Club Football Championships 2026

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post

Before the championship started I predicted Na Fianna to be relegated but now it looks like it will be a Kilbride and Simonstown relegation final.
Seneschalstown have scored nearly twice as much as Simonstown in the group stages and should have points to spare at the end of the game.
Na Fianna have not been taking as a big of hidings as Kilbride and should achieve their goal this year of keeping their senior status, avoiding the relegation final which I would have not expected pre championship.

What are the senior and intermediate predictions for this weekend?
Looking forward to watching Ratoath and Dunshaughlin, looks set to be a cracker.

Great win for Kilbride, refreshing to see them in the Championship. Na Fianna will need to give the next game everything, Rafferty will need to show his class - which, apparently, he did tonight.

A lot of work to do from a Kilbride perspective, next year they'll be aiming to be competitive in the group stage, but they've had hard luck with injuries.

Replying To GoalsWinGames:  "The form line held out for the most part after round 1. The biggest shock is Oldcastle not qualifying after a super 1st round performance v Castletown. Duleek-Bellewstown have something about them and will be hard bet. O'Mahony's just did enough to find a last 8 spot but I think Meath Hill will be a step too far for them.
I see Meath Hill, Castletown, Moylalvey & Duleek coming through the quarter finals. I know I'm still not giving Clann na nGael the credit they absolutely deserve.
Relegation is anyones guess, I think it will be a Drumbaragh v Blackhall Gaels final."
Top 3 gone !

Castletown out now too, some win for Walterstown. I fancy Duleek from here but with the new rules i find making predictions can make you look silly, anything can happen and it's brilliant.

St Pat's were my pre championship pick and I still think they'll do it, really impressive at the weekend. Massive test in 2 weeks though.

Duleek with Armstong look a different animal, he adds exactly what they were missing. They won't last a minute playing senior football without him though. But they can win the intermediate championship for sure, and will beat Walterstown by about 15 points

Castletown just haven't performed this year, seen them a few times and was never convinced they were the same team as last year. Think a lot of the old heads will walk away this year and they'll rebuild over the next few years.

Two things that need addressing.
1) putting a surcharge of €5 for anyone without a ticket is a disgrace as this targets those who are just not up to speed with technology, ie the older supporters who have been the backbone of the gaa for decades.

2) fixing all Senior games for Dunganny is simply a grab for money with no regard for supporters , Dunganny was never intended to be a venue for matches and the lack of a bank for supporters means that if you don't get a spot at fence you see very little, add in the lack a time clock and a mickey mouse scoreboard and it is a joke.

I know my stuff ! And Duleek/Bellewstown were very lucky to survive a late scare too.
It's why we say every year that the intermediate championship is the hardest won championship of them all. Carnage.
