Replying To Square_B: "I think it's a decent format and if you had have said to me at the start of year that both Mohill & St Mary's would be in trouble, I'd have looked at you as if you'd 2 heads. I think SOH will do Aughawillan a favour at the weekend and beat St Mary's but I wouldn't be surprised if Aughawillan beat Mohill or if SOH were beaten. It's certainly a better format than 2 groups of four where 3 teams progress even if it still ends up with 6 teams progressing."
I have seen St Marys play challenges in Roscommon and they were impressive but almost too structured and too defensive. I would not rule them out. If Marys win against SOH, they could get momentum. On the other hand If SOH beat St Marys, am I correct in saying it doesnt matter what Aughawilan do v Mohill ? Based on how the table looks, SOH would play Aughawillan and Mohill in Qtr Final (3rd V 6th) and Mohill (if they beat Aughawillan) would probably play Glencar Manor.

Yes you're right; if SOH beat St. Mary's, the other game doesn't matter bar who finishes 5 & 6 (or possibly 4). Manor have a tough game v Leitrim Gaels and don't have a great point difference so who knows what might happen. This sort of jeopardy makes it a bit more interesting at least... the level of jeopardy is limited enough with 8 teams in fairnessm

If manor beat Leitrim and Carrick beat Soh manor are in semi in head to head no team is easily beat up there
Intermediate Mary's B v Drumkeerin Anything other than a big win against a weak Mary's second team would be a big surprise. Drumkeerin by 10
Dromahair v Gortletteragh Gortletteragh desperately needs something from this game, but Dromahair will be difficult to beat at home. If Gortletteragh can stop leaking goals, they might nip this. Gortletteragh by 1
Carrigallen v Bornacoola Carrigallen had a big win last week and should build on that, especially if Shane Mallon returned to rugby? Carrigallen by 5
Ballinaglera v Annaduff Ballinaglera is struggling for form. Even without Darren Cox, Annaduff should be too strong. Annaduff by 5
Kiltubrid v Allen Gaels Anything other than a big win for Allen Gaels would be a shock. Allen Gaels by 9
Junior A Cloone v Eslin The bigger pitch might suit Cloone. Cloone by 3
Manor B v Aughavas Aughavas by 9
Mohill B v Drumreilly Mohill could be trying to get some match fitness into their returning players. This could make things difficult for Drumreilly. Mohill by 2
A very worrying result for kiltubrid last night. They have shipped 3 big scores so far in this championship. 3 of the 4 relegation spots already occupied … Gortletteragh the biggest surprise of the 3 teams with 0 points. Allen Gaels the team to beat and they've been very impressive throughout the league and now also in championship.
