Ballinasloe must be delighted with their draw, how have Loughrea even managed to get this far? Has anyone seen them play?

Can't wait for the 19th of may, Hopefully it will be a classic with the port coming out on top,wouldn't be surprised to see it going to penos.

Westport deserved the victory against mervue last sunday.
Mervue had two clearcut chances and westport had 5-6 efforts that should have won it for them.
I think they played more of the football that was on display against a decent mervue team as well.
A good final awaits hopefully with a big crowd there too.

Its the final day of the Premier League and Galway v Mayo is also on. This will affect the attendance.

topclass

24/04/2013, 6:29 PM

It wont affect the crowd from westport ..they always travel in big numbers and most would not be gaa followers any way . Id say ballinasloe will have a big crowd aswell ,not to familiar with lecarrow but can it facilitate a big crowd ..whats parking like around the place and is it easy to get to ?

Sheep Farmer

24/04/2013, 7:54 PM

Lecarrow pitch is between roscommon town and athlone rigjt along side th msin road. Two very nice average to large sized pitches. Sand based and clay based pitches. Parkin for about 60 100 cars. Very open pitches with no cover and thete are no stands ?

Hoping it will be Westport but going to be a tough game, Ye are having a good season on all fronts, Won't be surprised if only 1 goal decides the game,do ya still reckon ye'll hammer us ;)

Kane

05/05/2013, 1:22 PM

I was only Rising ye..:) i dont think theres a Team in the Country that Would Hammer westport...very strong at the back..the Odd goal is right..two best Teams Reached final...is Center half for ye suspended?

HuggieBear

05/05/2013, 1:39 PM

No as far as i no the two clubs have agreed to let the two players that were suspended play in the final, It was are right back that was suspended for us and think it was a defender for ye, Right thing to do i think, What ya think. Whats the pitch like for the final. Have ye any injuries

Kane

05/05/2013, 1:45 PM

Oh Thais fair enough..semi finals of ros Cup are usually Played there but they are being Played elsewhere this Year..Must be Big work going on on Pitch..surface is usually Fine.i expect it will be Fine for final.Huge pitch.

05/05/2013, 1:51 PM

Would it be as big as milebush in mayo, Ye in semi final on monday, we played are last game before the final last night. Lets hope its a cracker off a game with a Westport win ;)

Kane

05/05/2013, 2:05 PM

Bigger id Say..ye will have Lots of Rest so hopefully.:) Hope it dont go to pens..no Team deserves to lose that Way..90 mins will Settle it i think ...for Bsloe hopefully.

Longshanks

07/05/2013, 2:04 PM

Kane,

i played in Lecarrow and Milebush last year and reckon Milebush is a good bit wider, mightnt be much in it lengthwise but Milebush is like a car park, its that big

Kane

07/05/2013, 6:45 PM

Was it the near pitch or main one ya played on?..I played on both reckon lecarrow is bigger..mile bush is a carpet that's the main diff!

Hard luck Westport. Ye have a fantastic side and a credit to yer club. Ye will be back to win a Connacht cup again in the very near future. This competition had been Ballinasloe's main aim for the past 9 years. It was a long time coming. This means so much to so many people. Hope keeper makes a speedy recovery.

Kane

21/05/2013, 8:56 PM

No doubt ye will, ye have a young side and I think ye will be around for a while. In fairness 2nd half was westports, ye got caught on counter-attack.losing your keeper was a key turning point!

badker

It was very competitive final with two evenly matched teams. Definitely the best two teams in Connacht. There are some excellent players on both sides which made for an enjoyable final to watch. At ht time i was hoping the officials wouldnt ruin it by sending someone off. There were a lot of bookings in the 1st half. Fair play to Westport who came for a couple of pints after being invited. Nice bunch of players managed by two sound lads. Best of luck to them starting out there new season.
