Leinster Senior Cup 1994-95

[Martinho II]

well folks, :mad:

I am on a bit of a deadlock at the moment. I am compiling all the Longford Town results since the 1984-85 season. It was all looking so well until I realised when I was going through the 1994-95 season that there was no results compiled for the leinster senior cup that involving us that season.

Has anyone any idea who knocked us out in the Leinster Senior Cup that season and would anyone have access to a match report? This is the only season that I dont have a result for the leinster senior cup involving us..

regards,

marty

All I can say for sure is that you didn't play Dundalk that season (we lost the final to UCD)

[Acornvilla]

[historynut]

Though Longford did win Connaght Cup in early 1930's

this may be of help to me as I delve further into the past.. But I am still stuck in who knocked us out of the 1994/95 leinster senior cup?

[Dodge]

Just checked the programme from the final there Marty (played in Richmond)

Longford didn't enter the 94/95 LSC

excellent dodge thats made my day! Thanks a million for your help! Thats every town match covered since 84-85 season phew!

Did ye win it that year in Richmond?

[pineapple stu]

We won it, along with the First Division Shield and the First Division.

Beat Dundalk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leinster_Senior_Cup_(association_football)#1990s); not sure why that would have been in Richmond.

[Dodge]

Richmond got a lot of the lesser finals and underage internationals around 94-97

The LSC was nearly always on nuetral ground until the last few (Dalymount being the obvious nuetral ground)

Worst treble ever... :p

[HarpoJoyce]

Worst treble ever... :p

I know. And the effort is diluted further with the confirmation the LTFC didn't take part.

After Edit:
LSC is returning nextt year. Four clubs from LSL ( Wayside Celtic, Bangor Celtic, Bluebell Utd. and Tolka Rovers), two from AUL (Ballymun Utd. and St. Kevin's Boys), two A Championship teams and twelve LoI clubs.

Wayside Celtic are holders they beat Athlone Twn in 1999 or 2000.

I meant to raise that point as I saw a small piece in the mail a few days back.. The last time the Leinster Cup was played was in 2000/01. We were knocked out in the first round by Kilkenny City that year..It would be good to have the competition back..

[pineapple stu]

It would be good to have the competition back..
Meh. It was a nothing competition played by reserves in front of nobody. I think there was one in 2001/02 - we were knocked out 3-2 by Rovers - and it was dropped in the short transitition season (2002/03) and never came back. I don't miss it anyway. And we won it three times.

Edit - no, maybe you're right on the 2000/01 bit.

[Martinho II]

Its another way of playin the non league sides if you dont meet them in the Fai Cup or League Cup plus it lengthens the season.. Munster Senior Cup still going strong why not the Leinster Senior Cup?

[Schumi]

There's a bit in the Herald (http://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/junior-senior/leinster-senior-cup-makes-a-return-1958977.html) about it. I assume the
yet unnamed A championship sidesare Tullamore and Carlow.

[Longfordian]

The only reason it might be good to have it back is that we might have a shot at winning something. Probably not though.

[Schumi]

If it's run off early in the season, it could be useful for getting match fitness up. Maybe even as a replacement for pre-season friendlies.

[Longfordian]

Yeah not a bad idea. That would suit the non league sides too. With LOI teams needing fitness they'd probably play stronger teams at that time.

[Dodge]

Pats won it in 2000/01 and the final wasn't played the following year (Bohs used a game to get rod of a couple of suspensions and others appealed/complained)

Can't remember the full story but afaik no final was played

you are dead right on the first part dodge.. 2000-01 was the last time it was played.. I never knew the reason why the Leinster Senior cup stopped but its a pity it was stopped..

What about the Connacht and Ulster based sides have they their own cup competition at all and did they ever have one?

[seand]

For the stattos among us I've started a thread in Football History to try and estsablish the details of the last few LSC finals

As far as i can remember, Bohs played Bray in an FAI Cup semi on a Sunday afternoon with player (s) that Bray said were suspended. Bohs had not played those player (s) in a midweek game (possibly a LSC game) thus serving the suspension and making them eligible to play against Bray... I think....

Was Jason Byrne the centre of one of the discussions?, he didn't play a LFA cup game but Bohs still appealed that he should not play against them in an FAI Cup semi-final. FAI backed Bohs and Bray felt they were hard done by as it was a change in the norm.

oh sorry, maybe it was a Bray player and not Bohs?! Certainly the FAI semi was on the Sunday afternoon of April 2nd 2000. I have the programme here as I type. It was live on television and I remember watching the video of the game later and the controversy was mentioned.
