Just hope Dundalk can avoid a long haul away trip.

[Lim till i die]

Dundalk, Sligo or Greystones away please.

Failing that Pike would be a bit of craic.

[pineapple stu]

Greystones away would be about the most convenient game for me ever.

[Sam_Heggy]

12 v 7 please. Obvious reasons.

[The Lilywhites]

Monaghan in Oriel.

[nigel-harps1954]

12 v 7 please. Obvious reasons.

I think we've been embarassed enough this year already.

Sheriif street dublin? where is their pitch?

[Rasputin]

Somewhere in Munster away.

[Hurt Locker]

Pike Rovers something really fishy about these guys!

[Magicme]

Monaghan in Oriel.

Oh dear god no. In gortakeegan no problem to us but we never win in oriel.

[Darkglasses]

Desperately want New Ross home or away. Failing that Sherriff YC away.

[The Lep]

Who is the lowest ranked team left in ?

[cornflakes]

New Ross and Pike both junior clubs, think the rest are intermediate

[Hurt Locker]

New Ross and Pike both junior clubs, think the rest are intermediate

Whats the difference, junior clubs who dont own their pitch cant play intermediate?

[poster]

Anything but Dublin away. Failing that anything but Tallaght unless we re-sign Paul McTiernan.

[Doomofman]

Sheriif street dublin? where is their pitch?

Fairview Park is listed as their home. But there's no pitch there that can take spectators... It's literally just a park...

[marinobohs]

Fairview Park is listed as their home. But there's no pitch there that can take spectators... It's literally just a park...

There are three (I think) football pitches in Fairview park. Two up on the top hill (backing onto train maintenance depot) and one below (a fourth pitch is too small for full sized pitch I think and used exclusively for schoolboy games). As stated above public park with no spectators facilities although schoolboy finals and junior matches etc have been played there with the pitch roped off. I imagine Sheriff would move the game if they got a decent draw. Tolka or Dalymount would probobly be the most likely venues on a geographical basis.

[Jofspring]

Whats the difference, junior clubs who dont own their pitch cant play intermediate?

Don't get this, what do you mean?

Pike are a Junior Club that play in Limericks Premier Junior League and Douglas Hall are an intermediate team and play in an intermediate league. Pike own their own pitch they just haven't stepped up to Intermediate. Its goes Senior, Intermediate and then Junior. Is this what you meant?

Pike will be a tough team for most to be honest. Especially the Intermediate and poorer first division clubs. They have Barry, Harnett, Ryan, Tierney, Cleary, Colbert and I'm sure I'm missing a few more that have all played LOI and a few still could.

[A face]

Midleton v Cork City.... brilliant !! ;)

[Jofspring]

Sickned with the draw but a good chance of progression without knowing anything about Sacred Heart.

[cornflakes]

Fecking Derry, at least we're at home

The term 'facepalm' comes to mind.

[A face]

The term 'facepalm' comes to mind.

Ahh, that'll be me speed reading again, i hadn't actually looked at the players names to be honest :)

[razor]

Pike are a Junior Club that play in Limericks Premier Junior League and Douglas Hall are an intermediate team and play in an intermediate league.Pike are an Intermediate club in all but name, they knocked out the Intermediate cup winners in the last round

[Jofspring]

Pike are an Intermediate club in all but name, they knocked out the Intermediate cup winners in the last round

Can't argue with that. As I said they have a lot of ex-LOI players in their team. One or Two Limerick could do with.

[Magicme]

Cant believe we got the Foffees. Feck sake.

[sheao]

Paul Deasy who was with us last year plays for Midleton now.

[PartySaint]

Happy with that, Should be a decent crowd and also will probably be played in Richmond

[MagicMon]

Cant believe we got the Foffees. Feck sake.

Sh*t draw :( Just pretend its a summer friendly? Might fool some Liverpool fans into coming out to support the Mons.

I'd like to think that United could get through and then get a big game v Derry or Rovers but after the junior side nightmares in the past I just don't want it to affect the league campaign.

[Magicme]

Yeah thats what I am hoping, we can sell it as the real Everton, dumb feckers in Monaghan who wouldnt even know what MNS is might believe us!

[Martinho II]

very happy with our draw.. the last time we met harps in the cup was in stephen kennys days in the promotion season of 99/00. we drew 2-2 with them in mullogher and lost 7-1 away! the 1st game was a cracker!

[BonnieShels]

Happy with that, Should be a decent crowd and also will probably be played in Richmond

Careful now, I remember thinking something similar in the not too distant past.

Can't believe I might have to head to deepest darkest Dublin Jr to see our game...

On another aside come on the Cherryer!

[passinginterest]

I'd say Waterford are not too happy to have drawn Ross Celtic. That one could turn into a blood bath, it's a serious local derby and the junior boys will be out to make a name for themselves.

[pineapple stu]

12 v 7 please. Obvious reasons.
Want to concentrate on the league?

[Sam_Heggy]

Want to concentrate on the league?

Financial reasons, football is only a secondary concern at times.
