Connacht astound prophets of doom

SPORTS fans in Galway are spoiled for choice this weekend.

If the triple-header in Pearse Stadium, of NFL, NHL and Ladies football fails to tickle their fancy, there is always the small matter of a European semi-final across town between Connacht and Harlequins.

A win by 10 points or more gets the hosts to the Parker Pen Challenge Cup final on Saturday, May 22, in Reading’s Madjeski Stadium against either Bath or Montferrand.
