How does this year's tournament kick-off with the Drogheda v Dungannon 'meeting of the minnows' game ? Does that start earlier than the other games that night ? :confused:

Olly was afraid that if too many kid's tickets were given out for free, there'd be no-one to watch Shels..... :p

Sorry ndrog - but when it comes to this year's Setanta Cup, Drogheda and Dungannon are the smallest clubs from each side of the border in it. There's no denying that. Winning a trophy doesn't change that fact,

I think they meant the cross border kids programme kicked off with the Dungannon v Drogs game (2 clubs close enough to each other & no history of animosity) in case any trouble?
