2010 SCHEDULE NOW ON GALWAYCUP.COM |

The 2010 Umbro Galway Cup schedule has been released on Galwaycup.com! 126 matches will take place over four days on our four excellent grass pitches. Groundsman Vinny Byrne has been working hard in the rain and sunshine to ensure all players will be playing on top class surfaces once more!
Leicester City, pictured left, face a tough opening game in their defence of the U15 Elite title, with a Wednesday afternoon match against Irish Cup Champions Cherry Orchard. Elite newcomers Stabaek and Bangor City square off against each other on Wednesday evening.
There are a host of mouthwatering fixtures across the six Competitions to look forward to. The U17 and U15 Boys Competitions look particularly competitive, with just the top team in each group guaranteed to advance to the Cup latter stages. In truth, it's hard to call who's going to leave with the silverware in any of the Comptetitions. Make your own mind up by viewing the full list of fixtures here. Team leaders will be sent their fixtures in the coming hours.
