It would be nice to see a few clubs from the 'weaker' leagues(Donegal/Inishowen/Cavan/Monaghan/Kildare/Wicklow/Clare/Carlow/Sligo/Leitrim/Roscommon) progress to the quarters for a change. No offence meant to any clubs in the mentioned leagues. I just would like to see the monopoly of the big (Fairview/Pike/Clonmel Town/St. Micheals/Carrick/KUFC/Ballymun and the likes) clubs broken up a bit and a bit of variety/novelty in the last 8. Again no offence to the 'big' clubs mentioned.
Suppose it might be a bit too much to wish for
