Connacht Junior Cup 2012/2013

[stan]

Ya was thinking the same thing, Bohs and ourselves (Tuam celtic ) won our opening games.. so it must be a combination of a few 2nd round ties and any outstanding ist round.. Im sure Mr Friel could clarify this for any clubs!

2nd Round

[Longshanks]

the following games featuring Sligo/Leitrim teams are down for the 28th October, all bar the last one are 1st round games

Glenhest Rovers v Aclare Celtic
Kiltimagh /Knock Utd v M.C.R.FC
Achill Rovers v Merville United
Easkey United v Snugboro United
St PatricksvGlenview Stars
Arrow Harps vGurteen Celtic 2nd Round

[Longshanks]

I was looking at the draw, there will be 29 teams in round 2. The top divisions come in at the 3rd stage - 10 from Roscommon, 10 from Galway, 8 from Mayo and 11 from Sligo(Carbury have folded)

It looks as though the 2nd round might have a load of byes in it if there are to be 64 teams in the 3rd round. It would be something like 4 2nd round games and 21 byes = 25 + 11 + 10 + 10 + 8 = 64 teams

have I too much time on my hands???


given that there are 3 2nd round ties announced, Barna v Strokestown, Galway Bohs v Tuam Celtic, Arrow Harps v Gurteen......and if the above guess of how to end up at 64 teams for the 3rd round is correct....anyone know the other 2nd round tie??????????

[Longshanks]

another week rolls by and no sign of the 2nd round draw

[shellyriver]

another week rolls by and no sign of the 2nd round draw

Presume they are going to be on Nov 11th at the earliest?

Boyle along with City -v- Carton play in FAI Junior on Nov 4th so this is taking priority.

[Longshanks]

from what I can gather this is the state of affairs with hte Connacht Cup so far: 6 outstanding 1st round ties:
Glenhest Rovers v Aclare Celtic
Killala v Maree/Oranmore
Kiltimagh/Knock Utd v MCR
Achill Rovers v Merville
Easkey v Snugboro
St Pats v Glenview


one 2nd round tie:
Arrow Harps v Gurteen

two 2nd round results:
Barna w/o v scr Strokestown
Galway Bohs 5 - 3 Tuam Celtic

[Longshanks]

I seen on the Galway FA site that Crumlin v Ballygawley is down for the 18th, it must be a 2nd round tie too

[Round Tower]

two 2nd round results:

Galway Bohs 5 - 3 Tuam Celtic

Killala V Maree/Oranmore is fixed for this Sunday at 2pm, there is no word of the other 1st round ties involving Mayo teams when they will be played.

[Longshanks]

The whole thing is a bit of a mess, 2 teams are into the 3rd round already, and there are 6 outstanding 1st round ties???? nobody seems to know what the 2nd round draw contains.

[Round Tower]

Due to administrive error by the goverening body the Killala V Maree/Oranmore match is off tomorow,its supposed to be fixed for next Sunday the 18th,its the 3rd time its has been postponed and nothing to do with the weather.

[michaelc99]

does anyone know what stage were at now and is the draw made????

[Round Tower]

These are Roound 1 fixtures for next Sunday,our fixture has been postponed 3 times and it has nothing to do with the weather
Connacht Junior Cup-----Round 1
Glenhest Rovers v Aclare Celtic - 2.00pm
Killala v Maree/Oranmore - 2.00pm
Kiltimagh/Knock Utd. v M.C.R. F.C. - 2.00pm
Achill Rovers v Merville Utd. - 2.00pm
Easkey Harps v Snugboro Utd. - 2.00pm

[Longshanks]

one 2nd round tie:
Arrow Harps v Gurteen

two 2nd round results:
Barna w/o v scr Strokestown
Galway Bohs 5 - 3 Tuam Celtic

Also on the Galway FA site we(Ballygawley) and down to play Crumlin away this weekend(this must be a 2nd round tie???) eventhough we have a league fixture

[Longshanks]

I was looking at the draw, there will be 29 teams in round 2. The top divisions come in at the 3rd stage - 10 from Roscommon, 10 from Galway, 8 from Mayo and 11 from Sligo(Carbury have folded)

have I too much time on my hands???

I think this could be the case:

two 2nd round results:
Barna w/o v scr Strokestown
Galway Bohs 5 - 3 Tuam Celtic

and

Arrow Harps v Gurteen
Crumlin v Ballygawley

would seem to be the 2nd round ties, there could be 21 byes to round 3.....but I could be wrong

[Longshanks]

Looks like they included Carbury in the draw. (Have they folded?)
Meaning 3rd Round is made up of 5 2nd round games and 19 byes = 24 + 12 + 10 + 10 + 8 = 64 teams

The 5th 2nd Round game appears to be
Cliffoney v Medtronic

yeah Joe, Carbury are gone so Yeats effectively have a bye to the 4th round.....Boyle v Skyvalley and Ballina Town v Mervue look like the pick of the ties. The full draw is usually released when the 3rd round is done, or have I got that wrong??

[michaelc99]

cheers longshanks is that the 3rd round draw you have posted and do u know the dates for these games tks.

Any chance of Ballisodare upsetting Castlebar?
How do ye fancy ye're chances against Crumlin? What are they like?

[Longshanks]

Was looking at the Mayo Super League table, Castlebar finished 2nd - 12pts behind Westport, and played their last league game over a month ago, the 3rd round is fixed for the 19/20th Jan 2013, so Castlebar may not be very match fit & sharp by then, and home advantage to Ballisodare, I'd give them a good chance of upsetting Castlebar.......Ballisodare will have a tough ask this weekend away to Ballinasloe in the FAI

Crumlin are mid table in Div 1 in Galway, although they are only 2pts off the top, it looks like a tight league, we are very hit and miss, much more miss than hit, but if we can get a decent squad to travel we might have a chance

Well best of look, hopefully ye will be hit on sunday.:)

Ya, we have a tough game Sunday, should be a good test for us against quality opposition, we got hockeyed 5-1 down there a few years ago. Hopefully will be competitive this weekend

we beat Ballinsloe down there a few years back on pens, with 9 men....our reward was to get an 8-0 hammering by Pike Rovers in the next round. If ye win ye avoid City and Boyle, but are away to Roscommon, ye could have a very interesting month or two in the cups ahead

Wow, that was some result, i'm sure that was a memorable trip. Them days the reason we get out of bed on a sunday morning. Hopefully we can produce a performance like that.
Would be great to get a run in the cups, but staying as high up the league will be our priority, we've a young side and have been very inconsistent so far

Castlebar Celtic will more than likely will be progressing into the open draw fo the FAI junior cup,weplayed them in the junior a couple 2 weeks ago and knowing them they will be looking to go along way. They have anear full sixe Asto-turf pitch,2 teams they will be hard team to beat. Westport will be very hard beat again,ran away with the superleague in Mayo this year.

Dunno Badker, they usually do the whole draw at the 3rd round stage, but that is all I got in an email, Joe might know more, he is usually good for that info

Anyone know if there is any truth that the Connacht Senior League is restarting this year? Rumoured to be 14 teams interested

[Patrick Dunne]

The FAI would like to see the establishment of a Connacht Senior League as a precursor to one Galway team being entered into the LOI.

Galway United Supporters Trust would be interested in entering a team on this basis. Who are the other 13 teams ?

[fatboyslim]

All the usual suspects plus galway& Sligo b or c teams plus 2 from CCFL

[badker]

Enquiries are being made to gage interest. This was tried before but from what i hear things are more positive this time. If all going well could start early next September.

A bit of history all the old connaught senior league tables!http://www.flickr.com/photos/connacht-seniorleague/
