does anyone know the odds on the 3 teams left? it'll be an interesting semi final incastlebar. a real clash of styles. castlebar big srrong and well organised against a small pacy athenry side. will be interested to see if castlebar tighten the pitch in milebush to counteract athenrys pace. shouldn't be alot between both teams. castlebar are on a great run at the moment and athenry are consistently in the top 3 in galway for last few years. either way a final in galway is a huge incentive.
Try Ladbrokes - ususally have prices
since when you became judge on all things i have oppinion like it or lump it.Quote:

weekness dont like teams hitting them on the wings.try and get in behind dykes slow to back track.
he loves balls coming from centre postion he will clear them all day.
keeper can drop the odd clanger.
when things arent going his way he will lose it and start getting at his own players so play it tight at the back control mid field play to the wings with mid field coming to surport front runners.
Are the rumours true that the Final is now on the 21st May???
semi final between Castlebar and Athenry is on this weekend 30th April in milebrushQuote:

Yes best of luck to Celtic on sunday
it promises to be a good game allrite, ive played with a few of the castlebar lads and im sure we'll have a few bevvies after in rockys or where ever the footie local is now!
if the milebush pitch is still in as good condition as i remember it, both sides will give a good show!
Athenryboy, we'll have a couple allright after the game, hope to be there. you wont be able to miss me!

Think it's looking like another "June" Final
i dunno i hear its booked for terryland on 14th May. don't know how realistic that is. will the fai senior cup interfeer with the final? all 3 teams are still in it.
did anyone see the latest odds? i can't access betting sites on my work pc so i can't access ladbrooks!!! I pressume crystal are favourites followed by celtic with athenry the outsiders. however that could change if athenry win on sunday as they'd have a home final.
The Final will not be on the 14th because of the Intermediate Fianl on that day. I also heard Castlebar (presuming they win) & Crystal will be unavailable to play on Sunday 21st because of family communions and the FAI senior Cup is on the 28th so that rules that weekend end out.Quote:

Still cant understand why its not on the 14th, the junior cup & intermediate cup teams dont interfer with each other in any way (is it that the FAI want a two day free drinking session rather than the one?)
don't see why not on a saturday. however family communions isn't much of a reason! the whole country prob have communions around the same time. then it'll be confirmations..graduations....weddings. we'll never get a game played!! mite have a different opinion when i have a few sprogs!!!Quote:

In the early exchanges too chances by joe murnagher failed to find the net
since ealy exchanges Athenry are well on top.
Celtic need to tighten up at mid field.
