Have Gorey Rangers ever made to the first proper round of the Cup? Seems to be the only team out of those 20 inter/junior teams who I can't recall reaching that stage
The draw for the Preliminary Round has been made today, with ties to be played in the w/e April 9th:
Ringmahon Rangers (Cork) v Killester/Donnycarney
St Patrick's CYFC (Dublin) v Willow Park (Westmeath)
Kilbarrack United v Drumcondra FC
St Michael's AFC (Tipp) v Ballynanty Rovers (Limerick)
Cockhill Celtic (Donegal) v St Mochta's (Dublin)
Skerries Town v Newmarket Celtic
Portlaoise AFC v Usher Celtic
Home Farm v Rockmount (Cork)
Byes to First Round Proper:
Avondale United (Cork)
Bangor Celtic
Lucan United
Gorey Rangers
As for who seems best placed to upset a League club, probably Usher Celtic, Avondale, and possibly Rockmount, should they progress.

The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Rather surprisingly, after their recent Leinster Senior Cup heroics, Usher Celtic promptly lost 2-1 in Portlaoise, while St Pats CYFC had a comfortable 4-0 win over Willow Park.
Cockhill Celtic beat St Mochtas 5-4 after ET,winner in 121st minute.....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Ringmahon Rangers edge out Killester 1-0, while Kilbarrack put five past Drumcondra.
Anyone with the FAI Connect app, take a look at that Killester Drumcondra game, 66th minute a lad called Eoghan Hampson was subbed off. The profile picture for him is what looks like a childhood passport photo. Only this country would that happen on the national association’s app!
Paaatrick's Agletic
Ha ha that's brilliant. How in this day and age is that the only photo they have of him?!
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Same for Josh Keegan on the Kilbarrack bench
I guess they may have been on an underage squad together. But GDPR would ask why the FAI still have passport photos years later

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.
Intermediate Cup final is being held in Sligo as well. It's a pity clubs don't get their big day out in Aviva, irrespective of where they're located.

Anyone know when the draw for the next round takes place?
