Well the majority of us got it wrong on who'd be in the Intermediate final from the beginning of the championship including myself. I don't even think Owenmore Gaels would have earmarked an Intermediate final spot straight after winning the Junior championship but fair play to them. Eastern Harps have been shown up now in the last few games not to be the team many expected and I would say they will have serious concerns going into the replay especially without Henry as people mentioned and clearly Hunt is the man now for them to target. Geevagh while they might be slower than Harps are just too physical for some of their men and I'd be backing them to win the replay.

I actually read it wrong last night and thought Harps won by 3. All to play for next week so.

I think my prediction at the start was Harps, Coolaney, Geevagh and Owenmore Gaels to reach the knockout. Unfortunately I also said that no team from group 2 would make the final so I went for Harps v Coolaney . Intermediate will be Coolaneys standard for the next few years . A lot of their lads are getting old and they will be hard replaced. I think in their hey day they reached a Div 1 league final and a senior championship semi final.

St Mary's v Cloonacool - Sat 4:30pm in Bunninadden
Ballymote v St Michael's - Sun 12:00 in Tubber

time for 2nd semi-final isn't fixed, is the outcome of the DRP v Ballymote game still being disputed?
No referees appointed to either Junior semi. Coincidental or am I looking into it too much?

could well be. isn't 12:00 also the default time when a fixture hasn't been 100% confirmed?

There's still rumours that Drumcliffe aren't happy. I don't know if it's true or not.

Three Tailteann All Stars is good, probably as much as we could have hoped for. Congratulations to them . For Carrabine and Lyons it's their second one. Next year we need to win it but our participation will depend on the draw for the Connacht Championship which is coming up shortly.

Galway are going to the big apple and the Rossies to Ruislip. Sligo, Leitrim and Mayo are in a group. 2 out of the 3 play each other for a place in the semi final. The team that doesn't play is automatically in the semi final. I can't remember where we played Mayo or Leitrim last. Home and away agreement will decide the venue

You played Leitrim in Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada back in April so will be at home to them. Mayo you'll play in MacHale Park as Sligo was at home in the last meeting in 2021.

If we are automatically in the semi final it could be against Galway/NY or Ros/London it's not necessarily just Leitrim or Mayo. We're away to everyone I think bar Leitrim at this stage.
