As far as I'm aware, so will Mayo League and Cockhill Celtic, and possibly two or three others.
I see the first round is due to be played between the first and second rounds of league games.
If it had been a week later teams could have played the game on St Patrick's day and possibly got better crowds. Perhaps some clubs will still look at this option. No use to us as we're away to Rovers on the 16th though.

It's a shame the Kerry League are involved any more. If a Kerry U19 side enters the U19 league next year, hopefully consideration might be given to entering the league cup again.

It might happen with a few ties as Setanta cup 2nd leg ties on 10th/11 as well

In previous years clubs in the Setanta received a bye in the first round (as did others). Expect the same this year

I attended a KDL vs Cork City game a few years ago. nice little away trip but there was a small crowd there and prob not a lot of money maid but there could have been 200 at the game although my memory isn't very sure.
not a bad idea to get non league teams to fill regional gaps.
Avondale or UCC would more than compete down South but not sure if they'll be asked
Non league teams have always filled regional gaps.

It was a good day the day we knocked out Waterford Utd. The games were usually seen as useful for the oscar traynor cup.

True but down south it's mostly been the Kerry District League as opposed to an MSL club side.

good to know we'll be getting through to the second round this year for our annual League Cup game against Wexford.

Our game v Limerick will have to be moved if the league match vs Pats is shifted to Sunday for TV. No confirmation of that yet though.
Finn Harps v Cockhill Celtic, Finn Park, 7.45pm.
Hopefully Harps won't have trouble getting up for that one.

Our Setanta Cup second leg is due to be played on Monday the 10th so I can't see the league game being moved (well I hope not anyway)

Would have to be a lot if changes just to accomdate a Sunday game so it looks very unlikely.

last season we were due to play a setanta game on the Monday and it got moved to accommodate the whims of RTE deciding to show our game v Limerick so it's entirely possible. Agree it's ridiculous that it wouldn't have been announced by now but there you go.

Cobh, Wexford, UCD and Mervue get Bye's When Cork, Limerick, Bohs and Athlone are not? Seems like the prem team should have the bye

Wouldn't agree with that Premier teams should get byes.
Previously, teams in Setanta got a bye, which made sense.
Teams in Europe got a bye this time, not sure if that was deliberate or not.

I thought a draw was just made for the first two games in a certain region and any team that was not drawn to play in those two games get byes to the next round for example Cork vs Limerick drawn, followed by Waterford vs Avondale and the remaining teams received byes. Luck of the draw.

What's the craic with the next round, do you play the winners of the other tie in your pool, Bohs in our case? Is there a draw for home advantage or what?
There should be four teams in your pool and you'll play one of those. Bizarrely the press release seemed to indicate Mervue join Pats in there. That can't be right surely?

Yes it's all a bit strange. I'd just assumed we'd go out in the first round as usual so hadn't given it much thought.

Any Finn Harps fans on here at the game tonight? Did one of the Cockhill players actually get sent off for f*cking the ball at the ref??

last year we were knocked out in the league cup second round by Drogheda who were in our group after we beat Athlone in the 1st round!

The Setanta Cup teams will join in in the next round, padding out the pools.
I think.

So we were. We lost 6-0.. no wonder I'd blanked it out.

Yep, he was only on the field four minutes. In fairness to him, the referee was absolutely dire. And by dire, I mean, holy f**king sh*t dire.

Yeah, to bulk up the numbers they added Mayo League and 4 "Senior League" winners, Crumlin, Cockhill, Avondale and eh... Mervue. They then got one of the byes to the next round... But also are in the group with Pat's....
A bit like Gibraltar and Spain they couldn't be in the same group as Galway!!

11/03/2014, 12:57 AM
Yeah, Pats, Bohs, Mervue and Longford will make up 2 pairings
Hoping for Mervue away as Pats haven't played them competitively
Didn't cop that the Galway clubs were seperated

Avondale were unlucky in Waterford, went ahead early and had a huge penalty shout denied at the death.

Nope; Monday games are bad for me.
Would be nice to score a goal sooner rather than later. Purely going on Friday's game, we're actually tighter at the back than last year, which is good. Just we've no striker. Could of decent goalscoring wingers playing out of position up front maybe, but no out-and-out striker.
Yep, he was only on the field four minutes. In fairness to him, the referee was absolutely dire. And by dire, I mean, holy f**king sh*t dire.
Doesn't matter how bad the ref is, that was pure stupidity. And on another night Cockhill could of had 2 or 3 sent off, some very tasty tackles from them
