Anyone know when the draw for the next round is ?

[Schumi]

Do the winners of these games qualify for the first round of next year's FAI Cup?

[eoinh]

i think so yes. plus four junior clubs

[Rovers Fellow!]

Yes, the 16 winners qualify for first round with 4 semi finalist of junior cup. The ten winners join the Eircom league clubs in next round.

[Rovers Fellow!]

Mount Merrion also got a few Dublin City players when Roddy let them go, but I think they have since left. They all get paid few quid aswell, but these players havent guaranteed success, they have lost 2 games in league although they are in contention.

Would love to get Mount Merrion in the FAI Cup next year, could hardly get a more local derby. The MM schoolboy club is one of the school boy clubs we work with but have no official ties with the senior club any more. Would get a lot of local interest, although crowd would still be tiny.

Yes that tie would stuff the place. Although in 1997 we blew the biggest chance we are likely to get to pack the ground for a Cup Tie.
Played Bray in the First Round and lost..... Bray came out of the hat next round away to Trinners. Now that game should have been Trinners V UCD and that would have packed the place. Assuming they had agreed to switch it to Belfield... ah well... UCD V Mount Merrion is still a possibility at this stage.

Well some year we might get Pegasus ... that would be more local as the Grads play in Belfield

Sorry but no body at Mount Merrion gets paid. All players have to pay subs!!

[drummerboy]

HO ho ho, you got to be kidding. Everybody in the LSL knows Mount Merrion have been paying players for years now. I know this for a fact.

[dublinwanderer]

how would you know? i know someone involved in the club and he said nobody gets paid.
although they have loads of ex-league players including david gill dublin city, alan king kildare/bray, dermot fitzpatrick bray, fred davis monaghan, ian douglas bohs, donal broughan dundalk/crusaders, alban hysa dublin, mick scully monaghan and a few more.................
