Any predictions for the games this weekend. Ballybay could be going down for the first time in what, 15 years?

Finlay retiring and Drew being injured leaves them well under strength but you'd imagine they've enough in the tank to stay up. Fair play to them all the same, a small parish but they get the most out of themselves and put a lot of bigger parishes to shame.

League semi finals on too, hard to see clubs taking these seriously or putting out their best players this close to championship. Id imagine Scotstown in particular will be fielding a second string side and wrapping their main men in cotton wool, a cynical mind would say they could get targeted this weekend with championship right around the corner..

Your own club should worry about getting out of junior first

But nobody said they would be worried. They said it would be interesting and it will be.

But on your point they were worried enough last time or am I wrong?

Would Ballybay really be classed as a small parish? Surly they have a decent pick do they not?

The cynical mind comment is a bit outdated if what im told by two refs that have been in charge of matches with "that" team this year. Guess time will tell though.

Hardly worried the last time. Sure they well use to giving clones a headstart only for them to collapse

Blaney were outplayed , they got back into the game off the back of a poor call which should have been a very makable 2pointer free to put them 8 up instead Blaney got the free a goy a goal from it and from that kickout the keeper put it straight to the full forward with an open goal.
