janesboro v clonmel......boro
waterford bohs v regional.....bohs
lisselton v glengad/city utd....lisselton
kinsale v erris....kinsale
ballymun v crumlin....ballymun
sheriff yc v coolock/st vincents hospital.....Sheriff

fairview-evergreen beat a bad galway side at home 2-1 in the last 64,fairview to advance
carrick-will find it tough in athlone,carrick will scrape through
janesboro-peno's to decide this one in janesboro's favour
waterford bohs-another one to go all the way,with bohs advancing
lisselton-will beat city by the odd goal
kinsale-home advantage will see kinsale through
ballymun-should be 2 strong for crumlin
sheriff yc-i think sheriff could go all the way,although they will have to stop micka keogh of coolock to advance.

i think we may end up with a fairview v sheriff yc final if they avoid each other,would really of fancied carrick but for the injuries to 2 of there best players.

haven't seen ye play but i know ye won the kerry league last season and have some of the best players in kerry. have some good sources in kerry that reckon ye are a good side and as you said ye have won a lot in the last year. also, i think that there is a few average enough teams left in the competition. no offence

I'm just goining on what i saw. I wouldn't rate the side at all. Good workers but not much football.

Fair play. have to respect the fact that you were there. Kevins were highly rated this year. And they occupied the same odds bracket as Fairview with the bookies.

I can't see fairview winning it this year. They haven't managed to get out of limerick in the FAI since the last time they won it. They've put a good team together this year with a lot of new players, they'll take beating but I think it'll be a major achievement to win it.

Heno10,
I take it you were there too? Were Evergreen a crowd of hoofers? Or did they just get in around the Kevin's lads and not allow them to pass the ball? I've never known an Evergreen team to be a crowd of hoofers. And i've seen them a few times in the FAI Cup through the years.

i don't see whats wrong with playing 16 year olds, if you are good enough you are old enough. we have two 16 year olds and a 17 year old in our first team squad and i know we didn't do great in fai junior cup (because of referees, thats for another day) but we are still one of the favourites for the connaught cup and it is also great experience for the young lads.

I hear The injuries are a problem alright, a bit Irish though because this information was "volunteered" to your opposition in the next round. Also paperwork, FAI, & having to jump through hoops was also mentioned implying ye'd be better off not winning! :confused:

the last time lisselton got this far they had a 16 year and 17 year old playing. there some of our squad this year not much older than that. doesnt make a difference whether your in goals or not. every position is critical at this stage.

The then Granville manager didnt have much choice playing the young lad, seeing as though he's regular keeper was away (not sure they have a sub keeper either) so it was the 16yr olds chance.

In my opinion if a your playing a young goalie in goals with very little experience ur defence would do there best to protect him and on the day there were sliced open and well beaten, you cant blame the goalie, the team itself did very well to get that far and ran into better oposition.

Its true lisselton have got a much easier draw in the competition than some of the big names left but there young team has had experience at eircom league and fai (youth finals) in the past!!

Just have to take RealRover's word for it cos he was at the Kevin's game.
