While it might increase our chances of winning the thing, I would have liked to have at least one decent sized club on our side. Can't see much interest in many of these games apart from Ports. City v Linfield or v Glens (or even Derry) would have been a great occasion

Unfortunately there won't be much interest in it. Our crowds last year were pretty poor considering we were top practically all season.

It's no offence to Drogs, but do you really think ye'll bring a crowd down to Cork in February? the tournament hasn't really caught the imagination of Joe Public (Barstoolers) yet and it needs a few big North/SOuth games to catch on
