I think it's great having Dundalk v Rovers so early in the Cup. It opens up the draw for other teams, especially if they can get through this round and get a handy tie next round.
The final last year was a mismatch but it has to have been great for Shels as a club to get that sort of promotional opportunity. And even Treaty in the semis.
I think that's more important than giving the top four another helping hand tbh
Surely the scheduling of the Cup could be rearranged though so it's not in non-league preseason?
