Gusserane vs Castletown to meet in the senior semi-final and St Annes to meet St Martin's in the Intermediate semi final.

2 very contrasting games in the Park today. I thought Crossabeg might shock kilanerin but it was over as a contest in about 20 minutes. Kilanerin were awesome early on, their shooting was flawless. P Hughes and Mcgonagle impressed me, S forde bagged 4 goals and the game was up for crossabeg.
Shels took a while to get started but when they did they were in control. Gorey had a few fine performers, especially Fitzpatrick, but shels experience told and they looked very tight as a team. Dorans red card was a killer for Gorey. Nothing else to report really, but
I thought P Foley was v lucky to stay on for crossabeg, his tackle on Kinsella was a potential leg-breaker.

Forde scoring 4 goals for Kilanerin? Where have we seen that before?
Is he a relation?

Kilanerin can take teams apart if you allow them to run at you. CB have good fooballers but perhaps not the tactis yet to crack on into the top 4. Castletown are masters at the defensive game so I suspect the Gusserane scoring machine will come under a lot of pressure. Still impressive scorelines from all the winning teams. Top 4 at the start of the year are still the top 4. Hard to pick the winners.

Dead right zinny, most people's pick for the top 4 are through. For me, castletown & gusserane are the 2 best I've seen this year, just a pity ( for neutrals) that they meet in semi.
Could be 2 cracking semi finals though.

Think everyone expected the final 4, the only way it wasn't going to happen would have been if 2 had of met in a QF. If the weather is really good for the SFs I think Gusserane and Kilanerin have a chance. If not I'd fancy Castletown and Shels.

St Annes can concentrate on Football for sure. Still wouldn't surprise me if Adamstown won it though.

Looking towards this weekends games:

Kilanerin/Tara Rocks v Shelmaliers.
I think the four best teams this year are into the semis but I expect Kilanerin to win this battle. They seem to be heading in the right direction and play a nice brand of football. Have been strong in U21 past few years also and this might be there breakthrough year. Shels are always there or there abouts, have a massive population base and have been replicating that by continually competing at senior level in both hurling and football. Kilanerin by 6.

Castletown v Gusserane
Really looking forward to this game, the game of the weekend for me. Gusserane have been putting in a massive amount into there football this year and its been showing dividends, as they have breezed through the group and quarter final stage. Castletown can never be written off but I think Gusserane will be spurred on by last years loss and I think they will win this one.

Intermediate

Martins v St Annes
Two former senior clubs, the winner of this for me will go on and win the final. With the Martins still in the hurling, their focus will be on that so I think the Annes will win.

Adamstown v Ballyhogue
Both strong football areas, Adamstown impressive against Clongeen in the quarters, going to say Adamstown by 5.

Inter A

Cloughbawn v Bannow-Ballymitty
Cloughbawns semi could of went anyway but they won there penalty shootout and are in the final. Bannow are probably a bit more seasoned and will have been concenbtrsting on football for a while, going to go with Bannow.

Junior

Buffers Alley v Our Ladys Island
The Island wil have been concentrating on football for a while while the Alley will only start kicking a bit this week. Going to go with the Island

Blackwater v Castletown
Going to say Blackwater as its their first team but i'd imagine it will be tight. Castletown going to try and achieve a Rathnure for three finals as they are in Junior B semis also.

I've a feeling it will be a Gusserane v Kilanerin final, agree Annes v Adamstown for Intermediate.

I would agree. In junior I would go with the Alley and Blackwater.
