Replying To B&G:  "Clonguish were beaten finalists last year. They are coming into form at the right time.
Seems that they timed it in the group of death."
Know they're beaten finalists last year, not surprised they won just the margin.

Clonguish finally kicked into gear. Clonguish are the only team capable of competing with Killoe when they hit top form. Decent chance that both those teams could end up playing in the quarter final now. Clonguish still have to do the business against Abbey next weekend which is no guarantee though. Dromard looked like a team on their last legs last night, you'd have to fancy slashers to knock them out now.

Probably correct. Good win slashers albeit mullinalaghta were poor but good attiude with players they are missing if they have some back they should qualify for qf and would be threat

Clonguish probably main threat but kiloes to lose probably

Carrickedmond can't be wrote off in that game with Mullinaghta, great credit to them they have only lost 1 game which was the 1st one against Dromard and will be kicking themselves now as could have and should have bet both Abbey and Slashers. Clonguish will put a big score on Abbeylara with their form back at its best yesterday, 2 flynn brothers stood out and Carey on frees hard to see them looking back now.
I think edworthstown could sneak in to last spot in their group plus colmcille to be in last 4, nobody is mentioning them and they still have top quality in the group.

Who would qualify if carrickedmond and mull draw and get to 5 points and clonguish win and are on 5 too? This is presuming slashers win and are on 6 and abbey are already on 6. Mull and Carrick have already beaten Clonguish.

I'm sure there's absolutely no possibility for litigation if the "wrong" team were to end up in the relegation play-off spot, but I still think it's an unlikely situation to begin with.

Who would you consider to be the "wrong" team?

Cool the jets a little, lads.

If there's any ambiguity in a situation like that, then there will be plenty of would-be lawyers trying to challenge it (and you could have a four-way tie on five points if the Slashers-Dromard match ends in a draw or in a win for Dromard). Cloonbonny rabbits need not be concerned given that Rathcline have their fate entirely in their own hands (or should that be paws).

Clonguish back in the groove. It's going to be a battle between them and Abbey at the weekend. Abbey will want that top spot and it's a knockout game for Clonguish. When the Duggan-Carey combination and the Flynn brothers all kick into action it's a force of nature - very difficult to handle that firepower.

Round 5 Predictions:
Kenagh v Killoe = Killoe
Mullinalaghta v Carrickedmond = Carrickedmond
Dromard v Slashers = Draw
Abbey v Clonguish = Clonguish
Rathcline v Colmcille = Colmcille
Mostrim v Granard = Granard

In 2015 Killoe were the 8th and last team to qualify for the knockout stages having lost 2 of their 3 group games and only got through via a playoff with Ballymahon for the last spot - Went on to win the title! Looking strong this year but that Clonguish train has just roared back to life, so lots of twists and turns left in this championship IMO!

Group B must have set a record for number of draws in a single championship!

Basically, any of the 5 teams can still go through or gey knocked out. So all 5 teams have to go for the win on Saturday or risk being eliminated.

Longford Slashers, Mullinalaghta and Carrickedmond all have it in their own hands. Should any of them win they are safely through. Clonguish and dromard can go through with wins so long as other results don't go against them. Granard and Mostrim is affectively a preliminary quarter final and should be fairly frantic too with it being a knockout game. I can't see Abbey not doing anything except going all out to win on Saturday against Clonguish they will still want top spot in the group. Slashers will find it very tight against Dromard who are way better than they showed against Clonguish and Carrick have been pulling out surprises all year so plenty to play for. Killoe are still well ahead of the pack, they'll be fresh for a quarter final.

Yes, I think both Carrickedmond and Mullinalaghta will be going for the win which is why I said I thought it an unlikely situation to begin with.

At that point we can return to normal service on here with the Killoe and Clonguish supporters each talking up their rivals.
