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:
