Replying To ecad123: "Not the weather, it's the horse fair and the green is right beside the pitch. The road in front of the pitch was all blocked up that was the problem. Weather has actually been ok!" No horses on a Friday night. Today it was packed with horses yet Tynagh-Abbey/Duniry v Padraig Pearses and Killnadeemena-Leitrim v Ardrahan went ahead.

Well it wasn't the weather which was fine yesterday. Pitch looked great today so it wasn't the pitch either. it was packed yesterday early in the evening and it was hard to find parking today also.

It was called off yesterday because the pitch was unplayable according to the Co.Board, but its going ahead tomorrow with Clarinbridge home venue.

Replying To katser: "The only difference between Portumna and Beagh is JC, if Canning is fit to play Portumna should win but without Canning is will be a brutal dog fight on a wet soft day which suits the South Galway sloggers Beagh!" Two proud hurling clubs and both All Ireland Champions in their day, Beagh 7's , some great young talent coming through for both teams.

After a walloping from OranMaree in the 2018 intermediate final to then robbery from Kinvara in 2019, to then reach a third intermediate final in a row only to be pushed back almost 6 months with Covid to then winning it AND now promoted to senior A and what looks like a winnable match to put them in the last 8 of senior championship. outstanding

Kilnadeema letrim v Turloughmore.... Turloughmore
Gort v portuma...... Gort
Kilconieron v Pádraig Pearses...... Kilconieron
Loughrea V Clarinbridge..... Loughrea(definitely game of the weekend if both teams play to their potential)
Thomas's definitely will be in the final. Can't write off cappy either. I think they can go that step futher this year. Nearly caught Thomas's the last day. I do like the look of craughwell this year. Playing well and are a hard team to beat. They definitely are well capable of getting to a final too.
But still Thomas's are the favourites cappy are the dark horses and other two teams to qualify for the semis( thats if they don't meet in the quarter finals) Loughrea and craughwell.

Again P.Pearses who they play next would also be Relegation strugglers. As the saying goes "it's easy play well against bad teams" I fear they will get absolutely hammered by one of the top teams in the Quarter Finals because ever Club will be looking to draw Kilconerion out of the hat!

What nonsense, you can only play the teams youre drawn against.
There must be a lot of potential 'relegation strugglers' in your world.

Look at Kinvara going up and straight down not winning a game including 2 teams Kilconieron defeated this year!

Hard to call the two winners of Senior & Inter this year. A lot of teams of a similar level.
My predictions:
Senior Champs: St Thomas' Dark Horses: Tommy Larkins Relegated: Mullagh
Inter Champs: Eyrecourt Dark Horses: Killimor Relegated: Spideal
Always a different kettle of fish in KO stages but the form of the groups so far suggest there wont be much between a lot of sides in the KO's.
