Paddy Power currently offering 11/4 on St Mary's Cahirciveen to win the Intermediate football title which looks like really good value to me.

Key man is obviously Bryan Sheehan but they do have a lot of decent footballers for a club at intermediate level.
Paul O'Donoghue has been around the fringes of the Kerry squad the last while and there are at least 4 more on the team who have been involved with the Kerry Junior team at some stage. A couple of lads would have been involved with Colaiste Na Sceilge when they won the Colleges All-Ireland as well. The worry is an injury to Sheehan and the fact that there isn't a huge amount of squad depth. Also it's hard to get a good idea of what level their opposition will be like, but given Kerry teams' record in this competition over the years, I definitely think 11/4 represents decent value.

St Mary are 1/2 to win the Munster if you are feeling more risk averse.

Carrigaline sort of fancy their chances and I believe they are taking it serious.

Marys just beat Corofin 4-21 to one point today so I'd imagine their prices might be a cut a touch.

Thurles Sars are value, big price

For a bit of interest

Rockcorry 10/11
Templeport 8/13
Bundoran 8/13
Crossmaglen 4/6
Scotstown 1/3

About 11/1

Cuala to beat Clara today. The way they beat the Offaly champs was very impressive given their record in this competition. Clara are a solid team with good hurlers but I don't doubt that Cualas best players are better tha Claras, though Bolger looks like one fir the future.

Colm Cronin, Mark Schutte, the two Treacys, Cian O Callaghan all good to very good hurlers. It'd be time for a dublin team to win Leinster and I think this will be the year.

Actually did this bet but included Ratoath and instead of Templeport I had Nemo Rangers. 14/1 happy that I finally didn't get knocked by Trillick!

Hollymount Carramore won the Connaught Final yesterday so are a bit closer to winning this outright - they only have to win 2 more games whereas Marys still have 3 games to play as they still have the Munster final to play

3/1 still looks very generous to me on the basis of the quality throughout of the Marys team, especially given so many have represented Kerry at some level (senior/junior/minor/U21) or would have have played with Colaiste Na Sceilge - who won 1 All-Ireland colleges, lost one and won 4 or 5 Munster colleges in the last decade or so.

St Mary's will take some beating at 3/1 as will Templenoe in the All Ireland Junior. Anybody see that priced up anywhere?

wonga77

You will do well to find any meaningful odds on Templenoe, they are one of the strongest junior winners in a while in kerry imo, if they keep all their players together they will give the intermediate a good rattle next year

tipperaryman

Scottstown at 3/1 v Cross tomorrow, surely represents great value???

Paddypower online have Templenoe at 1/25 to beat Coolmeen on Sunday - and it's hard to argue with those odds in my opinion - maybe if you rang them they might give you a price on Templenoe to win the All-Ireland outright although I would say the odds would be pretty poor and the stake very restricted. Totally agree about them being serious contenders for the junior All-Ireland - have a ridiculously strong team of talent to be competing at that level. If they had trained with Kenmare and all the Templenoe players lined out, Kenmare District would have had a very decent chance of winning the county senior in Kerry this year imo.

Any thoughts on the various provincial pre - season comps that commence this weekend?

Roscommon 13/8 is a bit big , I know there now playing in castlebar I think they'll wanna set a marker under Mcstay ,Mayo were not impressive the last two weekends and will be missing a lot of decent players

My home club.
It'll be some game. Ratoath had 5 Meath senior players last year with another two added to the panel this year. They've several Meath Juniors and U21s as well. Also the ex Monaghan senior goalkeeper.
Think Marys probably should be slight favourites given that Ratoath have a very young side, but don't think there'll be much between them.

Should be a cracker of a game - would be a major upset if the All-Ireland winner doesn't come from this side of the draw I'd imagine - One thing of note is that Kerry teams have a very strong record overall at this competition compared to Meath teams. I've St Marys backed for overall winner from a bit back so I'm a bit biased.

Boom__Boom

St Mary's 2-20 Rathoath 1-5
Templenoe 1-9 Curraha 0-5

St Mary's roll over Rathoath - sounds like Rathoath never got going from what reports I've seen/what I saw on Twitter and it turned into a bit of a turkey-shoot. Curraha kept it a bit closer against Templenoe.

I'd say both will be close enough to unbackable in the finals. I can see Croke Park in particular suiting Templenoe a bit more than Kilmallock- they're a young fast team who will move the ball well in the open spaces and the firmer sod.
