does anyone know when cup starts? pike to win again but janesboro could go close with clarke up front.
tramore from waterford for me this year. saint kevins or sheriff yc from dublin my other tips.
a team from dublin called landan i think? meant to be strong
Any team that beats Shelbourne deserves respect. Every team they play now will know what to expect of them.Quote:

12 th man.
12th man I think he was referring that sherriff beat shels (top of loi div 1 )last weekend so therefore must have a great chance to win junior fai ...
Pike rovers trophy again this year me thinks
Second,the post I edited belonging to him had nothing to do with Sheriff beating Shels,thanks anyhow.Quote:

pike or st. kevins to win it out,,two teams who will be going all out to win this trophy
Lads fai is a bit away,it's a bit early to be naming contenders.what happens if boro draw pike,one of them gone already like what happened the view last year.pike still have a stronger panel than boro,IMO
When's the draw?
The first round draw will be made next Saturday and first round games are scheduled for week-end of 17/18 September.Quote:

Boro wont win the FAI thats for sure, unless they get a proper manager and thats still
pushing it
the boro will never compete with pike imo.if its to be a limerick team to win fai than its definetly pike.Quote:

I base it on teams from clare are very poor when was the last time a clare team won the fai.Quote:

As for the fai thing.. Look at the population of clare .. We simply don't have the pick to choose from.. In fairness they have done well enough last couple of years in Oscar traynor and are improving facilities every year ..

by the way.. i agree... no team from clare will win an fai this yr.. it'l be the same old suspects again come april/may
pike rovers,sheriff,st michaels,st kevins,carrick utd. I think its hard to look past any of them 5 teams.they have the experience of grinding out wins in the latter stages of big competitions and having an experienced team who have been there before is a huge advantage
what time is the draw tomarrow lads for limerick section
