Galway WFC need to make goal chances count in League Cup

Thu, Oct 02, 2014

Galway WFC return to Bishopstown Stadium on Sunday for the second week in a row to face Cork City WFC - this time in the Continental Tyres WNL Cup.

Against the same opposition last weekend, Galway dominated possession, but were forced to come from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 draw. Although Galway should relish the chance to have another go at Cork and make up for their miserly performance in front of goal, they will need to up their game in the final third of the field if they are to progress in the League Cup this Sunday.

After the total cake-walk and bore-fest between Milltown and Corofin in the first semi-final, most supporters were delighted that Barna and St Michael’s served up an entertaining and close encounter at Tuam Stadium on Sunday which ended in a 0-12 to 0-12 draw.

Corofin ruthlessly crush hapless Milltown

Thu, Oct 02, 2014

The biggest defeat I can remember suffering in senior club football was in 1990 when Salthill-Knocknacarra hammered Corofin in the county final by 14 points.

It was a really bad day at the office for Corofin and everyone in the losing dressing-room felt humiliated and gutted by the nature of that defeat.
