Limerick 0-4 Antrim 0-3 ; 15 minutes gone - Limerick have a wind.

Boom__Boom

Serious enough sounding injury to Justin Crozier delayed play in the Limerick - Antrim game about 10 minutes

5 points apiece.

Boom__Boom

Limerick 6 Antrim 8 points at half-time.

Antrim responded better to the injury break with 3 points on the trot, before Limerick pulled one back.

Limerick playing against the wind in the 2nd half - so a lot to do. Antrim in spite of the injury will be far happier at HT with the wind advantage to come in the 2nd half.

Limerick 1-10 Antrim 0-10

Tipperary 1-1 Longford 0-1 after 17 minutes

Tipperary 1-3 Longford 0-2 after 21 minutes

Longford have hit the post 3 times and have had 3/4 wides, so a bit closer than the scoreline suggests

Tipperary 1-8 Longford 0-4 ht

Longford struggling to get scores on the board.

It's 6 points each in the Wicklow - Sligo game after 27 mins

Boom__Boom

Wicklow 0-6 Sligo 0-6 30 minutes gone.

Say Your Number

It's Sligo 0-8 Wicklow 0-6 at HT

From what I've heard on the radio Sligo were dominant and should be a few more points up.

Great win for Limerick. Fair play to the lads. Good to see them picking up three goals too.

Derry Longford game was the complete freak result of the championship.

Tipperary are a good team too in fairness and could make a 1/4 final this year.

Derry regularly put out decent league teams that don't do it in the championship

I know but even still - Derry are a Division 1 team who got to the league final and were beaten by Longford who were relegated to Division 4 and now Tipperary a Division 4 team are hammering Longford out the gate.

Tipp 2-13 Longford 0-6 60 minutes

Mantis Toboggan

All level in aughrim.

Boom__Boom

Tipp 2-17 Longford 0-6 FT - I'd imagine the Cork footballers would be happy enough to see that scoreline.

Sligo 0-10 Wicklow 0-9 26 gone second half Tight

Unlikely.
If they got to Rnd 4 they would meet one of Cork, Kerry, Mayo or Galway.

By all accounts they should have beaten Cork - would be interesting if they got a good result the next day.

Tipp having a good football year; got out of Division 4, win against Limerick in Championship, a narrow defeat against Cork in Cork in a game they could have won and a very solid win in the qualifiers to set them up for the next round -

The Tipp footballers could well be in action longer than their hurlers which would be a bit unusual.

It's finished Sligo 0-12 Wicklow 0-10

Jaysus was stressful listening to that, delighted Sligo did enough.

Sligo's first qualifier win since 2009, we used to be pretty strong in the qualifers.

Boom__Boom

Sligo 0-12 Wicklow 0-10 FT

Sligo will probably be happy to get the result ; Aughrim will retain it's reputation as a tricky devil of a place to go visiting.

Sligo, Limerick, Tipperary and 1 of Wexford or Laois in the next round - should be 2 decent games there you'd imagine.
