Well folks spoke to Lifford's coach yesterday when he rang me to find out the draw and he reckons he is missing so many players that Lifford will lose.

Can someone please explain to me what the point is of giving teams byes? I used to think it was cos there was an uneven number entered so the team that was left over just went through to the next round as they had no team to play.

This is obviously not the case as loads of teams get byes.

Help :confused:

Any one know where combined league from!!!

Have you ever had to run a knock-out competition and do fixtures for it?
If you did you would know that the ideal number is a multiple of eight.
32 then a round of 16 then a round of 8 then the semi-finals and a Final as is the case with the FAI Senior Challenge Cup.

This year the WFAI Senior Cup had 21 entrants. The first task is to reduce the number to 16 to enable what I outlined above to take place.
How you do that is have 5 First round ties. The Five qualifiers from that round join the other 11 to make the last 16. And the third round will be the Quarter-finals and this will lead to semi-finals and the final.
Alles klar? :ball:

date's
1st round 10/09/06

2nd round 1/10/06

Q-Finals 29/10/06

Semi- final 19/11/06

Final 3/12/06

The ladies team in Dundalk was called Dundalk City in anticipation of the town being made a city.
The team that won the WFAI Cup last year was assumed into Dundalk FC in the close-season and now plays under the title Dundalk FC. However, a number of the playing and managerial staff did not agree with this and established what is in the eyes of the administrators essentially a new club (though the club would argue otherwise, and I don't know the full facts) called Dundalk City FC

Challenge match in Buttevant on Sunday - Cork League 0 Limerick League 1. Don't know if victory was deserved or not. Only know that Cork seemed to have a full squad (approx 18 players) and Limerick only had 2 subs. Limerick couldn't use Lifford players as Lifford are also competing in Senior Cup.
Anyone got any info on the game?

Any other game's played?
ballina (mayo) play a cork team next sunday in limerick in all-ireland final irish cup
