The draw has been made for this year's Collingwood cup. It's in Limerick this year starting on Monday week and going on to the Friday. UCD have UL, St. Mary's and Magee in their group, with UL being first up on the first day of the competition. Draw here.
So what team are we sending to that? Think it alternates between the Freshers and the Superleague squad (I was training for a while with the team that went up there one year! One of the Betis made it up). Isn't that where Pat Burke was playing well last year before getting injured again?
If the freshers+ were playing the Harding, I'd imagine it would be the inters + some of the under 21s. There's no real reason to send an understrength team as it's pre-season, may as well give the players some competitive match practice.Quote:

Just heard UCD drew nil all with Limerick (i think) today.
Are UL strong this year does anyone know?

0-0 draw with UL yesterday and St. Mary's have pulled out so it's likely to come down to who beats Magee by more.
Anyone Know Where You Can Get Daily Results For The Collingwood.
UCD beat Magee 5 nil yesterday with goals from McWalter (2), Conor Salmon (2) and Paul Byrne. So UL must beat Magee by more than 5 goals today to progress. Anyone know wat will happen if they score 5? Draw lots?
I've known it happen b4 when 2 teams finish with same points etc, the two have to come out and have a penalty shoot-out.
Any word from jordanstown, ucc, nuig group???
I haven't found anywhere online anyway. The UL website seems blissfully unaware of the competition and any other sites mentioning it just have the draw at best.Quote:

Podgo's playing?! :eek: How on earth did we not beat UL with that team (or at least, a team with those scorers)?! :confused:
The Irish Times are usually good for scores in their Sports Round-Up section, I think.
From the Collingwood website - UL only beat Magee 2-0, so we're through to the Cup semis. We're playing DIT today at 2:00, with the winners to meet either UCC or DU (also played at 2:00 today - Trinity are managed by Robbie Mac's dad!). UL are into the plate final.
UCD squad is as follows -
Aaron McEneff
Brendan Fingleton
Brian Shortall
Conor Daly
Conor Sammon
Derek Doyle
Gary Dicker
Jason Bowers
Jimmy Hussey
Kevin Lagon
Kieran Harte
Neil Gallagher
Neil Keane
Patrick McWalter
Paul Byrne
Ryan Coyle
Seamus Long
Sean Geoghegan
Shane O'Connor
Stephen Cashen
Stephen Hurley
Steve Dillon
Manager - Diarmuid McNally
There's highlights of the UL game on that site here with hilariously biased commentary. :D
Into the final tomorrow at 2:00 v. UCC. Thought the results were knocking around somewhere, but I can't find them at the moment...
Incidentally, DIT have (an!) Éamon Zayed in the squad!
Way! Scores updated - we won 2-0. No sign of scorers yet though. UCC beat Trinity 4-2 to set up a repeat of last year's final.
UL beat UUJ 6-1 in the Plate final! :eek: Shows how good a team we put out!
We're kicking off in a couple of minutes... :cool:
