I fancy a treble this weekend in the hurling

Laois (+7) 11/10
I fully expect Wexford to win this match to but I cant see them winning by more than 7 points. The last match they played in which Wexford won by 12 points was meant nothing to Laois as they were gauranteed to be in the relegation playoff anyway so Im disregarding that match. Wexford have more quality hurlers in there team but this is going to be a dog fight but I expect Wexford to win by no more than 5 or 6 points.

Dublin (4/6)
The tide really started to turn for Galway, and not in a good way. After a good start to the league,they lost to Waterford and then were hammered by Kilkenny. Dublin on the other hand were very unlucky in there matches in particular losing to Kilkenny in Nowlan Park. After being bet by Galway already in the league, Daly will be gunning for revenge and I can see them winning this with 2 or 3 points to spare. After making so much progress last year Dublin cant afford to be relegated and I think they have enough about them to win.

Carlow (8/13)
This will be the the tightest of the three games. Carlow are undeafeted in the league so far,while Westmeath only lost one game,which was to Carlow. Both teams are handy but I can see Carlow just edging out victory in Nowlan Park.

€20 treble at odds of roughly 9/2

Not arguing with the selection, and the Dublin team looks about as strong as it can be with Kelly and Ryan back, but I don't think Galway can afford to be relegated either. Think this could be a really tight game.

Looking forward to Tullamore on Sunday.

16/1 on no goals in the Dublin game. They've already had two goalless games out of five this year.

Who do you all think will win both AI's?
I fancy doing a double that will hopefully give me a run for my money.

Don't do it!! I did it last year :pac: I was on a 2 week high waiting on the big returns following Kilkenny's win because surely the Dubs were going to bottle it. 15 minutes left in the football final looking home and hosed..... not to be

KevIRL

Think Cork are worth a bet tomorrow v Tipp. JBM has got them on something of a resurgence, and I think Cork will be the hungrier team with more desire for a league title. Also with these 2 likely to play each other in a Munster Semi Final in June, its quite likely Tipp might hold back a bit for that. Also Tipp missing Paul Curran, Donagh Maher and The Bonner Maher, Cork are missing Cathal Naughton but have the excellent Conor Lehane on the bench along with Darren Sweetnam, expect to see these sprung for a strong second half

Cork 11/8 and + 1 @ evs both good for me

Nonoperational

There are however quite a few unknowns. Lehane and Naughton have got lots of scores so Niall McCarthy and Luke O Farrell will need to have big games as will Gardiner at mid-field.

O Farrell to score over 1.5 pts is 6/5 with PP I think. Interesting bet.

Cork ones to watch out for this year for sure. Donal Óg injury the only cloud on a great day for them, although watch them turn that into a positive in terms of the team 'doing it for Ógie' during the summer.

KevIRL

Pp make Clare 6/5 to beat Waterford in munster championship. Will be snapping this up as they should be favs imo

finbarrk

Mayo or Kildare as outside options for the AIF.

MikeyGorse

Will definitely be on Clare for the Waterford game.

KevIRL

Richie Power possibly out for the rest of the season or KK following an injury last night in a club match. Results of the scan will be known tomorrow however he is definitely out for the league final next weekend. With Shefflin already missing this will be a huge loss for KK. Enough for me to have small bet on Cork @ 15/8, who are really on a roll under JBM and also +2 @ evs

MrJoeSoap

Power apparently could be back in 6 weeks now, but will of course miss the league final on Sunday.

Nonoperational

If you can get 2/1 Cork I like it a lot. Kilkenny are missing a few and now Power is another huge loss. Cork are playing well, O Farrell scored 3 goals in a club game after the Tipp game and Lehane will probably start. Definitely worse 2/1 shots.

premierstone

Have Cork named a team yet?

Would be madness imo to play the likes of Lehane, Sweetnam etc. as you can guarantee KK will tear into them, they will want to put down a marker and attempt to quelll the rise of Cork as the last thing KK want is a strong Cork added to the mix.

Cody's comments during the week about the need to keep physicality as an integral part of hurling was a clear indication of what he's intentions for sunday are and it was an attempt to influence the referee on Sunday to 'let the game flow'.

longshotvalue

Kilkenny are definatly going to struggle sunday, i think cork will win this , but well get em back later on this year..

They just wont suit kk in their current state.. The Cork/Cork Ht FT, at about 7/2 or more looks great value (hopefully im wrong obv.)

Kilkenny have hardly lifted a hurl this year in training,and i can see them getting the run around..

keane2097

Fermanagh are way too long versus Down fwiw.

Slightly suprised tbh, but I guess JBM has taken the view he can't wrap them in cotton woll forever may aswell see what their made of now, persoanlly I hope they are - a hurling championship with Cork, Tipp and KK flying would be something to behold

Kilkenny Team:
1 David Herity 2 Paul Murphy 3 J.J. Delaney 4 Jackie Tyrrell 5 Tommy Walsh 6 Brian Hogan 7 Richie Doyle 8 Michael Fennelly 9 Paddy Hogan 10 Richie Hogan 11 T.J. Reid 12 Cillian Buckley 13 Colin Fennelly 14 Eoin Larkin (Capt.) 15 Matthew Ruth

Kilkenny without Shefflin, Richie Power, Michael Rice and Aidan Fogarty.

Big game will be needed from Larkin and I fancy €5 1st goalscorer @ 6/1. I also fancy €10 on Cork winning at half time,Kilkenny at full time 9/2

longshotvalue

Thats a shocking bunch of forwards for us, i think well struggle badly.. Cork/Cork HT FT looks the bet

They may not be the first choice forwards, but they've 14 All-Irelands, 17 Leinsters and a Hurler of the Year amongst the six starting forwards, hardly "shocking". What have the Cork front six won?

And more importantly, why am I arguing for Kilkenny with a man from Kilkenny?

Dan Chipowski

Paddy Power have Richie Hogan @ 8/11 to score over 2.5pts.

They've got it priced up as if Eoin Larkin is the likely free taker, but that wouldn't be guaranteed in my view, and even if Larkin did start on the frees you'd imagine Richie Hogan would take any penalties etc.

I think it's a fair bet even with him not taking the frees, and there's always a chance he could be switched on to them if Larkin missed a few/got injured.

MikeyGorse

Cork to win @ 6/4

Dan Chipowski

Don't think Richie Hogan even got a score. Oh well.

Hulk Hands

The line is way too high in the Sligo game imo. New York +16 is value at 10/11

jive

Let that be a lesson to some of ye, you won't get rich backing against KK! Tipp are the only team in the same league as them imo. The likes of cork/waterford/galway/dublin are just playing catch up. I could see the reasons for backing Cork today though and it's rich me saying it after the match.

The best you can get them for online is 4/1, and that is with SkyBet, BetVictor or William Hill.

Anyone have any tips for the club Hurling and Football the weekend?

My only bet is the following:
Offaly SHC - Birr vs Belmont (1/16 - 20/1 - 6/1)
This is the first round of the Championship and Birr come into this missing a few key players. The 2 hannifys, JP O Meara, Mick Verney are all ruled out whilst Dylan Hayden is only returning from injury so will not be up to match fitness. Belmont on the other hand have a full squad, with players such as the Egan brothers, Colin Egan and Damien Egan who had a brilliant game in the u21 final last weekend. Cannot leave out current offaly captain either, David Kenny who is always solid as a rock and is for once injury free. The lusmagh pitch will be tight and Birr will not have much room as I can see Belmont give it Everything from the start. The Morale in Birr will not be great as there u21's were comfortably beaten in the Final last weekend by St Rynaghs. If ever a time Belmont were to beat Birr, well then this is it and at 6/1 you cant turn down that price.

Tips: 3Pts Belmont to win - 6/1
Saver: 1Pt on Draw - 20/1

Danesfort 15/8 to beat St. Martins in the Kilkenny Senior League/Championship. Danesfort won Intermediate last year and had a tough match for the start of their Senior campaign losing to Ballyhale but I really fancy them to beat St. Martins. With players of the calibre of Richie and Paddy Hogan aswel as Paul Murphy they have a really strong spine to their team and I can see them winning this with 2-3 points to spare.

Ballyhale Shamrocks 2/9 to beat Dunnamaggin.
Ballyhale don't need any introduction. The loss of Michael Fennelly shouldn't affect them too much and if TJ Reid, who has been in great form for Kilkenny this year can reproduce that for his club then Ballyhale should win handy enough. It will be tight in the first half but Ballyhales class win shine through and they should win by 5-6. Hopefully King Henry will get some game time aswel.

James Stephens 1/7 to beat Graigue Ballycallan
Reigning County Champions James Stephens will have to much class up front for Graigue Ballycallan to live with. Eoin Larkin is in the form of his life at the moment and with Matt Ruth beside him they will rake up the scores. This should be a comfortable win for the village.

I'm going with a €20 treble at odds of roughly 3/1

People are talking about what a huge loss he is to a panel as strong as Kilkenny's but you don't think it will affect a club team much?

Obviously it will affect them but I still reckon they will be to strong this weekend for Dunnamaggin

More bad news from a Waterford POV, Midfielder Shane O Sullivan has left the panel to go to America for the summer. Eoin Kelly is 90% out injured with a finger injury, Noel Connors still hasnt recovered from his injury and wont be fit for the Clare match, and Darragh Fives also out with an injury.

That means that we are missing (injured or travelling) from last years panel

Noel Connors
Shane O Sullivan
Darragh Fives
Brian O Sullivan
David O Sullivan
Eoin Kelly
Pauric Mahony.

Plus the retirements of the likes of Clinton Hennessey, Declan Prendergast, Murray etc.

Its going to be a seriously lightweight Waterford team now, and they were in trouble even with a full panel to pick from. Clare have been trimmed to evs but I still think thats value and going to get some more on now

Paddypower have Roscommon 2/1with Galway 8/15 which looks like a bit of a misprice to me.

Roscommon +2 are evens.

Westmeath v Antrim - This looks like an easy win for Antrim, Westmeath finished 2nd in Div 2a and Antrim finished 4th in div 1b (which contains Limerick, Offaly and Clare). Antrim had a good campain beating Wexford and Laois (the teams they should beat) and drawing with Limerick @ the Gaelic Grounds. Its a matter of picking the right bets in this one imo, so here goes.

Antrim over 1.5 goals @ 8/11
Antrim over 2.5 @ 2/1 - Westmeath conceeded 10 goals in 5 league games against lesser opposition and Antrim have scored 10 goals in 5 league gaome against tougher opposition - PP
L Watson to score a goal anytime @ 5/4 with Boyles - hes leathal and takes frees and penos too
Also gonna do some handicap bets on Antrim
(-4) @ 5/6
(-5) @ 11/10 with paddys

In the football Donegal looks good value (-3) @ 5/6 with boyles

Good luck all

Sorry but i take back the Donegal bet - there missing Murphy and McFadden - probably a beter bet here is under 28.5 points @ 10/11 with boyles considering that Donegal are missing there chief scorer

Galway -2 at evens. Should be -4
