Rathvilly look to be the team to beat, Eire Óg and Pal then probably joint as second. Would give an outside chance to bagnelstown but unlikely.

Very little between EO, Pal and Rathvilly for me. I don't trust Rathvilly to see out tight games though and they'll probably have to do that twice to be champions. Next week will be interesting between Pal and YIs. Winners make the semis. All 3 will still make the semi anyway but none will want a quarter final. Agree re Bagenalstown. They'll be the 4th semi finalist I'd say, especially if they get a handy enough quarter which they will if they beat OL next week which would probably leave OL the champions facing a relegation play off! If OL beat the town the same 2 would probably meet again in the quarters. Bagenalstown are very capable but they play a bit in fits and starts. They will need absolutely everybody fully fit but if they are all fully fit they are capable of beating any of the other 3 semi finalists. Hard to see them winning against 2 of the top 3 though which they would have to do to win it. I'd love to see it happen, it would be great for football in the county to see new first time senior champions. For a town its size there's a potential sleeping giant there and same for tullow it would be great if St Pats could win intermediate but Tinryland look to have too much for all in that grade despite a slip up at the start. Junior is very interesting. Blues v Asca will be worth seeing next week. Both rely a lot of their midfield pairings - both very strong. I think the winners of this game will end up winning it out. Sneaky feeling for Asca, I think there's more in them than the Blues especially the two midfielders should have more legs than the Blues. Can't rule out Myshall or Leighlin yet though.
