Looks like Killoe will sail into the Co Final and will probably win it. Champions in 2023 and should have won it last year only for Abbey to sting them unexpectedly in the semi.

Replying To Spinx:  "Quarter Final pairings complete. Killoe won the bonus ball game this evening. Just a matter of who they will face in the final now."
Hard to believe a senior club like Colmcille not conditioned.

Amazingly not a work about Clonguish. They were on fire in a tough group. Will have you much for a Dromard side depending on McGee for scores.
I would have them as favourites gor the title this year

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."
Slightly wrong on the order of group A, but still might pan out correct for semi-finalists.
3 of the quarter finals should be good battles and hard to call.
Carrickedmond will not fear Rathcline, who still have a lot to prove. The Rats should just get to a 1st semi final in over 20 years but wont be surprised in Carrickedmond win.
Colmcille and Abbeylara is vary hard to call, as both are very inconsistant. If both turn up and play good football, Colmcille might shade it.
Killoe should beat Mullinalaghta even though this fixture has only gone 1 way in last 10 years. Mullinalaghta have the upperhand mentally, their fight is going to be matching the mileage and speed.
Not sure if Dromard will challenge Clonguish, can't see it.
Semi-finals predictions:
Clonguish v Colmcille
Killoe v Rathcline
