We have had entries so far from supporters of the following clubs :

There have been enquiries from supporters of other clubs as well. EL website extratime.ie have expressed an interest in entering a team.

The tournament will be 5-a-side, on astroturf. There can be two or more entries from any EL club or organisation. The winning team will be presented with a trophy that night, at a function in Fibber Magees, Eyre Square, Galway.

Excellent. It is a five-a-side tournament, so you can enter two teams if you
have 10+ players.

The tournament is going ahead this Saturday, 14th June, at Mervue United FC (1.00pm).

Any club or group interested in entering a team can pm me, or call Ronan Coleman at (087) 6972823. The closing date for entries is Thursday, 12th June.

[LeixlipRed]

Did anyone from Shels enter a team?

[Patrick Dunne]

Not as of today, Lexlip Red. We hope to see you on Saturday.

There will be plenty of extra players available, so if any club can only get 3/4 people coming to Galway, we can make up the full complement for them by supplementing in a few locals.

[LeixlipRed]

I was just asking. Have no intention of going myself. Totally forgot about it tbh. Good luck with anyway.

Congrats to the Athlone Town supporters team who the inaugural Eircom League Supporters Cup

Result of final: Athlone Town 3 GUST 2

[Patrick Dunne]

Thanks to all who helped out with the organisation of the inaugural tournament.
GUST only came up with the idea in May, so with a few more months planning
we hope to have a bigger and better competition at the same time next year.

Reigning champions Athlone Town will be back to defend their trophy.

What clubs were represented?

[Ash]

Thanks to all those involved with GUST for organising a great day out.
The fact we won made it a great day for Athlone Town but apart from that
our team really enjoyed the tournament.

There were 4 teams representing Galway so not sure what team names ye all
had, when we send in our Press Release to the local meeja there may be a few names made up

We had hoped to do a tour of town getting each pub to fill the Cup but
unfortunately the lid and body are in 1 piece!

Due to the unpredictable Athlone weather we had to cancel our open top bus
parade around town, but on the up side, we managed to get the lid off the
Cup so there is another victory celebration tonight
