Galwegians gunning to end Shannon hoodoo in semi-final

GALWEGIANS are hoping to buck a trend when they take on Shannon in the AIB Cup semi-final at Crowley Park today (3.15).

Galwegians have not beaten Shannon in their last five outings but will be hoping home advantage can spur them to beat the Munster giants in this big game.

This is Galwegians’ first semi-final in this competition, having lost to Shannon in the first round last year and to Garryowen at the quarter-final stage in the inaugural season of 2005/06. The omens may not be that bad either in that they are drawn at home again this weekend as they were in the three previous rounds.
