Replying To southleitrim_mafia:  "Unfortunately I don't agree with you on them not having the quality of player to lock down B McN. Their midfielder Cathal Hynds is a very good midfielder and I can see him being tasked to lock Barry out. I don't believe he will get the room he did last week. He should still chip in with 2 or 3 points that being said.

Hopefully I am wrong and he scores another 12 points."
If he plays the entire game I'll be expecting at least 20

Like ourselves, Antrim are in too competitive a province to make an impact in championship so the league is their best chance of success, surprised they are going so poorly. Expect them to put up a challenge but if morale is poor then it may be a case of damage limitation and we will get the crucial win.
Expect us to beat Longford and Tipp then see where we are at vs Carlow and the permutations to get us promoted, assuming we don't slip up, if we do then it's game over. Be some achievement to go straight back up considering how meekly we went down last year but a new team needs time to gel

I would expect Leitrim to take Antrim and Tipp, but Longford could be a surprise packet. They haven't been going too well recently, but the last day out they put up 1-27 above in the Glens of Antrim. That's some scoring by any standards, especially away from home.

Id say it depends how their next game goes and if they've as ny chance of promotion, if they are out on the reckoning we will take them if we have our best men fit.
If we make it out, I ponder will the team give div 3 a rattle or mass dropoffs/ retirements like we did last year. If so then we will never actually progress.

Too early to talk about club championship? Just a month out from the start of the league and I expect all clubs have been out for a number of weeks.

How do we think teams will get on? Any team to suprise?
