Replying To Sligoman1234: "So the quarter final experiment didn't really work out bar generating a bit of revenue, we end up with the top two teams in both champions still in the semi finals.
Marys put their best performance together when it mattered and Coolera bar a period in the second half looked flat enough. To be honest when you think back on it they only managed to win one game out of four in the group stage so did they really deserve to be in a semi final at that stage? They couldn't claim any of their goal chances and then down the other end Marys were denied by some good Coolera defending. It was an enjoyable game probably one of the best in the championship so far. In the second QF well are Molaise a serious contender or is it a case of Tourlestrane being out of their depth in the knockout stage? This one I watched on the stream and the game was over after 10 minutes. Hard to place where they are as the two goals Tour got will worry the Molaise defence or perhaps it was switching off in a game they were home and hosed.
In Intermediate no surprise in Ballymote game but Farnans must have had no plan to keep Lavins marked judging by the scorers list. A tight affair in the other one as anticipated with Calry getting the win but think Ballymote will have too much for them.
On a positive note, the county board must be watching the forum because what a change in a week. Fixtures up with venues on nearly all of them by Sunday night…including Markievicz Park. Hopefully they don't undo it by using a West Sligo venue for the two games currently without one." Yes I'd agree. Enough games for clubs in the group and the added week for teams not involved makes the quarter final is completely pointless. The CCC seem unfit for purpose.
Credit to Molaise Gaels who were much too strong for Tourlestrane. Interesting last 4 in prospect.

St Marys outplayed coolera throughout yesterdays game. Not the most exciting game, but St Marys were in control and cleaned up at midfield. Coolera only got into the game in the last 10 minutes. They had chances but didnt take them, st Marys defence marshalled murphy o mahony and fola. Cormac murphy was very good for coolera. Scott lynch saved the day for st Marys with a fabulous goal line and conor davey tapped over a two pointer to keep st Marys in front. Impressive scoreline from St Maloise.i think st marys v shamrock gaels in the final. On form tubber for relegation.
Calry and ballymote won as expected in intermediate. I will stick with calry, as they have great footballers and all are back to full fitness once again. Ballymote seem to be a different team in recent weeks, and will give calry alot of problems. I think curry should beat the bunnies, but will be very tight. Looks like cloonacool will be relegated.
In junior st michaels v owenmore gaels should both reach the final, both should win easily. Busy fixtures list next weekend hopefully plenty of good games ahead.

I picked Marys to win outright this year but now i don't think think they will beat DRP. Will be interesting to see if the break was an advantage for DRP. Molaises form has been poor this year but they got everything right yesterday and looked strong all over the feild, if they do the same in the semi final they have a great chance of a final, SG have had a long break, this might be to Molaise advantage. With Kelly and Kennedy out for the game yesterday Tourlestrane were too depleted and could not plug all the holes been exposed by Molaise. A betting man i think would see it as a DRP v SG final. No real shocks in intermediate or relagation.

Predictions for this weekend.
Senior:
Shamrock Gaels v St Molaise Gaels....Shamrock Gaels by 2....very hard to read where Molaise are at but I think they probably have improved since the DRP game. Sitting without a game for a month could be damaging for the holders but I'll give them the nod ever so slightly.
St Mary's v Drumcliffe/RP....Drumcliffe by 3...They really are the in form team at the moment and while Mary's put their best performance in against Coolera I just think Drumcliffe are too well set up for them. Again hard to see how the 4 week break will affect them. This will be the game of the weekend I think.
Intermediate:
Ballymote v Calry....Ballymote by 4...the bigger pitch of Collooney will suit Ballymote's younger pace in the likes of the Lavins.
Bunninadden v Curry....Curry by 3....not much reward for topping the group having to play each other but this will be a good game I think with plenty of big men in the middle of the field for both. However I can't see how the bunnies will keep all of Curry lads like Reilly, Marren, Gallagher quiet.
Junior:
Owenmore Gaels v St Johns.....Owenmore by 7
St Michaels v St Molaise....St Michaels by 3
Relegations:
Senior:
Easkey v Tubbercurry...Easkey by 3.
Eastern Harps v C/Mullinabreena....Harps by 4
Intermediate:
Cloonacool v Enniscrone...Draw and a replay.
Junior:
DRP v Shamrock Gaels....Shamrock Gaels by 2.

DRP v Shamrock Gaels....Shamrock Gaels by 2." For the most part agree with those predictions but I'd see a 1 point swing between Marys and DRP, a few more points between Curry and Bunnies, Tubber to scrape past Easkey and Enniscrone to just about edge past Cloonacool who seem an easy target now after their early league exploits.
For some of these teams league form has counted for little when it comes to the business end of the year.
