Two questions to hit the forumites. Was there ever two Connacht sides in the Semi Final of the FAI Junior Cup? Was there a FAI Junior Cup Semi Final without a Dublin Club? My inclination to an answer on both would be no, but can anyone correct me on that?
carew got their game called off today against balla today
Ya carew goty there game called off against balla so we played them instead!!!!
Should be a good game next week in jackman park...carew v westport
Common sense prevailed.Originally Posted by widow
I dont know the answer to the first But certainly the second 2002 Fairview beat Peakvilla 3-2 in the Semi and st Michaels beat Ballananty 2-1 I think after a replay if memory serves me right..Fairview won the final after a replay 5-2 in the fairgreen..thats recent years..Surely it has happend in the past also but 2002 is certainly the most recent
Anyone know when the Draw for the FAI Senior Cup is on?
Waterford crystal were getting bet 3-1 by a poor johnville team with five minutes remaining and came back to win 4-3.
3 points on the board for Crystal
Just about, getting bet by johnville with five minutes left. Had yee the youth team out??
Galway Hibs were shocked 1-0 at home to crack Sligo outfit, Abbey United in the quarter final of the Connacht Cup, while Westport United beat Gurteen Celtic 2-0 away in the sixth round of the Connacht Cup. Stories from a reliable source in Westport suggest that a number of players are struggling for fitness for Sunday and a couple of key players were out on Sunday through injury. Haven't heard any squad rumours from Galway yet.

Junior Cup draw announced
Clubs from Munster and Connacht will clash in the last four of the FAI Junior Cup after the semi-final draw was made last night.
Packie Bonner and Don Givens oversaw proceedings with Waterford Crystal and Galway Hibs first out.
Waterford Crystal reached the final in 1998 and have an excellent record against Galway teams; disposing of Salthill Devon on two occasions in recent seasons.
In the other semi, Limerick’s Carew Park will be at home to Westport United.
The trophy has resided in Limerick for six of the past eight years, due to the exploits of an all-conquering Fairview Rangers side.
The holders relinquished their crown earlier in the season, although Limerick’s involvement in the last four was assured when Ballynanty were paired with Carew in the previous round.
In last Sunday’s all-Limerick tie a hat-trick from Carew’s Albert Slattery was enough to send them through.
Westport defeated Killester in their last eight match.
The final has been provisionally fixed for May 8 at Turners Cross.
Sunday 27th of March, 2005
Match................................ Home.... Draw... Away
Carew Park vs Westport Utd...6/4........11/5......6/4
Galway Hibs vs Waterford C... 6/4....... 11/5.....6/4
I fancy Westport (they were class against Pike) and a draw after 90 in the other tie.€10 double gives me €80....happy days.
Who are Bonagee United? Where are they from? Is it a euphemism (bone a gee)?
HAHAHAHAHA
You're living up to your name anyways Bluemovie!!
I am a Limerick man, and would love to see Carew get there.Auld Martin Reddan would have a field day. But hand on heart, I can't see Westport being beaten by them on Sunday. They play summer soccer, and are stepping up on their training the last few weeks since they beat Pike, and I really thought that Pike team was good enough to go on and win it.Westport annhilated them that day, and are getting better. 2-0 to Westport me thinks.
Wouldn't really 'support' any Junior clubs, but a mate of mine is managing Pike 'B' and I suppose Pike, partly because of their generosity to Senior soccer these past couple of seasons, would get my vote.
I was involved with a now sadly defunct junior club called Wanderers for many many years...until the corporation built a f***ing golf course on our pitches and put us out of business.....but I'm not bitter....
if final is on at cross it would be great to see all munster final, crystal versus carew park
Bonagee United are a Donegal side that plays in the Ulster Senior League. I have no idea what part of the county they are from and know nothing else about them.
