Clonguish win by 6 in the end, probably should have being twice that with all they missed. Element of surprise gone from Granard after the first game. They should still make a semi final at least.

Killoe going through the motions against Rathcline. Never had to get out of first gear. With more players to come back, they are definitely the team to beat in this year's championship.

Better performance from our lads than the Abbey game but like the above poster I agree Killoe could have won by more if they wanted. Mullineachta winning a good hard game against Dromard mackey going off will be a worry. Ardagh moydow impressive again against abbey who were down a few very key players but good to see ardagh moydow are well able for the level. Colmcille get the job done just about and if carrickedmond lose again they are out they face Clonguish next. Shaping up to be a competitive championship. Ballymore got a big win in the junior over Kenagh who appeared to have no McGanns playing. Worrying to see Legan take such a beating from the clonguish second string

What people's thoughts of games weekend. Ardagh done well to get a draw .good wins for kiloe and colmcille. Mullinlaughta made hard work of beating a poor dromard team

Starting to see a trend of fast attacks and firepower (2 pointers) winning games over the last year since the new rules have bedded in. This will suit the likes of Clonguish with good accurate forwards in Carey and Flynn as well as Duggan chipping in from midfield with longer shots. They are the team to beat and if anyone tries to downplay their chances, they need to get out and watch more games. Killoe are the standard bearers and will be in the mix again with their experience of winning but they just seem to lack the sharp shooters this year, a guy that will kick 10 points in a game. They still have the fast attack part to win big games though, and lots of leader to drag them through when they are not at their best. Colmcille will be there too, they have a couple of good accurate forwards, and a hunger worked up over the last 2 years. They also have a couple of good young players added since last year who may push they on one more step. Have to lean towards Clonguish though, their young team are now fairly experienced with most of them having 3-4 seasons behind them and having played in a county final. They also have a couple of experienced heads in Hanley and Sweeney to lead. Its like when Killoe started breaking through in 2010 and Mullinalaghta started breaking through in 2014 before winning in 2012 and 2016. This is the time for Clonguish, if they leave it any longer, it will become tougher.

Predictions for the weekend with senior and intermediate and even a junior game with 2 first teams

Killoe v Abbeylara - Killoe by 6. Killoe will do enough, Abbeylara will need Robbie Smyth fully fit and Fagan back
Clonguish v Carrickedmond - Clonguish by 3 if Carrickedmond lose they are out so they'll fight tooth and nail
Mullineachta v Ardagh/Moydow - Mullineachta by 5, they have that senior experience to get it done
Dromard v Rathcline - Dromard by 2, our lads need to get a result too or they are in the relegation too.
Colmcille v Longford Slashers - Slashers by 1, Slashers had a big win over Carrick, Colmcille got the job done but Slashers have momentum and will get a big 2 points.

Intermediate
Grattens v Killoe B - Grattens by 3, Killoe B are stronger than people think but Grattens need to be winning this to get off to a good start

Killashee v Ballymahon - Killashee by 8 both teams had bad leagues but Killashee always rise it for championship I would fancy Dylan Farrell and Paddy Mollaghan to do the scoring

Sean Connollys v Mostrim - Sean Connollys by 2 they will get it done the Reynolds and Daire Duggan are big intermediate players and Mostrim haven't the scoring power since Doherty went awya

Cashel v Fr Manning Gaels - Draw, Fr Manning Gaels have been in division 2 and winning games, hard for cashel to come in after a tough division 1 but Andrew Farrell won't be stopped by the Gaels and he'll keep them in it.

Junior
Ballymore v Legan Sarsfields - Ballymore way too strong for Legan, Ballymore and Kenagh to be in the final unless Clonguish B have a say but no chance for Legan this weekend.

Connollys also have former Clonguish forward Alan Gregg added to their squad this year. He should do well in Intermediate. An extra attacking threat for them.
