wots the reasoning that Mayo League are representing Connacht in non league and not Mervue as in prev yrs?Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Mayo League have been in it for a while now.

Mayo League have been in it; 2004-2006 and then since 2012

We played Mervue 2 seasons ago in it at home
Mervue and Salthill were supposed to continue in it after Galway FC joined the First Division far as I remember.

Monday coming (March 28th), 2 p.m. kick off in the RSC. It was originally down for Monday last (March 21st) but was moved to next Monday due to the U21 international qualifier against Italy tomorrow evening.
So I reckon the last 16 looks like this:
Pool 1 – Limerick, Waterford/Rockmount, Cork, Wexford
Pool 2 – Finn Harps, Galway, Derry, Sligo
Pool 3 – Bluebell, Bray, Dundalk, Pats
Pool 4 – Bohemians, Shelbourne, Athlone, Shamrock Rovers
Yeah, that's right. The 2nd round is the last of "groups"

As far as I can see, it's because the Mayo League runs concurrently with the LOI. I don't know if that's actually the reason, but it's as good a reason as any. As for the other two, Galway clubs don't tend to do much in the Junior Cup and Salthill actually got relegated from the Galway Junior Premier.
So thats Limerick v Waterford/Rockmount and Cork City v Wexford (not sure if we will be home or away, but I am sure we will draw them. Last year was the anomaly.
Anyone know when the draw for the next round is?
Here on a technicality.
There was no guard of honour for us in cobh last night.
Thought it was a bit disrespectful but then maybe they didn't do it because it was just a cup game?
Will have to see if athlone do the right thing saturday.
Draw has been made.
Cork City - Waterford United/Rockmount
Limerick - Wexford Youths
Derry City - Sligo Rovers
Galway United - Finn Harps
Bray Wanderers - Bluebell United
Dundalk - St Patrick's Athletic
Shamrock Rovers - Athlone Town
Shelbourne - Bohemians.
Looks like Limericks run is over. I refuse to believe that Wexford and Cork City will be kept apart in the League Cup two years in a row. Impossible.
Waterford Utd 4-0 Rockmount
