I could get 1 or 2 teams from waterford

Could this be the birthplace of the inaugural foot.ie cup.

I could probably get a ground to host a one day tournament if anyones interested in travelling.

How about sticking this in the Junior League section as a sticky as most leagues will be winding down now....

I seem to remember some cork fans waving a foot.ie cup around belfield a few years ago. Is it still in existance anyone?

That's right, there was a "Foot.ie Challenge Cup" a couple years ago. I went to a trophy shop to get the smallest trophy they had, but when I hooked up with the lads that evening Joe had procured an even smaller one. So there's actually two, but I think the one I got was actually "engraved".

Anyway, I was thinking of setting up a probationary forum called "Foot.ie Casuals", but given discussion in this thread - that's kind of why I asked - I'm not so sure now. However I get the impression that between all the organisational conversations and the slagging and cheering afterwards there'll be plenty of discussion to warrant a forum, what does everyone else think?

I'd definately be up for some kind of organised football, like a foot.ie cup (especially as I wasn't in Ireland for the last one), but my original intention was for a forum were people could post messages for pick-up games like this:

"Game of Football
Sunday May 1st, at 3pm,
Douglas Village Green, Cork
Need an extra 5-7 players."

NB - This is a fictional entry, there isn't actually a game of football organised for Sunday May 1st at 3pm! There isn't anywhere called 'Douglas Village Green' anyway!

But continue discussing a tournament anyway aswell - all football is good (well, except if its Finn Harps

)

That was my intention too. If a competition came out of it, well and good, but it wouldn't be mandatory.

Waterford has an annual inter firms competition called the Factory League. Ill be looking for opposotion (11 a side) if anyone can offer some competition.

A venue and ref is ready to role if any of you can provide opposition in May. Ill be managing the company's B side so the standard doesnt have to be that great.
