QuoteBefore my time, but we beat Dundalk 2-1 in 1994/95. Galway beat Dundalk 2-0 in 85/86. As it happens Galway beat us 4-2 in 96/97. We haven't won the LC since 1998/99. Beat Rovers 2-1. 1-1 draw in Tolka and 1-0 in Cork.Originally Posted by oriel
I've vague memories of Cork beating Dundalk on away goals in a previous version league cup final, possibly around 92/93.
Galway also beat Dundalk in the final in Tolka, must have been 85 or 86, I`ll guess 85.

In the days of Noel Mooney we used to win them as nobody was able to score penalties on him. It was strange actually come to think of it.

Against who? I genuinely don't remember us ever winning a penalty shoot out.
There were a few. One in particular against Derry away. I'm pretty sure Mooney saved 3 penalties.

19 years ago. Some of our current side weren't even born.

You've lost on penalties up here too. Behan, of all people, missed when we beat ye in the Cup in 2008.
Thanks for the link. I do not remember that game at all.
Pretty sure he had a dislocated shoulder during that shoot out.
speaking of penalty shootouts El Pietro when we beat ye on penos in 05 in Turners Cross in the League cup was there a programme produced for this game as I couldnt make the game and have difficulty in sourcing a copy.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Semi Final draw:
Rovers vs City
Galway vs Dundalk
Rovers v Cork will be a tasty affair, glad we avoided that side of the draw, although Galway will have no fears playing Dundalk, think they have beaten us in our last two visits there, both in the league, and a EA Sports cup semi in 2015 on pens.
Both matches set for August BH Monday.

A lot could have changed for the clubs by the time these games come along.
Rovers, Cork and Dundalk could all still be in Europe and/or title race. Galway could be bottom of the league.
The FAI Cup is the following weekend so it probably won't be the priority for most.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
A semi final is a semi final, Rovers will be up for it.
Hope we still have Trevor Clarke by then
I agree! It is good to keep the trophies ticking over even the EA Cup and LSC as it helps foster that know how to win or get it over the line thinking.
Seems a bit nuts not to get these games outof the way in May/early June before Europe kicks in for 3 of the teams
That would be ideal alright wouldn't it. I know it would be guesswork because all 3 teams could be out of Europe by then, hopefully not of course.
Yeah I'd like to think we will be playing a strong team for this. Not ideal that we are away to drogheda the Friday before
Galway United v Dundalk FC - 4PM
Shamrock Rovers v Cork City - 7PM
The semis must be coming along soon........
There are far too many jokes in there. Most of them would get me banned.
Dundalk cruising into the final. When is the final scheduled for? Usually mid September I think.
