To be fair some of the players that were playing today would have been playing their 4th game of the week but they are still very game and that is all you can ask of young lads.

To be fair I assume he was looking for date of the final as we know Derry will have to be there as they are only side who take this competition seriously.

does any know when the draw for the next round will be on?

'The draw for the Quarter Finals of the EA SPORTS Cup will take place tomorrow, May 6th'

From here.

I don't see why they're dragging out the competition into September with a large lag between the quarters and semis. I think the competition would run better with a final in June or July. As low key as it already is, it fades away with the latter two rounds running so disconnected from the rest of the tournament.

Clubs outside the LoI and representative sides are involved. There's a LoI break in june aswell. I believe four rounds in quick succession is ample for the early rounds and the Semis and Final can take place later in the summer season.
