Replying To ChasingShadows:  "Ballymote could get out of relegation if they managed to beat Molaise and the other game was a draw, or Curry won easily. It is a bit unlikely though."
You are correct. Fairly long shot. Another long shot would be Harps to beat Drumcliffe, Gaels to beat Mary's which would result in Gaels in semi final not relegation where I think they will be. Tubber could take down their boots again as they would then be group winners. Is this going to be Sligo's Super Sunday.

If it's a draw and ballymote win, molaise will be in relegation
Highly unlikely ballymote will get third either way"
Can't see Ballymote beating Molaise but if they do surely it will come down to score difference if there is a winner in the curry bunny game. Never heard of head to head between 3 teams!

If 2 teams finish level on points it goes to a head to head.
If 3 teams finish level it goes to point difference. It would need a serious chain of good fortune to save Ballymote.

In fairness to the powers that be they have produced a great format for a championship where every game matters even for those destined for relegation, getting 4th is better than 5th and the fight is still in them. We're good to criticise those in charge on this forum but this has worked out this year.

Not surprised at Tour and Mullinabreena win or Johns. Only one I'd be wondering about is Farnans not being able to beat Castleconnor.

Today I'll back Drumcliffe, Mary's, Bunninadden by the bare minimum and Molaise.

Publican is full of hot air if you read his posts. Hopefully Mary's will put it up to Tourlestrane cos if they don't the winners of the other semi final certainly won't be able for them. The Bunnies were unlucky and it wasn't the Curry game that will annoy them, it was the Enniscrone game. Curry and Molaise should both win their semi final but Curry are conceding big scores and this will catch them out sometime

I have to applaud Sligo GAA on the coverage they have provided over lockdown, that bunninadden v curry game was absolutly brilliant to watch and all from the comfort of the sitting room , could have gone either way, goals win games , bunninadden are a team coming out of transition , will be a force Shortly , and a excellent performance by Mary's , very clinical , tourlestrane v Drumcliff final for me and molaise v easkey final in the intermediate

Big weekend at both ends of the championship with semi finals taking place. How do ye see them going?

Here's my few anyway to get the ball rolling.

Senior:
Tour v Mary's: Tourlestrane to win handy enough
Drumcliffe v Coolera: wouldn't be surprised if this goes beyond normal time and I think Drumcliffe are the surprise team of this year

Relegation:
Geevagh v Shamrock Gaels: I think Geevagh have a more physical outfit which could sneak it for them

Harps v Mullinabreena: hard one to call but I think there has to be one good game in it for Harps.

Intermediate:
Curry v Easkey: Curry to win
Farnans v Molaise: Molaise to win

Relegation:
Ballymote v Michaels: Ballymote to win well enough
Enniscrone v Castleconnor: on paper you'd think Enniscrone but these neighbours could do anything but I'll stick with Enniscrone

Junior A:
Pats v Owenmore Gaels: Pats to do the job here just about
Cloonacool v Tourlestrane: I'm going to go wild and back Tour to win.

Going to disagree with a few of your predictions.
Mary's I think are the only team that can stop Tourlestrane. I think Group B is a lot weaker than Group A so I think Tourlestrane have beaten very poor teams. Having said that I am not sure if they are going to win on Sunday but they will give Tourlestrane a good run for their money. Coolera have done very well to reach the semi final without the aid of their poster boy which suggests that he may not be much of a loss. Drumcliffe are disciplined, organised and efficient and I think they will win. Coolaney should scrape past Harps and Gaels who have been a massive disappointment might get over Geevagh but a local derby especially if it's wet could go anyway.
Curry and Molaise to win their semifinals.
Cloonacool will put it up to Tourlestrane and might sneak it and something similar with Owenmore Gaels who may not be good enough for Pat's. It's been a good championship so far no with some very high scoring games.

Forgot about the intermediate relegation. Ballymote should win. Other one is more difficult to predict. Enniscrone minus Gavin Duffy against Castleconnor with a very unfit Kevin Mc Donnell coming out of retirement to help his club. I will chance Enniscrone.

No real shocks at the weekend. DRP slow to start but in the end showed their form. Tour really had to dig out a win against a Mary's team of suspect strength.
Pat's will be disappointed not to even make a Junior final.
Curry v SMG a hard one to call

well castleconner toppling enniscrone was a huge upset in my eyes, no real other suprises, drumcliff came good in the end, and my beloved harps are destined for the intermediate champ, speaking of which, it is molaises to lose, they should win that final handy enough
drumcliff could be a hurdle for tourlestrane, but drumcliff will struggle to get points against that defence, and thats the only reason they wont win, cause they will match them in every other position

I don't see how it was a huge upset, Castleconnor had shown improvement since the change of management. Enniscrone were by all accounts very poor when losing to Ballymote and also missing Gavin Duffy who had been a major scoring threat for them this year.

I can't see Molaise winning handy either, Curry have plenty of experience and scoring power as they have shown all through the champ.

Tourlestrane not setting the world on fire this year but still in the final they will be fav's hopefully drumcliffe can topple them for a landmark triumph, any word on bans for o hara and mcgowan after their shenanigans on the sideline at the weekend?

Good to see a new face on here. Sligopublican is not to be taken seriously . He makes outlandish predictions every week and claims to be from about 5 different areas. But he is great craic. I have heard nothing about the duo of managers and their antics. It's a pity that such an experienced couple are so disrespectful to the championship by naming such blatantly inaccurate teams each week. Did anyone really think that the midfield would be 2 Egan's and that Harte, Mc intyre, the 2 Henrys and James Leonard would not be starting
