Carew Park vs Pike this sunday

Should be a great game,Carew park to win with a bit to spare for me,i'll go 3-1 Carew park

[Treaty Gooner]

Agree. Carew for me, Pike missing Hanrahan, big loss. Thin squad again in Crossagalla.

[faceoff]

Spot on there boys.

[Fairkop]

Great result for Pike in a poor game,Pike defence in top form considering Carews front 4 though a few of them looked unfit to me.Carew keeper should have done better for goal.

[deadly man]

Spot on there boys.

Lol,good result for ye today,glad to see you back on here faceoff

[passandmove]

Very poor game, woeful goal to lose a big match , both teams never showed up

[Treaty Gooner]

Win some, lose some I suppose

[donthaveaclue]

Can anybody tell me how many subs can be made in an fai game is it the 3 or 5?

[Shearer]

5 to the best of my knowledge.

[Xmas3Formation]

Any chance of a cork team getting involved for a change?
for me Knocknaheeny Celtic & Grattan are the 2 most likely candidates
but don`t know if they have enough to compete.

[ForzaForth]

North End of Wexford beat Janesboro 2-1 today. Good away result for the Slaneysiders.

[Shearer]

That's the competition blown open even more, Janesboro were the best chance of a Limerick side winning it.

[faceoff]

They obviously weren't .Fools that thought they were.Why would anyone think there Limericks best chance is beyond me.Can't understand there reasoning.Pike are Limericks best chance and always have been.Boro will always come up short as usual

[Treaty Gooner]

Disagree. Pike have experience in spades which, along with a home draw, counts for an awful lot. Boro had a big talented squad but very little experience compared to Pike.

But ya, even more so now it's anyone's trophy.

[deadly man]

how did regional get on today ?

[passandmove]

As I said last July on the limerick forum doesn’t matter who boro sign they will play the same old heads and get knocked out of fai ......1st sign of madness is doing the same aul thing and expect different results!!!!

[Shearer]

how did regional get on today ?
Won 1-0.

[deadly man]

They obviously weren't .Fools that thought they were.Why would anyone think there Limericks best chance is beyond me.Can't understand there reasoning.Pike are Limericks best chance and always have been.Boro will always come up short as usual

In fairness they went into the fai as last years league winners and are currently running away with the league,they didn't get the luck with the draw unlike Pike who got Kilfrush and Hill and that is no disrespect to either of those teams,they also brought in Mawdsley who started very well for the club scoring goals so i can see where lads optimism was coming from regarding boro's chances

Luck of the draw?if they're that good the draw shouldn't matter.Always be the bridesmaids.And as for Mawdsley.Big games big players.I rest my case

Disagree!! It was a home draw and north end while they are a good side they are no world beaters, poor result for boro that's the trophy they want, big game players need to produce on the big occasion in boro

[Shearer]

I want to preface all of this by saying I have no Janesboro allegiance, in fact I'm from the Desmond League.

You seem to have a serious bone to pick with Janesboro, the mind boggles.
The luck of the draw absolutely matters, Sheriff have had bags of it in recent years and were put out of the competition by a strong Usher side. Not to say that Sheriff are no good, but if they'd gotten sticky draws earlier on in the competition in previous years then they might not have won as many.

In fairness I heard from someone who was at Sheriff vs North End in the Leinster Junior Cup and he said they were a great outfit, same person said they could win the FAI after yesterday's game.

[fatboyslim]

When is the draw for the next round?!?!

[rooster]

When is the draw for the next round?!?!

There is lots of good sides left in but if you go back to the history books they have reached the latter stages of the competition but always fell short, home draw is important and boro had the home draw just were unlucky on the day failed to take their chances they will fight on.

friday

Seems to be to be on Thursday evening.

[Fairkop]

Agree with Shearer on the Janesboro bashing on here.Every big club has the Fai cup top of the list.A few weeks back a Ballananty team full of ex league of ireland recruits lost to Janesboro and a very fancied Carew Park lost to Pike didnt see anyone muttering on those defeats....big games big players .Best of luck to all the Limerick teams in the draw,though obviously one particular team wont mind who they get.

[Treaty Gooner]

I think the Boro bring it on themselves with the way they run their club. The same way another Limerick club, successful in recent years also, with similar practices, was treated. Right or wrong, if you do business like that, you've got to take criticism on the chin.

[Xmas3Formation]

Knocknaheeny Celtic of Cork will have an outside chance without having any superstar ex LOI players or anything like that.
Very good side, won away from home at the weekend and nobody will want to play them up in knocknaheeny. They`d have a big scalp in them if getting a home draw.

I wouldn't agree,every club would have realistic targets and local trophies would be a target for most, the boro target would obviously be the fai but they have still lots to play for and for people to right their season off because of one loss is crazy.

[Shearer]

Who are the last club from Cork to win the competition? Would like to see how many winners have come from each county, might get around to doing it over Christmas when I'm free.

[Johnnie C]

1940s since a Cork side last one it, all the top Cork sides play at intermediate level.

Thought as much, cheers.

Pike vs Regional, harsh draw there.

[The Saint]

The last time a Cork AUL team won the FAI Junior Cup was 1974 when St Michael's from Tipperary won it. Between 1973/74 they won FAI, Munster Junior, Cork AUL and AOH Cup. Great time in club's history.

[faceoff]

I'll guarantee you here and now North End will win no FAI.When your in hat for last 64 it shouldn't matter who you draw if you have ambitions of winning it outright.And I don't believe that boro stalwarts believe they can win.They watch them week in week out and the word is they will never win it without a good defence and 2 strong midfielder.Its the people outside the club who build them up as potential winners every single year.I do agree a bit of luck in draw is handy but my point is if your drawn at home to anyone left you should be beating them if as people say.But how many years is this being said?And what happens.Boom out.Has always been like that as they've never won it.And Ryan won't win it for them either.They brought in Dermot Finnan to try wrestle it.no joy.There's was one man I believe may have got them there but I dunno if they ever pursued it or he declined.

[faceoff]

Confusing."Last time a Cork AUL team won it was St Michaels from Tipperary.
Bit odd no?

Boro are a good side there is no denying that they have a good record locally but the fai seems to be a step too fair for them, missing glories chances in the big games are hurting them, Shane Clarke and Aaron nunan locally are very good players but both records in big games are very poor. Is the league a realistic target for them?.
