Anyone up for making a double header of it? Take in the Harps game on Friday as well?

[Terry]

Tempting, but no can do.

Any chance of a race to Galway if anyone's going down on Saturday?

Only if the bicycle gets a 1 day head start.

We could resort to Brainiac levels of 'science' and strap a rocket to the bike. I don't guarantee your safety though.

Salthill have qualified to this stage before by the way,just to correct myself.

There's no stand in Drom..just 4 pitches.It's in the back arse of nowhere aswell.....ye'd have fun finding it if any of ye drive.No chance it'll be played there.

Interesting...

Was thinking more along the lines of plane/bus/train as per Cork.

Looks like our tie with Harps is confirmed for the Friday night, so you'll probably be on Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon.

Expect an attendance in line with your home games and lots of mohair suits. Salthill have been huge beneficiaries of very well placed contacts in the Fianna Fail party and sent a very strongly worded e-mail about which way to vote last week.

Anyway your form is good. Don't I recall your accounting for Mervue United at the same stage in the same venue a couple of years ago? (0-1).

And the weather couldn't possibly be as unforgiving as on your visit on May 18th. could it.......

Devon have 6 players with League of Ireland experience(none of them set the world alight obviously) and 4 or 5 in the squad from the victorious U-21's. Vinny Faherty is their star player, having scored for the Junior International team and was in the U-21 League squad that went away recently. Been on trial with Ipswich Town.

Their ground is a wonderful facility with 4 top quality pitches and 8 all-weather 5-a-side cages and 1 half size astro pitch. Only problem is, as was pointed out, it's in the middle of nowhere and very exposed to the elements. They have big plans out there to one day try and become a League of Ireland side, but I can't see that happening myself.

There's no sense in having two league clubs in the Galway city area.

Saturday evening would be sweet, Saturday afternoon sweeter, Sunday afternoon would be ok but would likely involve more of a rush to get back.

If by "couple of years ago", you mean 1984/85, then yes, 2-1.

You'd have an hour and a half to make the 6:15 train, which gets into Heuston at 9. The last bus leaves Eyre Square at 8:25 and gets in midnight, so there's at least no likelihood of getting stuck in Galway.

Anyone on for visiting the Aran Islands on the Saturday before the game?

FAI Senior Cup - 2nd Round Draw
Salthill Devon drew UCD in the second round of the FAI Senior Cup - all games to be played the weekend of June 17th. Big Question for Salthill is can they play the game at Drom? Stevie Haynes and Paul Reidy are busy preparing for another shock....

That's on Salthill's website but not dated. I take it the venue and date haven't been set then?

Sunday afternoon kick offs are usually 3:15, leaving you just over an hour to make a 6:15 train. Will still be OK but probably wouldn't have time for a pint after the game or anything.

No.

[Poor Student]

I e-mailed the club, they said they don't know about venue or date and to e-mail again on Friday.

[pineapple stu]

Which club?
