Darragh Concannon made it two up to the break. Paul Kennedy got one back and MArk O'Brien made it 3-1 on 89 minutes. Ros missed a penalty as well.
what ground do roscommon play their home game in? what is shiven rovers ground like? all connaught youth cup finals are there this yearQuote:

we had to play on the back pitch last weekend, the main pitch wasn't up to a match, the 2nd pitch was in great shape, given the conditions last weekend around Galway. I was surprised yesterdays game went ahead on it
great result to the ros league that ward fella is some athlete boxer, gaelic footballer and soccer player all at very decent levels.
Hopefully the FAI will start doing something about underage around there now(and i know there is an officer there already)
Just over a week to go to the semis, any Predictions?
AUL v Mayo
Roscommon v Cork AUL
One other thing.....
Has it ever happened that two Connacht sides made the semis and can someone tell me who was the last Connacht side to win it and when?
Has there been dates/times and places set for these games??Quote:

aul are favourites but i would not write this mayo squad off, best and most committed squad in years.
Roscommon v Cork is on the 15th, again at Shiven Rovers grounds.

Good luck to the Mayo and Roscommon teams this weekend - great to see a Connacht final :D

Lads,
My brother is on the panel so I hope they can win the long overdue Cup. 1960 something since we won it. The rest of us always up against it with the Dubs, but lets hope one of the three of us do it. We are missing a few too so it should be close............otherwise we are going on strike in Cork!!!
Mayo to win by one, cork to win comfortably.
Looking forward to seeing the dubs getting beaten :D

Roscommon 1 - 2 Cork Aul
well done to both AUL's where is the final gonna be held?
Turnus Cross would be filled to the max for this @ 10 euro a boy:p
Brilliant game in Shiven, Cork went in front with an excellent free kick before Roscommon pulled one back. Then Cork were awarded a penalty which looked a bit dodgy but from there Roscommon threw the kitchen sink at Cork. Should have been awarded a penalty but ref missed the handball. Ros also had two shots cleared off the line. I'm gutted to be honest with ye but well done to Cork AUL and the best of luck to them in the final. Nice bunch of lads, met them after the game. Their keeper had a stormer too. Hope ye go on and win it now.
who scored for Ros?!
Next year lads and all that.....
How would Cork AUL compare to some of the MSL teams down there? Such as UCC, blarney etc?
In my opinion, from a non-premier club (First division), our top Premier sides would only struggle against the top 3 MSL sides. No danger of relegation from the Premier, but Avondale, Rockmount and Douglas Hall may be a step ahead. They would stand upto UCC & Blarney ok I believe.Quote:

Oscar Taynor Cup Final
Sat 7th March
Cork AUL vs Dublin AUL @ Ferncarraig Park Wexford
Just on to say best of luck to the Cork Aul gonna be atough game but as seen in all the previous rounds ye have the mentality and capabality to win.
Side note why in the blue flu is it on here?
Half way??? Tis the same journey if not longer from Cork to Wexford as to Dublin. If a toss was made an Cork had won ther would have been a great crowd at it, lots of local and passing intrest down here for it, I bet the same up in Dublin by having the game here the Fai have taken out a massive intrest
thats not like the FAI to get it wrong:rolleyes:
Best of luck to the cork lads in todays final!!:ball:
