    The draw is being made at the National Museum at Collins Barracks, Dublin, tonight at 5.30pm.

    Not too sure whether it is being covered by the national media at all, but should be on the 6.01 news at least.

    eL Clubs:
    • Cork City
    • Derry City
    • Drogheda United
    • Shelbourne

    Irish League Clubs:
    • Dungannon
    • Glentoran
    • Linfield
    • Portadown

    Really looking forward to it, kicks off earlier this season (mid February) and ends in mid-April, with the semi-finals also taking place in April (on the 11th and 12th).

    Rico quite rightly complaining that this seriously disrupts his pre-season training, i'd imagine that it's the same for nuttsy and doolin an kenny.

    he siad that it's now basically become a pre-season tournament, and even though his players will only be 3/4 fit, that the games will be ultra competitive and the northern teams will obviously have the edge..

    Guess its kinda the reverse scenario to what happened when Shels played Glens last year in Europe so.

    I assume the eL is kicking off in mid-March again next season yeah? IIRC the first Setanta games were roughly at the same time the eL kicked off last season.

    Whatever happens there'll be some fantastic away trips! :)

    I don't think they could allow Shels/Cork/Glens/Linfield into the same group could they?! :D

    AFAIK, the league season kicks off the weekend of March 10th.

    I dont see why the Setanta should kick off so early. Why not run it from April to June when all clubs will be match fit. i know it will over run the end of the NI season, but at leats they will be fit.

    I hope City get Shels, Dungannon and Gelntoran.
