The draw is being made at the National Museum at Collins Barracks, Dublin, tonight at 5.30pm.

Not too sure whether it is being covered by the national media at all, but should be on the 6.01 news at least. I'm sure it will be here as soon as it happens!

eL Clubs:


Cork City
Derry City
Drogheda United
Shelbourne


Irish League Clubs:


Dungannon
Glentoran
Linfield
Portadown

Dungannon support tend to use www.irishleagueforums.net

They have a nice wee setup at Stangemore Park, although it might be a bit small is there is any size of travelling support

There's no mention of it on the Setanta listings. Surely they'll have the draw live on their own channel....??

As for Dungannon Swifts - they're one of the rash of clubs that the Irish League let in when they went through 2 series of dramatic expansion a few years back. They've done well on the pitch for the last couple of seasons, but like a lot of their peers who were elevated to senior football at that time, they are in essence a very small club with limited local support. All that's changed really since their junior football days is the standard of their ground and the opposition.

I suspect they don't want live cameras there for when Derry and Linfield 'magically' end-up in separate groups..... :)
