Another champ weekend and it will start to shape up challengers and the relegation.

Intermediate will go for the below

Curry vs Castleconnor - Curry to shade it by 2 points
Calry vs Bunnies - Calry by 6/7
Enniscrone vs Farnans - Farnans by 5
Geevagh vs Cloonacool - Geevagh by 12

Enniscrone and Farnans to Curry is a daft venue same with Scarden for Geevagh and Cloonacool. Should be no champ matches in Scarden at all.

Unfortunately couldn't make it to any games so had to rely on Ocean Fm commentary but a few observations now that every team has played at least once.

Senior:
Marys, Molaise and Shamrock Gaels will not be content with their weekend results once again against opposition who would be considered relegation contenders, but that's not taking from that oppositions performance and will give them all great heart to keep out of trouble at bottom of table. Molaise will be the happier given they demolished Easkey the week before but this weekend against Drumcliffe will be the big test for them as Drumcliffe are flying it and didn't use Lally I see. Alarm bells will be going off in Riverstown and surrounds with only 2 points out of four gained and very lucky it's not 0.

Intermediate:
As expected Curry are above the rest getting the jobs done but fair play to Bunninadden who probably will end up topping their group now given who they have left. A great achievement under Rooney in year one for a very small club. Calry I thought would beat all in that group and probably will win their remaining 3. On the other side Cloonacool look to be heading for 5th place but it'll be a tight squeeze to see who'll join Curry in knockout stages. I'd fancy Castleconnor but a toss up between Ballymote and Geevagh for the other spot.

Junior:
Nothing major to report there, will be a case of who gets to play Owenmore in the final.

It is a pity they didn't drop the relegation semi finals when they decided to introduce QFs as there's no major push to try and get to 4th. For the likes of Easkey and Cloonacool they're effectively occupying time before a relegation SF as it's unlikely they'll pick up two wins whereas one could have kept them safe to get 4th.

In the senior championship it looks like Easkey are a long way off the pace but all of the other teams are competing well. Coolaney put up a good performance last week but it's difficult to see where they will pick up points bar the Easkey game.
The other group is a humdinger.
Gaels plundered a point they didn't deserve.
I expect Mary's to beat them this weekend leaving their championship in a precarious position. Gaels are not helped by playing 4 games on the trot. Lyons is struggling as he is not match fit and no sign of Deignan to return. Mary's are just doing enough to get by. They are finishing games very strong and I think they have a lot more on the tank. Harp's really need to beat Tubber to keep their interest alive in making the knockout phase.
All in all there have been some good games and hopefully the best has yet to come

This weekend will see many teams know if they can plan for a possible QF or sit back and wait for the Relegation.

Senior:
E.Harps v Tubbercurry...Harps by 4
St Molaise v Drumcliffe/RP....Drumcliffe by 3
St Marys v Shamrock Gaels....Shamrock Gaels by 1
Coolera v C/Mullinabreena...Coolera by 4

Intermediate:
Cloonacool v Curry....Curry by 12
St Pats v Calry...Calry by 6
Ballymote v Geevagh...Ballymote by 2
Bunninadden v St Farnan's....Bunninadden by 3

Junior:
St Michaels v Coolera....St Michaels by 2
Shamrock Gaels v Drumcliffe/RP....Gaels by 2
St Molaise Gaels v E.Harps...Molaise by 4
St Marys v Tourlestrane....Tour by 1

Molaise V DRP and Marys v Shamrock Gaels the pick of the ties in Senior...a pity they're on the same evening with no chance of getting to both. Intermediate Ballymote v Geevagh probably the biggest tie of the weekend as the loser of may have to rely on results out of their control to get back into QF contention as Castleconnor and themselves battle it out for the two spots after Curry.

Round 3 Predictions

Senior
Harps by 5 over Tubber
St Mary's Shamrock Gaels Draw
DRP by 3 over St Molaise
Coolera by 9 over Coolaney

Intermediate
Curry by 14 over Cloonacool
Ballymote by 4 over Geevagh
Calry by 10 over St Pat's
Bunninadden by 5 over St Farnan's

Easkey looking destined for a fight for survival seem to be a team way off the pace. While the likes of Mulinabreena and Tubbercurry are putting it up to the bigger teams. Hard to really call a winner in the senior championship its wide open this year if DRP can get the win against Molaise this weekend they have claimed top spot in the group.

While in intermediate it looks like St Pat's or Cloonacool will be the two teams looking to stay up in intermediate. Curry seem the team to beat will top the group not sure who can stop them going straight back up on the first attempt. As the other group seems weaker than the one they are in.
