I agree also with the sentiment that Ardagh Moydow will struggle . They have struggled against teams that had good forwards because whilst their own forwards and midfield are up to the standard. Their goalkeeper and defence are not. They drew with Abbeylara who were without numerous players on the day including Sean Fagan their player of the championship and Robbie didn't start. And they couldn't get over the line against Rathcline who had nothing to play for. And beat Mullinalaghta without Cian Mackey. In fairness to Liam Keenan he has them well coached and fit , they play the new rules as well as anyone in this championship and that's why they are where they are. I think they've reached their ceiling unfortunately for them and I hope Liam takes the Longford job, be great to have a local man, former player and captain over the team. Clonguish by 13

Dromard Colmcille the clash of the weekend. I think Hagan, farrell and McGee best forward line in the county and Colmcille have been hit and miss so far so Dromard by 3

Saturday Granard are 3/4 but haven't been convincing since they beat Colmcille the first day. A step too far for this young team. Killoe need a perfomance , time for Mooney to show where the money is going. Killoe by 5.

I hear injuries in the abbey camp but they still should have just enough to beat slashers down the wire abbey by 1

Not sure where any of ye are getting us to beat Ardagh/Moydow by 15 points from?!! To me, it seems like outsiders trying to get inside the heads of our young squad and hope complacency creeps in.
No one has beaten this AM team by 15 points in the championship yet.
They are coming in as clear underdogs and will relish that.
We have a few injuries in our camp as well, which will not help the build up to this game.
We still should win, but I'm saying by about 5/6 points.
Killoe will win by about 4, Dromard and Colmcille is a flip of a coin, but I like the cut of Dromard this year so I will give them the vote by about 2.
Abbey will beat Slashers by about 6.
Slashers the worst team in the last 8 for me, Abbey will come through that with a bit to spare.

Colmcille Dromard is being toted as a possible close game !
I will be surprised if Colmcille are even tested.
Colmcille with Jack Macken leading the charge should beat them convincing given that we have won a county final and narrowly lost last 2 finals( one after a replay!) Dromard only beat Ardagh Moydow ( intermediate champions) by 2 pts. Lost to Mullinaghta who are in relegatIon bother and struggled to beat Ratcline ( also in relegation) , they drew with an under strength Abbey and just about beat a Killoe team who had 3 or 4 key men missing and nothing to play for. So I can't understand how people are saying it's hard to call! Colmcille by 5 or 6.

Clonguish, Killoe and Abbey should all do likewise actually and Colmcille to knockout Clonguish (again) in Semi and get revenge on Killoe in final. (Fingers crossed ) I'm hoping to attend all 4 games as i havent got to see many games in person yet but heading down Saturday for the weekend.
