St. Johns Athletic take on Castlebar Celtic in the Connacht Cup semi-final next Sunday in what will be the biggest game in the history of the club.
Having never even reached the quarter-finals previously the will be hoping to reach the final in a few weeks’ time. Castlebar Celtic are the current holders and have won this prestigious competition more than any other club in Connacht.
St. Johns have already beaten the Sligo side Strand Celtic, Dunmore Town and more recently a fancied Westport United side 3–2 in the quarter-finals.
They have a talented group of players and have played well all season.
Teams from the Roscommon and District League have a good record in this competition and St. Johns Athletic need have no fear of Sunday’s opponents.
With Jamie Tiernan, Darragh Keenan, Kevin Brennan and Camin Boland all in fine scoring form St. Johns Athletic have a real chance of advancing to the final.
