I would think that no one will have the correct winning margin in the Galway v London match.

I thought I was going in a little strong at Galway by 18!

What you all really meant was Wicklow by 1. Up the Garden - the coupon busters.

Honestly would not have seen that coming! Wicklow must have been 5, 6/1?

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Westmeath might be the story of the Leinster championship. Good chance of making the final and then the quarter finals. Definitely on upward curve, in contrast to the others."
This year or next year!

Didn't back Cavan but it was another match where the punters got it all wrong. It's worth having a closer look if you follow the games rather than listen to some lad who spends about 30 seconds thinking about it before putting it in a ridiculous accumulatator.


Wicklow was different as form suggested a handy Westmeath win., Biggest upset of year to date, excpet maybe Waterford although Tipp on rapidly downward spiral since 2020.

Tbh I got all 3 results wrong on Lockjaws predictions thread!

I had tipped Cavan to win, simply because it was a local derby and Monaghan are struggling at the moment. Waterford winning never crossed my mind (I don't think anyone else though that either). I was going to chance a win for Wicklow but I chickened out at the last minute. Dessie Dolan saying that every team deserves to play for the Sam Maguire sounds very hollow now because even in the old format they would be gone by this evening.

Hi folks, apologies for the mix up not initially including London v Galway. But I think most posters got their extra point having predicted a Glaway win, but not the whopping 27 point winning margin.

Hi Lockjaw.I think I should have 10points.I predicted the correct winning margin of 15 points for Mayo v New York so thats 5points plus a point each for Cork Galway Sligo Meath and Wexford wins.
