who s gonna win the fai junior cup

**balls** · 14/03/2004, 7:20 PM

Tipp are playin cork aul this weekend i cant see tipp beating them .we are no where near as strong as we were last year there could be an upset. yeah bad pitches have alot to answer for small crowds at junior games . we ll never have a good fan base for local league games like the gaa or rugby.

**balls** · 16/03/2004, 5:02 PM

tipp won 3-2 after extra time was meant to have been a great game versus cork aul in oscar traynor. why were none of the fairview big guns playin for limerick league .they got hammered. well done to wembley on gettin to fai final u17.

Balls,
The reason why none of the "Big Guns" were not playing for the Limerick Oscar T team is because of the Manager..He stepped down from managing the view this year after a bit off a tiff with the players as far as i know

Balls,
The draw for the FAI junior cup is on in Dublin tomorrow (tuesday, 23rd March). NOt sure about the draws for the Munster Senior or Junior cup competitions.

Munster Snr Cup
Carrick Utd. v. Pike Rovers
Cork City v. Douglas Hall

Munster Junior Cup
Clonmel Town v. Avenue Utd.
Tralee Dy. or Village v. Carrick Utd

Carrick are in the semi final of The Munster Snr Cup, Munster Junior Cup and
FAI Junior Cup is this a record , ever done before ?

Carrick v Clonmel would be some final in The Munster Junior Cup only 13 miles apart.
Janeboro missing a lot of players yesterday must be trouble in the camp, but this is a good Carrick side will cause problems for anyone. The FAI Jnr cup draw wil be interesting, its taken far to long to make. Its taking place at 10am on a Tuesday morning - rubbish, with three country teams involved it make very little sense

**irishkop** · 23/03/2004, 9:21 AM

Hi Irisheagle do you know the dates for the forthcoming cup games or are they set yet?

**irishkop** · 23/03/2004, 10:40 AM

Carrick United are playing Freebooters of Kilkenny in the Semi Final of the FAI Junior Cup and Fairview are playing Portmarnock in the other. Looks like one of the so called 'big teams' are not going to be in the final this year. Good luck to Carrick United, hope they go all the way.

**Gramo** · 23/03/2004, 3:08 PM

Fairview Rngs V Portmarnock (April 17th)
Freebooters V Carrick Utd (April 11th)

had fairview a full strength team out . avenue aren t even at the top of the clare league. clonmel town wont slip up against them. carrick are flying they should beat freebooters. hopefully a new name on the fai cup this year

**irisheagle** · 23/03/2004, 9:40 PM

No dates set as yet for the Munster Games, but will be soon I guess.

Tralee play Village next Sunday the winners host Carrick. Carrick beat Tralee 2-0 in The Munster Senior Cup a few months back. One of the Carrick strikers is just 17, he hit the winner for the Waterford Youths in Dublin last Saturday then played a blinder against Janesboro on Sunday.
Freebooters are resting all their players in local Kilkenny League games, a good idea ?, will they be match sharp.
Heard Carrick are happy with the draw but Booters did not want to draw them. Should be a cracking game

it was a great result for waterford to beat the dublin youths. the standard in waterford s youth football must be very high tramore still in fai youth cup and 2 teams in the munster youth semis. was the johnville clonmel celtic youth munster semi final played yet. waterford united have some great 18 year old s as well ian barnes ,rocket etc etc. they would have some 21 s team next year if they harvested all this talent.

I would love to know who informed Irish Eagle that the Freebooters players were being rested. We have a load of injuries. The majority of the players have not trained all winter by personal choice and have reached the semi final. It is not much justice to the teams that train all year in the hope of getting this far but that's Freebooters at the moment for you!
