where is Abbey utd from???? or is this the abbey utd thats in the galway 4th division???
abbey currently sligo super league champions, from cranmore in sligo. best team in sligo by far. If abbey get past dynamo blues then corrib or mervue will not find it easy in cranmore. Should be a cracker thoughQuote:

I think Corrib Rangers will meet Abbey United in the semi finals and go on to play Castlebar Celtic in the final. Based on not very much really.
Lads Corrib Rangers beat the holders Mervue Utd 2-1 aet yesterday morning...They have now beating the Irish champions Westport Utd and Connaught champions Mervue Utd in the cup this season
My money is definately on Rangers to lift there first Connaught cup this season

I think that it will be business as usual. I think everyone is getting tired of this Noel Kennedy/Pat Quigley/Castlebar Celtic spat. Whether Celtic are right or wrong, applaud them and let their opponents deal with them. They are Mayo's best hope for a big prize this season. You are a Mayo man and a soccer man, so get behind them.Quote:

Thunderblaster has made a very good observation there, although Corrib Rangers are relative nobodys in the Connacht Junior game if their Juvenille record is anything to go by then their current good run is long overdue. The majority of this team has a minimum of 3 Connacht cup winners medals & i know i'm going back a few years here but i know 2 were against Charlestown.
However i would have to add that if the new boys are going to do it then they 'll have to do it the hard way, they are certainly in the tougher side of the draw, after disposing of the Mayo & Galway kingpins they'l now face Sligo's top team AWAY! Even if that hurdle is overcome its likely that Salthill, Castlebar or Ballinsloe will come along and burst they're bubble.
So to some up its great to see they finally got their house in order, new management i believe, a new team on the connacht junior scene is always welcome, however i'd reckon this year's silverware is going elsewhere.
:confused: CASTLEBAR or BALLINSLOE :confused:
Corrib will play Abbey utd in the next round.Abbey beat Dynamo blues 2-0.Abbey controled the game from start to finish.Castlebar Celtic beat Arrow Harps 4-0 in McSharry park.
Manulla beat S+F Utd 3-0 yestarday also

What type of team have Salthill anyone know
they are the most unpredicatable team in galway
on paper they have the players to challenge Corrib Rangers + Mervue at the top of the league but for some reason they are so inconsistent
they have lost the last 2 games against bad opposition and are now playing Waterford Crystal this weekend in the irish cup and they will probably win that game when they shouldnt
They don't like the aggressive game so if ye play that way ye will take them
Cheers Gazz.Ya, the tie is on hold pending on their result next weekend.
My semi finalists are: Manulla V Castlebar Celtic and Salthill Devon V Corrib Rangers and the final to be between Corrib Rangers and Castlebar Celtic.
I hear Arrow Harps have lodge a protest against Castlebar Celtic game on Sunday last.Quote:

Monday senior council will make a decission on Crew v Celtic which I think Celtic will win.
Colemanstown v West Utd on this weekend. any opinions oh how it go?
Colemanstown should win it handy enough
