Would any team be interested in coming to Cork playing a tournament on August bank Holiday weekend being run as part of SpóirtFest 2011 in Cork over the August Bank Holiday Weekend. Give us a shout if you are interested.

Why is the Connacht Junior Cup Final being held in rural County Roscommon (Lecarrow) which is 78 km. from Ballinasloe and 74 km. from Athenry, yet the competing clubs are only 46 km. from each other? Just because Ballinasloe (situated in County Galway) choose to play in the Roscommon League rather than their own county league shouldn't mean that two Galway teams have to travel to Roscommon where locals will have little or no interest in the game. Daft decision (not for the first time).:rolleyes:

Where would you like it to be played? in the big City in Terryland. Sure why not play it in Loughrea! Ballinasloe have always played in the Roscommon League. It makes sense geographically, so they don't have to travel distances every second week to matches. Plus its none of your business what league they play in. Terryland has had its fair share of finals over the years. Its the Connaucht Cup not the Galway Cup, so every County is entitled to a fair share of final venues. Roscommon is well over due a final, so its not a daft decision. The Roscommon locals as you call them have an interest in the game. There will be a big crowd at the match. I hope you enjoy your day out in rural Roscommon!!! :) Bring change for the toll bridge.
