North End have beaten Killarney Celtic. 4-1 to North End I believe. North End stayed in Killarney last night as their coach left Wexford at about 6pm.
Usher Celtic,
Pike Rovers,
Newfoundwell,
St. Michael's,
Newmarket Celtic,
Shannon Town/Evergreen,
Mervue United,
Killarney Celtic/North End United.
It's really up for grabs this year, I'd say five or six of the remaining eight could very well win it.
Last I checked (think the odds are down at the moment) Michael's and Pike were joint favourites.

Fine win for North End, they were 1-0 down at half time as well. Shannon Town also had a big win against last season's finalists, Evergreen, 7-6 on pens after a 0-0 draw. Agree with Shearer, all 8 remaining will fancy themselves. I believe the quarter final draw will be held on Wednesday.
Thanks, Johnnie C & Deadly. North End do look stronger on paper this year. But it's always difficult to compare junior sides from different regions.
Apparently Newfoundwell fielded a player who had already played in the FAI Intermediate Cup with St. Mochta's, the player in question also scored the equalising goal.
Shannon v Pike
Usher v st Mikes
Mervue v Newmarket
North End v Ayrfield.
Shannon defo at home.Not sure of others.
North End are drawn away again. They're not getting it easy.
Some good games to look foward to there,Pike will be delighted with the draw ,should see the favourites through.Shannon have crept through unnoticed ,have a big home tie to look foward to.
North end will hopefully win it
Pike are soft,can't see the winning it
Maybe the winners of usher/st.micheals game will play north end in the final if they avoid eachother in the semis
Pike have a great chance to win the fai
Of course Pike have a great chance to win the Fai,their the favourites and got the draw everyone else wanted.The withdrawel of all Pikes players from the Oscar Traynor squad shows what the priorities are.
Pike v Newmarket on 8th April in Jackman Park.Both win on pens today.St Micks also win and await the fiasco that's going on.
Does it have to be a (somewhat) neutral venue? You'd imagine Pike would play the game out of Crossagalla but I'm merely assuming.
Yes.Home county but neutral ground.
North End have beaten Ayrfield 3-0 and now play St. Michaels in the semi-final.
