Replying To Clonbonnyrabbitt:  "Great performance from our lads, Oran and Shane Kenny have been unplayable in this championship. Slashers very very poor, hard to believe they have been so bad in this years championship. But if they somehow win against Abbeylara they are through. Clashes between killoe and colmcille and clonguish and rathcline to see who tops the groups. I predict killoe colmcille clonguish and abbeylara to make the semi finals"
Thats unlikely to 4 semi finalists, Killoe and Colmcille will prob be 1 and 2 on their side of the group so Abbey are going to be playing one of them in the q-final.

Senior predictions-
GpA
1. Colmcille. 2. Killoe. 3. Dromard. 4. Granard.
GpB
1. Clonguish. 2. Rathcline. 3. Abbeylara. 4. Mullinalaghta.
Qtr-finals
Colmcille v Mullinalaghta (Colmcille win by 4)
Killoe v Abbeylara (Killoe win by 2)
Dromard v Rathcline (Rathcline win by 6)
Granard v Clonguish (Clonguish win by 10+)
Carrick and Slashers to lose out, Mostrim and Drumlish to go down.
The 2 table topper games are meaningless really, still lead to same outcome to semi-finals.
Hopefully i'm wrong somewhere and a surprise or 2 happens along the way to shake it up.

Is there not a chance that Killoe can be passed out by dromard, if dromard beat carrickedmond and killoe lose to colmcille in the final round or does head to head rule out my prediction. If so the potential of Colmcille v Mullineachta and Killoe v Abbeylara along with Clonguish v Dromard and Rathcline v Carrickedmond/Granard looks like a great quarter final weekend

Killoe have Dromard on head to head if both finish on same points. Dromard could possibly overtake Colmcille if they finish on same points as they drew. Presume it would go to score difference then.

Killoe cant be caught in second because they won the head to head. Colmcille can be passed with a 5 point swing if they lose and Dromard win. Who would they rather meet, abbey, mull or the rats?

Head to head means Dromard can't finish above Killoe if Dromard win and Killoe lose. However if Killoe win and Dromard also win and finish with a better score difference than Colmcille, they overtake Colmcille into 2nd.

There's been some great performances across the senior and intermediate games so far, hopefully solan will call all and more importantly hopefully the players are able to commit.

Definitely great to see Shane Kenny, Daire O'Brien, Fergal Sheridan all performing well, size and power at midifeld is something Longford were missing. Who else has impressed so far?
