What was the game like. Never got to go up after. The other games are on this sunday aswell, so should be good to see who else will be going through.

**greenumbro** · 28/10/2006, 11:24 AM

yea... 1-1 after full time... Ucd got 2 goals in last 5 mins of ET...

Raheny GK was fantastic.... All the best to UCD now...

**chick** · 28/10/2006, 2:25 PM

yeah, should be interesting to see who they'll face in the semis...

**chick** · 29/10/2006, 4:06 PM

Quarter final results:
Lifford 3-2 Cork League (aet) (2-2 at full time)
Galway 3-1 Benfica
Mayo league 3-2 Wilton (aet) (2-2 at full time)

So UCD, Lifford, Galway & Mayo all through.
When's the semi-final draw?

Didn't get to see any of the games, what were they like?
Heard Mayo were on fire... Never looked like losing it.
What about Lifford? Were they as lucky as i've heard?
I heard Raheny were on fire but UCD just edged it with the goals?
What was Galway game like? Only game not to go into extra time...

**chick** · 31/10/2006, 10:22 AM

Yeah, lifford were lucky alright. they were two nil up though. they got the winner at the very end.
Galway were one nil up at half time but benfica missed a lot of chances. i think they hit the post once. galway's third goal was a penalty so that sealed the win.
I heard Mayo's u19 striker had a stormer of a game in that one.
Didnt hear about the dublin game but i'd say there was some good goalkeeping on show with the last years 2 u19 keepers in goals for both sides.

Mayo going to go close this year i think in the cup, hope they get galway in semi's in local derby

**elaine casey** · 31/10/2006, 12:15 PM

**marina** · 31/10/2006, 10:33 PM

My money is on Mayo v UCD final with Mayo coming out on top!!! both semis should be good games.

**benchwarmer** · 01/11/2006, 11:55 AM

come on mayo!!!

**elaine casey** · 01/11/2006, 12:11 PM

Have there been any time's sorted out yet and ground's for play

**rasper** · 02/11/2006, 6:54 PM

galway usually play at mervue and mayo at milebush park both pitchs suit their style of play and you would expect both teams to win but these cup games are on the day and it wont be easy for any team at semi stage.dont know time yet as days are shorter it could be 12 or 1

heard over the weekend that the womens cup final will not be held in lansdowne road but in one of the teams pitch who are in the final. anyone else hear this ?is womens soccer being moved down again.

**benchwarmer** · 07/11/2006, 6:23 AM

no way! its the pinile of ladies soccer for the year its what we aim to acheive thay cant surely take it out of landsdowne or can they??????????????

**Squeez** · 07/11/2006, 12:10 PM

Thats a disgrace if they do that! Putting womens soccer on the back foot again!!! Having it played in Lansdowne Rd is such an incentive for any player in the Senior Cup, especially seening as the bulldosers are moving in soon after the finals this year! Whoever is responsible for making this decision would want a kick up the back side... One minute they're trying to promote the game, then something like this happens!!!!

No apparently there are two Rugby matches being played on the pitch one on Saturday and and one on Friday night, the same weekend as the Cup Final so that's the reason for the fixture being moved. It's disappointing and calls into question the whole timing of the tournament.
