The draw takes place live on RTE2FM's Game On around 6:30pm. Derry City is ball number 4. Ideally ball 4 is drawn first then followed by either 7, 8, 10 or 12.

Tonight they are running a test event v Pats. They are allowing 800 in but only 40 tickets are for away fans. No doubt if it is successful an announcement will follow.

I went to Harps v Pats on Friday night, and it was a very entertaining game.

How Pats are second in the league is a mystery, as they were poor. Even Forrester was largely invisible.

Owolabi scored 3 good goals for his hattrick playing up front largely on his own, and is probably too good for Harps. Though he also spent a lot of time moaning about defenders etc. Would be interesting to see what he could do in a better team. McNamee hasn't the energy/legs he used to, but can still thread very good balls through. Harps have a couple of decent defenders not afraid to get their head to most balls, but overall they're no great shakes tbh. They continually worked hard to get the ball off of Pats, only to then give it back again 3 or 4 touches later due to sloppy passing. Harps were well worth the win overall versus a poor Pats side, but if we play a pacey organised game with good passing and keep Owolabi sidelined then we should have too much for them.

Hah ! Getting tickets for Friday's game was easy - I just went online as soon as the general release period started.

I'm sure tickets for the cup game will be a whole different story - especially for away fans :D

On Friday past, Harps only sold 600 of their allocation and didn't even try offloading the rest to Pats fans. This will obviously have greater demand.
