I see the first round is due to be played between the first and second rounds of league games.
If it had been a week later teams could have played the game on St Patrick's day and possibly got better crowds. Perhaps some clubs will still look at this option. No use to us as we're away to Rovers on the 16th though.

It's a shame the Kerry League are involved any more. If a Kerry U19 side enters the U19 league next year, hopefully consideration might be given to entering the league cup again.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.

In previous years clubs in the Setanta received a bye in the first round (as did others). Expect the same this year
I attended a KDL vs Cork City game a few years ago. nice little away trip but there was a small crowd there and prob not a lot of money maid but there could have been 200 at the game although my memory isn't very sure.

not a bad idea to get non league teams to fill regional gaps.
Avondale or UCC would more than compete down South but not sure if they'll be asked

It was a good day the day we knocked out Waterford Utd. The games were usually seen as useful for the oscar traynor cup.
True but down south it's mostly been the Kerry District League as opposed to an MSL club side.

good to know we'll be getting through to the second round this year for our annual League Cup game against Wexford.
Our game v Limerick will have to be moved if the league match vs Pats is shifted to Sunday for TV. No confirmation of that yet though.
Hopefully Harps won't have trouble getting up for that one.

Our Setanta Cup second leg is due to be played on Monday the 10th so I can't see the league game being moved (well I hope not anyway)
Would have to be a lot if changes just to accomdate a Sunday game so it looks very unlikely.
last season we were due to play a setanta game on the Monday and it got moved to accommodate the whims of RTE deciding to show our game v Limerick so it's entirely possible. Agree it's ridiculous that it wouldn't have been announced by now but there you go.
