It was tweeted by Tiarnan Mulvena this morning. I don't know where he got it though.

Found it, its on the Dundalk website

Waterford 1-1 Cobh.. half time

[patrickccfc]

Waterford 2-1 up now

[patrickccfc]

Full time 2-1 just as i predicted

AFAIK, 2nd Round will be an open draw, pool by pool. Each pool now has 4 clubs, so second round winners all go into the Cup quarter-finals, where there will be a full open draw.
2nd Round draw could take place any time soon, now that all 1st Round matches have been played, but not much later than the week after Easter, I suspect!

Round schedule is as follows:
MON/TUE 20/21 May – SECOND ROUND
MON 01 Jul – QUARTER-FINALS
MON 05 Aug – SEMI-FINALS
SAT 21 Sep – FINAL

[gormacha]

Full time 2-1 just as i predicted

If either side had a decent finisher it would have been about 6-4. I don't recall seeing so many gilt-edged chances spurned in a single game for quite some time.

<looks wistfully into the distance thinking of Seani Maguire> Sigh.

[Dodge]

These are the pools. Max of 3 possible opponents for each club

Teams left;
Pool 1; Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Wexford
Pool 2; Finn Harps, Mervue, Derry, Sligo
Pool 3; Bohs, Bray, Pats, Salthill

After this round, the pools are forgotten

Wexford will either get a bye, or will win their first round tie and draw City in the next round. Think its due to be played in Wexford this year.

No, because then Cork City couldn't draw Wexford Youths for the 6th year running in the League cup.

2008 Cork City 0-1 Wexford Youths
2009 Cork City 1-1 Wexford Youths (Wexford on Pens)
2010 Cork City 3-0 Wexford Youths
2011 Wexford Youths 0-1 Cork City
2012 Cork City 5-1 Wexford Youths

We've both received byes to the second round this year so thats a banker draw.

Called it.

[adamd164]

We'll draw Wexford, have done every year for what feels like an eternity.

Called it as well.

[nigel-harps1954]

It's almost as bad as us getting Derry. At least this time it's in Finn Park.

[patrickccfc]

It's getting ridiculous at this stage.. I know it gives us a great chance of getting through but would of been good for a change to get waterford

[NeverFeltBetter]

Waterford. Lost four in a row last year, maybe Thomond and the lack of Maguire will alter things.

I'll most likely make that Munster derby next month. I've a happy memory of the Kerry League beating Waterford United in a shoot-out on Easter Monday in March '08!

what competition was that legendz? league cup?

[brendy_éire]

what competition was that legendz? league cup?

Would have been. Few years back they had Kerry and Mayo leagues included in the LC.

[legendz]

It was the league cup alright. I didn't really see a need for the Kerry League to be entering when Dynamos were in the A Championship but with that gone, I'd have thought the Kerry League team would still enter the league cup. In saying that though, the main reason for the Kerry League team entering was for the competitive game ahead of the Oscar Traynor Cup.
