what dates are the 5th round fixtures taking place?
Sounds a lovely wager!!I'll be putting money on Corrib rangers to beat westport
10th and 11th of December....
Should be a cracking game so Terry
are they playing each other again this week in the connacht cup?
When you say all ex Galway UTD is that LOI, if so is there not a rule that only 4 ex LOI can play in an FAI junior match
Any info on Avenue United (from Clare), we have them Sunday in the FAI...
Corrib rangers do not have all L.O.I. players with them......they nearly got relegated last year and brendan has turned them around in his first season as a player/manager and all he has brought in including himself is 4 players
They will be a good bet to beat Westport this sunday
I think Brendan will be a future Galway Utd manager and hes still only 27 and still good enough to play L.O.I. going by the way he is playing this season
Strong at the back, strong in midfield but not particularly mobile, nippy wide men & like to play a big man up front. They're a decent side & doing well in the clare league. Difficult to break down & some nice players going forward.
Quite dangerous from set pieces. Ye played moher earlier in the season....
well they got relegated from the Premier while Avenue won it! So they are a big step up from Moher.
How about Killarney Celtic, we are playing them on Sunday?
you are only a loser when you stop trying. Playing sport does not build character, it reveals it.

Papa-j, apolgies but didn't log onto the website until this morning, so it would be a bit too late to inform about Killarney Celtic...
Waterford Crystal equalised in the last minute against Tramore before winning 5-3 on penalties yesterday. Gamed ended 2-2 all
Carrick, Crystal and Dungarvan all advance from Waterford area
Tralee Dynamos 3 Avenue United 0
Killarney Celtic 4 Newtown 1
tralee men 3 avenue boys 0
very frustrating to travel down to tralee in bleak conditions and save your worst performance of the season for last 64 of fai. bad enough the elements but to gift a strong well organised team like tralee a soft opener on 7 mins, shocking. the first half was up and down for both teams but tralee had cleaner passing and looked more in control. the start of the second half (and introduction on sean o'meara {late cause of clare gaa training}) avenue had tralee on the back foot for first 10 to 15 mins. only some brillant defending and wayward shooting stopped avenue equalising. then what can only be described as a moment of brillance. tralee forward against the run of play buried a shot from outside box, top corner. quality. (bit like ray wilkins utd v brighton fa cup 2-2 game, more direct). avenue huffed and puffed but that goal knocked the wind out of us. with 15 mins left and avenue chasing the game tralee knocked in a 3rd. in fairness it was like a training game for tralee in the last 15. knocking the ball around left back keeper right back and they could have had 1 r 2 more goals. they have a great set up pitch wise (never knew brendans park are so close to them, like cusack park to aldi away floodlights the whole works) the ref was the best ref i have encountered for a long while. **** even the pub we went back to was quality (the huddle) with an away fixture in last 32 v rathkeale i would fancy tralee to progress and who knows.........watch this space.
so from a well ****ed off avenue diehard i'm off to ask santa for a bit of backbone and maybe even rudolph, a leader.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
Up E200 this morning !! WOO HOO
to answer some questions. The players didnt all play first team, they were reserves and under age players as well, which wouldnt make them ex-LOI players.
Waterford Crystal, lucky,lucky boys. Phew!!!! And they have a tough one coming up.
a tough one? I wouldn't say that.
Lads
Can anyone update the above after yesterday's games.
