I think its pretty clear, the draw I was given was full of errors. Two 6's in Round 2 is another 1, if I get another one I'll post it, but I'd say 90% of that draw is right.

[Longshanks]

Cheers Joe for the link to the Shield draw. they must be doing it round by round this year.

[Longshanks]

Anyone know what happened to West Utd? They didnt feature in the first round but appear to be in the Connacht Shield 1st round???

[Explicit]

Anyone know when round 3 is penciled in for?

[west awake]

Longshanks,west united are in a long running battle with their local fa,west have caught them out on numerous rules and arguments over the pass few years and made them look stupid and this was payback west entered the competition online and got word back to say their entry was accepted,then when the draw was made we were omitted and informed that connacht never recieved our entry from the galway fa,it was then 2 late to change the draw but we were informed if any team pulled out which they did we would be put in as a replacement but it never happened,as past winners on more than one occasion and having been runners up as recent as 2 years ago i think the club have been treated disgracefully,they will win the shield i have no doubt because they will want to give 2 fingers to the local fa!

[Longshanks]

Cheers for the heads up West Awake.

I was surprised to see them in the draw to be honest, it was only a couple of years ago that they were serious contenders for the FAI Junior cup. I see they are no longer in the top division in Galway, they must've lost a few players? Anyway best of luck in the Shield, hope to meet ye in the final :laugh:

[west awake]

If they had stuck together i've no doubt they'd of come close to winning an fai junior,6 of that team is now with mervue who won the league last year,the club was a shambles for the last couple of years,no training and just basically players turning up for matches,they got relegated last season despite beaten or drawing with all the top teams but they hardly picked up a point against teams in the bottom half,players were only turning up for the so called big games,they had to beat hibs to stay up in their last game who had to win to win the league it finished 1-1 with west been the far better team,the manager from the league winning team is back at the helm now and their training hard,their currenty top of the 1st division,if they get promoted i think you could see alot of the old lads back and they would be a force again!

[Longshanks]

any shocks on the cards for the 2nd round??

[The Don]

Has anyone got the updated 3rd round draw ( and by anyone I mean Joe ).

[fatboyslim]

I know its early days yet but who are peoples favourites this year. Athenry would have to be up their. How are castlebar this year. have they some LOI lads back.

[rava]

Has anyone the corrected 3rd round draw?

[Longshanks]

West losing to Loughrea in the Shield was a bit of a shock......anyone got the next round draw??

A few nice ties in the cup! Come on Kilmore :D

[Proton]

West losing to Loughrea in the Shield was a bit of a shock......anyone got the next round draw??
The idea any team losing in the Connaught Cup gets a second chance should have no complains :bulgy:

[Longshanks]

Proton

dont know where you are coming from? West Awake was saying that West Utd were on their way back to form after being relegated last year and he reckoned they would give the Shield a rattle this year as there was a mix up and the never got entered to the Connacht Cup. West were top of div 1 in Galway and Loughrea were top of div 3 in Galway, West were at home I thought it was a bit of a shock that they lost. It seems that West were not at full strength, but that is not Loughreas problem.

What club are you involved with???

[Proton]

I was not aware of west utd not in the main competition, however have learned the mix up appears to be with the club and the Galway league, regards A/b TEAM entry.
I do think the shield is a sham, because clubs can abuse this one, by fielding a weaken side in the main competition.

[rava]

I presume a lot of games are touch and go for the weekend.

[purplemonkeydis]

Conn Rangers 0-6 Athenry, deserved win.at half time 3 nil up with 2 own goals and a soft penalty. also in this half rangers hit the crossbar,post and the keeper pulled off a few great saves. "nd half different story conn died and athenry ran in 3 goals. If teams met midway through mayo season and conn at full strength would have been a tight game.but no excuses deserved winners

[Longshanks]

big win for Galway Hibs in Castlebar.

from what I can make out the 4th round is so far looking like:

Boyle v Barna
Manulla v NUIG
St Pats v Manor Rangers
Salthill v Moore United
Erris/Oughterard v Galway Hibs*
Erris/Oughterard v Urluar*
Cartron v Dysart**
Ballinaloe v Achill
Mervue v Castlerea

* two 85's in draw and no 83
** 67 v 67, imagine it should be either 67 v 87 or 87 v 67

[Longshanks]

Shield Quarter finals:

Medtronic v Ballyheane
Glenview/Leitrim Villa v Moy Villa/Ballygawley
Colemanstown v Real Tubber
Mulranny v Clew Bay/Loughrea

anyone care to predict a winner???

[shellyriver]

Manor Rangers and Real Tubber to get through to semis?

[shellyriver]

Sorry meant Ballygawley and Tubber re Shield.

What Sligo Leitrim team has best chance of getting farthest in Connacht Cup.

Winners of St Johns v Calry face Athenry. Nice!

[badker]

Was surprised to see Castlebar Celtic losing to Galway Hibs, was anyone at the game? Mervue and Castlerea should be a good game aswell.

Sure if ye(St Johns or Calry) win ye'll have Athenry at home.

I'm gonna tip Loughrea to win the Shield, they've travelled to and beat West Utd in the 1st round, although looking at the draw they'll have to do it the hard way. they're away to Clew Bay in 2nd round, winners away to Mulranny in 1/4ers, winners away to Medtronic/Ballyheane in semi.

Tubber and Ballygawley on same side of draw. I havent seen Glenview this year, but can be a handfull. I hear Leitrim Villa are very poor this season. We(Ballygawley) are very hit and miss and we havent faced Tubber yet in the league. Tubber seem to be always in contention for promotion from the Premier League.

Anyone care to to give some info on the Mayo and Galway teams left in the Shield??

[Longshanks]

Roscommon title looks to be a shoot out between Castlerea and Ballinasloe. Galway title looks to be Mervues to lose. Should be the tie of the round

[purplemonkeydis]

if ballyheane are still training they wont be bet

[Longshanks]

if ballyheane are still training they wont be bet

if they are still training fair play to them, be hard to keep going without regular games to play. I see Clew Bay finished a good bit ahead of Ballyheane in the league last year, how are their chances? What standard are Moy Villa at?

Yeah would love to play Athenry - saw them last year against Boyle Celtic -- good game.

Tubber played well against Galway Bohs, pretty much outclassed them throughout.

Glenview are a bit hit and miss also.

[QUOTE
St Johns v Athenry[/QUOTE]

Should be interesting - St Johns had a nice win over Calry Bohs.

The upcoming game will most likely be on Cleveragh Astro-turf, Athenry will be favourites but a big game for the Carraroe lads.

What Sligo Leitrim team will go farthest in Connacht Cup do you reckon Longshanks?

[Longshanks]

only guess work Shelly, but given that they are in the 4th round already with a home draw against a mid table Galway div3 team(Barna-Furbo) I'd say Boyle Celtic. no disrespect to Barna

Yeah, I suppose with win over Yeats utd - top of Sligo/L league tussle, Boyle should be in a good position.

Although relatively early -- would you predict quarter-finalists?

[oneceltic]

westport united vs corrib rangers this weekend. is a tough one to call, but think corrib will do the business, as westport are out of season and form and fitness could be out the window!!!
