2025 FAI Cup

FAI Cup second round draw:
Kerry v Athlone Town

No big draw for now. Kerry have a 100% record of getting to the Last 16. Had to beat Cobh away last year to get through. Will expect to advance to the Last 16. The 10 premier clubs avoided each other so there will be a high probability of a Premier opponent in the Last 16 if we advance.

Was hoping for one of top Dublin clubs away. Athlone will be a hard sell crowd wise. Hopefully we can get past them and then get a big draw.

Finn Harps v UCD
Bray Wanderers v Wayside Celtic
Salthill Devon v St Michael’s
Bangor Celtic v Cobh Ramblers

If we get through to the Last 16, it'll most likely be a Premier opponent or a winner from these. Would prefer a Premier club we haven't played before coming to MH Park, otherwise a reasonable game to go further and get a Premier club at home in the quarter finals.
