Senior Mohill v Ballinamore Mohill is struggling to fill the void left by Shane Quinn and Keith Beirne. Ballinamore has a few lads missing, too, but should have enough to edge this. Ballinamore by 5
Melvin Gaels v Leitrim Gaels Melvin Gaels showed improvement as the league progressed. It won't be easy, but Leitrim Gaels should get the win. Leitrim Gaels by 4.
Fenagh v Aughawillian Fenagh has improved a lot since last season. Aughawillian has some key players missing and could struggle here. Fenagh by 9.
Manorhamilton v Mary's Manorhamilton have the players to cause problems but McNulty's absence in the middle is huge. Mary's should win here. Mary's by 6
Intermediate Allen Gaels v Gortletteragh I think Allen Gaels would have being a contender for the Senior championship this year, if they hadn't blown the Intermediate final. The addition of Roscommon player Kieran Kilcline is another boost for them. Gortletteragh has some fine players, but it will take a hugh effort to surprise Allen Gaels in Drumshambo. Allen Gaels by 7
Carrigallen v Annaduff Carrigallen showed improvement as the league progressed. But even without Darren Cox, Annaduff should be too strong. Annaduff by 3.
Bornacoola v St Mary's B Both teams will be happy with this draw. With 3 teams relegated this year, a loss for either team would be a big blow. Mary's had 36 fit lads lined out for the league final, so their 2nd team could be strong. It's hard to decide. Bornacoola by 1.
Big win for Mohill last night considering the players they are without this year. Ballinamore will rue all their missed chances, not a fatal defeat for them by any means, but that's a game they'd have targeted to lay down a marker.

Another big surprise in Manorhamilton tonight. Where next for St Mary's?
Any reports from the Championship games.
Also I would love to hear feedback from the Leitrim underage teams wins in Ballyhaunis.

The importance of Barry McNulty to Manor cannot be underestimated. They hadn't him for the whole league and tonight he scored 5 points from play I think. Manor have some fine young players coming through and I think they will be very strong strong in the next few years. Not a fatal defeat for Carrick but questions will remain over them after that. Leitrim Gaels and Fenagh made strong starts and you'd think even at this early stage relegation is between Aughawillan and Melvin Gaels. In Intermediate Allen Gaels won comfortably against a mediocre Gortletteragh side who could be in a relegation battle if they don't improve as will Carrigallen who lost out comfortably in the end to Annaduff. 3 teams relegated from Intermediate.
Great win for Manor lastnight had themselves,Aughawillian and Melvin Gaels down as the weakest teams in Senior Championship. If they can add another win could be enough to save them
