Does anyone know anything about the 'Connacht' representative side, apparently they are playing this weekend, S/L sides: City Utd and Carbury have players involved so their league games this week are off.

'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
Conn Cup 2nd fixtures involving Sligo teams:
Merville v Moyne
St Pats v Real Tubber
Cartron v Dysart
Crossmolina v Quayside
I would expect both home sides(Merville/Cartron) to progress. The two Sligo teams that have to travel can blow hot and cold. As for the Shield the only Sligo side I would be surprised not to see progress would be Coolera.
Whats the verdict from the other leagues??
'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
Inver V Partry Home, Partry wont be to interested after a poor season and a long trip
Milltown V Ballyhaunis Away, Ballyhaunis very strong and will be looking to impress further on a great 1st season back in Mayo football
Clew Bay V CB Trotters Home, Clew Bay to keep good run going, espically after last weekends result
Achill V Bangor Hibs Home, Bangor will have lost interest after last weeks drubbing and relegation
Charlestown V Parkside Home, Cant see Charlestown slipping up at home
Glenhest V Ballyglass Away, tough to call but Ballyglass should be to strong for the Hesties
Kilmore V Galway Bohs Home, Long trip for the Galway men and with only 2 points from 15 it should be a home win
Crossmolina V Quayside Home, ont know about Quayside but i'll give home advantage the nod on this one
will take mervue v athenry for the final if kept apart,sligo /mayo teams not as strong
i think its a bit early to rule out the sligo/leitrim and mayo teams just yet. no question city and carbury from sligo
are very strong. carbury have signed 4 quality players from sligo rovers in the past forthnight. and ctiy if they get home
draws will be very hard to beat. i dont think they have lost a home game in 2 years. i do agree tat athenry will take some
stopping.
Bit early yet to be writing off all of Sligo/Leitrim and Mayo sides. How strong are the top sides in Roscommon?? Cant disagree with your call on Athenry though.
Any word on when the draw is made?? Is the Shield down to the last 16 already??

Thought Achill would beat Bangor but didnt know enough bout Quayside to make a proper judged prediction. So 20 Mayo clubs in the last 64 and I dont know why they have been written off already. Anything can happen in cup competition and im sure there wll be plenty shocks in the next round
any word on when the draw for the rest of the cup is???
'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
havent heard anything on it yet. the third round is fixed for the 28th November so it should be out soon enough, will they do the complete draw or just the 3rd round??
'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
any chance you might be able to post that, I'm involved with U-16's and we're still in FAI and Conn Shield.
The reason I said 28th for the third round is that is the date on the draw I got from Galway FA website, it had the 1st and 2nd round draws done. Sligo/Leitrim & Roscommon 3rd FAI is on 7th, Sligo/Leitrim have a free weekend on the 14th(SRFC in cup final), I hear the Oscar Traynor team are playing on 21st Nov, might be better for us if the Conn Cup isnt till December at least we'd get 1 league game in November, weather permitting?!?!
'I can live with disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'
I take it that the draw hasnt been done yet, will it be next week?? Any word from ART Friel?
