I'd have a feeling if Graham doesn't take it then they will approach Davis I actually think he lives in Gortletteragh. I don't no much about him but he did well with Mohill and Longford. It's all about the group of coaches you put together nowadays. Look at the top teams Geezer with Armagh added Star and Connleth Gilligan to get them across the line. The same with Joyce he added Cian O'Neill. The best managers in the country now piggybacked by the coaches they bring in.

Many heading to croker on Sunday? It would be some achievement if the girls can win and get promoted to senior. A good few important players stepped away this year too which just makes it even more remarkable how well Johnny Garrity and this group have done.

Really hope they get across the line it would be no more than the likes of Guckian, Tyrell and Owens (among others) deserve after the years of dedication they've put in.

Bound to be a good crowd, bank holiday might not have suited everyone as some might have made plans before the girls made the final but am sure plenty will follow on tv and online around the world. Not every year a Leitrim team gets to an AI final

My success rate at predicting games this year is around 40%. But I'm sure I'll get them all right this weekend.

Aughawillian v Annaduff
Bookies have Aughawillian as strong 1/6 favourites. I'm not certain how they figured that one out. This game will be close, but Aughawillian's experience and home advantage may be crucial.
Aughawillian by 3

Fenagh v St Mary's
Mary's smothered SOH to death in the league final. They'll probably try the same tactics again. Fenagh is a great attacking team, though. Tough one to call, but defence usually wins games.
Mary's by 3.

Gortletteragh v Manor
Both teams have some excellent young players.
It's a huge game for both teams who will be hoping to avoid relegation.
Manor are a year or two ahead in their rebuild and may sneak it.
Manor by 2

Leitrim Gaels v SOH
Leitrim Gaels, like many clubs, is badly affected by emigration. SOH will probably play a more open style this weekend and should have too much for Leitrim.
SOH by 8

Dromahair v Mohill
Not the draw Dromahair was looking for. Dromahair will stack their defence and restrict Mohill. But Mohill should win comfortably.
Mohill by 12.

Drumreilly v Kiltubrid
With 3 teams being relegated in Intermediate, this is an important game for both teams. Kiltubrid should shade it.
Kiltubrid by 2.

Mary's B v Allen Gaels
After a tough venture into Div 1, Allen Gaels will be happy with this draw. It is difficult to know what Mary's will be like, but anything but a win for Allen Gaels would be a disaster.
Allen Gaels by 9.

Aughavas v Melvin Gaels
Aughavas flew through Div 3. Melvin Gaels needed a bit of luck but eventually won promotion to Div 1. I expect both teams to be at the business end of the championship.
Home advantage might just swing it for Aughavas.
Aughavas by 1.

Predicting a winner is usually an easy affair. Pick a team, and if you're wrong your wrong. No one is upset.
Predicting who gets relegated this year would be harsh.
So here's my attempt at predicting the finals;
Interested to see what other people think!

Senior
Mary's edge Fenagh after penalties.

Intermediate
Melvin Gaels edge Drumkeeran

Junior
Cloone to bet Bornacoola

Would it make sense to have the inter-county manager in place, so he could watch the club championship?

Looking less likely it will be Mickey Graham anyway would have been tied up by now if it was.

It would make sense but we will do well to have one in place by September if we are lucky, so they will only see the knockout games

Very lucky that Andy left Gym programs for the lads to complete throughout the summer months so at least in that aspect they won't have fallen apart. I heard at the Fenagh v Mary's game yesterday evening that Pauric Davies is lined up if Graham doesn't take it.

I'd be happy enough with Pauric Davies. As I said he is an upgrade on Andy imo. All about the backroom teams these days!!

Agreed. Micky Hartes of this world will not be interested in managing us unless we take out a mortgage.
