Leinster Senior Cup 2018/19
Oh no, here he comes again ...
The LFA have made slight improvements in their publicity for their oldest and most senior competition: the Preliminary and First Round draws were indeed posted in a timely manner on their website.
But there the matter rests.
The same is true, sadly, of Extratime, whose attention to detail has declined considerably (don't even think of trying to piece together the under age competitions for last season on that site: they fell off the table at some point).
I came across a Second Round draw elsewhere, and a reference to a third round match in a club website.
Here's the state of play so far. Any additions and/or corrections welcome.
