Roll on the club football for me this weekend especially in junior. With a local derby of the in form team who are going to "win it all" the sarsfields where they take on the out of form bog in aghabog this Friday. Rumours of killeevan having Rory Gallagher doing video work for them it sure seems to be paying off. My own club with yet another bad result last week out against blackhill. May struggle this weekend also to another out of form side. Any predictions for senior and intermediate folks?

Well done to Tom Doherty on picking up an u20 all star, hard to look past Drumhowan now with him in form. Could he be an option off the bench on Sunday ??

Junior championship will be interesting. Expect Seans to have a big say in it when they are giving their players a good rest during the league. Currin will be thereabouts and id expect Killeevan to fall away at the semi stage. Scotstown junior project has ran its course now looking at the playing calibre this year.

Put Matthew Carolan in beside him on the bench. If Maguire can star for Louth then his clubmate can surely do a job for Muineachan

Who do you drop for him is the question? He showed very well against Mayo in his brief cameo.

Whos the match ups this weekend ??
O toole - Mulroy
Byrne - Downey
Wylie- Burns

Paul Matthews at 10 is a good 2 point shooter then Conor grimes gets through a serious amount of work. Their midfield very inexperienced two 21 year olds we should hope to get on top there. Ces or Stephan pick up lennon. And would be hopeful that a few of our fowards can expose some of their defenders

I wouldn't like to single any one player out as they have all played their part in building momentum to this point in the season.
But for example if Gallagher were injured then Carolan could be a useful addition as a half forward option, even as part of the extended panel. It's more about having a range of player types than replacing any individual. Some bit of extra ball winning height is needed in the panel.
The cost of Gary Mohan not being a part of the setup increases as the stakes get higher.
