@Shelly

I like the advertising hoarding ye've put up on the roundabouts for yer game against Athenry. I hope to get in to see a bit of it and then head up to Ballymote for their FAI tie with Carrick

Cheers, trying to drum up a bit of interest -- probably will become museum pieces

Hang around til half time -- coffee etc being served, whooa!

Connaught Shield Quarter-Final
Saturday 21st January
Venue: Cleaveragh Astro-turf pitch

Leitrim Villa 2 - 4 Ballygawley Celtic (aet)

At a cold and windy Cleaveragh Sports ground in Sligo, Leitrim Villa
put up a gutsy but ultimately unsuccessful challenge against Premier
League outfit Ballygawley Celtic in the quarter-finals of the
Connaught Shield. After an even start, Ballygawley took the lead on 20
mins with an unfortunate own goal. Leitrim battled back strongly
however and equalised shortly after through an indirect free kick from
Niall Beirne, then took the lead shortly after following a smart
finish from Eunan Treacy. Just before half time, Ballygawley were
awarded a penalty which was brilliantly saved by Mark Chandler,
allowing Leitrim Villa to go into the break 2-1 up. Following the
restart, it was a nip and tuck affair, with both sides creating
chances until Ballygawley got their equaliser with less than 20 mins
to go. 2-2 remained the final score until full time, with the match
going into extra time. Early into the first ten minutes of extra time,
Ballygawley score their third goal and added a fourth in the second
period. Great all round performance by Leitrim, in a match that could
have gone either way, and we wish Ballygawley the best of luck in the
next round. Next match scheduled is away to Carrick Town on the 29th,
with a 2pm kick-off.

Leitrim Villa team: Mark Chandler, Luke Donnellan, Conor O'Brien, Gino
McPartland, Stephen Sheeran, Niall Beirne, Niall Maxwell, Rafa
Numancek, Brian Gilroy, Alan Gaffney, Eunan Treacy. Subs used: John
Farrell form Brian Gilroy, Luke McTiernan for Alan Gaffney, Enda
Maxwell for Niall Maxwell.

athenry beat st johns 4-0 . What was a good game was spoiled by a refs decision to send off one of the st johns players for nothing. Said it was for violent conduct but even the athenry player said that he didnt touch him(fair play to a sporting athenry team) Was 0-0 after half an hour when red card was given but was not a contest after.
Best of luck to Athenry.

Any dates for shield semis known yet lads ?

[Longshanks]

Dunno yet Southern Red, when the updated Shield draw was released the quarters were down for the 18th/19th Feb and the semis for the 7th/8th April, but as you can see there has not been too much heed passed to them so far.

Which club are you involved with??

[southern red]

with the semi..
