Just the kind of game thats needed after the Mons debacle. 4-0 Limerick.
This won't be a cakewalk. Tolka are a decent standard and confidence will be low. A scrappy 1-0 win would be great.
I'd like to see s strong team out - not that I'd imagine Scully really cares about the cup, but after the last two losses, a win is needed to put them behind us and set us up for the Harps game.
A draw might not be such a bad result - means an extra match but it puts off the Harps match til after the break, giving us time for a few players to rest and get over injuries, and hopefully one or two new faces to bolster the squad.
Actually nevermind, we'll win both matches anyway.
Any ex-LOI players in the Tolka squad ?
HERES THERE TEAM FROM TRALEE GAME
Tolka Rovers: Martin Crawley, Brian Fitzpatrick, Stephen Costello, Alan McDermott, Stephen Murtagh, Mark O’Neill, Mark Sheridan, John Mulcahy (Stephen Comerford 60 mins), Derek Swan, Shane Hughes, Gavin Quinn (Alan Bennett 80 mins). Subs not used Rory Guinan, Darragh McGovern, Sean Gorman.
Only name that I'd recognise from that list is Derek Swan.
He'd be 43 now so its probably not him, but he was a serious striker in his day.
That wiki article says his son Derek is also a footballer.Quote:

4th Rd
Mervue or Sporting Fingal v Limerick
Awful draw. Most likely an away game to a Premier team with one of the worst home crowds in the league.Quote:

One third of this gate won't amount to much, and it would be a very tricky match also. Dublin based Premier clubs are quite fickly supported in Cup games against lower league opposition, as they automatically presume they will win through. Rovers only attracted a crowd of less than 1500 against Wexford last week and they average double that for a league game.Quote:
