I like it! :D

[Dodge]

Good to see the A league clubs involved.

Having a seperate sponsor may help with giving it its own brand too

[SkStu]

cant see past Derry at this stage, in fairness... ;)

[Umberside]

I doubt Doolin will take much notice of this competition:(

Pool 1
First Round Draw
Limerick v Wexford Youths Match 1

I'm sure there will be a little bit of pre-match commentary to that one :D

[LeixlipRed]

Great draw. And when we beat Dundalk, Bohs in the next round. Sweet

[Poor Student]

Why is there a Kerry League team instead of the Dynamos?

[Dalymountrower]

Great draw. And when we beat Dundalk, Bohs in the next round. Sweet


Careful now, scanner alert is.....on!

[gufc2000]

Salthill beat Mervue tonight on penalties so we'll be facing them in the next round of the League Cup

[sligoman]

Harps bet Kildrum 2-1 tonight too. They'll be away to Castlebar next.

[prince20]

Salthill beat Mervue tonight on penalties so we'll be facing them in the next round of the League Cup

Salthill advance in EA Sports Cup on penalties
Salthill Devon 2-2 Mervue Utd AET
Maranek Gaffney
Browne O'Dowd

Salthill win 4-3 on penalties

Tonight saw the first glimpses of action in the newly named EA Sports Cup(formerly the League Cup) when Mervue United travelled to Drom to take on Salthill Devon in the preliminary round of the competition.

The clubs met twice last year in the A Championship, with both recording away wins. That trend was bucked tonight as Salthill caused an upset, fighting back from behind to force extra-time and eventually win out 4-3 in a sudden-death penalty shootout.

Salthill took an early lead through Marcin Maranek but were pegged back by a goal from Rory Gaffney. David O'Dowd then gave the First Division side the lead, but a late goal from Devon's Shane Browne forced an extra half hour to be played.

Browne proved to be the hero once more as his sudden death penalty sent the Seasiders through to meet Galway United in the first round proper in two weeks time.

Anyone know if the dates are firmed up for these games? Wondering if the Tullamore - UCD game is on the Monday or Tuesday?

Just give Derry their consolation prize and have done with it.

The rest of us have more important trophies to concentrate on.

Dave Hill is the manager now, unfortunately he has a very inexperienced team made of mostly of Youths and Under 17's to work with, but once he gets a few experienced players in we will be ok.
To be fair some of the players that were playing today would have been playing their 4th game of the week but they are still very game and that is all you can ask of young lads.

[sligoman]

Galway were 2 up. 2-2 now. Gone to extra time.

[GlasnevinRed]

Do Dundalk always play that bad or is it just because it's the league cup?

Limerick/Wexford in a shoot-out now.

EDIT:
Wexford win 4-2 on penalties.

[LeixlipRed]

Dundalk fans should be ashamed of their team. Abysmal stuff from their full strength side. Connor having a laugh and a joke with us in the stand after too. What a ****.

[Longfordian]

Aertel says a 5-3 win on penos for da Yoofs. Not that it matters really.

[ForzaForth]

Extratime showing a penalty win for Limerick. Anyone got a confirmed result?

[ForzaForth]

Youths board now confirming a penalty shoot-out win for Youths. Excellent!

[Gareth]

We have a report on the Galway win and the Limerick report is following shortly. Shels report is up and the Rovers report is following soon. Bray was earlier and up now.

[gufc2000]

Attendance of about 150 in Terryland, where we got a rude awakening in the second half. O'Shea and Edwards got our goals

[osarusan]

Limerick 1 - 1 Wexford Youths. Youths win 5-3 on penalties.

Limerick shaded the first half in terms of possession, but no real chances for either team. Youths took the lead with a cracking free-kick about 5 minutes into the second half, Limerick pressed and missed a penalty (which I thought should have been a free to Wexford), kept pressing and got an equaliser late on.

Extra-time produced very little, and penalties went Wexford's way. Their keeper saved 2 - 1 during the game and 1 in the shootout.

Well done Wexford.

[CSFShels]

Abusing Georgie every time he touched the ball made a great night perfect. He was ****e.
