If you put one team together out of the other 3 you still wouldent beat Pike on the day.
The scores in the matches were bordering on the ridicoulus and no mangager who is trying to sign players in the lower leagues wants to be playing pike premier team with a couple of league of ireland players as guests.
Maybe next year they will strenghten it with a few premier teams because it look like 2 of the clubs that played werent too happy with the set up.
Or else they could call it give Pike a trophy tournament and invite Pike B and their over 40s team aswell. My point is nobody learned anything from it and to see some of the pike players faces in the final you could see it was pointless only a stroll in the park.
