At last a home draw in the league cup.

And there even worse than Ramblers to boot.

Looks straight forward enough but then UCD are straight forward for most teams in the league as well...

I don't mean to question your authority on the subject Bernie, but so far this season Limerick have beaten Ramblers twice in St. Colman's Park and drawn in Jackman Park :D

Thats the perfect dra. Limerick is almost a local derby. We haven't played them in years. It should bring a fairly good crowd to the Cross.

City for the Trebble ;)

I should point out that we are unbeaten against all the teams in the top half of the table except for Rovers.

UCD - how can one team inflict so much misery on me?

Bit of a sucky draw for Waterford eh?

As for our own one I was hoping we would get Limerick..... but away. Reason being is that they are little better off than Ramblers, and a local derby would get some much needed cash into their coffers.
Anyways, City for the CUPS!!!! :cool:

I think in the Cup the gate receipts are halved between both clubs. So Limerick will probably make more from a Turners Cross tie.

Although Cork City are notorious for talking down the gate receipts so that they can pocket a lot more than half. Cowboys that they are...

Sorry!

I meant to say...

They are allegedly Tax-dodging cowboys lining their own pockets with money that they make from Cork City supporters.

Yeah?
