Womens senior cup 2009

An eliglble player may play in 2 National Cups from Senior/Intermediate/Junior. However players registered with the Premier League of the DWSL MUST play SENIOR CUP ONLY(always quoted but never in rule-book previously. Only made official this season). The participants of the last 5 Inter Cup Finals MUST play SENIOR CUP ONLY(new rule).

Lifford entered teams in 2 cups a few years ago and were hounded to ensure that they played 2 totally separate teams..even though the rules permitted players to play in 2 competitions at the time.....an still do.....unless you are playing in the DWSL Premier.

From what I can see, the WFAI seem to interpret the rules any way they want depending on the club involved and the humour they are in. Rules also seem to change every year without clubs being notified aparently.

Just because you win the FAI Umbro Womens Senior Challenge Cup does not entitle you to represent Ireland in the Womens Champions League/UEFA Cup.....check the rules. (This rule has changed every year for the past 3 years.....from the winners represent Ireland to the winners are given the opportunity to represent Ireland to the WFAI may select a representative)

the rules are all over the place.

Is that really true, what happens if a player moves clubs? Could be few clubs in bother in Mayo, know alot of Ballina girls moved to Killala and they played Senior Cup having won Inter in 2007!!

"From what I can see, the WFAI seem to interpret the rules any way they want depending on the club involved and the humour they are in. Rules also seem to change every year without clubs being notified aparently.

To the best of my knowledge, the WFAI may dictate that the club has a particularly strong panel and only allow them to play Senior Cup...no matter where the team is based. I believe the WFAI have final say on entries in the national competitions.

i.e. St Fancis is basically UCD and if they had entered the Junior Cup last year the WFAI would probably have only allowed them to play Senior Cup because of their squad even though they had no previous history in the Junior or Intermediate Cups.

Where can I get the contact details for the clubs in the senior cup besides Peamount cant find any details

you wont find anything online...

best thing is to contact the fai directly and see if they can email you a copy of the fixture list that has all the club secretary contact details on it

sorry i dont have a copy of it myself. failing that Mal in the DWSL office in celbridge would probs be able to help you

while i agree the ladies was prob done then the cant publish it till after the 1/4 were played ;)

The Draw has been made its on munsterspride.com http://www.munsterspride.com/newsdes...ewsdesk_id=401

Cork beaten one nil by St Catherine's today

Final is St Francis V St Catherines.

St Francis bet Peamount last week.

I don't understand why that game was changed and the Cork v Cats game wasn't.

think they requested a change due to number of their players from both teams were travelling to Serbia for the Student games that weekend.

Surely cork would have requested a change too as they had a player missing also.

common sense would've said to get the game changed. Maybe the players weren't key players for the cork team. although if involved with the student games you'd think they must me good players!
