Such was the chapter of FAI Cup our history that will be detailed under 2020. There are more to be written 1927/28, 1934/35, 1969/70, though, greater nights with great support. 1975/76, 1991/1992, Last Monday week was a fantastic end to the season. Cork handed in 2000/01, 2008 their notice in previous weeks and it will be interesting to see what path their future goes down in the coming year. Sligo’s resurgence had been League Cup interesting to watch personally, as one who holidays in that area frequently 1974/75, 1978/79, 2009 I took delight in seeing them lift from bottom of the table to fourth spot.
