3-0 to us.
We've a strong team heading down, including five or six first-teamers who are out of the starting XI at the moment or who are just coming back from injury. I think (hope!) that would be too strong for a team like Kildare.

I wouldn't even begin to hazard a guess. On paper we should win but with players returning from injury and the low key nature of the tie who knows what might happen?
Can't end 0-0, obviously. Extra time and penalties on the day.Originally Posted by steno
Thank God for small mercies.
Well from what Ive heard UCD won on penalities.
All I can say is hard luck boys, we should be proud of the effort and we techically got a draw with a premier league side.
Cmon County!
4-2, after an apparently tedious 0-0 draw.
Quigley saved the first two; Timmy Purcell, Conor Sammon, Conor Kenna and Greg Bolger scored for us, with Conan Byrne missing.
Wasn't too tedious. Was exciting in the second half, in a tense kind of way. Well done lads, put their all into it.
You must get awful shíte in the First Division if you thought that was exciting. Never been at a worse game or a game where you could be so certain that neither side would score.
It was exciting in a tense point of view as the second half went on.
See what I tell you, 0-0 never predict on penos bit of a lottery IMO. But having said that Quigley pulled off two decent saves, so hats off to him. Wasn't much in the way of chances and the lads did look dissappointed coming off.
Considering that there was only 4 regulars in last nights team I think the lads can be proud of themselves. Ryaner must have a bit of a selection headache for Saturday now.

Fair play to Kildare for having the student ticket price as low as €5, it's a fair price for League Cup 1st round.
As a matter of interest, how many seats does your stand have?
Only 4 regulars ? A decent performance in that case. Your 8 on the left wing and the 10 up front look decent. Are they regulars ?
No 10 is ger robinson, he is just back, think he is/was also in the Meath GAA panel. No 8 was Eoin Kavanagh has made a couple of sub appearances so far this season and done well. All in all I think County performed quiet well last night.

250 seats I think but could be 200 corprote area for i think 80.

The GAA reference makes sense - did you see that vignette in the second half when you wree on the attack but the ref gave us a free out ? the ball came at waist height to the 10 and he caught it, looked up and was on the verge of tapping it over the bar ! It was like watching a slimmed down verison of Corkery or Keaveney or someone !!
Any plans to increase seated capacity?
250 plus 80 in corporate area. Two temporary stands going in opposite the current stand soon (was meant to be this month, hopefully still is). That will increase our capacity by 700 I think.
€5 is the student price at all of our games, whether it's the League Cup or the League or FAI Cup.
I deserve a medal for looking through that match a second time! All 120 minutes!
I've distilled it down to a few highlights.
