GAME'S TO BE PLAYED JULY 27th 2008
what bour the intermediate cup anybody got full draw for that ???
Thanks for posting it up Chick!
Interesting draw.....Have Athlone and Monaghan League being in the Senior Cup b4? Where are St Francis from? I apologise for my ignorance!!!
I know its pretty early...but who do ye think will get into 2nd round?
3 id go with to get through to 2nd round would be mayo league, galway league and wilton
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations".
I would say Mayo, Ballina, Drogheda and Raheny. Knock are suppose to have a very strong and physical team lined up for the coming season so this might cause a problem for the current holders Galway. Aisling Annacotty v Wilton i think will depend on what players both teams will have on the day but when these teams have met previously in underage competitions the matches have always been explosive and brilliant. Both squads are extremely talented and again it will be determined on how local competitions leave the players b4 July 27th.
Limerick League are not as strong this year due to Aisling Annnacottys participation in Senior cup and their entrance into second round will depend on the calibre of the Monaghan League but Limerick teams are battlers and have always had an unlucky draw having got in 2006 Dundalk (2005 winners) in 2006 Mayo (2006 winners) and Mayo again last year!
Peamount v Ballincollig is also an interesting tie. I have never seen Peamount play but they are a good side. Ballincollig are also a good side but when i watched them play a couple weeks back in a challenge the squad was depleted with a good few young girls and this could hamper their efforts but i do not know what their squad is like week in week out so a person involved in Cork league would prob give a better assessment, the same for Peamount.
There are going to be some exciting times!!
cant see ballincollig beating peamount, they've lost alot of key players over the close season and pretty much have a young team now with not much experience.
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations".
I agree with Ramladies, I can’t see BAllincollig beating Peamount. Ballincollig are going through a major transition at the moment and have a very young team, no doubt they will be strong in a couple of years when the likes of Zoe Murphy is a bit older but not this year. Unless Kariena Richards comes back from the USA and plays along with Susan Donovan and Sarah O’Donovan. But last year Kariena and Sarah didn’t play at all and Susan only played a little. I think with those players they have a chance but without them it’ll be a very tough game. I also think Wilton will be much too strong for Annacotty besides Lisa Toohy I don’t think any Annacotty player would get in Wilton starting line up. Annacotty won’t roll over for Wilton but I cant see them winning that game.
Aren't St Francis made up of all ucd players from last year?
monaghan league?? sure thats not just monaghan utd team, dont think there is a league up there...
galway league will perform well again this season

Athlone Ladies are actually Bealnamulla and have been withdrawn as Combined Counties are entered as a league in their own right
Monaghan are Monaghan united and are a club and not a league
College Corrinthians are a club from Cork.
Some interesting ties coming up and once the cup kicks off, it will begin to generate a bit of excitement
So if Athlone,Monaghan,College Corintihans are clubs how were they accepted into senior cup.Is there not certain criteria that must be met to make a club qualify for the competiton?
The Senior Cup was initially a club cup competition, but a few years back the WFAI decided to allow league representatives teams play in the cup to try and expand the competition.
I was always under the impression that you had to either win the intermediate cup or at least get to the final before you could enter the senior cup? is this not the case anymore? It seems as if teams are just entering now for the sake of it! I think this will only bring down the standard of this competition, this cup competition should be the cup that all teams aspire to playing in once they've worked their way up from Junior-Intermediate to senior.
As for the corinthians team? is that def the cork side college corinthians, thought they had folded last year??
Its definitely the Cork side cos our league side is playing them in the first round.
Strangely, anyone can enter the Senior Cup, its just that clubs that dont have to, usually dont. Its good to see clubs with the ambition to play above themselves want to enter it but I personally think there should be a qualifying criteria as there is in the mens cup
Nice one Wexford rules;Like to see clubs with ambition enter.nothing like a handy draw to get a team going.But seriousley are these open competions can a club jump from senior to intermediate or junior.....
