Six Tipperary clubs in FAI Junior Cup last 32 action this weekend

Six Tippeary clubs are in FAI Junior Cup action this weekend – four from the TSDL, one from north Tipp and one from the Waterford league.

It’s testament to the standard of junior soccer in the county that six from one county are in the last 32 in the glamour competition.

And three are former winners who will hope to triumph again – two times winners St.Michael’s, Clonmel Town and Carrick United.

Clonmel Town are first in action when they meet Dublin hot shots Tolka Rovers in the capital on Saturday at 2pm – a huge test for Town.

St. Michael’s are also on the road, travelling to Galway to take on Ballinasloe Town on Sunday.

Like Clonmel Town, Waterford League side Carrick United are Dublin-bound to meet Ayrefield United on Sunday after overcoming Mayo visitors Straide and Foxford United last weekend.

 Clonmel Celtic, Galbally United  and Nenagh Celtic have home ties on Sunday  – the Clonmel side welcoming Newmarket Celtic,Nenagh hosts to Mervue; and Galbally United home to one of the cup favourites, Usher Celtic from Dublin. All games have 2pm kick-offs.

There is also a full progamme of league and cup action in the TSDL this weekend.
