Hospital took Killmallock to ET, Castle beat Balla in the round before, its a cup, its what happens. the main difference as to why teams like knockainey beat carew is because they play for each other, because most of them are close mates. and also a 'devastating defeat' for carew. lads its sunday league football lads!

Balla are still in the FAI.. Castle actually dumped Star rovers out.

Always thought the 5th round (ie first round for out of town stages) was played 10-14 days before Xmas??? (it was a few years back anyway)

I thought you were moving out the West Limerick side Abbeyvale ?

This weekends FAI Junior cup games in Waterford and my predictions:
Piltown v Carrick -Carrick
Tramore v Waterford Crystal - Tramore(maybe aet)

Shame only 2 sides to come out of Waterford when u see the recent record of many of their sides.

Totally agree. This point has already been made on this thread (page 16 onwards) and also backed up by statistics , compounding the inequality of the system.
Indeed, as has been shown, WJL clubs have the highest success ratio in the country!

Joke of a system is right. Most teams that come out of Waterford get to last 16 (at least) if not better. Im sure this year will be no different.
I hear Grant & Grincell both out of tramores side for 2moro nite which gives Crystal a decent chance but with Tramores squad still fancy em to squeeze through just !
Tonights game in Kildalton park between Piltown and Carrick shud be a cracker but u have to still fancy the Carrick.

Not sure when the City v Boyle game is, we're due to play City on the 5th Dec, I can see that game biting the dust in favour of the FAI game. Connacht Cup is done for 12th Dec

you could be right about Ballymoe, Manor have gone right off the boil lately and have had a few poor results in the league. having said that, they're at home in the 4th round of the FAI Junior cup, so they should be able to up their performance with whats at stake. They reached the quarters 2/3 years back.

Yeah, looking forward to tonight's game. I reckon Piltown will put up a strong challenge and the game may not be the foregone conclusion people expect.
I think it is up to WJL to put up a strong case regarding the obvious imbalance in the qualification numbers from the league, something which has been sadly lacking up to now.

anyone have the odds for Junior Cup???

Pike rovers
10/3 St Kevins Boys 25/1 Ballina Town 40/1 Killester 13/2 Ballynanty Rangers 25/1 Iorras Aonthaithe 40/1 Sherriff YC 10/1 Corduff FC 25/1 Clonmel Celtic 40/1 Athenry FC 14/1 Tramore 25/1 Kilmallock 40/1 Carrick UTD 16/1 Carew Park 28/1 Killarney Athletic 50/1 Clonmel Town 16/1 Rock Celtic 28/1 Newcastle West 50/1 Willow Park 20/1 St Pauls 33/1 Sandyhill 50/1 St Michaels 22/1 Galway Hibs 33/1 Kilbarrack 50/1 Westport Utd 25/1 Baldoyle Utd 33/1 Bellurgan 66/1 St Peters 25/1 Crumlin utd 33/1

Cant really argue with Pike being favourites, 1/4 finalists last year who have already knocked out the defending champions, but 10/3 is very skimpy

If Carrick Utd play anything like they did against Tramore , they would be too strong for Piltown. But word has it Carrick were poor against St Josephs and Southend, so making this a tricky
local derby. Tramore v Crystal is one not to be missed . Crystal winning recent Munster Cup game v Tramore only adds spice to the game . Tramore were not happy with the condition of pitch in Crystal,
claiming grass was deliberatly left long to hinder Tramore`s passing game. Crystal were not happy with certain mentor in Tramore camp allegedly being abusive to players and officials during game.
I think this is a game worth seeing , home advantage to be decisive , possibly. . . .
