10/1 for St. Michaels in Boyles very tempting. Very tough tie away to Sheriff on astro turf pitch. Saints unbeaten all season in all competitions a great record considering their run of away draws. Big price for a team that reached final for past 2 years. If they can overcome Sheriff they will be no more than 3/1.

10/1 is a great price to get michaels at if they get passed sherieff..but tats a big if! i watch sheriff play regularly on there astro and the football they play on it is quality. they havnt lost a game since the opening day of the season in august in a freak result and micheals unbeaten all season, 2 teams on form its the game of the round and should be a great 1 to watch cant wait! of the dub teams remaining think sheriff, ballmun, odev will progress cant call the kilbarrack and sandyhill games as it cud be a coin toss (penos) to see who goes trough, Trinity corinthians will go out wont be strong enough in clonmel..

also any1 know what county the final is in this year or has it even been picked yet??

[Longshanks]

Not that much travelling in my opinion. Quarter-finals should see Dublin(3) Waterford(2) Tipp(2) and Limerick (1).

I'll go with a last 8 of:

Carrick, Pike, Sherriff, Tramore, O'Devaney(??), Peakevilla, Clonmel, Ballymun.

Sherriff v St Michaels would be well worth a view. O'Devaney and Sandyhill are teams that I feel most of us(contributors to the thread) know very little about. Carrick, Pike, Clonmel, Ballymun are fairly well known quality sides and should have too much for their opposition, I've read some good things about Tramore too.

But it is cup football and anything can happen, best of luck to Ballymote on Sunday against Carrick, hope to get to see some of the game. Athenry are in town on the Conn Cup at the same time, might try to get a half in each game

[cufc champions]

Carrick are looking for a 12pm kick off Longshanks, if that goes ahead you will get both games in.

CUFC, will you post on here if the game is confirmed for 12pm, chhers

[cufc champions]

almost everyone is writing saints chances off away to sheriff, should saints bother turning up???? while all at saints will recognise the size of the task 'huge' saints will not be in awe here and will relish the task. remember saints have contested the last 2 junior cup final's.

I would never write St Michaels off no matter who they were playing. However, considering how big a challenge Sheriff will be maybe they should rest a few players this Sunday and have them fit and ready for that game

Is fahy and richie ryan out for that game?if so it will make the task all that more difficult,especially with sherrifs two new signings.

[theboywonder8]

My teams to win are Kufc, milford, sheriff, tramore, o devaney, sandyhill, clonmel celtic, ballymun.

Milford???

[cufc champions]

Ballymote v Carrick stays a 2pm kick off

[Minesapint]

Milford???

I think they will beat pike , from what i saw of pike i think milford can take them at home.

[Minesapint]

So you have seen milford play so ?

No i have seen pike play.

[Longshanks]

So you have seen milford play so ?

have you?????

[Mighty almighty]

Anybody have any opinions on ballymun united,I no a local team playing them in next round,they are going well in there league,what kind of a outfit are they!!

[Minesapint]

So you have seen pike play but not milford.you must think pike are very poor so to say they will beat pike without watching them.and yes i have seen pike play many times.

very average teams have run them very close thats my opinion and donegal is a long trip.

[KUFCMan]

Any result from Balymote?

[KUFCMan]

RESULT

Ballymote 1-4 Carrick Utd

[Longshanks]

actually didnt stir today, so missed the game.....Carrick must've been good value. await confirmation from CUFC

[carrick hoops]

wasnt at the game , but the talk around the town is, ballymote could have been 2 up in first half , but carrick got 3 goals in 10 mins to kill off game ..
everyone in club happy to be in last 16, with a much changed squad from previous years , still great experience there though , both in players, coaches , and club .... WELL DONE !!!!
