    Setanta Cup Semi

    Correct me if I am wrong here lads, but if Shels ,who won last night in their semi, go on to win the league then all we have to do is to win the Semi-final v Derry to be assured of the Playoff spot v 1st Div Champs for the last Setanta Cup Place. This is because Shels will,hopefully, already have qualified as Champs !!

    Easy isn't it

    Doubt it. Reckon it'll go to 3rd/4th place in the league but wouldn't be surprised with any outcome (They've announced nothing BTW)

    It didn't work for us last year.

    I don't think that play-off starts til next year anyway, LC winners get the Setanta place AFAIK.

    Which means runners up if Shels already qualify.

    No it doesn't. We were runners-up last year to Derry who'd qualified through the league and we didn't get into the Setanta Cup. The place went to Shels who finished third in the league.
