League Cup semi-final draw

We've got Shels away. Derry host Longford. Game on Monday the 7th or Tuesday the 8th of August, European commitments pending.

Good tie, I think. No travelling. Not sure what sort of team Shels will put out (been first-team so far, but with Europe, they might change things around), but if it's a first-team XI, it's rgeat experience for the likes of Derek Doyle, Brian Gannon, Conor Sammon, Aaron McEniff, etc. If it's a reserve team, it'll still be quality, but we'll have more of a chance of winning! :)

So Mad Tom was right, but how did he know? No travel expenses. Hopefully now that Shels have the full of their European campaign hitting them they'll be forced to field a weakened team. It'll be interesting to see Mahon's approach. I still harbour hope that this competition will get a Setanta spot and we'll get in it via the League Cup. But I've promised Stu a cup double so we'll get it by default when we win the other one. ;)
