Where's this on? Is it a full side or just reserves?

**Claret Murph** · 26/06/2007, 3:21 PM

Not too sure about what sides will be put out but it is taking place in Corofin , I can't really see United putting out much of a side as they will have played the night before up at Drogs . I was only decided last night as the two clubs agreed on the date . I would check out local press and Radio and if you hear anymore info lets us all know .

heard that billy will probably be in charge of the team for this match, so the team will probably a mixture of u21s and the new players

Lies. Lies I tell you.

But nah, theres a Corofin in clare and Galway. The one in Galway is about 15 miles from Galway on the Tuam Rd. Or if your coming from Sligo, turn left for Corofin, 6 miles after Tuam.

How did occasion go?

**Terry** · 03/07/2007, 10:10 PM

we won it 4-1. scorers were yeboah (2), moran and lester.

**Terry** · 03/07/2007, 10:15 PM

This was written on another website, I hope the poster doesnt mind me lifting it:

Starting Lineup was :

Rogers
Keane Lester Walsh McDonagh
Murph Robson Fagan Tracy
Yeboah Moran

The Team that finished :

Gough
James Lester Reilly Tracy
Fagan Robson Foley Davoren
Yeboah Unknown

Goalscorers were Moran, Lester and Yeboah got 2 nice goals. Really liked the look of Robson, think we have a really good player in Robson, takes down the ball and plays good passes, Fagan was good in centre mid aswell but faded abit when he was moved out right, Yeboah was excellent, ball stuck to his foot and he took his goals very well, McDonagh was very good at left back and its good to see Alan Keane back playing, good result.

**Tribalhooie** · 03/07/2007, 10:15 PM

It seems that vinny faherty has gone to the dark side. He togged out for shligo rovers tonite and scored the first goal. The new signings seem very good. I was impressed with Shaun Fagan and especially Daryl Robson. They both looked good in centre midfield. Yeboah seems to know where the goal is and always looks to have a shot. It was strange to see Barry scoring a goal. Cant wait to see who lines out against Cork on tuesday night.

**Terry** · 03/07/2007, 10:20 PM

I wouldnt worry about vinny, he was given a chance with us but wasn't up to it in Cousins eyes.

what time on tuesday is the match on?

This Unknown fella; is he related to the many other Unknowns who have played for Galway United over the years?

**Terry** · 03/07/2007, 10:37 PM

EDIT:

just found out that it was Fahy, he plays for the under 21's and is from athenry.

**Claret Murph** · 04/07/2007, 6:42 AM

All in all it was a good work out last night both teams played well againist the wind , i have to say Mensah looks a vey good player and I am sure he will start on Tuesday night . It was good to see Alan back again but he looked like he needed a few more matches before he returns to the side , but I am sure TC was happy with what he saw last night and it was great to see us play football on the ground instead of hoof and chase .

One last thing I would like to thank all at Corofin United who were very helpfull also special thanks to the Steward John Fahy who showed me around and told me of their plans for the future .
