Let's hope that Connaught can put some thing together in promoting junior football which they represent

mayo teams have travelled all over con for games, and the most common whine is the state of pitches,changing rooms(if any) I think a conn league is a great idea , but evary team will have to meet certain standarts!!!

The super league is wide open now as ballina town lost to ballyheane 2-0, nice to see crossmolina record a win to make things interesting at the bottom of the table, celtic hammered claremorris 5-1, erris also won today.

It would be true to say that I have to agree with you, but grounds and conditions is up to each league. any changes would need it support from with in its own clubs
However the Connaught League could set higher standards, but in doing so it could end up with a league without its best teams.
Not EVERY League have the same conditions as ie. own there own grounds, or may not be in the position to get the land required.That is why some grounds are poorer than others,each league is charged with promoting football.
Its upto the foundations of football to make sure they are supporting Junior Clubs.
It is this area of the game has been let down,however the F.A.I. are moving in the right direction, but this is going to take along time for monies to pass down to junior clubs,as they sit at the bottom of the ladder.
So at the end of the day its down to each and every club to take on the responabillity of its own affairs.

that week is youth weekend in the cup,so its highly unlikely to have junior cup on that week end its than likely would be the week after.

ITS a funny old game, sometimes I wonder how some results are churned out,last week Ballyheane get roasted by Manulla. You would have thought you could put your house on Ballina..Not even Tom Kelly or Mossy could figure this one out. All I can do is link up with the two in Rocky's and see could we get a handle on it.
But what ever we conclude Well done to the Heane Army for causeing the upset.
And I can only say Westport must be happy and a winners medal will go to Ballintubber, by the man we all love!!!

Think it will be the 15th/16th September when the 1st Round takes place. The Munster area kicks of that weekend so I'm assuming the Connacht area will be the same weekend.

How good are Bangor Hibs. What is their pitch like. I know it is a long way from Cross. Is there a longer trip possible in this cup?

They're pretty good allright, very difficult to beat at home (still unbeaten there this season), pitch is quite narrow but quite good all the same. They play a good passing game and in Mikey Sweeney they have one of the best young strikers in the division.

**the grape vine** · 05/09/2007, 2:13 PM

just looking at this weeks fixture's,its goin to be a very tough day on sunday for celtic, all team's A-B-C all playing at the same time,even for a big club like celtic it will be hard to feild 3 strong teams at the same time!! and the u-21's playing on monday night..

**irishyop** · 05/09/2007, 2:38 PM

And 6 lads away on a stag, we asked for a deferral to either Sat or Sunday morning but we were told no games were to be changed, then we heard that the Fahy V Bangor match is changed. Not too happy. Going to be v hard to put teams together.

Not sure why to be honest, we requested weeks back to get 1 of the 3 games changed but the person would not change saying that no changes were to be made.
