Good to start to see the final pairings for the Senior Championship:
Scotstown + Clontibret (Semi's)
Inniskeen v Corduff
Ballybay v Latton

Is it an open draw for the semi's or are there no repeat pairings (example Inniskeen + Clontibret, Scotstown + Ballybay)?

Replying To Tiarnach87:  "Cheers for that. Bizarre when you see the final table and Clones in third with better overall points difference. Can't see the logic in H2H points difference, as surely performance in all games should be taking into account."
Particularly for Clones and Blackhill who did better in the league but through the quirk of the structure despite it being a league based format for league and championship it came down to two or maybe three big games for Tyholland all year and they won them (or at least in yesterday's case, lost one by less than 6 points).

Correct not to take scores with other teams into account. There can be too many variables.

Winners of Ballybay v Latton play Clontibret

Are semi final pairings decided by open draw or some other mechanism / criteria?

Will Inniskeen V Corduff be in a neutral venue, or will Banty look to get it played in Inniskeen so that both teams can be at home?

Yup... id agree, tyholland with 2 wins in 60 minutes of football this year stay up, quite ridiculous if ye ask me, but that's the rules, suppose its same for all..

Hopefully Corduff win would be great to see a different team doing well

People ruling out Aghabog in the championship is completely ludicrous. They have played without a full team for the whole of the championship so far, just goes to show how little junior games people go to and make predictions based off results. All semi finalists will come from group 1.

Most teams have played the championship without their full teams. Aghabog just don't have the stomach for hard hitting championship football. Saw a couple of their championship games and they are just not up to it.

Its ludicrous not to rule them out!

They haven't won a championship match in nearly 3 years and it probably wont change any time soon!!!
But yeah they'll win the championship!!! Good one!!
