A few one sided county final scorelines at the weekend, Longford, Laois and Wicklow and Tullamore won relatively comfortably in Offaly . Meanwhile very little in the Sligo and Westmeath finals and Leitrim's has to go to a replay.
Nice to see a few clubs who hadn't won a county title in a while, Clonduff in Down their first in 26 years, Clonguish in Longford a first in 17 years, St Marys winning Sligo for the first time in 11 years and the biggest famine coming to an end was An Tóchar winning Wicklow for the first time in 31 years. Kilcoos 14 year dominance in Down only broken by Clonduff this year and Burren 8 years ago. Portarlington have now done a 6 in a row and Tullamore have done a 4 in a row.

Replying To mintyfresh: "What are the chances he would go in with footballers? He has been very loyal to the hurlers, especially the last few years. Didn't Dessie try to bring him in his last year? I think he would be a great addition and no better man than Mark McHugh to try and get him involved." Was he not in with the footballers at the start of the year last year? But couldn't shake a niggling injury and so stepped away to deal with it?

Replying To UnbiasedAndHighlyEducated: "Agreed. It seems a few of the 'hair boys are looking to stir the pot
Whilst I think the inter final will be closer than many think, Dromahair will not be able to keep up with Annaduff. Lot of focus on Cox, are we forgetting that Annaduff have 6 - 8 very capable forwards outside of him? A fine mix of youth and experience, strong through the lines, plenty of different options to bring in. Annaduff would beat Dromahair without Cox. Of that I am sure.
Dromahair have a couple of tricky forwards. If it becomes a shootout, Annaduff by 10. If Dromahair batted down the hatches and are hard to play through, they will run them tight.
Annaduff bench to make all the difference. Duffers by 5. Thanks so millions" Agreed if it's a shootout rather then a war of attrition that most teams try to deploy when faced with Annaduff, Dromahair will be punished badly. Melvin got the most change outta them by defending then fast countering, when they went all out attack, they were cut open from the turnover. Duff also have 3/4 forwards to spring from the bench if their starters tire or injure so I don't see a way for Dromahair other than trying to keep it as low scoring as possible when they don't have the wind

Replying To Dennis_Maroon95kg: "How'd you figure that one out??" Athlone drew with Tubberclair. You can't rank teams purely on head to head or results, just because St Loman's beat Kinnegad by 10 points and Tubberclair brought St Loman's to extra time doesn't mean Tubberclair will beat Kinnegad. Different teams have different strengths, weaknesses, playing styles etc. Form, injuries, conditions and performances can also be influential.
