At last!
There will be a double header of FAI Cup draws at the Guinness Store House, Gravity Bar in Dublin on Wednesday evening. The draws for the third round of the FAI Cup and the first round of the WFAI (women's) Cup will take place.
The FAI Cup was blown wide open with the elimination of both of last year's finalists Drogheda United and Cork City while recently crowned A.U.L Premier Division "A" Champions Killester United are the only non league team left in the last 16 of the competition.
The draws are due to begin at 5:30pm although there is no confirmation yet of TV coverage.

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
At 5:30?! Sure there's no chance of live coverage then. What great marketing. And the FAI are the people we are supposed to hand over the league to because, inter alia, they are in the best position to market it (to paraphrase Genesis).
Time for the FAI to cop on to themselves. Draw on Monday evening straight after a round of games. End of story. Fresh in people's minds, some either/ors to make the replays more interesting and the Cup doesn't get forgotten about.
We're on the FAI's media distribution list at Walk The Chalk and haven't heard diddly squat about it. Perhaps its a meant to be a secret draw.

At home to Killester Utd will do nicely...I would assume that the WFAI Cup draw will be on first and then the main draw will be on live on Six-One news...?
Stu, the draw is on live on the six one news on RTE. As far as I know, they put 5.30 on that so as to get everyone in on time and get them seated by the time RTE go across.
That's what they did last time 'round anyway

Good draw for us. No offence meant to Limerick but a home draw avoiding Shels and Derry is as good as you could hope for. Will the Bohs-Rovers match be bigger than recently with it being the only one (barring a replay) of the year?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
