Im pretty sure after the second round its straight into the quarter finals with an open draw but am open to correction. There is four pools selected by geographical loaction with the last two teams going into the last 8. Apparantly its now called the EA Sports Cup

Castlebar away would be a good trip

Pity we're at home so. Sligoman.....wrong. Great draw, chance to get through to quarters, Harps would be strongest team to face.

we have a decent chance against harps i think. watched them against mervue last night and thought they were very poor. funston and big centre half looked decent but as for that they were pretty average.
