It's a fair point by another poster that while Loman's are red hot favourites and have strolled through the championship their displays on county final day in recent years throw some doubts about them. In 2018 they were beaten by Shamrocks, Garrycastle in 2019 despite Loman's leading by 9-10 at one stage, the finals they won in 2020 and 2021 were won despite being poor by their standards for first game vs Garrycastle and in closing stages versus Tyrrellspass, last year was similar to 2018 in that a hungrier team outfought them and deservedly won. The key Loman's players will be aware of these performances and will either produce a massive display where they'll win by ten points or more or else it will be cagey and tight which gives the red and whites a fighting chance. Kinnegad are young, hungry and have a decent bench, they also have a very capable and experienced management team. Don't rule out a replay.

Replying To A_Chairde: "Lomans are massive favourites, their experience in finals (contested 10 out of the last 11) along with their inter county standard forward line make them hard to overlook. There is always huge pressure on them to deliver a title every year with the players they have at their disposal and they dont handle it very well on the big day so you never know. One thing compared to previous years I dont think they are as good depth wise, Kelvin Reilly was brought on in semi final for first appearance this year, a brilliant footballer but what does that say for the rest of the lads left on the bench. I get the impression that Dowdall is worried about his defence bringing in Kelvin now. In the league final Kinnegad made them look very average at the back, their full back especially has looked very poor in games Ive seen." The likes of TJ Cox, Kelvin Reilly, Ryan Jones and Conor o Donoghue on the bench shows me that they do have a strength in depth

ok for me St Lomans to win by 4pts in Senior. Just experience will get them over the line. Would be great to see Kinnegad win.
Malachys to win by 2 pts. If David Lynch doesn't play for Malachys, it would be a huge loss. does anyone know if he's in or out. Did he play with Castletown at weekend.
Kilbeggan to win by 2pt in Junior.

A big loss
