The best of the Mayo League will be going up against the best that the League of Ireland has to offer this spring after the league accepted an invitation from the FAI to enter the league cup this season. The Mayo League will be the only junior team in the competition. Mayo League chairman Padraic McHale said on the announcement that he was “delighted to receive the invitation, and would be a further stepping stone for many of our players, to play in a higher grade of football”.

Having only registered a paltry two points from 17 previous Terryland Park games this season, Galway United will be hoping to make some kind of improvement on that woeful record when Bray Wanderers visit the Dyke Road tomorrow evening.

It has been a truly miserable campaign for Galway United packed with comprehensive defeats and unfortunately another extremely tricky test awaits on Sunday evening when champions Shamrock Rovers visit Terryland Park.

There is rarely a dull moment at Galway United and tomorrow's trip to the Carlisle Grounds for a clash with Bray Wanderers provides an ideal opportunity to end a wretched losing streak that now stands at 20 matches in all competitions.

Considering their target is to avoid a last place finish in the First Division, Salthill Devon will be hoping to register a rare victory when Wexford Youths visit Drom this Sunday. Having only won once in 19 matches, Salthill are unsurprisingly the basement boys of Irish football at the moment, but they feel they can nick a result against a Wexford outfit that sit only three points above Paul 'Ski' McGee's side on the table.

League of Ireland football resumes following a fortnight's break and Galway United's Terryland Park collision with Derry City carries huge significance for Sean Connor's charges. Terminating the club's unwanted record for the number of consecutive defeats, currently standing at 19 is the mission, but it will be awkward against a capable Derry side. The Candystripes, always eager to pass and probe, are one of the Division's most attractive outfits so Galway will need to be willing and able from the first whistle.

Galway United continue to face uncertain and difficult times as the list of consecutive defeats mount and problems off the park grow.
