Cobh, Wexford, UCD and Mervue get Bye's When Cork, Limerick, Bohs and Athlone are not? Seems like the prem team should have the bye

Wouldn't agree with that Premier teams should get byes.
Previously, teams in Setanta got a bye, which made sense.
Teams in Europe got a bye this time, not sure if that was deliberate or not.

I thought a draw was just made for the first two games in a certain region and any team that was not drawn to play in those two games get byes to the next round for example Cork vs Limerick drawn, followed by Waterford vs Avondale and the remaining teams received byes. Luck of the draw.

What's the craic with the next round, do you play the winners of the other tie in your pool, Bohs in our case? Is there a draw for home advantage or what?

[Mr A]

There should be four teams in your pool and you'll play one of those. Bizarrely the press release seemed to indicate Mervue join Pats in there. That can't be right surely?

[adamd164]

Jeez, what a sickener for Crumlin. Goals for Drogs coming on 89 and 117 minutes!

[Fester]

Now Shels 2 v 3 Bray (ET being played)

Yes it's all a bit strange. I'd just assumed we'd go out in the first round as usual so hadn't given it much thought.

[Fester]

Drogheda thru AET 3-1 against Crumlin

[MeathDrog]

Any Finn Harps fans on here at the game tonight? Did one of the Cockhill players actually get sent off for f*cking the ball at the ref??

last year we were knocked out in the league cup second round by Drogheda who were in our group after we beat Athlone in the 1st round!

The Setanta Cup teams will join in in the next round, padding out the pools.

I think.

So we were. We lost 6-0.. no wonder I'd blanked it out.

Did you go to the game tonight Stu?

Yep, he was only on the field four minutes. In fairness to him, the referee was absolutely dire. And by dire, I mean, holy f**king sh*t dire.

Yeah, to bulk up the numbers they added Mayo League and 4 "Senior League" winners, Crumlin, Cockhill, Avondale and eh... Mervue. They then got one of the byes to the next round... But also are in the group with Pat's....

A bit like Gibraltar and Spain they couldn't be in the same group as Galway!!

[Dodge]

Yeah, Pats, Bohs, Mervue and Longford will make up 2 pairings

Hoping for Mervue away as Pats haven't played them competitively

Didn't cop that the Galway clubs were seperated
