How does this year's tournament kick-off with the Drogheda v Dungannon 'meeting of the minnows' game ? Does that start earlier than the other games that night ?

Linfield v Derry City tv game ko 8pm, all other games that night 7.45pm.

They broke the bank with "tickets for up to 40 children"

Olly was afraid that if too many kid's tickets were given out for free, there'd be no-one to watch Shels.....

Sorry ndrog - but when it comes to this year's Setanta Cup, Drogheda and Dungannon are the smallest clubs from each side of the border in it. There's no denying that. Winning a trophy doesn't change that fact,

So what ?

I think they meant the cross border kids programme kicked off with the Dungannon v Drogs game (2 clubs close enough to each other & no history of animosity) in case any trouble?
