Also Waterford not doing too bad either considering there is only 2 teams that come out of the area.

I remember looking at the number of teams each league is allocated in the open draw(last 64). The Waterford League only gets 2 teams through to open draw and always seem to have a team in the latter stages whereas the Cork Leagues get 8 teams through and rarely get a team to the latter stages. I'll have a look and see it i can repost it.

Decent record for a cup competition. If the WJL was combined with WWEC whiich it should be there would a 3rd Waterford rep every year in the out of town stages. Instead the TSDL NTDL and WWEC are joined together to give them 4 spots from 3 leagues. Crazy stuff considering the WJL are joined with the WWEC in the munster junior cup.

You just have to hand it to the TSDL's Tommy Lewis :o

If I remember correctly, it depends on how many teams from a league enter.

[cufc champions]

I heard Carrick where playing an other game instead this week?
They were orignally supposed to play Shannonside in the Munster Junior Cup, the FAI insisted this game be played. All roads lead to Ballymote 4hrs and 11mins on the route planner from Carrick. It will be a long day Sunday.

[Mighty almighty]

congratulations to midleton fc,watched them win both games against both top two teams in carlow.....two very gritty wins i must say.they are the last team from cork at this stage,a great achivement by any club.they are playing against a very good ballymun side at home in the next round,going by boyles odds....any one have any idea or opinions on them on how good they are?

[Longshanks]

10/1 for St. Michaels in Boyles very tempting. Very tough tie away to Sheriff on astro turf pitch. Saints unbeaten all season in all competitions a great record considering their run of away draws. Big price for a team that reached final for past 2 years. If they can overcome Sheriff they will be no more than 3/1.

[brownetube]

10/1 is a great price to get michaels at if they get passed sherieff..but tats a big if! i watch sheriff play regularly on there astro and the football they play on it is quality. they havnt lost a game since the opening day of the season in august in a freak result and micheals unbeaten all season, 2 teams on form its the game of the round and should be a great 1 to watch cant wait! of the dub teams remaining think sheriff, ballmun, odev will progress cant call the kilbarrack and sandyhill games as it cud be a coin toss (penos) to see who goes trough, Trinity corinthians will go out wont be strong enough in clonmel..

also any1 know what county the final is in this year or has it even been picked yet??

[Longshanks]

Not that much travelling in my opinion. Quarter-finals should see Dublin(3) Waterford(2) Tipp(2) and Limerick (1).

I'll go with a last 8 of:

Carrick, Pike, Sherriff, Tramore, O'Devaney(??), Peakevilla, Clonmel, Ballymun.

Sherriff v St Michaels would be well worth a view. O'Devaney and Sandyhill are teams that I feel most of us(contributors to the thread) know very little about. Carrick, Pike, Clonmel, Ballymun are fairly well known quality sides and should have too much for their opposition, I've read some good things about Tramore too.

But it is cup football and anything can happen, best of luck to Ballymote on Sunday against Carrick, hope to get to see some of the game. Athenry are in town on the Conn Cup at the same time, might try to get a half in each game

[cufc champions]

Carrick are looking for a 12pm kick off Longshanks, if that goes ahead you will get both games in.

CUFC, will you post on here if the game is confirmed for 12pm, chhers

[cufc champions]

Will do

[republican]

almost everyone is writing saints chances off away to sheriff, should saints bother turning up???? while all at saints will recognise the size of the task 'huge' saints will not be in awe here and will relish the task. remember saints have contested the last 2 junior cup final's.

I would never write St Michaels off no matter who they were playing. However, considering how big a challenge Sheriff will be maybe they should rest a few players this Sunday and have them fit and ready for that game ;)

Is fahy and richie ryan out for that game?if so it will make the task all that more difficult,especially with sherrifs two new signings.

Milford???

[cufc champions]

Ballymote v Carrick stays a 2pm kick off

[Minesapint]

Milford???
I think they will beat pike , from what i saw of pike i think milford can take them at home.

[Minesapint]

So you have seen milford play so ?
No i have seen pike play.

[Longshanks]

So you have seen milford play so ?


have you?????

[Mighty almighty]

Anybody have any opinions on ballymun united,I no a local team playing them in next round,they are going well in there league,what kind of a outfit are they!!

[Minesapint]

So you have seen pike play but not milford.you must think pike are very poor so to say they will beat pike without watching them.and yes i have seen pike play many times.
very average teams have run them very close thats my opinion and donegal is a long trip.

[KUFCMan]

Any result from Balymote?

[KUFCMan]

RESULT

Ballymote 1-4 Carrick Utd

[Longshanks]

actually didnt stir today, so missed the game.....Carrick must've been good value. await confirmation from CUFC

[carrick hoops]

wasnt at the game , but the talk around the town is, ballymote could have been 2 up in first half , but carrick got 3 goals in 10 mins to kill off game ..
everyone in club happy to be in last 16, with a much changed squad from previous years , still great experience there though , both in players, coaches , and club .... WELL DONE !!!!

[cufc champions]

Great win yesterday in testing conditions, Ballymote missed one chance and were denied what looked to be a clear penalty at nil nil when there striker was felled by Adrian Walsh. Carricks wingers destroyed both flanks of the Ballymote defence and were rewarded for their excellence with goals from John James Keyes, John Murphy pen and Ian Clery in a devasting spell right before half time. John James Keyes added another with a good finish from a Martin Griffin cross with 20 to go. Ballymote got one back almost immediately following a misjudgement in the Carrick defence.

[G3rryB]

Shocking how Ballymote didn't get a penalty and then ye go down the other end and get one, and both were penalties don't get me wrong. Ballymote were the better team for most of the first half and then ye had that devastating spell which finished it. I heard the linesman said it should have been a penalty! Why didn't he flag for it so?

[cufc champions]

As I said it looked a clear penalty, I thought the officials were poor, if that game was in Waterford or Tipp, there would have being many more yellows and possibly reds. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

[G3rryB]

Ya definitely should have been more bookings! What did you think of Ballymotes team?

[cufc champions]

A decent outfit, very strong but seemed to lack fitness, their right back and midfielder were blowing after 20 mins. I was very impressed by their 2 strikers especially the number 9, he was causing alot of problems especially when dropping deep to collect the ball, he made our defenders follow him and thus causing holes to appear in behind. The wind and the soft pitch probably killed any chance of decent football being played though.

[G3rryB]

Ya good assessment, Carrick were very fit and it showed on the flanks. Ha which midfielder are you talking about? Ya pitch was poor and you can't really do anything about the wind. Yer a proper outfit kept going even when 4 nil up and no giving out when things are going against ye is a good thing. Some tidy players there and I'd say ye might have a shout of winning it. Very impressed by the left midfielder, class act. Best of luck for the rest of the year.

[Longshanks]

G3rryB

was chatting to some one who was playing for ye, said you should've had a pen at 0-0 alright, but that Carrick were a class outfit and a step too far for ye. He was really impressed with the Carrick set-up and also reckoned that they would be contenders.

with only 3 teams getting out of Sligo/Leitrim/Roscommon area its rare enough that clubs like Ballymote get a run in it, and when you do its best to enjoy it and go out to a really good team as opposed to a narrow defeat to a middling team. playing the likes of Carrick should be a great experience and an eye opener for a progressive club like Ballymote and shows the level that all should be aspiring to. Hope ye get a good run in the Connacht Cup too.

Midleton at home would be well worth a flutter at 4 to 1. Decent side very capable of upsetting Ballymun.

[nigel-harps1954]

9-2 Milford is a good shout for a few quid. Milford are no pushovers and there will be a big home crowd. Could be a big upset there.
