[benefit of that ridiculous round robin series before ye played us

Not half as ridiculous as last years system where Galway/Mayo had a warmer upper game to decide who they'd play in the Semis.
If I remember rightly the Connacht Council originally wanted to play the championship on a round robin basis to give all Counties 4 games and the top 2 play the Final but our friends from the (soon to be former I hope)"big 2" wouldnt partake.
A bit like the way ye ganged up to prevent the the St John's Club in Ballagh affiliating to the County Board of their own County.

But there's 5 counties in Connacht... How could Mayo/Galway 'gang up'. Anyway we all know that Ballagh is in Mayo when it comes to GAA situations.

that was voted through on a majority. get over it

don't write off sligo

Majority or not it was a joke, end of.

The minor round robin system is scrapped anyway so I dont know why yer talking about it, joke or not its in the past.

Sligo play Galway at home in the qtr on May 16th. The winners play Mayo as curtain raiser to Sligo V Galway on june 28th. FYI... i think the Connacht minor league is starting soon and probably worth having a another thread for that.

You can start that thread so Sligonian seen as I started this one.

Its a bit away yet so not worth starting a thread yet but thanks farrandeelin, dont really care who starts it as long as someone does btw... see Sligos fixtures below.

The Connacht Minor League gets under way on Saturday, March 7th, when Sligo are away to Leitrim. They then have successive home games against Galway (March 14th) and Roscommon (March 21st) before finishing the campaign with an away game against Mayo (March 28th)

No venue announced yet 8 days beforehand.....wasting my time trying to organise going to these matches.

Rossfan · March 06, 2009, 05:45:32 PM

I suppose Prenty wants it in Ballyhaunis while the Mayo Co Board want it in Belmullet.

As long as the winners are worn out and unable to raise their game a week later ...

Farrandeelin · March 06, 2009, 10:06:24 PM

It's in Charlestown I think, I heard that during the week might be wrong though.
