Heard on 2fm sports show Game on that Fai have confirmed that 2014 cup winners will play league winners in Presidents Cup a week before start of 2015 season.
Exclusive picture.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
So, just a simple, single-tie Super Cup dealie?

According to herald it will back before the 2014 season,I had heard it would the 2015 campaign.
Is there a reason they couldn't do it next year?

Yeah - Shams wouldn't be in it.
Dunno 'bout that - have heard that the qualifying criteria are 'one team must have a name including the letters S and R, must play in green and white hoops and out of a state owned football ground, unless league or cup criteria supercede such criteria ie winning league and/or cup'. new competition rules also state that to accuse NGB of favouritism means immediate expulsion if any member/supporter/tea lady from any other club are to insinuate such scurrilious things...........
yup still bored
Be great to see the game played somewhere like Lansdowne Road. A great way to kick off the season.

Good to see this competition back, I would play it at Dalymount in order to add to the traditional feel of it.
Was it not reserved for clubs within Leinster previously as it was run by the LFA?
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Surely The President's Cup has to be played in The Phoenix Park and Michael D referees.
Yeah, could change year to year depending on the competitors, but I imagine it will stick firmly to the Dublin region. Might be kind of neat if it toured around the LOI over time though.

I think its great to open the season with this, especially as it has the President's imprimatur. Wonderful to have a genuinely inclusive Prez.
Shams having a B team in Division is making sense now. When they wein everything next season (surely they must, being the biggest and bestest club in the wuddled) they can play the B team in The Presidents Cup. Aviva, obviously, as Tallaght only holds 6000
How can you make a mockery of a trophy that has never been played for before? This being different to the old LFA trophy?
Play the game at the home of the champions each year. No need for nuetral grounds. It'll be treated as a preseason friendly by players and fans. No need for the likes of Aviva, Tallaght etc
