Leinster Football Championship

(Oldest Posts First)

Championship is starting Saturday/Sunday. Dublin are big favourites as usual but I think it'll be more competitive with louth meath offaly and kildare all getting a bit better. Leinster semi out of croke park which is about time. What do ye think?

The only issue is who will play Dublin in the Final?
Will it be a TC team - Kildare, Offaly or Westmeath?
Thus sending Louth to the TC.
Should Wicklow, Wexford, Longford and Carlow be consigned to an Intermediate Championship

Dublin can only play Louth Wexford Laois WMeath Kildare in final

Offaly are same side of the draw

We beat Offaly in the Leinster Championship 3 years ago and in the TC year before last. If we have to play in an Intermediate Championship then so probably would Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford Leitrim and Sligo. Which would mean you would have to amalgamate the Munster and Connacht Senior Championships to get enough games in them. You could have a 6 team Western Championship then which would be reasonably competitive once you got to the semi finals.
