So you could say theyre bit like Portsmouth in the FA Cup (minus the money worries)

I've heard that they won the AUL B league last year and their prize was a trip for team to Spain, apparently they thrashed the hotel and were docked 15 pts as punishment

Nonsense if any of them teams were drawn away to Clonmel they would struggle to come out of it .Dont get me wrong Limerick junior soccer is strong
but i dont see any team easing past the likes of clonmel at this stage of the competition.

Pike will be very strong sunday don't worry bout that.

St. Michaels are going to have to play very well to beat Pike after all this. This tough draw suits pike down to the ground. The what seemed like easier draws has caught them down the years. Pike to win 1-0. Killmallock will run Fairview very close I think. Regional will beat shangan if they don't make any silly mistakes and Clonmel to beat willow.

iv seen clonmel play and there a decent side but iv also seen willow play many times , and i have to say willow r too strong for clonmel , willow to win the junior cup for me , they r very fit , they can mix it and they get goals from all over the park

I'd say I owe you a packet of fags or two , silk cut purple right?

**celticlads** · 12/03/2010, 1:08 PM

its fairview,pike,clonmel and shangen for me. dont think it matters who pike are missing i still think they will be far too strong. clonmel to beat fairview in semi and pike to beat shangan, some final then.

**leather** · 12/03/2010, 1:16 PM

View, Pike, Shangen & willow for the semi-finals

i think ye have every chance of beatin anybody on the day best of luck sunday anyway

**goldengirls** · 12/03/2010, 2:18 PM

it seems to me that people are basing their predictions about town after only seeing them against star. suits us, we were terrible that day. we will be laughing on sunday. i expect us to be tournament favourites on sunday night

**ronburgundy** · 12/03/2010, 2:27 PM

best of luck to both tipp sides this weekend, heres my honest opinion ( its probably way off ). i expect pike to just have a bit too much for saints, it will be very tight though and could go all the way to penalties,certainly cant see more than one goal seperating the sides. i feel saints have an excellent and experienced backline but will probably rely on set pieces too much to score. clonmel n the other hand have a little more about them going forward, they are a battle hardened cup side now having been to the semis a couple of times in the last few years. i dont know much about willow but hear they are on a par with st peters who clonmel really should have beaten last year. il go with 2-0 for town. really fancy them to win it out

It wasn't that your were terrible that day is was because you weren't allowed to get out of first gear by a spirited Star team performance and a more clinical team would have taken advantage of that. So some people might think it will happen again this weekend and Willow will be more clinical. As they say people are entitled to opinions best of luck to all teams left.....
