FAI Junior Cup 2009/10

[faces]

i would have to disagree with that, i personally think egan is better all round, shot stopping they are about equal, when it comes to decision making egan seems more confident to come out and claim the ball, but miles ahead is a bit over exaggerated. These two young keepers have great potential and hope they get to show them at higher levels.
ya fair enough comment. Robbie just about shades it and as we said hopefuly they will get the break.

i wouldn't be surprised to see egan pulling on a blue shirt for limerick when killmallock bow out of the fai cos he is the best goalkeeper and he would walk on to the limerick team no problem

I would say if he goes anywhere it will be to Pike, best junior team in the country at this stage and he will know he will have great oppurtunities with the Hoops

[Fairkop]

the way that draw has shaped up will we have an all limerick final?

[hooper74]

the way that draw has shaped up will we have an all limerick final?

what about saint michaels....clonmel town or carrick united....could none of them compete with the mighty limerick sides??

[serpico]

Well said proctector.

[Longshanks]

Is the draw made right through to the final??

[Fr Damo]

My Money is on Willow Park. They beat finalists St Peters in R 1 and although they haven't had to take a "big" scalp yet, the biggies have been drawing each other! No one considered St Peters last year and they got to the final (though well beaten) so I wouldn't rule it out. Priced @ 14s i think now though I have them at 16 / 1

[Innishvilla]

Is the draw made right through to the final??

No I think the FAI just make a draw for each round... Then keep it secret so everyone spends a week wondering about it.

[Get a life]

Not judging on this year/last year

[carrick hoops]

Not judging on this year/last year
all these TOP limerick sides seem to drop away at the business end of the year !!! dont rule out recent winners!!!!

[Tipp Top]

not judging on this year/last year???? town this year have knocked out ballymun and last year were beaten semi finalists after knocking out janesboro along the way,all you boys see is Limerick,carrick were 2008 winners,when have limerick last won it? and how many limerick clubs were in last years semi finals??

[Longshanks]

Now now lads, dont be fighting...there can only be one winner and hundreds of losers(from the voice of a loser, although my club didnt enter this year). Being a Liverpool fan I can only give those remaining in the Cup the following wise words....'I can live with the disappointment, its the hope I cant handle'

[abbeyvale]

My 1/4 final line up prediction

Carrick
Glebe North
Killarney Athletic
Pike
Regional
Leeside
Kilmallock
Fairview

Pike v View in Jackman in the final would be some game!!!

[KUFCMan]

6TH Round Result-Played Last Nite

Crumlin Utd(Sat) 2-1 Bath/Markiviecz

Crumlin now away to Fairview Rangers

[Mega Tots]

My 1/4 final line up prediction

Carrick
Glebe North
Killarney Athletic
Pike
Regional
Leeside
Kilmallock
Fairview

Pike v View in Jackman in the final would be some game!!!

your tipping killarney athletic to beat clonmel town after clonmel knocking out ballymun.....you must be a little bitter about the star rovers defeat.....i for one hope carrick,leeside,clonmel,glebe north,saint michaels win the cup,anyone bar a limerick team after reading the rubbish and hype that you guys speak,the last guy was right all you see is limerick,the forum was blocked up for weeks with the kilmallock fight and before that we had to endure another fight over a match card in limerick....my team is out but il definitely be putting rivalries aside and supporting the tipp teams left

[Longshanks]

Clonmel v St. Michaels would also be a great final, no??

[Longshanks]

Crumlin Utd(Sat) v Springfield would be better

[Innishvilla]

As a corkman I have to say I'd love to see Leeside or Springfield taking the title (few bob on Leeside).

If not them I'd be shouting for the Munster sides (very well represented this season 12 from 16) but I will admit, some (not all) of the Limerick contributions make it hard to support/cheer for them...

totally agree....again its not all....but they just dont seem to think there is any football outside of limerick yet players like ray mcmahon,barry ryan,ian bennis and cosgrave have come from limerick to play with saint michaels

[Longshanks]

In fairness to lads from Limerick they seem to have a very vibrant soccer scene down there, especially when you look at all the Limerick based threads on the Junior Forums. The top Limerick clubs seem to be very well ran and supported. Had the pleasure/misfortune of running into Pike a few years ago in the Cup. They stayed in a new hotel with a Darren Clarke designed golf course, we brought them into the Sligo/Leitrim pitch, they hockeyed us, called back to our local boozer had a few pints and a bit of banter and headed off into the sunset on their coaches, a very professional outfit. when you compare that to the Carbury(probably the strongest sligo/Leitrim side) situation of last week of being able to afford to travel to cobh - it really is different ball game to the clubs in the northwest and a good deal more areas around the country.

i agree its a bit disrespectful to presume an all limerick final,but you will get fella's doing that,that is the downfall of some limerick teams when they are drawn away especially,they don't respect they're opponents

Not bitter at all my friend just giving my prediction, as I think Clonmel Town are a different side away from home than they are at home.

Football is all about opinions.

Your only saying that, coz the Boro are out.......

[oscar]

not at all abbeyvale,its the truth and you know it

[justme]

Kilmallock havent had school soccer team in long time and hence their first year back so all in all not a bad result for the school to reach the B Final!

[justme]

Kilmallock now at 22/1 for Junior Cup, not bad

[AlwaysAHoop]

I thought this blog was about the FAI Junior cup..

[Redman028]

Anyone know when these fixtures are gonna be played???? Carrick utd and St Michaels should be a cracker

[neverseenit]

The best teams in the B comp would put it up to the best teams in the A comp , the schools might be smaller but theres still plenty of quality, and CBS lost thier munster final this year whereas Kilmallock won thiers 12-0 which proves they are good enough for the A comp

if they won 12 nil in the final its a joke of a cup...how many go to the school they beat 15...if the other team were in final would that not make them one of the best in the B competion and they get beating by 12 goals...cant see how they could put it up to the worst team in the A competion...your contradicting yourself..read what you said...unless there a primary school that they beat...sounds like a under 8 match..no disrespect to the under 8s

Lads, get back on topic, this is an FAI JUNIOR Cup thread, not a micky mouse schools youth cup thread................

[carrick hoops]

Lads, get back on topic, this is an FAI JUNIOR Cup thread, not a micky mouse schools youth cup thread................carrick are due to play st micheals next sunday , mysteriously changed fixture !!!!!

[nononsense]

carrick are due to play st micheals next sunday , mysteriously changed fixture !!!!!

Yes, instruction from the FAI. All FAI Junior Cup games should be going ahead this week-end. Something to do with the FAI Senior cup draw later in the month. The semi finalists of the Fai Junior cup must be known before the senior draw is made because the four semi finalists go into the first round of the FAI Senior Cup. Expect the winners of next Sundays games to be playing the quarter-finals perhaps the following week

[Blackpanther]

balla are a bit of a boggey team for regional,i think balla on pens.

Heard Balla are missing a few this weekend aswell, Dunphy ( suspended ) Tom Dale ( Knee ) Hickey ( Ill ) Grant Murphy (back ) Tony Fahy ( thigh injury) Kevin Nolan reserve keeper ( ankle) a far as I know Balla are struggling for a keeper if this is true can see regional winning handy

[serpico]
