Well done to Athenry, the team with the 'poor' defence and 'bad' goalkeeper! Kieran brought off two stunning saves in the second half and the 'poor' defence has only conceded 13 goals in 17 games!
Roll on Tuesday for Part 2 of the double. Corrib Rangers must be favourites as they only need a draw but these Athenry lads can score. Their new strip brings a touch of Barcelona class to the 'Fields'.
Congrats to all involved with Athenry, thats a fair achievement winning it 3 times in 4 years.....just goes to show that 'experience' can make up for a 'poor' defence and a 'bad' keeper........
'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
thanks longshanks,although its funny how we have the best defense in the galway league with only 13 conceded all season, and only 3, maybe 4 goals conceded in the whole Connaught Cup Run.
doesnt strike me as being a poor defence, but we are all entitled to our own opinions
Athenryboy, I wasnt saying anything about yer keeper/defence, just as you mentioned somebody else posted on here about yer 'weaknesses'..... You win nothing with a 'poor' defense and a 'bad' keeper, infact you'd lose more than win no matter how good your attack is. Congrats again, will ye retain it???Originally Posted by Athenryboy

sorry longshanks, i got the wrong end of the stick on that post.
I wouldnt even think of looking that far ahead, We have our biggest game of the season sunday against Corrib Rangers to decide the Premier League.
We are 2 points behind after all our games in hand played, (15 behind at one point) and its down to the last game of the season in Athenry on Sunday. Should be a belter!
The celebrations were fairly muted last saturday , which was tough but once this game is over sunday, we'll celebrate, hopefully with another trophy.
Congrats to all it is nice to see a former legend of ours see win it, sound lad does his when ever he is home, when u see him send on our congrats to Niall Thomas.
Cheers round tower, ill pass it on to niall tomorrow.
Four zip to Athenry I hear. Congratulations on a third Premier Division title in four years
A great result from a team that were written off four months ago!!
