Replying To Claretandblue:  "Both Mullingar sides making the knockouts is a major doubt. The Downs will surely beat Caulry and Garrycastle which will give them six points and any kind of result against Shamrocks gives them seven, six will prob be enough to qualify, Loman's and Shamrocks will need a result against Coralstown Kinnegad who are arguably the championship favourites based on displays so far, by all reports they were better side against The Downs, score difference could be crucial with so many draws. What's happened to Multy? Two double digit beatings so far and they haven't faced Shandonagh yet, they're almost already relegated unless they beat Milltownpass."

Replying To PowellJohn3:  "went to a few of the games this weekend, first game was Garrycastle and Caulry which was a poor enough showing both teams lacking a punch, Sean brennan, Mark mccalon and Nugent the standouts for Garrycastle and Doyle for caulry was a bright spark. Garrycastle maybe fortunite to win but still got the job done. Garrycastle need james dolan back fit if going to get through.
MTP vs Maclachys was the game of the weekend, end to end Malchys down by 12/13 at one stage, Morgan gavigan was very good. MTP looked slick and deadly at times and carved malachys down the middle, where Malachys ground out scores maybe the draw was a fair result.
Tubberclare vs Tyrellspass was very one sided, the pace was the real difference this could have been more than 17 points victory, there was another 3-4 goal chances that hyland saved who scored 6 points himself for frees. they were on top all over the field and 4 big men across the middle 3rd, also spotted Matthew Whitaker doing the warm up so cant be fair away and Tighe heavily strapped and didnt feature, these 2 will surely come back in and give them even more speed and experience. Tyrellspass were down Gonoud and glennen which made a huge difference as depth maybe isnt there anymore like it used to.
Lomans Shamrocks- again second time seeing lomans and they havent blown me away on paper they look scary, a few times it looks like there about to spark but in general they should have seen it out earlier. Shamrocks youth have given them more legs i dont think they will be fair away but not sure if they have enough to win it either. Only 3 going through out of top group i feel was a huge mistake, even intermiediate when u see the top 4 theres only a kick of a ball in it as we seen 2 draws with the top 4 in both grades."

Replying To dec:  "I dont buy into the CK hype, people had them as champions after the first round, The Downs with all their players back will win the championship, Shamrocks will beat Garrycastle and Kinnegad and Lomans will beat Caulry ,Garrycastle and Kinnegad. 7 points for both will be enough The Downs will finish on 8 points. Multy would be better heading for the B section, if the rules remains the same for next season they will have an easier route to the knockout stage.."

Replying To dec:  "Fair play to Shamrocks for the fight back last night and probably should have won it at the end, a good young side they will be a force over the next few years. They played well in patches, overall i thought it was a poor enough match, Shamrocks were very slow in their buildup, they got turned over a lot of times, Ormsby was good at times at midfield but got turned over to often he needs to keep a hold of that ball, Lomans won more breaking ball, how Shamrocks left Efe on Heslin all match is hard to understand as Heslin was cleaning up. Buckley shoul dbe our new county goalkeeper, a strong keeper who is able to kick 2 pointers, unlucky to see the 45 go wide at the end. Mikey Weir was good for Lomans, Both sides will make the knockouts..."

Replying To Ayardout:  "Downs winning definitely not a foregone conclusion, CK looked far the better side missed an awful lot. The downs missing O sullivan and lynam big loss but they will find it hard to get the big 3 up to championship pace after 3 tough injuries. Top 4 teams fairly even but i CK and a full downs will be 50 50 later in year"

Replying To DelaneyCup2026:  "Surely we are all mature enough to know after two rounds no team is a foregone conclusion to win a championship, Loman's and The Downs have looked in trouble in previous years but end up there when it matters. I think bar Caulry and Garrycastle any of those teams could reach a final with the right draw which is possible under the new format.

On Multy, I'm not sure how people are surprised they struggle. What evidence is there to suggest they'd get to the knockout stages ahead of the other four teams who I feel are well ahead of them.

Senior section B is very tight and any team could still come out although Tang with two losses are certainly under pressure to beat Moate or you'd imagine they're out."
