I know it is off topic but to give the complete answer.
Munster Senior Cup
Quarter Final Draw
Limerick 37 v Rockmount or Douglas Hall
Waterford Utd v Cobh Ramblers
Clonmel Town or St Mary’s v Carrigaline Utd or Cobh Wanderers
Cork City v Ballynanty Rvs or Killarney Celtic
SEMI FINALS
Limerick 37 or Rockmount or Douglas Hall
v
Cork City or Ballynanty Rvs or Killarney Celtic

Clonmel Town or St Mary’s or Carrigaline Utd or Cobh Wanderers
v
Waterford Utd or Cobh Ramblers

So not only could Balla meat Cork City, but after that is the real glamour derby with Limerick 37

When Killester return they will be near unbeatable. They went to Miami last year at the same time and were sh1t hot when they came back, just think what a bonding excercise that is for a squad away on a trip like that.

I got on them at 3/1 and I'm sorry I didn't earlier. Still hate them but business is business. :)

F**k that i'll think i'll go up there and join them myself for that ! :D Do you think they have any room for a fat over rated fool like myself ? :D

Sorry Jumping Jac I'd be ahead of you in the Queue if they were taking on fat over rated fools.

Being serious it is a great incentive, but doesn't make up for a poor league overall.

but its no real surprise that its not a great league, the majority of the best amatuer players in dublin play in the leinster senior league, and then to rival that you have the afl,the ucl and the lfl, which is prob better all round as if there was only one league they dublin clubs would win the fai every year

Have to agree with you there inexile

Manor Rangers 1-0 up against Navan Cosmos at half time.

Manorhamilton win 1-0.

in saying thats its a poor league didnt st john bosco get to the fai cup final last year and they were relegated from that league dont really know of any other of the lower placed teams in any other league achieveing that certainly not in our league in south tipp.

thats the beauty of cup football bishbash, i saw the final last year and with all due respect bosco were unbelievably bad. they had a great run but got found out in the final, saying that their players have played in one more junior cup final that i ever will

Don't think this has been posted yet:

Umbro FAI Junior Cup 6th rd
New Ross Celtic 2-2 Grattan Utd
(Grattan won 3-2 on pens)

That's from the Wexford League site.

thats just it though they had a great run to the final thats what 7 or 8 rounds of football? Ill put it this way there is not a hope in hell of a south tipp side who finished last in our league even if they got home draws all the to the semi fianl of progressing that far. with regards to the final i think killester are capable of doin that to a lot of good sides out there.

St Peters lost 2-1 in Dublin Yesterday, supposed to have been v unlucky, missed a penalty

I agree, they were awarded two peno's, and missed one of them.

I do think the best team won even if we didn't click up front for most of the game.

we had a stonewall peno turned down and the Peters manager admitted as much.

the two penos were penos and this would show that the referees and linesmen were very fair as you would expect in Dublin.

We however played the better ball, and could have done more damage if the strikers clicked.

a bit of luck was on our side.

It was a shame what happened there last year soccerc, but we are knocking around a while now to know that it happens many teams.

Last 16 now for us, the opportunity now exists to get neutral officials.

all a team wants is a fair craic.

Corduff deserved to win on the day but SP are gutted because they didn´t do them selves justice on the day. Hard to believe they would have scored but for penalties considering how many they have netted this year. Bit of a make shift defence but thats life, it´s how you react when the chips are down and SP didn´t. A few can walk tall, but there is a couple who can´t after yesterday. Only thirteen players travelled out of about 35 registered.

Sighltly off thread, best of luck Corduff,will be hoping ye do well here on in.
