Predictions for the IFL final this Saturday night between blayney and cremartin? Monaghan37 (Monaghan) - Posts: 54 - 18/10/2023 23:33:48 2509158 Link
Replying To MonGaa123: "Three games to go in Monaghan. Blackhill v Tyholland in the JFC. Scotstown v Inniskeen in the SFC. Carrick v Killanny in the IFC. I think they will be 3 tight and entertaining finals. What's everyone's opinions on the teams left and the predictions for the games." TYHOLLAND by 5. SCOTSTOWN by 8. CARRICK by 2.

Replying To Monaghan37: "Predictions for the IFL final this Saturday night between blayney and cremartin?" Very harsh on Cremartin to have to play this league final 6 days after losing a championship semi final to Carrick. Very hard game to call. I'd narrowly fancy Blayney HB245 (Monaghan) - Posts: 251 - 19/10/2023 10:24:04 2509177 Link
Replying To HB245: "Very harsh on Cremartin to have to play this league final 6 days after losing a championship semi final to Carrick. Very hard game to call. I'd narrowly fancy Blayney" I'm not so sure. The game could stand to them. I thought both Harps and Carrick looked a bit rusty in their games following a very long spell without competitive matches. Probably a middle ground though. Why not a double header with the championship final since there are 4 unique teams, all from south Monaghan?

I think it's a double header with the div 2 u17 final Edd,South(EU) (Monaghan) - Posts: 60 - 19/10/2023 21:48:10 2509326 Link
Is anyone here giving Scotstown a chance? Surprising since there was only a few points in it the first day after the county lads just arrived back. Since 2013 I think only Ballybay and Clontibret are the only teams to beat them in a championship game in 11 years and inniskeen this year, it's going to take an outrageous effort for Inniskeen to win in my opinion. If they do, they will earn it. veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 20/10/2023 08:08:49 2509343 Link
Replying To Monaghanlad: "And about the minor final??" Triple header? A festival of football. Kicking balls from dawn til dusk. GAA a GOGO. You know yourself. Bring sangwidches TearsIn85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 208 - 20/10/2023 09:57:08 2509360 Link

I'm fairly sure any double headers will and should be forgotten about with the current rain fall. I would imagine at this point the minor final before the senior final on Sunday is being questioned. Clones and any field will struggle at the minute with 1 game let alone 2. Is it possible minor final will be moved on Sunday? I know it would be unfair on the young lads but the senior final will suffer if 30 lads are cutting field up 1 hour before hand. stefon (Monaghan) - Posts: 17 - 20/10/2023 10:08:29 2509364 Link

He wished his dear Inniskean lads all the best on Sunday. Who are favourites? thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1879 - 20/10/2023 10:50:58 2509374 Link

Sangwidches would be a good shout and a packet of tayto crisps. Maybe a pint or two returning home also MonGaa123 (Monaghan) - Posts: 22 - 20/10/2023 11:59:51 2509405 Link

Scotstown are 2/5 to win.. no ifs or buts they'll win……with 8/9 county men anything less than a scotstown win will be a miserable failure… mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 569 - 20/10/2023 13:19:58 2509434 Link

Great win by Blackhill! Tough hardy team. Tyholland poor veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 745 - 21/10/2023 17:13:42 2509571 Link
Massive congrats to Blackhill. I was completely wrong about them, and how could you not be happy to see a club the size of Blackhill winning championships. To think they'd probably have been in Senior only for half a senior team's worth of players getting nabbed! A great wee club, and hoping they get a good run in the Ulster club. Poor final overall but some great warriors on both sides. There'll be no forward unit in Ulster looking forward to playing against that Blackhill back 6 that's for sure. Perhaps a year too soon for those young lads on the Tyholland team. HB245 (Monaghan) - Posts: 251 - 21/10/2023 17:23:41 2509573 Link
Truagh relegated, a disastrous fall for what was a young team in a county final not that long ago. Jjoniel79 (Monaghan) - Posts: 199 - 21/10/2023 18:05:42 2509576 Link
