i am well aware of that Gufc but try telling that to the naked eye of the casual watcher who tuned in to see Trap. Its the same every year, could they not be more professional about it. Just makes it all seem so bloody amateur. The GAA are an amateur organisation but you dont see this lark at their draws

Don't worry. If they're anything like St. Mochta's, they'll be getting a right hammering.

Stop bitching ffs. Its all part of the draw, big draw for junior teams. Trap and Tardelli seemed to enjoy it

No offence taken, I hope you found what you were looking for. And good luck with promoting the game.

The ties seem to be balanced enough but with one all-Premier Division tie I feel there will be 11 Premier Div. sides in the next round.

Which county are Carrick Utd. from? I thought they were Wexford, but in the last week I also heard Waterford.

Don;t TG4 normally show a game per round ? Battle of the SRFC's I'd guess would be the choice if there is a live match.

Carrick on Suir, Co. Tipp as far as I know.

Difficult draw for the Youths, Killester one of the strongest non-league sides and won't be a big crowd draw.

I'd assume that would be the match but if it was TG4 then maybe they would go for Galway vs. Waterford. It'd probably be a more interesting match with the potential for an upset.

Get through it though and you could get the big crowd draw in the next round. :)

Christ its cringeworthy

I thought it was great. Cup draws are usually soulless and very awkward stilted affairs. Thought it was great to have a bit of cheering and atmosphere.

Go watch an oboe recital Mr Stuffy
