The number of Cork entrants in the FAI junior cup across all leagues in Cork is after plummeting . Clubs don't want to waste the money/time on a cup they have no chance of winning?
Could also be used to give some lads game time we all know A Cork team wont win it in the next 10 years..But at least with the 3 games to get out of cork you can rotate players to keep them happy.Quote:

Not what I meant pal . I meant the cost if you got out of cork and had an away match in Sligo or Donegal :DQuote:

I am curious to know why clubs aren't entering the FAI junior cup ?Quote:

Why do up to 600 other teams enter the FAI Junior Cup when they haven't a hope of winning it? One of the biggest attractions of this competition is attempting to get out of your area and going places and playing teams you've never met before I would suggest. And in fairness to Aviva they have really got behind the competition in recent years. Clubs that reach quarter finals (by no means impossbile with a half decent draw) can expect a lot of publicity and even some TV coverage. Definitely a competition worth entering in my opinion.Quote:

If clubs have a problem with driving a few stakes in to the ground and hanging some rope (and you're right, they probably do), it's amazing they can drag themselves out of bed to even play a match.Quote:

So Starting with the Prem games at the weekend big 1 was Grattan keeping the noisey neighbours quiet alot had been built up on Social media past few moths and especially by the Knocka manager.but Saturday's result should keep them quiet for a few games at least..Grattan deserved their win According to Barry Peelo.Quote:

Village winning well not a shock either Carrigtwoholl who are very poor and have been for some time now.
Regarding Aoh Cup results not many upsets in this cup temas progressing who should of in my eyes interesting that the Fairvew game was called off
You must be thinking the manager is someone else. Because he was telling the players to stay away from social media regarding that match. But once again the keyboard warriors come out after the match.Quote:
