Who are the 5 teams who could win leinster? Technically yes, on planet realism 3 I'd say. Any of 4 counties could win munster, bar waterford richiepmurphy (Kilkenny) - Posts: 80 - 11/05/2026 10:44:56 2672245 Link 0 |

All the teams except Kildare can still win Leinster. And I was wrong about the relegation, 4 teams can still be relegated. Kildare, Offaly, Kilkenny and Wexford.

Being realistic one of 2 counties will win Munster. Same 2 that were tipped at the start of the year.

On planet realism, it's beyond Clare 2026 surely, and realistically (which is the planet we're talking here), you wouldn't fancy Tipp 2026 either. Cork or Limerick will win Munster '26, that appears to be an inevitability now. The Leinster Final looks like Galway v KK/Dublin at this point. All bets off regarding who might win that out.

'Being realistic' how many counties do you think have a chance of winning Leinster?

I was going to make a stab at it but be pure guess. If Dublin win one of last two almost certain to be in final. Lose both and won't make top 3. And wouldn't deserve to really. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 4277 - 11/05/2026 12:14:01 2672282 Link 0 |

Honestly, and I mean genuinely honestly, having seen us all play this year we are all so bad that Offaly could win it.

Ive thought about it some more and Offaly could win it as they could win out by decent scores against us and Kildare, Dublin and Kilkenny could draw and Dublin could lose to Galway. They could then be in the final against Galway on score difference. They could also be in the final if Galway were to win out, not unlikely, Dublin to lose out, also not impossible, but the problem for them then is that Kilkenny are unlikely to lose to Kildare. So being realistic they could win Leinster, as the 1st scenario isnt totally implausible. We arent that likely either, but it wouldnt take any impossible results. We would need to win out, not impossible but it would need a significant increase in workrate, and Dublin would need to win out too, not impossible either. We would then play Dublin in the final. Or a less likely route would be we would have to win out, Dublin would have to lose to Kilkenny and Galway, not impossible, but again like Offaly we would need Kildare to beat Kilkenny. We would then play Galway in the final. Not likely. Another way we could get through to the final if we win out is for Dublin to lose to Galway, and draw with Kilkenny, with Kilkenny beating Kildare. But we would need to win out by a healthy score difference, and we arent scoring that freely. So being realistic there are still 5 not unrealistically possible Leinster winners. Right now I wouldn't like to call which of them, although its probably more likely Galway, Kilkenny or Dublin. Probably err towards Galway, as I would towards Limerick in Munster. By that Im still not ruling us out of winning our next 3 games, and Dublin winning their next 2 ;-) .... :-D Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 19499 - 11/05/2026 13:28:58 2672318 Link 0 |

I'd say 3. Galway, Kilkenny and Dublin. If we meet Dublin in a Leinster final, they'll have no fears about playing us and have decent record against us. Obviously Kilkenny have it in them to beat us, particularly in Leinster finals, where we've managed to butcher some great opportunities, 2020 and 2023 in particular.
