Leitrim are surely favourites for this? Not many teams have the quality we have as we proved against Galway.

Only change I'd make here is I see Antrim beating Carlow

How many minutes coverage will the Tailteann Cup get on Sunday Game, il go with a whole 2.40 minutes with some awful background music, followed by some general comments from pundits who didn't see any of the games.


While majority of show focuses on two finals that were already shown live earlier that day.

Sound familiar??
