Anyone know what Galway Hibernians are like?

The second closest derby is still possible (Pegasus' exit at the start of the competition ended the closest one's chances). While the football team has moved pitches Mt Merrion is across the road from UCD. Pegasus would beat that as they're based in UCD.

You would recognise lots of players wearing the MM colours. Full of ex LOI players, like Howie King, Richie Parsons, Ian Douglas, Donal Broghan, Sean Byrne, Hysa, to name just a few.

Never knew they were playing there! They might well get through to the Second Round. Unfortunately, I'm in the Faroes for it...

Where are Lissadel Utd from?

Would be a great boost to soccer in Mayo if Westport qualified for the 2nd round.

Is Richie still playing ? thought he would have hung his boots up by now ? still a regular at the Carlisle.

[Longfordian]

He was in Flancare last year too..I think he's still our all time leading League goalscorer, Town legend.

What about Bonagee? Where are they from?

Just outside Letterkenny.

Pay attention dublinharp

I agree with Paudie there, it would be class if Westport could progress a bit. But lookin' at it, it'll probably be the usual suspects, Rockmount, Belgrove, Wayside et al.
