Yes, it appears with Galway minors they improve with each game, it will be interesting to see how they go in the QF, any idea who they play.

As for the senior game, looking down the subs bench there are many players who can come in and not weaken and indeed maybe strenghten the starting 15. Its the strongest panel we have fielded in some time.

Really strong looking team, great to see walsh and mcdaid starting, daly at 6 adds alot to the team with his kick passing. 5 in a row would be a fantastic achievement but an all Ireland is the main goal for this group. hopefully Flaherty is the answer to the kick out problem as that will need to be sorted if we're going to have a crack at Sam

As I said on here yesterday All-Ireland Minor quarter-final against the Ulster champions next. Tyrone probably the favourites to win out but Derry,Monaghan are strong also.

Good see o flaherty at wing forward think it's a positive move not sure 2 be honest about Daly at centre back the last few times molloy has picked up enda smith and done ok on him but the way game is gone now it's the team u finish with is often the stronger one I'd say Hernon , Tierney, comer o Laoi definitely see game time and either McGrath or Mulhern who are both good kick passers which u need es when comer comer in no point having him in there if slow hand passing o Laoi , McGrath and Mulhern are good kick passers, definitely need to watch Ross kickouts the ones over the midfield press that's how they open up mayo and how they got goal in league v Galway wing backs need to read flight of ball and not get caught under it

Oughterard and Litir mor are destined for the drop back to division 2 in the league, both have lost 5 out of 5. They look bit out if their depth at the minute, I would have thought Oughterard would be more competitive? I get LM are missing a key forward/Midfieder. Claregalway going well, 4 wins from 4. As always Tuam Stars look rock solid in the league while Milltown are staying there by the skin of their teeth with 1 win and a draw from 5 and are lucky the other teams are going bad.

League Winners prediction: Corofin
Relegated: Oughterard & Naomh Anna Lm

Signs look positive that Dunmore will make the jump to Div 1 for next year, sitting top after beating Annaghdown tonight. St James started brightly enough but are fading a bit. M/M and Dunmore look like they will avoid each other in the semi finals.

Promotion prediction: Dunmore and M/M
Relegated: Breathnachs & Monivea-Abbey or Bearna.

Killannin are flying in 3A, couldn't pick who else might get promoted there.
