st in Athlone Towns Willow Park.

[swinfordfc]

Any time for them finals?

[historynut]

As this years final is going to be an all Co Galway affair would it not be wiser to hold final in Galway.

[Longshanks]

I got an email about the Cup and Shield finals for the underage, they are in Athlone on Sat 30th April/Sun 1st May:

Sat 12pm U-12 Shield St Josephs v Swinford
Sat 1pm U-16 Cup _________ v ________
Sat 2.30 U-14 Shield Merville v ___________
Sat 4pm U-18 Shield Barna v East

Sun 12pm U-12 Cup Salthill v Barna
Sun 1pm U-14 Cup Castlebar v Manulla
Sun 2.30 U-16 Shield Renmore v Corrib Celtic
Sun 4pm U-18 Cup Mervue v Salthill

Cant imagine they'd play 2 junior finals at the same venue on the same weekend as all those games

[CRFC&SRFC]

Sorry, I was wrong on this. Waiting Semi results in cup before it will be finalised. Lecarrow or Terryland the most likely

[badker]

Connacht Cup Semi Final
Ballinasloe Town v Galway Hibs
Sunday 24th April at 2pm in Ballinasloe.
