Hi Lads,
Can anyone confirm that the Wembley/killester game was on at the weekend?
Heard some stories that Killester were beaten; if true, then that's a big shock.
(No disrespect to Wembley intended) !

[KevB76]

Wembley played Lawson Cup game this weekend - I think the FAI fixture is 12th March but not sure

[Dr Mad]

Killester were beaten at the weekend 1-0

But .... it was in a league match -v- O'Deveney.

ladbrokes i think are giving bigger prices on all them!!. west we'r 16/1 and devon I THINK we'r 5/1 +..... think 3/1 on the 1/4 on west is too good to refuse ill be taking that!

[galwayhoop]

how come all of the newspapers have the salthill v west game on a knife edge and mullhollands have west as serious outsiders at 3/1???

either team on penalties at 8/1 looks the bet to me!

[Gaillimh Al]

Game is on at 7.45 not 7.30. The media won't predict a winner cos don't want to be seen to be taking sides and trying to get a large crowd to the game. Plus West have been unfancied all year and have overcome a tough draw(away in last 3 ties). Salthill unquestionably have the better footballing team but West have great team spirit and determination.
If the 2 lads who were sent off in the last game were available the bookies would have priced it closer, but i think 3-1 is fair. Both players are Oscar Traynor players so it has to be a big loss.

[Trainee]

salthill devon beat west utd 6-5 after pens

[abbeyvale]

either team on penalties at 8/1 looks the bet to me!

Good Call Galwayhoop
Salthill won on pens tonight.

STATOIL F.A.I. JUNIOR CUP (Last 5)

1. Salthill Devon F.C.

2. St. John Bosco.

3. Wembly Rovers V Killester Utd.

4. Villa F.C.

[Gaillimh Al]

Was at the game. Salthill narrowly deserved to win against a dogged West Utd. West tried to stifle Salthill by playing 4-5-1 and it worked for the most part, but how they continued to play with 1 up front when Salthill had their right full sent off baffled me. I think a more positive approach could have got them a goal at that stage. Think they were more afraid of losing than going on and winning the tie.

Anyone else there?

[gilberto_eire]

ya just back im from claddagh so am alined to west!. i have to say they did play to negatively which resulted in possession/play wise them been played of the pitch but in chances they prob had the better chances!. in relation to the sendings off i think eugene did well to last as long as he did with caldwell pulling and kicking at him as agressively as he did and it was shocking to see how he wasnt even booked at any stage, then vinny o'connor got himself softly sent off wasnt been tugged or pulled at .MOD EDIT_Don't report something you didn't see_*****
i have to say i heard good things about vinny flaherty and was thinking that if he didnt go to ipswich he should be snapped up by us... I TAKE IT BACK. he's the most negative junior(FFS JUNIOR NOT A PRO, SUNDAY LEAGUE)footballer ive ever seen, he's the spit of ronaldo even the way he walks, goes over like a spaniard and is so theatrical on the ground..........cop on will ya, ya nancy boy your playing sunday football not even semi-pro... i can tell ya if he acts like that in a junior match with no crowd and linesman as soon as the ref. is turned he'd have a line waiting to clock him!.

3. Wembly Rovers V Killester Utd (March 11th)

4. Villa F.C. (Waterford)

Anyone else there?
as soon as salthill went down to 10 men,the instructions from the west bench were clear go 4-4-2,the lad that was told to go up front,just kept droppin back,so the they warmed there sub striker up to replace the lad that kept droppin back and just before he was to come on the west full back was dismissed,so then they withdrew a midfielder and brought on a full back,i know this cos i was stood behind the dugout and could hear what was going on,west have only lost once in 33 games playin 4-5-1 so you can't really blame the system for the defeat,it was a 50/50 game which i taught we(west) just about shaded,but you don't always get what you deserve,as wfta found out in the earlier rounds when we undeservedly went through.
best of luck to salthill in the rest of the competition!

[the hoops]

think killester will beat wembly 3or4 nill

[number16]

Was also at the game,West are a hard team to play against (on several fronts) - they set themselves out 4-5-1, have a couple of excellent headers of the ball, and are extremely dangerous from set plays - one of their midfielder has one of the longest and most accurate throw ins I ever seen.
Also credit to Salthill who stood up to these challenges and came out on top, good to see a Galway team in the semis.

[scoobysham]

wembley have a better chance than pike anyway.....

Wembley 1-4 Killester Result

[KevB76]

Hard luck Wembley - the scoreline was harsh, ye played better than the result suggests. Killester definitely had the upper hand in the first half, I missed the first goal (couldn't drag myself away from an intriguing FA cup match) but the second was a sickener - should have been a comfortable catch but ML misjudged the flight of the ball, couldn't scramble back to it in the muck as it landed just behind him and bounced in.
Wembley made a game of it in the second half, were unfortunate to concede a penalty early on. Despite that they fought back well, Tierney's goal was just reward for their efforts. Killester always looked dangerous on the counter-attack as Wembley pushed on, and they finally put one away in the dying minutes to make it 1-4. Killester deserved the win but the scoreline flattered them a bit. Well done to Wembley for making it this far :ball:

i was hoping wembley would come good but i think it was fairly obvious to everyone that they were on a hiding to nothing...

i mean they are a pretty bog standard 1a team and without the young fellas on their side they would be down with the likes of park this year in the 1a league..

prediction for wembleys season : just miss out on promotion
destined to spend eternity in the quagmire that is 1a football!!!!

[themerryman]

its true do ml is known to bottle the big ones, and rightly so he should be feeling bad ,he throw away any chance the might have had so its only right
he feels bad and shoulders the blame .average keeper in an average side.:(

A bit harsh. The season aint over yet cartman. Yee could easily be knocked off your high horse at the top of the league. Admittedly yee are in a great position, but to say Wembley are at the same level as Park???? Thats some bull your talking. Wembleys next league game is against yee. That should make a good game.

Jesus. Whats wrong with everyone today??????
Was only voicing my opinion.
He's a decent keeper. One of the better keepers in 1A.
And its still an honour to play for your city, joke or no joke.
Now lets all calm down and have a nice cup of tea.
