A Cork team will always be up against it in the FAI Junior Cup. There are lots of teams in it from Limerick, Waterford, Tipp etc who are MSL standard but as they don't have a Senior League, they are in the FAI Junior Cup. Paddy Power betting on the cup reflects the strenght of the teams left. This year the favourites for the FAI Junior Cup are Cockhill Celtic who played in the Intermediate Cup final v Rockmount in April. As the Ulster Senior League is no more, they now play in the Junior ranks. Who would beat them ?? You are coming up against ex LOI players etc the further you go in the competition. A great experience for a Cork AUL team but it can be an extremely tough one the further you go in the competition. Grattan and Grange Vale are the only 2 teams from Cork in it and both AUL at that. Well done to them for achieving this but they wont get near a last 8 or anything like that. Teams will be too strong for them. Not their fault , its just the calibre of teams in it.

@ Peter Swan , the Grattan B game was played up on Mayfield Uniteds astro.

But your version of events dose make a better read if I was an Abalougeford fan.

The Fai draw is a tough , good luck to both

One of the best intermediate teams in the country never mind junior in Cockhill Celtic. You�d wonder how motivated they are to win a junior cup when they are so full of talent and used to playing a level above.

Grattan will be up against it with that away game in limerick but absolutely nothing to lose for them.

Special mention to Castleview, a team that very little fancied to win the league let alone be (arguably) the team of the year at the half way point.
I know nothing is won but they have had a great start.

**Harsh ref** · 21/12/2023, 4:01 PM

Shandon and Hill only two teams with 100% record in league and we haven�t got through Xmas yet and Goal giving out team of the year my god what has this page come to.

**Jason Bourne** · 21/12/2023, 5:18 PM

Ref , ur worse to take any notice .

**Harsh ref** · 21/12/2023, 6:29 PM

Don�t get me wrong Jason view playing very well but as I�ll keep saying they have plenty of players just think it�s very early for that talk it was only back start of season people were saying Grattan were old me I said myself they had few lads in 30th and now their being tipped for league and AOH so long way to go yet before we can talk team of the year.

MOD EDIT: Suspended for personal abuse.

**Jason Bourne** · 21/12/2023, 8:04 PM

In fairness now Goal, Ref just gave his opinion in a respectful manner. No need to lower the tone.

There's probably half a dozen teams who have had good starts.

Opinions draw opinions , that's the nature of the game .
