The 1st and 2nd round draws will include five Newstalk A Championship clubs, 16 intermediate sides and four junior clubs. The 1st round draw will consist of five games with the remaining 15 teams receiving a bye to the 2nd round of the competition. Included in the draw are last year's FAI Umbro Intermediate Cup finalists Bluebell United and Crumlin United (pictured right) alongside this year's FAI Umbro Junior Cup semi-finalists. They will all be joined by the Newstalk A Championship clubs, Castlebar Celtic, Cobh Ramblers, FC Carlow, Tralee Dynamos and Tullamore Town.
The draws for the FAI Ford Senior Cup First and Second Rounds will be conducted by FAI President, David Blood and former Republic of Ireland and Shamrock Rovers striker, Mick Leech.

Looks a fairly strong intermediate line-up with all the regular names, the A Championship teams will need home draws to avoid some serious upsets. Bonagee, Glenville and Willow Park seem the only unknowns.

Tullamore got the draw from hell, but the four other A teams can be confident of making the third round, with Carlow's home advantage giving them the edge in the last tie.
Anyone know the exact dates and venues for the first round, as I might actually attend a few of these games if possible!!!

Any FAI Cup results from today?
think bluebell beat saint michaels 2-1 not 100% sure though
Fanad United 1 - 2 Dublin Bus
Bonagee United 1 - 1 Crumlin United
Tralee Dynamos 2-2 Tolka Rovers
Dynamos lead 2-1 at half-time through a Chris Kerins penalty, but the equaliser sees the momentum swing to the Leinster League side, with the replay in Dublin.
Bonagee 1 - 1 Crumlin.
Crumlin had most of the early play. Bonagee missed penalty after 30 minutes after a few good saves from Crumlin keeper Coleman.
Bonagee got a great goal 5mins later, McLaughlin header.
Scrappy second half, again Crumlin having the better. Bonagee man sent off on 75mins and Crumlin scored resulting free kick.
Bonagee keeper McGinty outstanding.
FC Carlow 1
Castlebar Celtic 0
Tullamore 2-1 fairview rangers
2-0 up at half time, fairview pulled one back in the second half.
1. Tullamore Town 2-1 Fairview Rangers
2. Malahide United 2-0 Douglas Hall
3. Fanad United 1-2 Dublin Bus
4. Bluebell United 2-1 St. Michael's

7. Regional United 0-2 Belgrove

10. FC Carlow 1-0 Castlebar Celtic
Replays:
Crumlin v Bonagee - 23rd May 2pm Pearse park.
Tolka Rovers - Tralee - 23rd May 2.30pm Fran Cooke Park
Great result for Glenville, I believe they're the lowest ranked of all the teams left in it, hopefully they'll get a big draw in the next round.
Even lower than Salthill!? :eek:Quote:

Reckon they'd like any Dublin team tbh. Hopefully it'd be played in Richmond too (although anyone of Crumlin, Bluebell or Dublin Bus could host games there too)
