I've vague memories of Cork beating Dundalk on away goals in a previous version league cup final, possibly around 92/93.Quote:

Before my time, but we beat Dundalk 2-1 in 1994/95. Galway beat Dundalk 2-0 in 85/86. As it happens Galway beat us 4-2 in 96/97. We haven't won the LC since 1998/99. Beat Rovers 2-1. 1-1 draw in Tolka and 1-0 in Cork.Quote:

You've lost on penalties up here too. Behan, of all people, missed when we beat ye in the Cup in 2008.
Thanks for the link. I do not remember that game at all.Quote:

speaking of penalty shootouts El Pietro when we beat ye on penos in 05 in Turners Cross in the League cup was there a programme produced for this game as I couldnt make the game and have difficulty in sourcing a copy.Quote:

Rovers v Cork will be a tasty affair, glad we avoided that side of the draw, although Galway will have no fears playing Dundalk, think they have beaten us in our last two visits there, both in the league, and a EA Sports cup semi in 2015 on pens.
Both matches set for August BH Monday.
A lot could have changed for the clubs by the time these games come along.Quote:

The FAI Cup is the following weekend so it probably won't be the priority for most.
A semi final is a semi final, Rovers will be up for it.
Hope we still have Trevor Clarke by then
I agree! It is good to keep the trophies ticking over even the EA Cup and LSC as it helps foster that know how to win or get it over the line thinking.
Seems a bit nuts not to get these games outof the way in May/early June before Europe kicks in for 3 of the teams
That would be ideal alright wouldn't it. I know it would be guesswork because all 3 teams could be out of Europe by then, hopefully not of course.Quote:

There are far too many jokes in there. Most of them would get me banned.Quote:
