Setanta Sports Cup 2007

Setanta Sports Cup 2007

The Setanta Sports Cup 2007 is the 3rd staging of the cross-border cup competition that takes place between football clubs from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The final is scheduled to be played at Windsor Park in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 12 May 2007, and will be contested by Drogheda United and Linfield, the only two sides to have previously won the competition.

helbourne's withdrawal

The draw for the 2007 Setanta Cup competition was made on 7 December, 2006 with the original competing teams being the identical ones to the previous year's competition. On 30 January,2007, however, Shelbourne announced that they were withdrawing from the competition for reasons relating to their financial troubles and the fact that they would be unlikely to field a team of players. Their place was given to the 2006 FAI Cup runners-up to Derry City, St Patrick's Athletic, despite the fact that the next best-placed in the previous season's league (Shelbourne's qualification route), who did not have a place in the Setanta Cup already, were Sligo Rovers. While it is likely that the organisers transferred Derry, who finished second in the league, into Shelbourne's empty slot, first in the league, for the purpose of official qualification and then accorded St Pat's qualification by way of the FAI Cup, this would have logically entailed Derry moving into Group 2 to fill Shelbourne's place, while St. Patrick's should compete in Group 1 in the place of the moved Derry. Fact|date=February 2007 However, it is possible that for the purposes of the initial draw, teams were accorded lots on an alphabetical basis.Fact|date=February 2007 Thus, it would follow that St. Patrick's would have been assigned the same lot as Shelbourne and would have, as a result, been drawn in the same slot anyway.Fact|date=February 2007
