Ya I agree with you,would make a lot of sense to have 16 teams,and the mj winners,teams could win the mj and not win their league and would not qualify.just like St michaels,I know you could have the scenario of mj winners also winning their league but surely their is a way round it,maybe the runners up in the top leagues,ie limerick,tsdl,waterford,cork aul,just wait now for the Clare and Desmond league boys attack,
agree in principle with you, Boywonder, but it is a 'champions league' cup, therefore opening other doors, i.e. runners-up etc could see it turn into another Munster Junior Cup. I agree wholeheartedly the Munster Junior Cup winners should be included, after all they are champions of Munster. I think there is a general concensus out there for their inclusion. I don't think the rules are yet in stone so maybe MFA will consider it. St.Michaels would be a huge addition. Perhaps Saints should make their own case. I spoke to a few of them during the week and they seem resigned to the fact they will not be included. What would be wrong with the first round comprising of five games and three byes.
Na michaels didn't win their respective league so don't deserve to be in it whether they won the munster junior cup or not
I agree great team but if cup is for league winners then that's that.. Even if they could possibly win it..Originally Posted by limkdesmond
Ya spot on..deadly team and Great facilities but it's for the winners of their leagues and michaels didn't win their league so don't deserve to be in it..pity tho
I think the cup is being set up to cater for those junior clubs that previously qualified for the Munster Senior Cup.
I think the MFA don't want teams playing in the Munster Senior and Junior Cups in the same year.
Up to now, did winning the MJCup qualify you for the Munster Senior Cup in the following year???
If so then they would have a good case for entry in my book.
Yea probably correct - its for league winners. From what I hear that is St.Michaels view as well and they are not particularly interested in getting in the ''back door.'' Clonmel Town will be worthy representatives for TSDL.
i would think st michaels would be very interested in entering it alot of the posters above seem to think it wont be the same without michaels in it which is probably true but clonmel town are league champions in tsdl. fairview rangers would not be in the competition either and they are a massive club but pike are league winners in limerick.
no case for entry.there can be only one winner of the league and that was clonmel.if the cup is for league winners only than that should be that and thats not disrespecting michaels but they are not league winners.
If Michaels are not in it, it will make it slightly easier for those already in.
I'm sure that they would be better than some already qualified.
I'm looking forward to this competition in the new season.
No messing about playing weak teams in the early rounds - "it's straight in, no kissin" with this new cup

Agree with you on the draw and that but not on making it a 16 team competition. 12 League Winners and that's that. They cannot go adding in 4 runners-up teams and the MJ Cup winners. That is totally unfair on the runners-ups from all the other leagues. The MJ Cup Champions St. Mick's didn't win their league so hard luck they shouldn't be in it
Correct. Let it be 12 teams. For the record, St.Michaels are not making any case to get into it and are not interested in inclusion.
