I agree they're overpriced alright but I still think Maghery will edge them. Beating Cross doesn't mean as much these days as Armagh Harps, Pearse Og, Cullyhanna x2 and Maghery will tell you. Maghery have an outside manager and he is no mug either, won an intermediate championship/league double with his own club two years back as well. Bonus territory for both teams, I just think Maghery will be that bit fresher and have the fitness and a strong bench to squeeze past

Yep both teams definitely in bonus territory. Would Maghery have many players with inter county experience? Outside of the Forkers and James Lavery.

Mullinalaghta (Longford) v Stradbally (Laois)

Thoughts on this?

Both won their first championships in awhile, Mull had a good win last friday in quarters of league. Think they are a good price for this at 5/4

Hard one to gauge. The Little Town v. The Little Village. Certainly a novel provincial club pairing! The midfield battle will be crucial: Colm Begley v John Keegan. Both players have been away from home in recent years and back this year to lead their clubs to glory. I'd side with Strad.

Laverys brother David I think had a stint and also played county u21, Kevin Nugent won AI minor with Armagh

Very tight game, hard to say it was Ballymun's only for the sending off. Vincents quality forwards won it in the end.

Anything worth backing in the Judes Castleknock game later?

A lot of people backing Cargin given how hard Tyrone teams tend to find it coming out of a difficult championship and also the John Brennan factor with Cargin. Killyclogher did well getting to two consecutive finals having been shocked by Trillick last year and given they near **** the nest in the drawn final v Coalisland it remains to be seen what they have left in the tank.

Dunno why Clonmore were favourites to begin with, Junior football in Armagh isn't very strong and given it took a replay for Clonmore to see off a IIs team I'd have thought Blackhill (being from Monaghan) would have been firm favs anyway. It's probably Rock's to lose anyway, they've won it before iirc.

Glenswilly at 5/2 looks sneaky enough, Kilcoo probably a bit more experienced at this stage but i hear Glenswilly are quite physical and they may cause another shock here following on from their Donegal win.

Kinawley at 7/4 might be worth a look at, Fermanagh teams at intermediate are stronger than people think, though Aghagallon have experience at this level having won the Antrim intermediate a few years back.

Goodstuff armaghlad.

Yep I wasnt sure why Clonmore were favourites to beat Blackhill given their county's recent records in the competition. Blackhill were runners up in Monaghan the last three consecutive seasons beaten by the likes of Emyvale and Rockcorry who both went on to win Ulster.

Rock are a dead cert to beat Cornafean who are very poor.

Told that Downings won the All-Ireland junior Gaeltacht this year beating teams from Mayo, Cork and Kerry. They could be good value.

Yes Magilligan aren't great tbh, Derry Junior football is pretty weak so wouldn't expect much from them.

Heard Donaghmoyne aren't great, very young team, very light.
Anyone know much about Bredagh?

Bredagh are one of the favourites, they've a very good forward in Alan Davison, scores for fun. Was an Irish League player and Antrim were hoping to sign him before he declared for Down who proceeded to never pick him! Very fit guy (think he's a PT) they've also one or two others who were in and around the Down football team as well as a county hurler (Hughes?).. bredagh should win

CapsLock20

Donaghmoyne scraped past Rockcorry in their county final. I think Bredagh should have more than enough for them. Donal Hughes is the Down hurler in their side.

Betting down on Magilligan v Downings with Paddy Power!

Kiltimagh evens to beat Westport today. Westport played the semi last Sunday and the replay on Wednesday and from what I've heard, there was a number of players pulling up with cramp.
I'm going to do a bit of research on this and come back to you.

bigmick1

Keep us updated 80s child.

Downings evens in Boyles

80s Child

Apologies. Young buck's christening here today.

I realise it's started, but the word is that Kiltimagh should do it.

Edit: Thanks be to God I was late!

Sars are very strong and with home advantage they should win comfortably although they've an awful record in munster.

deisechap09

Like the look of Ballygunner over 1.5 goals at 7/4. This team have a serious threat with Brian O sullivan, mahony, Peter hogan etc. They will need goals if they are to go close here and 7/4 is decent value.

That's a great price for a team with an eye for goal.

kerosene

13/8 for btts a goal in kilcoo v glenswilly with ladbrokes looks Good value, kilcoo have plenty of goals in their side and Murphy id imagine will spend sometime at ff especially if they are trailing at any stage.
Game has been put back to 3pm due to extra time in intermediate game.

Well lads, no joy last weekend with Bredagh busting my accumulator! They were one ahead in injury time before Donaghmoyne drew level with a last gasp free and won out in extra time.

Thoughts on this weekend?

Patrickswell are 4/7 to beat Glen Rovers in Munster club hurling semi final this weekend. Patrickswell defeated the Glen in a challenge about 7-8 weeks ago by 7 points (2 late goals for Rovers prevented it being a double digit defeat), and this was without some of their key players while Glen were at full strength.

The handicap is at -2, and I'm very interested to see what the prices are for greater than that during the week. I think the Well from anything between -4 to -6 could be covered easily, and probably at a very good price.

Great info. Thanks for that.

Dempseys of Laois play Round Towers of Kildare this weekend in the Leinster IFC. Dempseys are at home and 6/4. They have 3 ex laois players but I would only be familiar with towers who are decent but not anything great.

Are Dempseys highly thought of?

O'Dempseys have one ex Laois senior in Peter O'Leary. Current Laois panellist Robbie Kehoe and they are reportedly without current Laois starter Conor Meredith who's abroad with college placement.

They are a bit better than most of the last few Laois intermediate champs in my opinion.

6/4 is not a bad price at all.
