What are we thinking for next weekends games? First round hard to tell where teams are at. I feel this year could be like the inter-county season and the most competitive in years! Here are my (rough) predictions for next weekend.

Senior Section A
Garrycastle V Coralstown Kinnegad - Kinnegad (Just about. GCastle dangerous with Gardiner back)
Na Dunta V St Loman's - Lomans (Downs without luke and Lynam)
Mullingar Shamrocks V Caulry - Shamrocks (Caulry struggling anyway and no senan or cmac)

Senior Section B
Tyrrellspass V Killucan - killucan (tough one to call)
Tang V Athlone - Athlone
Moate All Whites V Tubberclair - Tubberclair (I fancy them to do well this year)

Is there going to be a podcast reviewing the start up of the football championship this weekend?Id imagine there willl be a few county players missing for their clubs so who will be affected most? Luke and Johnny Lynam missing for the Downs.Matty Whitakker missing for Tubberclaire.Senan Baker and Conor McCormack gone from Caulry.Is Danny Scahill available?Is Ray Connellan fit to play?All big players who will be missed.Maybe some of the clubs have deeeper squads than others and will cope but some will definately not.

Matthew Whittaker had surgery so I assume could possibly return for the later knockout stages should Tubberclair make it that far. Senan Baker and Daniel Scahill both played for Galway Boston last weekend.
