Week ending the 7th of Sept aint it, but dont Galway hav European games that week???
With regard to the Cork Ballina game I don't think Ballina expecting a walk in the park is fair. If it was a last minute goal that won it or an early goal and backs against the wall stuff for the rest of the game maybe but once Cork went ahead Ballina never got level, surely they would have realised after going two behind that this wasn't an easy game. In saying that the Cork players and especailly their manager must be dancing a jigg after seeing the draw. No disrespect to Wexford but they avoided St Francis, Galway, Mayo and Peamount and they are at home. Also wexfordrules was on here recently saying how wexford are out of season and up to this year had never won a match in senior cup. In Wexford Rules own words from earlier in this post "in most peoples eyes, we would be considered the handy draw" Cork or Wexford are going to be in the semi final, the likes of Wilton and Raheny will be cursing the luck of the draw, but thats football best of luck to both of them, it could be 3 of the semi finalists are league teams.
With regards Lifford I am friendly with one of their players and she told me they were only missing their keeper. The other "Lifford" players were never going to be their. Marie Curtin hasn't played for them in over a year. Edel Malone was told by her US university to report for preseason this week. I don't think she should risk her scholarship for that game. Another player who played for Irish under age is out injured for months and another with international under age experiance has been in USA all summer, so Lifford were depleated but they knew they would be. So 37Beour i disagree they were let down but I do agree with you about Ruth Fahy, I've seen her play 3 times and think she is class, has she ever got a look in to Irish senior team, surely with a little experince at that level she would give Noel King another good option for his team. And after the Euro's she should have plenty of experience.
I still say the same regarding Wexford, we are out of season, still without some of our better players due to other codes but we were delighted with the team spirit in our game v Monaghan
The Cork v Wexford draw is probably the best draw for both teams and one of them will be in the semi final and cup football is a great leveller, so who knows what might happen. We are looking forward to our trip to Cork on Sept 7th and will give it the best shot we can
At present, if they avoid each other it looks like a St Francis v Galway League Final, but who knows
CorkRebel i am just merely stating what the Lifford manager said himself. Lifford played a game in Limerick League a couple of days before and after that game he was seen having an argument with two players in the carpark regarding the senior cup game, who in the end didn't play against Dundalk. They were two def starters for the side. Damien is a proud man and for him to even talk about his own players like that is a clear sign he isn't happy and is very much so disillusioned. I am not sayin the players should of changed their priorities i am just sayin thats the story coming out of the Lifford camp and the story being told in Limerick.
I agree with you about Ruth Fahy and International duty, def should be given a trial at least. In my eyes she is top class and would maybe be that bit better than her Salthill Teammate Meabh De Burca who is good as we all know. It would be worth given her a chance at least to see her worth. The same could be said about a few players hanging out in the colleges league tho, which goes all back to the scouting scenario but thats a diff thread and don't want to really get into it here:D
I'm not trying to argue about Lifford I was just saying from what I heard that saying players let the club down was a bit over the top but maybe we are talking about different players. All i'm saying as according to who i was speaking to the only player who left them down was the keeper I don't know her name so I cant actually say what it is but I'll try find out. You should start that other thread I think a few pople would have an opinion for it.
As for Cork Wexford game I will obviously be supporting Cork but hoping for a good game.
Cork Rebel you shouldn't make statements about another club when you dont know what you are talking about.
You said that the only player missing was the keeper.
The Lifford keeper was not missing. She played in the game. Lifford were short their left and right full backs, their sweeper, their left winger and at least one midfielder. This is not taking into account the American players.
I guested with Lifford in a tournament abroad some years ago. I had a brilliant time and I have kept in touch with many of the Lifford girls. There were only 4 girls over age 20 in the game v Dundalk. They brought a bunch of kids who did really well and 4 of them are on the u.16 team. The Lifford girls have no complaints about the game and said they really enjoyed it. They are just looking forward to their next game so I dont think we should comment any further.
First of all isn't the whole point of a forum to share info which is exactly what I did, I said I was talking to one of their players who told me they were missing players but they knew they would be! I never said this is exactly what happened I posted the info I was given, again what I thought was the point of a forum? Maybe I'm wrong? Anyway I was trying to defend Lifford players because someone said they left the club down which from the info (NOT GOSPAL TRUTH, JUST WHAT SOMEONE PLAYING WITH LIFFORD SAID TO ME) I got was wrong, and from what I heard the players didn't leave Lifford down. I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to say that? While I did say that I was told the only player they were missing was the keeper I think it's clear from the rest of my post that it was said in the context of "On the day besides the four they knew they would be missing only the keeper was missing" They are dead right to be looking forward to their next game and all the best to them, however I didn't think it was fair to say "I think a few of their stars let them down massively by not turning up" because that would incinuate particularly players who I think could be classed in the Star category. BTW the person who said that was well within their right to say what they thought, as that is what a forum is for. Libero4 could you enlighten me as to what stars left Lifford down?
Obviously one of you got wrong info about Lifford. Anyway does anyone know what happening with Galways game? DO they have to play earlier or are they allowed play it when they come back from Europe?
Munster Senior Cup – 7 Teams
First Round to be played 13/14 September 2008
Bye Aisling Annacotty
Lifford V Wilton
Ballincollig V Limerick37
Cork League V Benfica
2nd Round - dates to be confirmed
Cork/Benfica V Aisling Annacotty
Ballincollig/Limerick37 V Lifford/Wilton
Prediction:
Aisling Annacotty to get through to round two!!!:p:p:D
What's this Munster Senior Cup about? I thought that had been scrapped, last year it was played prior to the senior cup starting. A friend of mine told me that the cork league play their cup finals that weekend, so that'll surely affect the cork v benfica game?
So what's the story with this cup? who's organising this? is wfai? fai? munster wfa??
The Munster WFAI, who are in charge of Munster's Gaynor Cup teams ran the Munster Senior Cup last year, I presume it's them again, but Wilton still haven't played last years plate Final!!! I dunno was the Cup final played?
If the Cork Cup finals are on and Munster Cup is on then its not being organised very well from the start. It will probably effect Wilton and Could effect Ballincollig which means all games would be off.
Also I thought there was a Limerick Desmond League team and I tipp League team are they gone or what?
Lifford won munster senior cup in 2007.They beat Limerick37 in the final.Which made it an all Limerick League affair as Lifford play in the Limerick League.
This year the Desmond and Tipperary League team have disbanded and have not entered the WFAI Senior Cup.
Think Lifford and Wilton will play a double header with the Munster U14 final and Munster Senior Cup match together......looks like an obvious choice.
Hi All,
Does anyone know the KO time for the St. Francis game on sunday? And is it in their pitch in Baldonnel?
Thanks!

Does anyone know when the draw is for the semi's?
Any predictions?

No easy games at this stage! :D
SEMI FINAL DRAW - TO BE PLAYED WEEKEND OF 02ND OF NOVEMBER
ST FRANCIS FC versus CORK LEAGUE
GALWAY LEAGUE/WATERFORD BENFICA versus PEAMOUNT UNITED
any predictions??????
Home wins all the way.
peamount are perfectly happy remaining as the underdogs for this competition:D
St Francis - Peamount final for me.
Think Galway will definitely be in the final. Have come a long way in the last yr and following their performances in Manchester Cup and in Europe think they will defo be there again and think they will win it once again.
Think St Francis and Cork could be close and could go either way. Cork have some very good players and will defo put up a fight. But i think id also go for home wins all round.
Did the Benfica/Galway game go ahead? Any result?
Hi Curler,
Galway are playing Peamount this sunday in Terryland Park (3pm KO), so they must've won against Benfica (though, i don't know the result).
Cheers!
think it was a bit one sided by all account 5/6 - 0 i think
St Francis beat Cork league 2-1 today.
And Peamount beat Galway by same score! Local derby final!
Senior cup final next weekend not a thing on the fai website.. absolute joke....
paying all these development officers to 'develop' the game and they wont even advertise the biggest final for women!!
FAI must have read your post:rolleyes:.Piece on the website today about the final.Quote:

I hope they will do more than just putting one piece on their website. I don't expect they will but the girls on both teams deserve a little more recognition for getting to final of the countries main competition
Any predictions for the final?:D
Any news on the teams? Louise Quinn was injured last week supposedly anyway wasn't she...recovered for final? I think you would play the final even if your leg was hanging off anyway!!:p
cork beat wilton 2-1 tonight in munster senior cup
About time it was played....only about 3 months late!:eek:
The final def won't be before Christmas now which is a pity. Would of been nice to wrap up the season properly in 2008 instead of carrying games into the new year!
What were the teams for this game Ramladies? Or will I have to buy the Evening Echo?:p ;)
Cork:Eilish Walsh, Aoife Kelleher, Laura Thompson, Cathrese Fahey, Kathleen O'Brien, Stacey Paul, Yvonne Harrington, Ciara Murphy, Katie Mc Carthy, Barbara O'Connell, Valerie Leahy. Subs: Eimear Knightly for Murphy(60).
Wilton:Ciara Meehan, Erika O'Sullivan, Susan Kelleher, Dee Callanan, Jessica Geasley, Aisling Mc Gregor, Susan Edmounds, Amanda Parkes, Denise Buckley, Essmay Mannix, Claudine Myles. Subs: Natalie O'Brien for Geasley(62).
Ya its a pity couldnt have been finished up before christmas, really drags out the season. Cork were suppose to have played some really impressive football last night, was suppose to be an entertaining game. they played about 40 mins with ten players as Stacey Paul went off injured.
So what predictions for the final. say it'll be a close one but im gonna go with Cork to take it, they've been playing impressive football over the course of this competition.
I agree its going to be a tight game. I honestly think its going to go to who is back training and gets a few games under their belts before it!!!
Annacotty take 3 weeks off a year at Christmas for rest and then its back again for pre-season. It will be a disadvantage to Cork being a league side trying to get together for training but thats the only negative for them as far as I can see!
Wilton had a good side out against them in fairness missing a few regulars or am I mistaken? Know majority of Cork side you named, couple of unknowns though!
Its going to be an absolute cracker of a game, it always is when Annacotty meet Cork teams.:D
Ya Wilton were missin a few of there stronger players. Cork also were missin a good few strong players for this game. Defo the fact that anacotty are a club side who are goin back to pre-season will stand to them esp as alot of the cork club teams aint goin back for awhile so as you said say it'll be a problem getting them together and getting the few friendlies.
Oh defo always guaranteed a good game when anacotty meet a cork team. cant wait for it say it'll be a cracker.
I probably shouldn't be coz it happens more often than i think it should but I'm a little annoyed with the organisers of a womens soccer tournament. Did anyone know this match was taking place? I would definitely have gone to it, but did not have a clue it was on. I get the Echo regularly and hang around with plenty of other soccer players and heard nothing about it. There was nothing on this site about it, nothing on Munsterspride (although that is not getting updated regularly) and nothing on cork league site. Was there many at it? Or did people just not know about it? I was told last week it might be played saturday and then that it was off.
When was the game supposed to be originally played? Have Annacotty been waiting 3 months since their semi final? thats crazy. Been loooking back and National Cup Quarter final was 7th Sept and Semi final was 2nd November, so this game could have been played ages ago, was there no deadline or what?
Did Cork only have 12 players? they had to play with 10 when stacey paul went off, I thinkits strange the cork league has no more than 12 players? I'm assuming the sub was already made when she went off?
Sorry about all the questions but Really would have loved to have seen the game.:(
