Rockmount look best placed to cause an upset in this round, but they've had a long, hard season..... Marys were promoted in a playoff on Wed night, which went to extra time.... 'Hall host the champions which will be a really tough task, again at the end of a hard season.... Everton playing Carrick on Sunday morning would also seem to be well placed to advance.
The non-league sides (country wide) are all at the end of their seasons and it seems a difficult task to rise up to the challenges in the FAI Cup. Back in the days when the Senior Cup was in the middle of the (non-league) season, there seemed to be more media impetus, thus more interest, thus more crowds, thus more rewards (€...) for the non-league teams. :confused:
Dont think Carrick are too pushed about this cup. They have reached their Holy Grail , the FAI Junior Cup, this season and are still celebrating that success as only they can!
Surely Carrick being the best junior team in the country could be good enough against Everton.Killester beat Bangor in the last round and are as good as any Intermediate team and Carrick are as good if not better than Killester.Are Carrick taking this serious and have they any injury problems?
Exactly!!! As I said, the FAI Senior Cup seems to have lost some appeal. Is this the impact of Summer football? Junior and Intermediate Cup competitions run through the winter, and then the Junior and Intermediate sides need to row into the Summer schedule.Quote:

Nope - I disagree - Everton at home will be very difficult to overturn. I strongly fancy Everton to advanceQuote:

Some FAI Cup Predictions
St Pats 4 Longford 0
Galway 1 Waterford 1
Shels 1 Dundalk 0
Shamrock 2 Sligo 3
Withour Conor Sinnott, who is our main playmaker and Patsy Malone (either the ball or the man sometimes gets by Patsy, never both). I hear some of ours are on holidays too, which is strange. Should be interestingQuote:
