Sligo and Clare won't be far off either. Clare enter the Tailteann for the first time. The top 7 Division 4 counties can be confident of making their mark. 15 counties have strong prospects for making the semi finals in Croke Park. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9716 - 06/05/2026 15:34:09 2671325 Link

Leitrim are surely favourites for this? Not many teams have the quality we have as we proved against Galway. Gantric (Leitrim) - Posts: 52 - 06/05/2026 16:05:31 2671336 Link

How many minutes coverage will the Tailteann Cup get on Sunday Game, il go with a whole 2.40 minutes with some awful background music, followed by some general comments from pundits who didn't see any of the games. While majority of show focuses on two finals that were already shown live earlier that day. Sound familiar?? macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1210 - 08/05/2026 16:36:02 2671671 Link

We ran the Dubs very close. In fact had the usually reliable Mark Jackson scored any of his 6 two pointer attempts we'd have not have lost that game. We were in the Semi Final last year, beat a good Westmeath side, and were 8 up in the Semi Final v Limerick in Croke Park before capitulating.

Both the live games and highlights. The only caveat should be that there should be a bi lingual element to the analysis in both productions. It would help anyway. The reality is that there are more than enough McCarthy and Maguire games to fill the rte schedule and the sunday game. Allow TG4 cover tailteann and Joe McDonagh games.
