Following the Connacht Cup, Westport United would surely be kicking themselves. With what is left in the competition, Westport would have had a great chance of winning the competition on their day:( .
Give it up Thunderblaster, Mervue Utd and Athenry would both wipe the floor with Westport. They had their day in the limelight 2 years ago. Im afraid that is the last you will hear of Westport....Good spot for a weekend away though if thats any consolation??
If you want to get drunk or get laid!!!:D :p :DQuote:

What are you basing it on? You're fantasies?
i wouldnt say any side would wipe the floor with westport as they are a good footballing side, that have proven their quality.
In relation to Mervue , yesterdays result was a big suprise as nine time out of ten mervue would have no problem in brushing corrib rangers aside. Rangers done very well last year under previous management ;) , but have fallen away this season and were in trouble until recent results. As much as i hate to say it Mervue are one of the best sides around although there record of getting out of galway in the last few years is pretty awful in the FAI, which a lot of people cant understand.
In my experience Athenry have a good record against any mayo side we've faced , win lose or draw the football is always good from both teams and we are more than a match for any side.
I Think Athenry Will Win It Now,great Result Yesterday,they've A Tough One Against Abbey But U Can Be Rest Assured The Winners Will Come Out Of That Semi Final!
Even Though I Would Love To See Corrib Rangers Win It!
Going for an Abbey United V Corrib Rangers final.
With the Connaught Cup down to the last 4, pleased to see that it generates so much interest. Would anyone mind if I ask does any one have a full list of previous finals. Have a hobby of collecting records on Junior/Intermediate Leagues and Cups. Been trying for ever to get details on Con Cup. Believe there have been 78 finals since 1928/29.Think I have details of 44 finals(though some need to be confirmed, and scores missing for some), think I have 11 winners only, and 1 final runners up known. Have been making contact with some people but no joy. Also looking for details re now defunct Connaught Senior League/Senior Cup. Even if you dont know all finals but know ones which your club were involved in that might help. A BIG THANKS FOR ANY INFO FORTHCOMING.
ANYONE KNOW WHEN THESE ARE PLANNED. Is final venue pre-determined ? or depends on outcome ? All Sligo-Sligo, All Galway-Galway, Sligo/Galway nuetral (Milebush ?) or home venue of fIRST TEAM IN FINAL ? Thanks
Both semis are on 22nd April at 2.30
Abbey v Athenry in Sean Fallon Park and Carbury v Corrb Rangers in Ray MacSharry Park. 2 games within 200 yards of each other.
I may be biased but i fancy an all Sligo final. The abbey/athenry game is too close to call and would have made a better final. Carbury are on form lately and although Corrib have taken a couple of good scalps in the last 2 rounds i reckon home advantage will tell.
Whoever wins the abbey/athenry game will have home advantage in final but not at their own venue, usually the main venue for local finals. Ray MacSharry Park for Sligo and not sure but Terryland park for Galway
Where in Sligo are those grounds. Thought main Junior ground was beyond Abbey ruins, did'nt realise if that is one the venues mentioned, there was another one close bye
You're right about the main one (Ray MacSharry Park). If you turn right from the ground into cranmore there is another pitch to the right hand side. Abbey Utd play there along with City UtdQuote:

Would you know much about the S&L league?

Wheres Glenviews normal pitch ? Would you know if they go back to the 1920's. Book on History of the Rovers gives penpics of players at first Conn Final states some are ex Glenview players. Appreciate your reply above
Only one team wiped the floor with Westport United over the last five years and that was Killester United.Quote:

No, actually closer to the city centre. If you know where Markievicz House is then you are very closeQuote:
