Clonkill were ruthless against Daltons. Peaking at the right time too. Mitchell due back next week.
I feel they will account for Raharney with ease to set up semi final v lough Lene Gaels.

Don't know who's over clonkill this year but his interview with radio 3 was very disrespectful to Fr Daltons... Saying he was disappointed with performance when scoring that amount...... Strange interview to say the least

Very heavy defeat for Fr Daltons today but one player I've been very impressed with in all the games for them has been Jack Kearney. Good first touch, excellent passing, great strike and very clever with his usage of the ball. He should be on Joe Fortunes radar.

Some serious competitive games left in the Senior B. All to play for really in the relegation battle, a three-way of epic proportions. Anyone could face the drop. Will it be the fancied Delvin team whose stars are no longer shining brightly? Will it be Brownstown,the Archerstown outfit, whose boys have been missing the target? Will it be Cullion?

Many of them had lofty aspirations of returning to the Senior A, and now find those ambitions sputtering and flacid. They now could limp their way back into the Intermediate shark tank. I for one am salivating at the prospects and permutations in the final round of the Senior B champ.

Hard to think Clonkill will beat Raharney based on today's performances, Clonkill still look unsure of their best team, Raharney were fantastic in parts, blew the Gaels away, serious blow to the Gaels who are depending on Raharney beating Clonkill as their score difference suffered today.

Clonkill to dispose of Raharney,
Castletown to beat LLG
Pollard to beat daltons

That means Castletown straight to final, Raharney clonkill semi, daltons relegated

No idea how any poster who was in Cusack today can fancy Clonkill to beat Raharney. Clonkill did annihilate Dalton's and have improved but still look like they have the wrong mix of veterans like Andrew Mitchell, Brendan Murtagh, Mark Keegan, Alan McGrath and Paddy Dowdall alongside young players like Andrew Shaw, Oisin Loughlin and Rian Holding. It's hard to win championships with that age mix, not enough lads in mid to late 20s, Jordy Smyth got injured today as is Niall Dowdall and their bench options look inexperienced, Josh Murtagh barely back from injury, a lot depends on Niall Mitchell returning match sharp, Raharney totally dominated the Collinstown men, full strength team with two superb Grevilles back and Jamie Mulkerrins, Ciaran Doyle was quality and Eamon Cunneen, Joseph Boyle, Cillian Doyle and Cormac Boyle excellent too. Raharney have big incentive as a win puts them in final while defeat means almost certainly facing Clonkill again in semi presuming Castletown beat the Gaels.

Fr. Daltons played in the Westmeath SHC yesterday. Just wondering where are they based?

Great work done in this area at underage level by a few dedicated people, it's tough for their senior side with up to five football clubs involved in various championships and likes Of Tang, Milltown, Ballymore have strong interest left in championships and fatigue definitely setting in as seen yesterday. They unlikely to beat Castlepollard twice to stay senior but have done well in most games.

It would be not far short of miraculous if Clonkill manage to win the championship with their current panel of players. Three men in their forties, 4-5 younger players barely out of their teens, key forwards injured as mentioned earlier, defenders playing in the forwards, that's regardless of Mitchell playing or not, they have to beat Raharney twice and then probably Castletown to win title, that's extremely unlikely based on performances thus far. The age profile of both Castletown and Raharney is ideal for winning championships, Devin Hill, Brian McHugh and Rory Keyes didn't start for Raharney yesterday, David Lynch, Peter Murphy and Joe Clarke were Castletown subs on Saturday.

castlepollard biggest problem is their supporters bet a weakend castletown geoghean side in the league final and also weakend Raharney side in first round of the league and were talking about county finals with 4 games remaining seems like same thing with them every year win one big game and on about winning championships never live up to it when matters
