Correct they have not being beaten 9 wins from 9 games in the league and still both provincial and national cups.
Quilty their striker who signed from the Glass is a serious operator: quick, strong and is a very good finisher. but is tempermental. They have a very good squad assembled this year having recruited from New Ross to Dungarvan and all inbetween. Very good passing side. Stephen Grant (ex Waterford United) is their playmaker.

Why no odds for clonmel celtic match? will paddy power have odds up, cant see any yet. If anyone see's em let us know, they can be tough to find on that page.
Michaels can still be got at 7/1 on boyles to win outright and clonmel celtic 18/1 on powers.

Id be wary of the spin to Castlebar and also backing near 1/2 away from home especially in this competition. Are Sheriff going up over night to Mayo, I know Tramore are staying in Athlone.

@CUFC

Castlebar very much over priced for a decent home team.
Longshanks how do you reckon Claremorris v Ballymote will go??

the game is being played on the new Astro Turf pitch in Sligo, so Claremorris have to travel. Ballymote are a decent side for Sligo/Leitrim standards, young energetic and pacey with one or two experienced talkers to gel it together, on their day they are a handful. They've dumped both City and Carbury(Sligo top 2 teams last few seasons) out already. I think claremorris pushed Castlebar all the way to the last day of the season in the mayo league, but as with all Mayo teams keepng the motivation and training up from September through to march without regular games can be a problem, I think Claremorris have a few players in the Oscar Traynor team that beat Sligo 4-1 on Sunday, so some of them should be fit and sharp. I'd fancy Claremorris to come through the tie, although I'd be delighted to see Ballymote go through(I'm an ex Ballymote player:-)

They surely will,heard they have serious side this year,lester top signing for them.

**republican** · 10/01/2012, 1:13 PM

saints will probably beat wicklow rovers but 9/1 about wicklow is way too big if thats the same side saints beat 4nil last year. scoreline was not true reflection of the game that day.

**the runner** · 10/01/2012, 2:14 PM

Willow have a very strong side this year i have seen them play a good few times this year and i think the team they have now are even better than the side that won lenister 2 years ago. They still have most of that squad and they have added a few quality players. Tramore will have a very tough game sunday i cant see willow losing after all they have not lost a home game for 4 years.The 9/4 is a massive price for willow

Thanks the runner,thats interesting,havent being beaten at home in 4 years,is that just fai or all comps?

**cufc champions** · 10/01/2012, 2:33 PM

I heardWillow were strong, for Carrick chances of reigning back in Tramore in the league I hope they go further in the comp and hopefully fixtures will catch up with them.

**the runner** · 10/01/2012, 2:36 PM

Yes that's in all comps. And i have been told that Willow are delighted with this draw that's why i was very surprised to see them priced at 9/4 at home

They will be delighted with 9/4 so. All I can vouch is Tramore are a decent outfit, up there with best of Munster teams I have seen so far this season. It could an absolute belter in Athlone on Sunday.

**republican** · 10/01/2012, 3:02 PM

willow lost at home to clonmel in fai 2 years ago?? correct me if wrong.

Why would castlebar give sheriff a big advantage playing on a astro surface, sheriff play all there matches on that surface, only chance castlebar had was playing on grass ill go 4nil to sheriff.

Clonmel Town beat them one nil 2 years ago. Dwaine Burns scored an early goal and they shut up shop then. It was the same day St. Michaels lost to Pike rovers but still went through.

What about yereselves kufc,??

**KUFCMan** · 10/01/2012, 5:44 PM

6-5 Kilbarrack,23-10 Draw.7-4 Kinsale

We were well beaten 3-1 by Ballymun in Nivea Cup last Sunday.Kinsale had us watched and probably think they will win.They will if we play like that although it was our poorest performance in 2 yrs,.I wouldnt take 6-5 as its too short against a team unbeaten this yr in all compos,although theyve not played a league game.It will be a cagey affair Id say,which could go all the way to pens.

I hear 7th Round draw is on today/tonight!
