Is that possibly up to 6 Cork teams in the 1st round?

Seems to be an increase on recent years?

not much news on the FAI site about this seasons FAI Cup - isit being kept a secret?

Still, in keeping with last season the 1st round is ignored until the 2nd round draw is made and there's the usual talk about 'giantkillers' and 'landlords against tenants'.

If you do go to Citywest however there is always the chance of appearing on 6.1 and pretending to be connected to any of the clubs represented.
