Replying To rossytilidie:  "Senior - On paper these all look one sided enough games, I think they will all be competitive barring the shels and the Annes
Castletown v Starlights - Hard to look past the north county men, not as easily as expected thought. Castletown by 3, although this Starlights team has lots of quality if they can click.
Bunclody v Kilanerin - This will be tight I think, preference to Kilanerin just about, could be seeing these teams again midweek as I think will be very tight. Draw after 90mins, and maybe a Kilanerin win in extra time.
Annes v Shels - Shels comfortably, As gritty and dogged as the Annes are, this looks very tough. Shels favs to win it, and Annes prob thankful they are not in a relegation battle
Barntown - Gusserane - Gusserane by 4-5, don't think Barntown are up to as much as other do. I'd have Gusserane and Kilanerin playing next best to the obvious two

Inter - I wouldn't be surprised if all the below predictions are incorrect, it's a minefield!
Maudlintown v Cushinstown - Maudlintown being a bit fresher I'll go with them, it's been a long season for Cushinstown, Maudlintown by 2
Martins v Horeswood - Don't know what has happened Horeswood, they def wouldn't have been considered as 4th place in their group at the start of the year. This Martins team are there for the taking I feel, I'm going to go with an upset, and Horsewood to win by 2
Gorey v Ballyhogue - Gorey should be good enough here, just about again though. Gorey by 3
Taghmon v Adamstown - Adamstown could go close to winning this grade if they can get over there local rivals here. Adamstown to pip it by 1

Inter A - Plucking at straws here, but I'll give it a go
Duffry v Monageer - Duffry to cause an "upset" - Finishing 4th in a group can do wonders for teams sometimes
Kilmore v Barntown - Kilmore will be close to winning the grade so I'll side with them, by 5-6
Rosslare v Vols - Rosslare beat Kilmore last week, but imo got a tougher draw in the q final. This will be tight, but Rosslare should have a few points to spare
Pats v Craanford - Another local derby, I think Craanford are a bit further along in their journey than Pats are"
Senior QF expect comfortable wins for Shels, Castletown & Kilanerin, Gusserane/Glynn is very hard to call, I think Gavin Sheehan's absence might sway it Glynn's way.

Intermediate- Think Martins will be to strong for Horeswood, Gorey/ Ballyhogue hard to call, 2 inconsistent teams think Gorey have a higher ceiling so will go with them, Adamstown/ Taghmon should be tight, I'll go with Taghmon to defy group stage form against there neighbours, Maudlintown/ Cushinstown another hard to call, I'll go with a draw, ET and Maudlintown to win a midweek replay.

Intermediate A- I'll go with wins for Rosslare and Kilmore and tight wins for Monageer and St Patricks.

Replying To TerribleFootwork:  "Good chance there will be venue changes maybe even games back to Sunday but reckon everything will be played."
Seen this has actually happened and the player everyone was chatting about was reading the comments here based on a recent tweet.

:)

So he was. The comment here that he was referring to was one of mine.

In fairness to him, am fairly sure his own club is one of those that voted for alternate weeks or blocks, so not much more they can do. No point in voting for football to go first in its entirety, because that'd never get a majority, and voting that way would only split the vote from those opposed to all the hurling going first.

But remains the case that even with alternate weeks or blocks of two weeks this year, and with football going first on the grounds that the football finals have to be finished first, then last weekend would have been a football weekend anyway.

Am sure he read that earlier comment too, and he might even be reading this one again now as well! :)

half way in 2th hafe although they were still 3 down i though glynn were going to win that, gusserane had not scored for 25/30 min but once they did get a point glynn just fell away, they have a couple of fine young players but still lean a lot on lacey and he cant last the 60 min

Gusseranes win should send a warning shot to all the other teams - anyone at the game?

Was in Pats Park last night, pitch looked in good nick maybe the county board should invest in facilities their instead. GB very disappointing, Gusserane had a purple patch for about 5 mins in the first half got two goals and that was enough. Barntown dropped about 5 balls short in the first half going for scores. Adrian Flynns and Gavin Sheehan very good Rossiter was well held but got a few crucial scores at the end. GB were too lateral and never even tried kicking one ball in to the full forward line when they were chasing the game.

The big 3 into the semi finals now and I think it's will be Shels Castletown final. No huge shocks in intermediate Horeswood up by a point with 5 to go and lost by 3. Adamstown still going very well, Gorey racking up a big score think they will meet St Martins In what would be a good final. Cushinstown had a good win seemed to be in control of the game but only won by 2 in the end.

All the quarter finals went pretty much to form over the weekend.

Hard to see past Shelmaliers this year. Great to see high scores being posted. Intermediate a little harder to call. Naomh Éanna - Martin's final I'd say.
