Can see the Mayo League taking the Senior Cup this year, the Mgr has the pick all the previous players with Ballina and Knock/ Kiltimagh clubs folding this year..
Sligo ladies were also knocked out of the league last weekend so that leaves him with Katrina Connolly, Karen Lilly, Noelle Gormley and Jackie Mulligan at this disposal for next weekend..
A Serious group of players to pick from in Mayo for senior cup .
But its a pity the clubs have found it difficult to stay together
at senior level as they were all top class and will be missed from the national
scene,
Castlebar Celtic are going strongly in the Mayo League with 5 wins out of 5. No doubt quite a few players from them for Mayo in the cup next weekend. Over the past couple of months at their best they have looked very good. How about their opponents on Sunday, Raheny? Has anyone seen them play recently?
True but in fairness looking at the Mayo League, Killala are in second, competition is prob the worst ever, would expect alot of them to be included same as last yr, Manager of Mayo Team is Celtic's boss..
Stella Maris 2 - 0 Limerick FC
Aisling Annacotty 3 - 3 Limerick Desmond (AET) Limerick Desmond win 5-4 after pens
Monaghan Utd 0 - 3 Lifford

Raheny 3 -0 mayo league
cork league received a walk over with roscommon
have the the fai/wfai made another mistake putting match's on just before college exams even tems that won had big players missings due to exams.
but a good news story seems to be the new national league due to start in october or is that true?
Doubt it starting then if it is really going ahead. The wrong time for it, should run around the same season as the League of Ireland. Womens' soccer is played during that time anyway. It will come down to money, facilities and sure it will more than likely be representative teams playing. If there were to be 10 teams then 4 could be from Dublin, Peamount, St Francis, Raheny, DWSL?. With the other 6 maybe Monaghan Utd, Dundalk, Lifford, Cork League, Mayo League, Galway League.
Personally I think a walk before run attitude would be the way to go. Maybe for the first year or even two have four provincial divisions with the top two teams and perhaps the finalists in the WFAI Intermediate cup then go into the national league.
At least the teams have time to prepare to go into the league regarding finance, travel etc.
Its nothing short of being disgraceful, i really hope all teams that gave walkovers (5 i think!) in this competition are heavily fined. There should be no excuses at this level.Originally Posted by rasper
As for the FAI/WFAI the Limerick League must have taken a leaf out of their book, they have put the biggest game of the season Lifford v Annacotty for 2morow night, the day college exams start in UL and this is after both teams played Senior Cup yest with Lifford going the whole way to Monaghan.
Where's the sense?!

Some vision if thats the future of womens senior soccer.mostly made up of league teams
except Dublin i see.The only way to grow the game is to make club teams stronger because at grass roots they are the ones that put most into the game.DWSL gave a walk over in senior cup most upsetting for all involved in womens soccer in dublin i would think
peamount beat wilton 2-1. peamount were one up at half time heard it could've been alot more, wilton made some changes and started to get back into game, managed to get one back but were caught on bout 88 min on the break.
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations".
In fairness to the DWSL almost 1/2 the teams in this cup are in the DWSL so they dont have a lot of players to pick from in their top leagues. Also their leagues haven't started. Should not be entering it in first place in reality.
Its ridiculous that at least 5 of the quarter finalists (DWSL teams ) haven't played a league game yet.
And I wonder will Francis get another home draw in the quarters!
Well pedo.....pedro sorry???
Francis probably will get a home draw, Id say there firm favs again
I think the way they play is fantastic.
They move the ball from the back to the front with one touch football.
Pemount, raheny, and the other clubs cant keep up with them, they proved that in the final last year!
Anyword on the next rounds yet????
Never is just ever with an 'N' on the front.
Banana??
Is this just a rumour?
In the Quarter finals draw are St. Francis, Raheny, St. Catherine’s, Peamount, Cork League, Lifford, Stella Maris and Limerick Desmonds.
wow. aisling let me down for my predication got seven out of eight.
(1)i think we get league teams out of irish cup and leave them in a league but have irish cups for clubs.
(2)the cost of running teams at club or county level is now very high and more and more clubs both men and women are no longer around.
(3)I dont take the point that dublin dont have enough players to play in irish cups all it takes 11 to play.
Wilton made some great changes and ruled the game in the second half!!!
Very unlucky to win, pemount were lucky to get out of cork with a win.
Good game to watch tho, I could feel the passion!!!!!
Never is just ever with an 'N' on the front
Banana??
Yeah, heard that Wilton were good in the second half.
Anyone hear the results from the St Francis and Catherines games?
Does nobody rate Stella this year?
What's happening with the senior team over the Summer? I heard that they are going to America for three months. Is that true?
