What is the full draw?

[feo123]

Manor Rangers away to Corduff in QF.

what are corduff like?

[The Bit O'Red]

Not sure, they're only in the 2nd tier of the AUL though and the bookies were making them the biggest outsiders last week although this might change now with a home draw.

I would feel that Manor have beaten better teams than Corduff this season and should have nothinng to fear. It's a great chance for them to make it through to the semi's.

[KUFCMan]

Corduff Are No Mugs.they Play In Premier B Alright But Are As Good As Most Teams In Premier A And Will Probably Get Promoted This Season!big Local Support Underestimate Them At Your Peril!

[soccerc]

what are corduff like?

On their day Corduff can play outstanding football.

They need a little more consistency and to lose the little bit of naivety they sometimes display.

I'd disregard the division they are playing in as they would easily compete in the AUL Premier A.

The home draw is a huge advantage to them.

They've been knocking on the door for a few seasons and this could be their year, it would be perilous of Manor to ignore the quality they have or to take them for granted based on bookies odds. (How many bookies have actually seen them play?)

[The Bit O'Red]

Will this game be played in Corduff? Somebody mentioned that it may be played in the AUL Complex?

[KUFCMan]

Redcastle V Carrick
Corduff V Manorhamilton
Clonmel Town V Killester/ballynanty/ballina
St Michaels V Castlebar(not Sure Whos At Home Here)

Thats The Full Draw I Think!

[JC_GUFC]

Castlebar are at home.

[zizu's head]

The full draw is:

Redcastle (Donegal) v Carrick United ( Waterford )

Castlebar Celtic (Mayo) v St. Michael's ( TSDL )

Corduff (Dublin AUL) v Manor Rangers (Sligo/Leitrim)

Clonmel Town ( TSDL )v Killester United (Dublin AUL) or Ballynanty Rovers (Limerick) or Ballina Town (Mayo)

[JC_GUFC]

Revised Odds:

http://odds.bestbetting.com/football/european-leagues/rep--of-ireland/fai-junior-cup/winner

Generous odds between the only 2 bookies offering odds!

Does anyone know what will happen with qualifying for the FAI Senior Cup?

With the new A-League there are 3 extra teams into the 2nd round so that means only 7 places for non-league teams. FAI probably don't know themselves!

Manorhamilton Rangers injury time winner V Douglas Hall

:eek:
The reaction of the Douglas Hall players says it all!

[The Bit O'Red]

Corduff v, Manor Rangers on 2nd March in St. Mochtas (Clonsilla) according to the Corduff website. Anybody know the kick off time?

[Dr Mad]

That clip is class! Who is the guy in the wellys doing the David Pleat Jig of Joy?? Quality.

[The Bit O'Red]

That would be the Manor Rangers "lifer", affectionately known as "Rav", as in the silver haired Fabrizio Ravanelli.

Some way to win it.

I just got word that kick off for the Corduff game is at 2pm on 2nd March.

Are Manor Rangers players local? wouldn't have thought that town of with a population of 1,158 (597 male- census 2006) would have gone this far! Fair play to you! Never been to MAnorhamilton, whats the underage structure like? Best of luck in the rest of the competition!

[The Bit O'Red]

That's probably the population of the town alright but as with many provincial towns there's a large hinterland. Players from all over North Leitrim. They play in the Sligo/Leitrim league, the Leitrim bit is literally Manorhamilton as there are no other clubs from Leitrim in the league (although I think that Carrick-on-Shannon have underage teams).

Decent under age structure but Manorhamilton is more a GAA town so the soccer often suffers from that.

The under 18's won the Connaught Cup shield last year or the year before.

[prionsias9]

Who won the match between Killester and Ballynanty.

[KUFCMan]

Killester 2-1 Ballynanty.man Of The Match Balla Keeper.killester Play Ballina Next Week

[Dr Mad]

Comfortable win for killester.

nobody to touch them.

Lump on if you can still get 3/1 - I got them a while back and its paying for the summer holidays. Hate the ba$tards but at least I will get some good out of them.

[JC_GUFC]

Slashed to 5/2 after today's win!

Still a very tough QF for them at Clonmel if they manage to beat Ballina! :)

[The Bit O'Red]

Was anybody here at Corduff's last FAI Junior Cup game? Did they have a man sent off, who was it if they did?

[Dr Mad]

Bit O'Red do your own dirty work without looking for a squealer!

Plenty of ways to find out that info without looking for snitches!

And by the way Corduff are an excellently run club and will not play a player if he is under suspension. IF.

[The Bit O'Red]

Jeez, relax the cax Doc. Somebody just mentioned it today, the thought that they would field an illegal player never entered my mind. I was just trying to find out if it was correct.

[DonalE]

They play in the Sligo/Leitrim league, the Leitrim bit is literally Manorhamilton as there are no other clubs from Leitrim in the league (although I think that Carrick-on-Shannon have underage teams).

Carrick Town and Inishfree Celtic are in the Premier League

[The Bit O'Red]

Correct, sorry, I forgot about Inishfree.

[messer]

Will A.U.L. officials be in charge on Sunday?

Will A.U.L. officials be in charge on Sunday?

I wouldn't have thought so.

[new blood]

was at the killester v balla match i do agree balla keeper was man of the match . i was not to impressed with the so called dream team (killester) imo very hard to see 6 international players on the pitch apart from the 2 centre forwards who both looked like super players.also i hope someone from killester can clear something up for me when portmarnock played pike they had a guy playing up front for them who looked exactly like the number 14 you brought on i hope he was just his twin cause otherwise you could be in serious trouble..

[Dr Mad]

If you knew anything at all about Portmarnock and Killester you would know that the last comment is laughable.

Yea, as far as I'm aware they are twins. Killester haven't played for weeks in a competitive game so they didn't do too bad!

You might be confusing a fella known as Wanchope with a midfielder from Killester. There is a resemblence.

Portmarnock and Killester dont mess around like that.

We played Killester two years ago in the last 32 and they beat us 2-1. We were hoping they would play a keeper who played with Malahide in the intermediate.

We learned a lesson that day on a number of fronts. Succesful clubs rarely if ever mess up when it comes to rules and organisation. The second was Killester didn't panic away from home and stood firm and thats why they are doing so well. organisation.

I noted Clonmel town through to the SF of the munster senior cup. Dont write them off in the junior.

killester played greystones, and lost in the leinster junior cup a week before the balla game, surely thats competitive??

[macca]

Was at the Killester vs Balla game.The best team won the day and we would like to wish them the best of luck in the rest of the competition.Thaught the Balla management got it wrong on a couple of decision s they made.

their 2nd was in LJC prob sprinkled with a few sun players as they supposed to be one squad?

Was talking to an old St Michaels player on Saturday and he told me that when Michael's last won the FAI in 1974, they beat Castlebar in Castlebar in the q/finas. So if omens are anything to go by, its Saints who will be lifitng the FAI this year.
