AVENUE UTD have managed to avoid any of the big guns in the fourth round of the FAI Junior Cup.
David Russell’s charges ended Newmarket Celtic’s bid to retain the national title with a 3-1 win on Sunday in Roslevan.
They will be travelling to Tipperary for the fourth round where they will face Two Mile Borris St Kevin’s FC but they will wear the favourites tag. The fixture is due to take place on November 26th.
Last year’s beaten finalists St Michael’s AFC have been drawn away to Tramore AFC.
While Avenue are the only Clare side remaining in the competition, the county’s interest doesn’t end just there.
Ennis’ Colm Walsh O’Loghlen is part of the Pike Rovers side and they have received a home draw against Castlebar Celtic.
Current Munster Junior Cup champions, Regional Utd who have Shannon duo Eoin Duff and Brian O’Connor along with Newmarket-on-Fergus’ Rob Shier in their line-up have been handed a Limerick derby against Fairview Rangers in what is arguable the pick of the thirty two ties.
