Great to see a Fermanagh focused thread again. Anyhow, looking at the up and coming highlight of the year the championships it looks a bit more predictable this year. I see the Senior title going to Derrygonnelly based on their league performance as others fall short in terms of consistency and robustness even though Enniskillen Gaels had a good showing this season. Ederney had a slighthy disappointing showing so i think they won't make the impact this time. Likewise in the Intermediate championship Erne Gaels should lift that title but i wouldn't rule out Devenish as their isn't much between them. The Junior title is likely to go to Donagh but Coa might give them a close run given how performed against Derrylin recently. Talking of Derrylin i will be surprised if they don't get a rude awakening in the Intermediates. Would like to see who will contradict my prediction and supporting analysis.

Senior
I also believe it will be hard to look past the harps this year, Again they have been massively consistent over the last few years in Fermanagh and even this year with the league title. Although stranger things have happened. Just takes one team to turn up on the day, EG Roslsea, Gaels, Ederney

Roslea will always be a danger with goals, Just need a few other names to step up outside of the usual.

I personally think you can't go by league performance for the championship. Sure, look at the unbeaten harps last year. I believe Ederney had been beaten twice in that league(One of them being a thrashing by the harps)

Intermediate
It will be a very interesting one but I will be backing Beleek to go all the way. As in forwards there the forward line is leaps above anyone else in that championship as well as ultan kelam to link up play out the field. It will be hard to stop at this level(Although It's knowingly hard to predict the Fermanagh intermediate)

Junior
I wouldn't have the best knowledge of this level, So I will back coa just because they're coa even though there's a former giant and a division 2 champion lurking in there :D

Hey Shamrock guy, you say it's hard to beat going by league performance when coming to Seniors predictions yet you ignore E'kn Gaels performance but instead chatter away about the 4th placed Edenrey.
In the Intermediates, I kind a agree on Erne Gaels but Devenish will give them a fair rattle for the honours.
Then for the Juniors you chatter on about Coa being a serious contender so where's your reflection on league performance as Coa is stuck in the bottom end of their table?
I think you are a bit of a waffler and like to hear yourself talking the same as that macca guy!

Senior
So for seniors, I simply stated that league performance contributes very little to how the championship goes as we seen from last year's results. As for Enniskillen, I don't see them as championship contenders after their display against the harps in the league final this year. A team that looks way too flat for their first division one final in years.

Junior
As in Junior, I said I don't have much knowledge of this level so I stated Coa just because of who there are? I'm surprised you could not tell this from " Coa just because they're Coa".
I did not seriously say that Coa could win it this year I went on to state about " former giant and a division 2 champion lurking in there".
It's pretty obvious Coa would never get past both of these opponents.
Lighten up gaalltheway,

Both nishamrock & gaalltheway are both talking bullsh*t. You posters have short memories as Coa were in the 2020 Junior final and Derrylin took two attempts before getting their hands on the cup. So it's rubbish to dismiss Coa as having no chance this time or ever of winning the juniors.

Senior
Harps win. I don't think any team will put it up to them. I thought Enniskillen Gaels may have been up to the challenge, but after a flat league final performance, they are nowhere near it. Kinawley, Belenleck and Ederney all seem off the pace. Rolsea has been defensively strong in the league, not sure if they have the players to go on and win the championship.

Intermediate
Beleek for sure on this one. After watching them in the league, the forwards will be much sharper than many teams in the competition. Devenish isn't a bad shout either and can beat Beleek on their day. Aside from that, I would be surprised if anyone else one the intermediate bar the two teams mentioned.

Junior
Donagh will win this. After a great league final performance against Derrylin, I don't see any team putting it up to them.

Fri 8th Oct 21
Senior Football Championship QF1
Kinawley v Roslea - Roslea for me, a solid league campaign with Sean Quigley in splendid form throughout. Result is dependant on him and James McMahon but i still see them scraping through.

Sat 9th Oct 21
Senior Football Championship QF2
Belnaleck v Teemore - Belnaleck for me, having survived division 1 even after a patchy league performance they will go in as favourites. Che Cullen is the ideal man to mark Teemore's main threat in Eoin McManus, I cant see McManus having an effect as Cullen will nullify him.

Sun 10th Oct 21
Junior Football Championship QF1
Brookeboro v Coa - Not much to be said, Coa comfortably as Brookeborough's struggles continue

Intermediate Football Championship QF1
Irvinestown v Lisnaskea - One of the tighter games of all championships. Both without great league campaigns with Irvinestown relegated. Lisnaskea to win this one after a low scoring, defensive affair.

Fri 15th Oct 21
Senior Football Championship QF3
Derrygonnelly v Ederney - The obvious stand out fixture. DG will have too much firepower all over the pitch and will be out for revenge after last year's upset. DG by 5+.

Intermediate Football Championship QF2
Aghadrumsee v Belcoo - Belcoo after a low scoring game. Aghdrumsee to be relegated to junior

Sat 16th Oct 21
Junior Football Championship QF2
Donagh v Newtownbutler - Donagh by 5+, brilliant league campaign shows theyre too good for this level. Quality forwards like eamon maguire and ryan kelly mean theyre in with a shout of winning the championship

Intermediate Football Championship QF3
Derrylin v Devenish - Devenish comfortably, Derrylin will just about stay in the championship through the relegation playoffs. Will endure a tough year in div1 next year

Sun 17th Oct 21
Intermediate Football Championship QF4
Erne Gaels v Maguiresbridge - Belleek by 8+ as they are superior all over the field. Missing out on the div1 final on score difference makes them stand alone favourites for this title.

Senior Football Championship QF4
Enniskillen v Tempo - Enniskillen by 10+, Tempo really struggled in div1 and will struggle again here. A favourable draw for the Gaels in their return to senior championship.

The most ludicrous soundings coming from the Derrylin camp is they have been told to prepare for taking the Intermediates by storm and that they will make it to the the Ulster club championships.

Maybe I'm out of touch but how could the club think as such given that that div one teams are favourites to to win? I have nothing against the team players themselves but I think others around are living in cuckoo land!

I don't know where this source is from but that is hilarious if this is true.

They need to be thinking one game at a time.

Why should it be ludicrous or hilarious to be ambitious?? When two year ago when an ambitious Belnaleck played in the Senior Championship and knocked out favourites St Joe's was that to go on to make an impact was that ludicrous and hilarious ambition to?? So hillbilly and itown1234 yiou woould be better off trying to see whats the problem with your respective Teemore and Irvinestown teams before running rubbishing others.

I agree that every club should be ambitious, but speaking about playing in Ulster before overcoming the club championship is a fool's game.

We love to see an upset like Belnaleck and St joes. It's why we watch the championship.

I don't mind Derrylin. If they have a good championship run, I'll be more than happy to see it.

Result:
Fri 8th Oct 21
Senior Football Championship QF1
Kinawley 3-12 Roslea 0-10
I had my bet on the Kinawley clockers as I reckoned they would upset the applecart and they did exactly that and in style to reach the semi final by booting the Roslea cowboys out of the championship. Definitely deserved!

Result:
Sat 9th Oct 21
Senior Football Championship QF2
Belnaleck 1-11 Teemore 0-11
The Teemore hillbillies did make a late comeback but it wasn't enough as an earlier 2nd half Lewsley goal was helpful in allowing the Leckers to book their place in the semi final.

Gone are the golden days of championship football when Teemore reigned supreme in the county now they have gone to the dogs when you see the like of Belnaleck pushing them aside. What did go wrong for Teemore since?

An early 1st half goal by the Irvinestown shams left them ahead for most of the game but the Skea pansies kept pegging away to deservingly snatch a reply which will be held next week.

Let's hope for a good showing this Sat in the replay as Skea should feel much more confident. PS. Erneboy you got the nickname wrong if you were from our town you would know the old rhyme where Skea were named the dandies and it was M'bridge who were called the pansies!
