There is never any shortage of drama and pulsating action with this competition and this year shouldn't be any different with so many strong clubs involved.
Crumlin United lifted the trophy following a gripping final in the Aviva Stadium last May and there will be no shortage of contenders for that prize once the games kick off in September.
