Crossabeg v Gorey Going or Crossabeg on this one, I think they have better big game players Gusserane v Kilanerin Going on group form you would have to say Gusserane. Although Kilanerin did win their last game but I am not convinced they are back to where they were last year and if not then this one will got to Gusserane Castletown v Sarsfields Easy win here for Castletown. Sarsfields are in bonus territory here and I have a feeling Hurling will be taking the priority for some players. Shels v GB Cannot see anything but an end to GB involvement in the championship. They were embarrassed with last weakens result - will they come out fighting this Friday
Annes v Bunclody This will be a low scoring ugly game but think the Annes are more experienced at grinding out a result.

Id really like to see Gusserane win, and not just because they are from the District, in fact Id really really like them to win it out!!!!, and while I always usually like to see the Annes do well I'll be hoping Lloyd Colfer can pull one out of the bag with Bunclody. Shels and Castletown should win, still the top 2 and the teams to beat, and Crossabeg likely will too.
Crossabeg v Gorey Two very even teams, will say Crossabeg by 1 after ET.
Gusserane v Kilanerin Comfortable win for Gusserane, Kilanerin are not half the team they were last year. Gusserane by 7
Castletown v Sarsfields An equally comfortable win for Castletown, consistently a top 2 team for last number of years and Sars happy to be in quarters with nothing to lose. Castletown by 6
Shels v Glynn Barntown The most interesting of the quarter finals as it depends which Barntown team show up. If they turn up and perform like we know they can then barntown can give shels a real scare and maybe even catch them on the hop. If the barntown that turned up last week turn up this week then Shels will win by 12. I'll go Shels by 2 this time around
Annes v Bunclody Always difficult to predict this game, form often goes out the window. Probably safest to predict a very low scoring game and whoever gets that bit of luck will win by 1 or 2. I will go for Bunclody by 2.

LOL, never mind!
But what a game of football and what a comeback by Glynn Barntown.
When they took the shackles off with nothing to lose and just went at Shels with a really impressive running game and off the shoulder link up it was top class. Fair play to Glynn, winning like that and in that style was great to see.
