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

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

I fancy the Pats to beat Dreadnots tonight
