Some Big games to be played now
Be interesting with City Traveling to Clonmel
Moyross home draw huge for them and will be tough for North end to travel there now.
SYC and Micheals the final everyone wanted to see but again they meet earlier. I think Home advantage will sway the tie SYC way
Liffey/Neanagh V Donnycarney this game will be a lottery I think and real will be who is best over the 90 mins
Think these fixtures are to be played 21st/22nd March. If thats the case it'll be the third leg of 3 big gmes in a row for City Utd.
Sunday 8th March - City Utd 4 - 0 Boyle Celtic, these 2 are streets ahead of anything else in Sligo/Leitrim and have been Champions for the last number of years. Boyle held St Michaels to a 0-0 in the 6th round, Micks won 1-0 aet.
Sunday 15th March - City Utd v Westport Utd in the last 16 of the Connacht Cup, Westport are always there or thereabouts in the latter stages on Connacht Cup and usually get a decent run in FAI
Sunday 22nd March - Clonmel Celtic v City Utd, probably biggest game in City's history.
I'd fancy them to take care of Westport, but Clonmel will be a much tougher prospect and would be surprised to see City win down there.
Do bookies give odds on these matches
usually Paddy Power will have prices by the Friday of the game, I do try to post them up if I canQuote:

From The Junior Soccer Portal, a club by club guide:
Sheriff YC (Dublin)Manager – Alan ReillyCaptain – Paul MurphyBackground – Probably the best known side in Junior soccer at the moment following their back to back FAI Junior Cups in 2012 and 2013, they were knocked off their perch in 2014 by St. Michael’s. The Tipp side defeated them in last year’s semi final thanks to a sublime piece of skill from the Saints full back Brian Buckley, but the Dublin side are back at the business end of the Junior Cup again.32 goals in six matches and just three conceded have shown Sheriff’s intent in this year’s competition. A team that is littered with experience and Junior internationals they can boast the likes of John Lester, Lee Murphy, Keith Dunne and Darren Dunne, all of whom have plied their trade in the League of Ireland.Path to the Quarter FinalsRound 2 (A) Real Transalvania 8-0Round 3 (A) Usher Celtic 4-1Round 4 (H) Collinstown FC 3-1 (AET)Round 5 (H) Ardee Celtic 8-0Round 6 (H) Tramore FC 6-2Round 7 (H) Westport Utd 3-0
St. Michael’s (Tipperary)Manager – Jason PurcellCaptain – James “Chalky” WalshBackground – Reigning Champions St. Michael’s defeated Limerick’s Ballynanty Rovers 4-0 in last year’s FAI Junior Cup Final at the Aviva Stadium. This was their first Junior Cup since 1974. The Tipperary side, managed by Jason Purcell, a Junior Cup winner with the famous Fairview Rangers team, dispatched two-in-a-row winners Sheriff YC in last year’s semi final 1-0 to secure their place in the showpiece final.With a back line of experienced Irish amateur internationals including Ireland’s most capped amateur International, James Walsh, they have kept clean sheets in five of their six games in the Junior Cup so far. Tricky winger Jimmy Carr was the star of last year’s final with two goals and an assist at the Aviva Stadium and will be the one to watch as they look to defend their crown. FAI Chief Executive isHonourary Life President of the Club while Irish International Shane Long is an ex-player.Path to the Quarter FinalRound 2 (A) Kilmanahan FC 5-0Round 3 (A) St. Nicholas FC 6-3Round 4 (H) Kilsheelan FC 10-0Round 5 (H) Newmarket Cel. 2-1Round 6 (A) Boyle Celtic 1-0Round 7 (H) Evergreen FC 2-0
Clonmel Celtic (Tipperary)Manager – Kenny O’Shea & Karl CondonCaptain – Craig CondonBackground – A relatively new team with the club only formed in 2003, the Tipperary side have won the Tipperary South and District league and the Tipperary Cup. With 25 goals scored and just three conceded in their six outings in the Junior Cup so far they have been performing well at both ends of the pitch.They also boast some League of Ireland experience with Kevin Waters and Andrew Cosgrove. Both played with Waterford United while Waters also had a stint with Limerick. Luke Kiely was also capped for Ireland at Under 16 level.Path to the Quarter FinalRound 2 (H) Roscrea Utd 2-0Round 3 (H) Galbally FC 9-0Round 4 (H) Slivedarragh FC 5-0Round 5 (A) Tower FC 4-2Round 6 (A) FC Sportslink 3-0Round 7 (A) Clonmel Town 2-1
Donnycarney FC (Dublin)Manager – Thomas HearyCaptain – Mark LudlowBackground – The baby of this year’s competition, with the club only formed in 2011, they have a well known face at the helm. ThomasHeary played over 90 times for Huddersfiled before stints in the League of Ireland with Bohs and Dundalk amongst others. Brother of Sligo Rovers manager, Heary is probably best remembered for playing alongside the likes of Damien Duff and Robbie Keane in Brian Kerr’s golden generation of Irish underage teams.Donnycarney are the penalty kings having come through the last two rounds on spotkicks, knocking out Wayside Celtic and RivervalleyRangers to secure their place in the last eight.Path to the Quarter FinalsRound 2 (H) Eastwall Rovers 4-0Round 3 (A) Liffey Valley Rvs 2-0Round 4 (H) Athy FC 4-1Round 5 (H) Knocklyon FC 4-1Round 6 (H) Wayside Celtic (5)1-1(4)Round 7 (H) Rivervalley Rgs (6)0-0(5)
Moyross United (Limerick)Manager – Philip PowerCaptain – Keith ColbertBackground – The only Limerick side left in the competition, and continuing the county’s strong tradition in having representatives in the latter stages of the trophy. Scoring 13 goals away in their first game of the competition this season they found tougher tests along the way to the Quarter Finals, particularly the last round when they defeated a highly fancied Carrick United side, 2-1.Path to the Quarter FinalsRound 2 (A) Bruff Utd 13-0Round 3 (H) Shannon Utd 2-0Round 4 (A) Hill Celtic 1-0Round 5 (H) Cobh Wnds 4-1Round 6 (A) Clondalkin Cel 3-0Round 7 (H) Carrick Utd 2-1
City United (Sligo)Manager – John ConlonCaptain – Keith NibbsBackground – City United have been the dominant side in Sligo Leitrim football in recent seasons. They boast a host of former League of Ireland players with Colm Jinks, Keith Nibbs, Ross McLoughlin, Keith Carty, Neil McKenna and Damien Scanlon all turning out for the likes of Sligo Rovers, Dundalk, Longford and Athlone.The Sligo side has made arguably the most impressive run through the competition. Having comprehensively beaten 2013 semi finalists Carew Park 4-1 in Round 5, they then had two trips to Dublin. They defeated Cherry Orchard 2-0 and followed that up with a penalty shootout win over Crumlin United having equalised in the 91[SIZE=1]st[/SIZE] minute to send the game to extra time as part of a 2-2 draw.Path to the Quarter FinalsRound 2 (H) Conn Rovers 3-1Round 3 (A) Castlerea FC 5-1Round 4 (A) Aughanagh Cel 12-2Round 5 (H) Carew Park FC 4-1Round 6 (A) Cherry Orchard FC 2-0Round 7 (A) Crumlin Utd (7)2-2(6)
North End United (Wexford)Manager – John GodkinCaptain – Jason MurphyBackground – The Wexford & District League side have reached the Quarter Finals the tough way.John Godkin’s side have had away draws in five of their six matches to date and with their only home game seeing them dispatch 2013 semi finalists Pike Rovers from Limerick 2-1.Path to the Quarter FinalsRound 1 (A) Bagnalstown FC 9-0Round 2 (A) Bridgewood FC 3-0Round 3 (A) Willow Park FC 2-3Round 4 (A) Courttown Hibs 1-4Round 5 (A) Cork Eagles FC 4-0Round 6 (H) Pike Rovers 2-1Round 7 (H) Listowel Celtic 1-0
Nenagh Celtic (Tipperary)Manager – Robbie Ryan & Kevin FlanneryCaptain – Jimmy HynesBackground – Still to play their last 16 tie with Liffey Wanderers but despite that, this is the furthest the Tipp side has been in Junior soccer’s glamour competition. A win against the Dublin side will see a strong representation of sides from the Tipperary with three sides in the last eight from the Premier county.They will not fear a trip to Irishtown to take on Liffey Wanderers having dispatched of Valevew Shankhill on their own turf in the last 32. Their League of Ireland experience comes in the shape of Mark Walsh who played with Athlone. He was also capped for Ireland at youth level.Path to the Quarter FinalsRound 2 (H) Redmondstown FC 4-1Round 3 (H) Vee Rovers 6-0Round 4 (H) Oldbridge FC 4-3Round 5 (A) Leeview FC 2-0Round 6 (A) Valeview Shankill FC3-0Round 7 (A) Liffey Wanderers FC
Liffey Wanderers (Dublin)Manager – John YoungCaptain – David AndrewsBackground – The oldest club left in the competition having been formed in 1885, the team from Irishtown will be hoping to make it successive appearances in the FAI Junior Cup Quarter Finals. They will host Nenagh Celtic for a place in the last eight. Having reached the Quarter Finals last year they lost 1-0 to eventual finalists Ballynanty Rovers from Limerick. They have pedigree in the competition albeit when it was the Empire Cup winning three-in-a-row in 1904, 1905 and 1906. Having already knocked out 2013 finalists Kilbarrack United, Liffey will have an eye on going at least one step further this year provided they can get past a tough Nenagh Celtic Side.Path to the Quarter FinalsRound 2 (H) Blessington FC 3-1Round 3 (A) Ayrefield FC 0-2Round 4 (H) Kilbarrack FC 1-0Round 5 (A) Mervue FC (4)0-0(3)Round 6 (A) Villa FC 3-0Round 7 (H) Nenagh Celtic

Anyone know why Sheriff were not at captain's photo shoot at the Aviva last Tuesday. It's not as if they had far to go.

Is Liffey versus Nenagh on now or is it tomorrow any updates if its now thanks.
Full time score Liffey Wanderers 3, Nenagh Celtic 2. Nenagh led 1-0 at half-time. Liffey equalised and then went ahead before Nenagh made it 2-2. The winner for Liffey came in the 94th minute.Quote:

Gutted over the way the game ended last night but that's football for, it was a cracking cup tie that could have went either way and we wish Liffey Wanderers the best of luck in the future.
Liffey will give up advantage of playing in rings end as they can't take a gate at irishtown so game will be played at a different venue to irishtow
Game provisionally fixed for
Sat 28th crumlin utd ground 7;00pm KO is the provisional date for game
St Michael's protest about pitch in Dublin statement on aul website
Following concerns raised regarding the suitability of Clontarf Astro to host the FAI Junior Cup quarter final clash between Sheriff YC and St.Michaels this Sunday I am delighted to say that the FAI Junior Council Key Committee paid a visit to the venue and declared it suitable to stage the game. Nothing has changed in this venue for the last four years and in that time it has staged Senior Cup games against Airtricity sides Dundalk and Longford Town without any issues so for these concerns to be raised at this time baffles everyone.
Strange that liffey moved so fat away from home ground they have just given up home advantageQuote:
