Univeristy season 2007/08

[ExiledGael]

Impressive result for the Guards, who do they have playing this season?
O'Mahony surely isn't at the minute anyhow, Cussen?

[mattockranger]

thats a great result where do you get results about third level competitions??

think Cussen is still available, james Murray from louth also not altogether sure about their line up.

That draw can't be complete, no sign of NUIG?

[youbetterbelieveit]

missing WIT aswell!

[INDIANA]

bernard brogan and hanratty are not in DCU this year

[shark]

missing WIT aswell!

WIT dropped to Trench Cup

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

The winners of the Ranch and Carlow must play NUIG then because as it is listed there the second round would only produce 6 teams instead of the 7 needed (plus the hosts).

Queen's Poly is one to look forward to anyway. I make that 5 years in a row they've played each other.

Think your right TAC, having sem them playe earlier in the year, Queen's look a better outfit.

Higher Education Authority chiefs are expected to turn down an offer to play the Fitzgibbon and Sigerson Cup finals at Croke Park.

GAA president Nickey Brennan has said the stadium would be available to host the High Education Authority's two flagship tournaments, but chairman Jack Devanney has admitted that a lot of other things have to be taking into consideration.



"You have to take other things into account, such as the availability of Croke Park, especially with other sports as well," he said at the draw for the 2009 competitions.

"Our competitions are concluding at a stage where you are coming off the back of two rugby internationals and coming into St. Patrick's Day. It's very hard to see how you would fit it into the schedule for Croke Park. We did make an application for our Freshers final to be a double-header (under lights) in the middle of the week. Maybe that is still on the table.

"Another thing we have to acknowledge is that this is a stadium for 80,000 people. To have that weekend with the press and TV coverage it brings - it is going to look rather small on its own in Croke Park."



Probably correct. Whie I don't like the idea of other sports stopping it happening, you probably would only get a couple of thousand. Also, about 30 or 40% of these lads will robably play in Croker at some stage.
