The draw is subject to teams not meeting a team they played in the group stages. The Preliminary Quarter Finals will be played on the weekend of June 10th/11th. The Preliminary Quarter-Final winners will move on to the Tailteann Cup Quarter-Finals (weekend of June 17th/18th) where each of the Group Winners will have a Home Quarter Final against a Preliminary Quarter-Final winner. macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1098 - 02/06/2023 13:07:51 2483573 Link
Need Cavan to beat Offaly by 9 and Laois to beat London by 10 to grab second spot in the group. Laoisvillian (Laois) - Posts: 79 - 02/06/2023 15:04:01 2483607 Link

Why include New York in the q/ finals of the Tailteann Cup, excluding a third placed team? I would imagine that NY would lose a q/ final to their opponents. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1746 - 03/06/2023 11:57:20 2483692 Link
Good to see both McGurn, Corrigan and Cassidy back involved for tomorrow's test v Antrim. Athletic grounds is a great ground, hopefully both teams go for it and its an entertaining game as they try earn a home quarter final. We need to cut out the goals,Antrim racking them up all year including 3 in our comeback victory in Corrigan Park which they be seeking revenge for. Both teams going through but extra weeks break and avoiding potential away quarter final to Cavan, Down and Limerick be a bonus for the winner(have to beat these teams at some point to win it but prefer avoid those trips) GalloonBaffoon (Fermanagh) - Posts: 119 - 03/06/2023 13:40:07 2483710 Link
Tipperary with a win and points difference of -28 are likely to be the third placed team to be eliminated. I think it will take Longford beating Carlow by 22 points to save Tipperary. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 03/06/2023 16:35:21 2483743 Link
Late drama in Group 1. Laois scored a late equalising point to draw with London and scrape through in third. Cavan join Limerick and Meath in the quarter-finals. Down and Offaly will host preliminary quarter-finals. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 03/06/2023 16:45:52 2483745 Link
Great win for us v Fermanagh. We're definitely on the right path. Some really good footballers in Antrim who just need to be playing regularly at a decent level. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9706 - 04/06/2023 16:45:10 2483955 Link
Tailteann Cup preliminary quarter-finals Offaly v Wexford Fermanagh v Laois Down v Longford Carlow v New York Carlow did very well to earn a home game. The home teams will be favourites to get through. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 05/06/2023 08:52:33 2484118 Link

Contrast a home game v New York to an away game v Down. Onion Breath (Carlow) - Posts: 1412 - 05/06/2023 17:04:44 2484192 Link

It's a good example of how second place can make a big difference in the current format. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 06/06/2023 15:15:37 2484447 Link

Saturday 10 June Tailteann Cup preliminary quarter-finals Down v Longford Newry, 7pm - GAAGO Fermanagh v Laois, Brewster Park, 6pm Carlow v New York, Netwatch Cullen Park, 5pm - GAAGO Offaly v Wexford, Glenisk O'Connor Park, 4pm Knockout weekend in the Tailteann. No more safety nets. The home teams will be expected to go through on current form. Down 1-19 1-14 Longford the only league result. All others were in different divisions and New York don't enter the league. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 08/06/2023 19:58:23 2485021 Link
Replying To lor12: "Wicklow had a very poor showing in this compettion due to injuries and really cost them . I think another tiered compettion needs to be looked at due to the fact division 2 teams are in this cup it is a joke meath are division 2 should be in sam maguire in my view so should down and cavan . the gaa will have to come up with another compettion for teams that are struggling" I agree with you. Meath should be in Sam. But for perhaps different reasons. Also yes I do get what you are saying the winners most likely will come from one of Meath or cavan. Which I think defeats the whole purpose of this comp. Will either have a celebration like Westmeath? Can't see it. Both view it solely as a means to playing all ire next year regardless of league. So it takes the pressure off (I'm thinking particularly of cor here) who would be out on his ear if after next year we not in all ire comp , I 'd even have doubts if we fail to win it this year but I don't know will they get rid after 1 year. For cavan management it may be different. But both would be seen as div 2 teams. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 09/06/2023 08:29:07 2485061 Link

Meath are maybe the 14th/15th best team in the country, it's not that ridiculous they find themselves in the second tier. What's bad is that Meath or Cavan wouldn't actually need to perform well in the Tailteann and could see themselves in Sam again. I know they deserve that because they are division 2 but it is a messy system. Hopefully Antrim and Meath do meet RD. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4241 - 09/06/2023 11:58:02 2485099 Link

Every team has the opportunity at the start of the championship to make Sam. That's only right. I do think the upcoming games (preliminary quarter finals) in both competitions is a waste of time. Top 2 from each group (if it must be groups - I'd prefer straight knockout) is enough. I would like to see NY still accommodated so perhaps the worst 2nd place team in the TC (or Sam if NY were to ever make it) playing them in a 1-off prelim qtr is probably best. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 09/06/2023 12:23:31 2485101 Link

The loss to louth and the draw with limerick were unacceptable. But we are where we deserve to be, of that their is no doubt. Th one team I hope we don't draw is Antrim tbh. I think the players from what I'm reading have really taken to Andy (aswell as supporters) so I would fear more than anything that Antrim would die with their boots on if they drew Meath in semi's. Or even final. And I just couldn't see Meath beating them. Now I'd be hopeful of beating cavan but that's it. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 09/06/2023 12:33:41 2485108 Link
Offaly 2-14 Wexford 1-22, Glenisk O'Connor Park FT Great result for Wexford. They were in a tough group with Fermanagh and Antrim. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 10/06/2023 17:50:02 2485317 Link
Well done Leix. Finally put in a 70 minute performance. Should've qualified in second after being miles ahead in both London and Offaly games. The lads took a lot of stick after the London game, would've been easy to down tools, but responded really well today. Will be away again next weekend, won't be easy no matter who we get, but also we'll be tough to beat. I've always said there's not much difference in any of the teams from the bottom of Div 2 to the top of Div 4 on a given day so with a bit of momentum you just wouldn't know.....

Laois and Wexford winning away are the surprise results. Group winners: Cavan, Meath, Limerick and Antrim. Preliminary winners: Laois, Down, Carlow and Wexford. Cavan v Laois, Meath v Down, Limerick v Carlow and Antrim v Wexford cannot be quarter-final pairings. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 10/06/2023 20:42:25 2485357 Link
