We are still missing 4 players, but it is better than I expected."</div>No sign of Gannon. That's not good. Need him badly but at this stage seems unlikely we'll see him."
Was always impressed with Lee Gannon when I saw him play. Wonder that's the situ there.

I was wary of Meath but I dont think Louth are as good as they made out to be .Dubs by 4 oe 5 points is my forecast.Paddypower has Louth favourites and not one Leinster team in top 8 contenders for All Ireland with the bookies.They even have Cork ahead of us.Id fancy Dubs every day against the Langers."
Have 50 treble on Louth, limerick and Kildare for weekend

Minor hurlers drew with Galway. Both into semis with Cats and not exactly certain who else!

Not fair on Westmeath at all. They beat Dublin by 7, and ended up with more points than Dublin and Kilkenny, but are out. Unfair system altogether.

Looking like an easy regaining of Leinster title for Dublin.

Very unfair and a stupid system to be honest. I'm not a fan of these cross play groups or Swiss model, whatever it's called. Teams are competing for spots against teams they're not even playing. Theoretically Westmeath, Galway and Wexford could have won all of their games and one of them would be going out regardless.

I hope so, but wouldn't be getting ahead of things.
Dubs aren't what they were, so I'd fully expect it to be a competitive hard won Leinster title in 2026, regardless of who wins it. Fair play to Dublin today, that was a big win.
