2012 EA Sports Cup

Deleting this - information now on FAI Cup thread.

I haven't heard any suggestion that the League Cup would be drawn tomorrow - I'd be very surprised.

I think I saw a date mentioned somewhere, but I can't find it and I can't remember where.

6 games tonight....



Cork City - Wexford Youths 7:45 p.m.
Waterford United - U.C.D 7:45 p.m.
Monaghan United - Fanad United 7:45 p.m.
Athlone Town - Drogheda United 7:45 p.m.
Finn Harps - Mayo League 7:45 p.m.
Shelbourne - Mervue United 8 p.m.

I'm tempted to have a punt on Monaghan as their odds are rising hugely from 2/5 opening odds to 4/6 and better now.
Roddy has said he will make changes but surely they can account for an out of season Fanad?
Any team news on either team hugely appreciated!

[Mr A]

Strange that that has moved so much.. but then LOI markets don't take a lot of money to influence. Monaghan look very good value at that price.

When does Fanad's season start?

[nigel-harps1954]

I believe it starts April the 8th with the Ulster Senior League, League cup first round.

Roddy on tonight's game:
Monday’s game against Fanad United will give us a rest from the pressures of the Premier. Fanad are an excellent Intermediate side and are the dominant force in the Ulster Senior League. There is a magic to cup ties and are famous shocks, I don’t want to be included in such statistics and for that reason I will not be underestimating Fanad. However I hope to take the opportunity of giving some of the players who haven’t featured for us so far this season a chance. It would be nice to progress in the Cup but or main priority this season is to maintain our hard earned Premier Division status.
