Big shock tonight with the Dreadnots beating Mocthas, deservedly so as well
Mocthas could be in big trouble as the Pats won't be beaten easily. Without Declan Byrne they don't have the quality forward to get them guaranteed scores, missed some shocking scores from frees and play today
Pepe Smith was excellent for Dreadnots but was a team performance. Fair play to them
Fantastic game in Darver last night with Mulroys class just about getting Martins over the line The joes will be kicking themselves, they seemed to go a bit more defensive when 5 up when the change to kill the game was on
Hopefully young McCaul stays fit. Would be a great addition back to the Louth panel for 2026
Still wouldn't rule anything out in this group, next week Blues Martins is 50/50 and so is Blues/Joes
Gaels won as expected Saturday and would fancy there chances v Cooley next week
Ardee should have a handy passage to 1/4 final but Fechins will be delighted after Sunday and should also be in 1/4 final

Yeah Mulroy what a player and hopefully he gets an All star.

6 out of 8 teams that I picked reached the last 8. Lannleire and the Mals let me down.
Replying To Ollie2: "Yeah I cannot wait for this one. Will the Marys do the four in a row? Can the Mochs win a historic maiden senior title? Will the Jocks reach a 7th final in 8th year's and bring home Joe for the first time since 2021? Will the Blues win a record title 24th senior title? Here's my tips for the campaign and this coming weekend:
Group 1 quarter-finalists: Cooley and Gaels Group 2 quarter-finalists: Mochs and Pats Group 3 quarter-finalists: Marys and Gers Group 4 quarter-finalists: Jocks and Blues
Great game in Drogheda yesterday. The blues will be kicking themselves 6 points up and they started messing around with the ball around the midfield not trying to attack and were thankfully punished for it
If it was a management decision to do that, after outplaying the Martins for 50 mins he will be sick
The Joes did something similar last week against the Martins
That's 2 games the Martins should have lost and won. Sign of a very good team
Good win for Cooley yesterday and Ardee were just ok Sat night but got the job done, without McKenny and Durnin
