Tftes 343

Ed McGinty was the hero as Rovers won their FAI Cup quarter-final in Drogheda on penalties. But what about teams and cup competitions that no longer exist? Because that's the theme of our author series this week - purely a coincidence that Rovers travel to Turner's Cross on Friday - featuring Philip O'Rourke's 'Forgotten Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland', and Simon Turner's book called 'Tinpot', with Jim Conroy pitching in with his own memories from Rovers' games against Cork Celtic and Cork Hibs back in the day, and in defunct Irish tournaments like the Shield and Texaco Cup.
