lads do any of ye know what league the team carew park drew in fai senior cup st peters athlone are in or a link belong to them thanks lads
St Peter's of Athlone play in the Leinster Senior League. I think they would be a Division One side in it. Their pitch is situated on the Ballinasloe side of Athlone (approx two-three miles from Athlone), off the main road. It is called McCarthy Park and it is a good pitch and a wide pitch. St. Peter's wear green/white hooped jersies and they are more renowned for underage football in the region.Originally Posted by l.f.c......

It's the game followers of soccer in Galway have been looking forward to for weeks. On Sunday afternoon at Terryland Park (3p.m kick off) Galway Hibernians host Waterford Crystal in the penultimate round of the famous Statoil FAI Junior Cup.
Hibs' FAI Junior Cup form has been exemplary this season. Mark McPhilbin is a most capable goalkeeper, with a defence that continues to be inspired by the immense Stumpy Ward and central partner Eric Browne who is another talented Hibs' defender.
Manager Paul Reidy possesses a wealth of midfield options. Johnny Walshe, once admired by Shelbourne, has been a key contributor thus far. Anthony Kelly's footballing prowess is notable, while Spanish import Juan Rojas adds a dash of flair to the Bohermore side. Rodney Grant's season has been hampered by injury, but the former West United captain will relish Sunday's battle.
In attack Tommy Ward has been in prolific form, particularly in the FAI Junior Cup games. In a well contested tie with Bellurgan Celtic Ward struck a brace of critical goals to safeguard Hibs passage into the final four of the competition.
Waterford Crystal narrowly defeated Salthill Devon, but that game took place in the Munster city.
Last Sunday's preparations may not have gone according to plan when Hibs surprisingly lost to Abbey United in the Connacht Cup, but they will be especially eager to recapture their winning touch.
A Galwegian victory is a distinct possibility, and with a large home crowd expected the Dyke Road, HIbs and Waterford should witness a fascinating battle on Easter Sunday. Reidy, an under-rated player for Galway United, is a shrewd football man and Hibs' mixture of spirit and skill may be enough to outwit a well regarded Waterford Crystal team.
It will be a tough game but heres to a Suir Side victory
Exotic Spanish Signing for West of Ireland Club
Did you sign Juan Rojas for €50,000 from Sporting Real Costa Del Aguilera in some Marbella local league?
Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes are just covering their own backside with them odds. They do not fancy another Carew Park style sting again.
Newsflash!!
Carew Park supporters will be well pleased to hear that Denis Whelan will be available to play against Westport United in the Semi Final of the FAI Junior Cup in Jackman Park on Sunday. Whelan was sent off in the enthralling quarter final encounter against Ballynanty Rovers and his availability is a boost for the Southill side that are aiming for their first ever national final appearance. The only downside is that Whelan's suspension comes into effect for the final, therefore ruling out the influential star, should Carew Park do the business. All of Limerick will be in Jackman Park to cheer on Carew Park to ensure that the FAI Junior Cup stays in the Treaty City.
Any last minute predictions? Will it be an all Munster (like last year) or an all Connacht final (never happened before) or will it be a Munster V Connacht final? The next ninety minutes will be the key to either progress to the biggest cup final in the country for all four sides or elimination from the competition. Who is the weakest link?
these games might be only at a junior level but there will be quality players on show, so whoever takes there chance on the day could shine.i expect both semis to be tight affairs with only the odd goal deciding it.let the action begin
carew park v galway hibs in the final!!!
Results were:
Galway Hibs 0 - 1 Waterford Crystal
Carew Park 1-1 Westport Utd at the end of 90 mins and extra time (Carew Park won 3-2 on penalties)
So the final is Waterford Crystal vs Carew Park on May 8th. Not exactly the final everyone wanted to see, but we'll have to make do.
Well Done Carew
Well done Carew Park.. Was at the game and after a nervy start they settled and ran out worthy winners.Should have won the game in 90 but that won't bother them..Fully deserved their win and lets just hope thay can go all the way..
Waterford Crystal
Well done also to Waterford Crystal on making the final.I still can't believe that they are still there, but that shows how much I know, Isn't that right ThunderBlaster, Got the 2 semis wrong this time....
What would have been your final? For the record, Carew Park won 4-2 on penalties.
Well done also to Waterford Crystal on making the final.I still can't believe that they are still there, but that shows how much I know, Isn't that right ThunderBlaster, Got the 2 semis wrong this time....You got one out of two right, I got both right. My prediction for the final is Carew Park to win 1-0 and Albert Slattery to get the winner.
Well deserved win for Crystal, roll on the 8th of May, Congrads Lads
