Notes
  1. Nenagh A.F.C. won 4–2 on penalties
  2. http://www.fai.ie lists Stella Maris as 1993–94 winners. The FAI Yearbook & Diary 1995 omits the 1993–94 final. Other sources, including the Tipperary Southern & District Football League website, claim St. Michael's won the cup in both 1993–94 and 1994–95
  3. FAI Yearbook & Diary 1995 lists runners-up as Wilton United while www.fai.ie lists runners-up as Milford United
  4. FAI Yearbook & Diary 1995 lists runners-up as Sligo United while www.fai.ie lists runners-up as Sligo Rovers U19
gollark: With my desktop, basically anyone can repair it if they can read a basic guide and have a screwdriver, and can obtain replacement parts.
gollark: This is partly a consequence of the greater integration necessary for thin devices (not that I think thinness is worth that), but partly just them being evil.
gollark: You can't practically *repair* iDevices. They are designed to prevent this.
gollark: Oh, also, <@151391317740486657>, Apple devices are basically impossible to repair.
gollark: If the wall end is sending mains power or HV power down the charging cable, you have bigger problems.
