FAI Cup 2012

[littlebray]

The draw for the First Round of the FAI Cup is scheduled to take place tomorrow evening in Abbotstown.

According to the FAI, which earlier circulated that the 'old' 3rd Round (mentioned in the earlier League fixture lists) would now be the 2nd, 20 non-League clubs are in the draw. The first four clubs drawn will get byes into the Second Round, with the remaining teams paired off.

That seems to be the only change of format, in that with 22 League teams, 20 non-League 'qualifiers' and the 4 A-clubs to be catered for, they previously had to play two preliminary rounds to get the 46 teams down to 32.

The participating clubs this year – corresponding, it seems, though we are not told, to the previous pattern of Junior Cup Semi-finalists and Intermediate Cup 4th round – are Avondale United, Ballymun United, Blarney United, Cherry Orchard, Clonmel Celtic, College Corinthians, Crumlin United, Douglas Hall, Drumkeen United, Everton (Cork), Kilbarrack United, Kildrum Tigers, Killester United, Lucan United, Malahide United, Mayfield United, Phoenix FC, St Patrick’s CY, Sheriff YC and Verona FC.

The First Round fixtures are scheduled for Sunday 01 April.

The Second Round draw will take place on Monday 30 April.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Drumkeen United, between Letterkenny and Ballybofey ;P

It was more the "bye" rather than the "Drumkeen" I was getting at.

Stupid glacial topography!

[nigel-harps1954]

Oh, touché. Although I'd be more inclined to say Drumkeen bai in such a case.

[nigel-harps1954]

But what about the 2nd round? Or was that played already? I saw those same details and got confused since the 2nd round draw is to take place on 30th April, yet there's no fixture details for the 2nd round.

Didn't think so so I didn't take note of that when I saw it.

[The Lilywhites]

The second round is now what the third round was. Changed format. LOI teams enter at second round now.

[Sam_Heggy]

Hopefully we get drawn away to Rovers tonight. Would love a trip to Tallaght, it's not as if we'll be there for a League game any time soon so this is our best chance.

[Dodge]

As long as we get an easy path to an almost farcical semi final defeat I'll be happy enough

[Lim till i die]

Sligo or Dundalk away please.

[cornflakes]

A home game would be nice but not against a First Division team, playing each four times is bad enough without being drawn together in the cup.

Good spot.

[bennocelt]

Bohs - Malahide utd would be interesting

[sligoman]

Kildrum, Harps or Longford at home...or any non-league at home either.

[adamd164]

Any of the other 5 teams from Cork would do nicely.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Wouldn't mind an away trip to Dublin for Limerick, would be closer to my current home.

[SkStu]

Bohs - Malahide utd would be interesting

It sure would - and not just because of the ginger magician. One of our mb regulars is a keeper for Malahide...
