NB I'm a little puzzled by Crettyard's appearance in the 2nd Round. Carlow & District FL list a second match Crettyard 8-1 Collinstown in November, but no explanation is given: a replay ordered following a protest, or a two-leg arrangement? (No other match is two legs.) Crettyard's own Twitter and FB pages don't even mention the second game!
Bray 1-3 Pat's. Twas 3-0 after 10 minutes.
I presume this means Bray have at least confirmed all their signings? All their out-of-contract players were listed as trialists in the friendly against us.
Drogheda beat Bangor 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw yesterday.
Any idea when our fourth round glamour tie is to be played?
Funny, I thought we were away to Athlone for some reason.
So safe to say you're asking the wrong person.
I wouldn’t have known only it was in the post above yours.
Was told it may be midweek after the opening game but nothing confirmedQuote:

Town beat UCD 2-1 tonight, almost three months after some of the other fourth round games.
Extratime has a third round tie outstanding.
An idiotic tournament
Dundalk still to play bohs with no date yet fixed. Think cabo played Wexford tonightQuote:

Crumlin v Cherry Orchard from the previous round - scheduled for January - not yet played per extratime though. There's two ties missing from the fourth round schedule - Crumlin/Cherry Orchard would be one team. Dundalk and Bohs also missing. Not sure who the fourth team are.
Official Attendance at Ferrycarrig Park on a miserable night for players and spectators alike - 35Quote:

Some great ties left in the 4th round.
reminds me of the old joke about the PA calling out the names of the fans before kick offQuote:

Might make the managers play full teams in the earlier rounds and draw a few more in...plus winning your provincial championship puts you 1 match away from another final....
Something has to change
Effectively scrap the Leinster Senior Cup and any other provincial cups and replace it with an EA Sports Cup that has a regionalised draw up to the semi-finals?Quote:

No, I obviously didn't explain that well enough..
Not scrap them, have the winners of each cup go straight into the semi final of the EA cup.
Its the semi final anyway before anyone go's to watch the EA cup and I know for me if Rovers winning the Leinster Senior cup meant entry into the semi final of the EA cup id be more interested in the Leinster senior cup and more likely to care and show up for those matches (saddo that I am id be there anyway :) )
Plus the managers might be more inclined to play at least a semi first string team which would encourage more people to show up.
Bit like giving the last Europa league spot to the FAI cup winners makes it more important, getting into the semi final of the EA cup would make the Leinster Senior Cup(and the others) more important.
Something has to change.
That makes the League cup much more difficult for Leinster clubs.
Its harder for a Leinster team (other than Killkenny) to win the hurling all Ireland :)
And we could always move Bray into Munster and Dundalk into Ulster...
It wouldnt be the first time people have tried that one. Síle de Valera when Minister of Arts Heritage and Gaeltacht turned down an invite to launch an exhibition in Dundalk citing that as Dundalk was in Northern Ireland she couldnt accept the invite. It was probably a civil servant who was responsible but regardless her grandfather would have loved that one....well if its good enough for the GAA why not balance the provincial cups by placing teams in another province. League Cup groups in the past have seemed a bit odd in the early round groups. For as long as there isnt a reserve league of sorts the Leinster Senior Cup does serve a purpose if not knocked out early and it can give youth players the experience of playing some hard as nails junior/former LoI players. Just on the age and history of the competition I wouldnt like to see it totally scrapped but maybe only allowing LoI (premier?) u19-23's sides compete and have the 4 provincial winners in the age category's National cup semis.Quote:

There is no Ulster or Connacht Senior Cup like Leinster/Munster.Quote:

Bluebell United beat Drogs 2-0 last night.
Dundalk play Bohs on Tuesday evening in Oriel.
The excitement for that match is crushing me!!
Be interesting enough to see how the young lads fare against a non league team that winning the trophy would mean something so might have a bit of bite to their game be it Bohs or Dundalk.
Awful match that Dundalk managed to won 3-1 following a spurt of life from them late in the 2nd half.Quote:

Dundalk to play Shamrock Rovers in the next round sometime in Sept 2028:p
Good to see Gannon back and a strong performance from Adorjan. Jarvis was also prominent. Karolis Chvedukas made his first start on his return from injury. He has a distance to go to reach full match fitness but I am suspect that he could yet play a significant part in Europe and later part of the season.Quote:

Well it could lead to their cup final!!
Be interesting to see if Bradley plays the u12s for this one or goes closer to full strength. Possibly a mix of the the first team and the u8s.Quote:
