[Buzzer]

Geraldines 2-1 Knockainey
Regional 4-1 Bruff Utd
Pike Rvs 4-0 Knocklong
Fairview 3-1 wembley ( close enough game)
Carew 3-2 Granville Rgs

would agree with all the predictions above.
if it does turn out that way,then limerick would have a very strong representation in the open draw stages,no disrespect intended to bruff,knocklong etc.

Games to be played on orbefore weekending 22nd/23rd November 2008. .
.
WATERFORD .
1 Carrick Utd. v Johnville F.C. .
2 Bohemians v Waterford Crystal.

the waterford pairing's looks difficult to call,also tralee dyn and newcastlewest fixture
how are peake villa doing these days in tipp.south??
that looks like the tie of the round ,although i'm not too well up how the league is going down there.

[keith.henn]

sligo/leitrim/roscommon 4th round draw is:

Arrow Harps v Carbury FC
City Utd v Ballinasloe Town
Strand Celtic v Manor Rangers

Carbury should be too strong for Arrow Harps, Manor have had a slow start to the season, GAA team won the championship this year but they're getting back on track again, Strand are ticking along nicely in the league, but i'll plump for Manor. If Ballinasloe are a patch on their team of a few years ago they could be too strong for City Utd eventhough City are top of the Super League.

But its cup football anything can happen. Its an achievement to get out of the section to the national draw, only three teams from the three counties make it.

As both Carrick and Crystal have won the FAI Cup in the last couple of years it would seem pretty clear cut in Waterford

thanks for the info....just going on reputations from maybe a while back.
both johnville and bohs are well known throughout junior soccer,as are carrick and cyrstal.
just said i'd ask as winning an fai does not mean you'll hold your players...it can mean a whole new rebuilding process after the senior clubs take the best of them.
case in point being fairview,won the trophy in 2004 and have not even won a local trophy since,nor a mind a provincial or national.
admittedly,after that, a host of players left to go league of ireland so it was always going to be tough

Carrick Utd are unique in the sense that all of the team that won the Cup last year were with the club from schoolboy level upwards. I think only one of their players left to join a LOI club.
Bohs and Johnville have always been strong although the latter are going through somewhat of a lull.

Sunday November 23rd
FAI Junior Cup
Regional Utd v Bruff Utd, 10.30, Dooradoyle, E Quaide
Pike Rvs v Knocklong, 10.30, Pike Club, S Jordon
Newport v Janesboro, 10.30, Newport, M Bourke

Predictions
Regional Utd 3-0 Bruff Utd

Crystal v Bohs should be interesting. Bohs beat Crystal in the league a number of weeks back

Think Carrick will come through with a win against Johnville

[smasher]

great cup tradition associated with the four teams , should be cracking

anyone any informatiom on rock rovers lads,how they are doing in the league,what's their set up like etc.
the winners of fairview and wembley are down to play them in the next round.
and no it's no cockiness or arrogance!!!
i'm sure wembley players and management would be interested to know as well

[leather]

Lads , anybody know anything about castlebridge celtic??? what league, facilities etc?

thanks

[useless]

The Rock are a match for anyone at home.Im sure some of the Clonmel Town supporters on this site will agree with that.They will love a crack at Fairview if they get through Wembley.Their league form to date has been inconsistent but the Gaa is now over and they are starting to assemble a full squad.Fairview or Wembley will probably have to much for them but wont be straight forward.

[alidiei]

Round 3

Strand Ath v Kilbarrack Utd

Round 4

Strand Ath or Kilbarrack Utd v St Francis
Millford Utd v Redcastle

Round 5

Strand Ath/Kilbarrack/St Francis v Millford or Redcastle

A long journey south for the winners between Millford or Redcastle facing the winners of Strand Ath(Prem c)Kilbarrack(Prem A) or St Francis(LSL).We Kilbarrack are struggling at the minute but could get thru the next 2 games where Im sure Redcastle would be favourites to progress!

[Towelie]

anybobdy know anything about westport utd or mulranny fc!!!!!!

Don't know anything about Mulranny but Westport are one of the top teams in the country.
We played them 3 years ago(the year they won it) and I have to admit that they were the best junior side we have played against.I dont know if they're still as strong but they would be among the favourites to win the trophy every year.

[Silly Billy G]

Coolock Town ? Anyone know anything about them, what division or standard they are ?

[Jock MIB]

anybobdy know anything about westport utd or mulranny fc!!!!!!

PM username Thunderblaster and ask him about Westport, he's Mr Westport :) you'll get all the info you need even maybe formations and players to watch :)

[hula4]

Any info on Trinity Corinthians and Bluebell?
Did Trinity win the leinster junior cup in the last few years?

bluebell would be bluebell uniteds second team, they won the top leinster senior league saturday division last year, they will be fairly decent to be fair. dont know much about trinity corinthians but id fancy bluebell to beat them. bluebell have very good facilities right next to the red cow roundabout
