Buzzin' already! :D

Just out of curiosity, who does everyone want to win the Cup? Any preference?

If not us, I'd pick Waterford.

From the perspective of the good of the Eircom league I hope Drogheda, provided the runners up don't get into the UEFA(I am not quite sure does that only apply if the cup winner got into the CL). I want Ireland's European co-efficient to be pushed up and want our best clubs in Europe to do so and I do not think the other three clubs are much up to the task.

If the runners up do get into the UEFA then I hope anyone but the Drogs win as I am not too fond of Doolin.

derry,drogs or longford ;)
