Touhy Cup 2008/09

[oscar]

anyone else hear this competition to be played under lights this season

[Goals4fun]

no but would be a good idea.
also they should seed the teams from the premier in the lawson and introduce them late on.

[svillerovers]

[quote=Goals4fun;986767]no but would be a good idea.
also they sh

Yeah 2 great ideas to be honest...That should shorten the fixture list a whole lot...Maybe introduce the prem teams in the 3rd round or something..Thats 2 les games for each premier club which would make a huge difference in the fixtures.

Heard the same one game a week under lights in Jackman and the final to be played Paddy's weekend.

[oscar]

should bring a bit of interest back to the competion,i think last years top 4 should get a bye to the quater finals and be seeded,the other 8 teams would then go into an open draw,with the 4 winners then drawn against the seeded teams,just a thought

yeah that sounds good, 4 first round games, 4 quarter finals, 2 semis and the final, thats 11 games, if they played 1 every Wednesday night in Jackman starting in January, it would bring it right up to Paddys weekend.

[dalegend]

Everyone seems to have heard but is it offical?

[oscar]

any further developments on how this competition will be run this season and when it will kick off???

[allab]

Great idea, and about time the LDMC used their brain.

Maybe they could do the same now with the Div 1A or Div 1B cup and play the games on Tuesday nights under lights also, thus minimizing the fixture pile up and freeing up refs for weekend games....

when does it start

[abbeyvale]

when does it start

Heard a rumour (not sure how true) that it was due to commence on Thursday 08th January.

4 first round games, 4 quarter finals, 2 semi finals and final (totalling 11 Thursday's) with the final being played in mid March.

[oscar]

only fixtures i know of are pike v wembley, corbally v balla

so when did the draw take place,are these fixtures definate?

[Abbey Road]

when does it start

Great idea to have this under lights especially to solve the fixture conjestion that usually occurs on season end.They used to have the 'floodlit' cup on there years ago and that was a good success under lights.

[hula4]

am playing up in dublin at the moment and we play our home games on a friday night and its great, attracts great crowds and frees up the weekends, id highly recommend it

[allab]

so when did the draw take place,are these fixtures definate?

Took place at the meeting tuesday night and those 2 fixtures are definate

Should be a good game...Pike's first real test in league or cup in about 2 months.....They've been blessed with their respective FAI and MJC draws playing lower league teams week in , week out and most of them were at home..

wembly could win sure pike will play there fringe players

[widow]

I don't know I think since this is now on under lights that its after giving this competition alot more interest. Players will want to play as many games in it as possible. Think Pike will want to win this one, anyway players coming in are as strong as what is playing in my opinion

[oscar]

true,they have a great squad,alot of those FRINGE players would walk on to any team in town

[sorelooser]

pike v wembley match off jackman unplayable!!!!!!!!!!!

it is up to now anyway...

[timmy]

is this game going ahead or what, does anybody know

In the paper that its on tommorow (wed) half 7. not that much rain so should go ahead.

[Balbec77]

pike will surely start a strong side to give players a blow out for the balla match sunday,saying that any 11 pike put out is a strong side

Nabs O'Neill finishes his suspension tonight for Pike and will be available to play Balla in the League on Sunday............

Nabs O'Neill finishes his suspension tonight for Pike and will be available to play Balla in the League on Sunday............

Amazing a midweek game played for Pike to finish a suspension when Dunphy for Balla has been out five weeks and his suspension was up last Monday but still has to serve domestic suspension and Balla had no match last weekend.!! LDMC suspensions are absolutely riduculous Nabs got 3 matches from Munster Council and Dunphy got 4 weeks plus automatic match from LDMC for what I believe was a similar offence

[leather]

Nabs should also have to serve 1 match automatic suspension from councl

[abbeyvale]

Nabs should also have to serve 1 match automatic suspension from councl

Think he got 2 games plus 1 from council

He is which is a domestic game which is tonight in the Touhy which makes him eligible to play against Balla on Sun, Dunphys suspension up last Mon but has to serve domestic match this Sun as Balla had no game last week or any domestic game in 5 weeks.

Penalties from both sides were really bad.
