First Wave of County Championships - Hurling

[Lone Shark]

Hi,

Just letting ye know that I've started to do county championships. Obviously I couldn't do them all in one go, so for the moment I have 12 football and 5 hurling ones done. Any of the counties that have games on this coming weekend have been left for the moment, I'll try to get most of them next week. They should all be up on Ladbrokes' site by mid afternoon tomorrow - if i've made any booboos, I'd appreciate it if ye'd have a bet yereselves and then let me know, that way ye get a few quid and I don't get hosed and fired.

For any of the championships not covered, it's largely because of the lack of information available on the web. Generally I'd need reliable results and fixtures as well as 2006 results and current league form - so if somebody from for argument's sake Donegal or Limerick is unhappy at being left out, just show me a link and I'll work on it.

I won't be taking huge bets on many of these championships, so my apologies if you want a grand on, but unless it's one of the championships that I'm very happy about (or else at 1/2 or so) that won't be happening. After all it's not like these are available anywhere else. I should be able to raise the stakes over time.

Anyway, here goes......

Is Brian Corcoran lining out for Erin's Own or has he retired completely. You need to know these things before betting at local level. The odds for Antrim look about right on results so far.

Looking at the KK clubs, I'm surprised that Glenmore aren't listed. What has happened them in the last 10-15 years? Has it all went pear shaped since big Christy, Michael Phealan and the O'Connors etc retired? I thought with that lineage it would still be a pedigree club

[milltown row]

yea we also need to know formats are counties running with straight knockouts or leagues/groups

skull give me the team that lined out against Lamhs? did you rest Ally? need to do home work on your visit, malloy getting a goal? playing midfield is he?

Antrim Finalists decided this weekend - a grudge match of the highest order on October 7th at Casement.

Dunloy v Loughgiel

No doubt the dream final for the county board coffers
