    The Lough for me.

    Generally I have been really surprised by all the Waterford entries and was definitely a dark horse in this competition

    Coumshingaun Lough

    Can't believe something this beautiful was in a neighbouring county and I didn't know about it till yesterday. I am with Necro - the find of the tournament for me too.

    I still maintain that the horseshoe valley is in no way the best landmark in Sligo, but it gets my vote over the tinnies all the same.

    Definitely Gleniff Horseshoe for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭bmorrissey


    the tinnies are cool, but im a sucker for natural scenery and the valley is beautiful scenery.

    Gleniff Horseshoe Valley for me

    Gleniff Horseshoe Valley

    Sligonians unite! Seriously though it's a much better landmark than the Tinnies, as fun as they are and all.

    Have to stick local here with my vote, the Horseshoe valley gets it


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,245 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Horseshoe Valley - my find of the tournament (cos I was one of I'm sure many who nominated Coumshingaun)

    Looks spectacular. Had no inkling in was there. Has a nominated cave for good measure. Gets my vote


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Hmmmm.... that's a difficult one.....


    Have never seen the valley, but it looks impressive.


    Have often seen The Tinnies, plus I nominated them, and I think they're a brilliant example of public/road art.


    Think I'll go for The Tinnies, as I said in the prelims they're impressively big, and the way they're dressed up to go with the prevailing happenings is brilliant.


    Plus, there's going to be loads of natural scenery features going through, these are something completely different!

    Gleniff Horseshoe Valley ; superb looking, and the superior entrant here

    Going to go with the landmark just beyond my parents back garden.

    Gleniff Horseshoe

    It’s my go to place when I’m feeling down and there’s more to the valley than just that one view.

    Also - if this is a straight bracket, then the last 16 will start with the sea stacks v the Skelligs, followed by Coumshingaun v (it seems) Horseshoe Valley.

    Some tough tough choices ahead...

    Agreed, can’t believe Ben Bulben didn’t make it, it’s iconic.

    The Tinnies-

    I am sure the Horseshoe Valley is great but it's no Benbulben. I also see my vote won't make a difference but I will have to cast it for the Tinnies.

    I like art on public roads, I think it brightens many a journey. The Tinnies are even better-the fact they can be dressed up for different seasons/events means that people can respond to the art differently again and again. I can't wait to go see them.

    Horseshoe by a mile. Natural scenary nearly always wins for me. As another poster said it's also got another nomination in it (diarmuid and grainnes cave) so getting two for the price of one.

    While those matches could still take place, these Ultimate Tournaments have always been blind random draws like the FA Cup. I don't like letting anyone know who'll face who until it comes up... I don't even know myself!

    Offaly

    Kinnitty Pyramid

    Kings County v Queens County

    Both decent but not of the standard we've seen go through so far.

    The Rock looks like it has more to it though


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,534 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Kinnitty Pyramid

    Very novel and exciting that I will get to visit a Pyramid in Offaly. So it gets my vote.

    The Rock of Dunamase

    Mmmmmmmmmm I think
    Kinnitty Pyramid
    Because it's a pyramid and there is a more impressive rock in the tournament
