Q/F

3/6/2017
Carlow/Wexford v Dublin O'Moore Park/Wexford Park

4/6/2017
Louth/Wicklow v Meath Parnell Park/Aughrim
Laois/Longford v Kildare O'Connor Park

11/6/2017
Offaly v Westmeath O'Connor Park

Obviously Dublin are going to win it but Louth, Kildare and Meath will all fancy meeting them in the final, all had good league campaigns. The possible Louth v Meath quarter is hard to call, Louth with a 1st round game under their belt will fancy it. Kildare should be too strong for Longford who I fancy to beat a Laois side low on confidence. Offaly/Westmeath will be tight but Westmeath are a good championship side and had a good league albeit in division 4 and that defeat to Armagh will haunt this Offaly side. Wouldn't be surprised to see Carlow win the south east derby but would fear for either in their quarter-final.

Should see a few more Leinster teams than normal in round three of the qualifiers.

Looking forward to the usual attacking football. The way the game should be played.

Hate to tell you this Dinny, but there's a gypsy curse on Kildare this year.
You're going to lose to Longford.
Best €2 I ever spent.

Offaly/Westmeath have no Round 1 game yet the other 3 Qtr Finals are being played before them??
Any logic for that?

Coulda sworn this competition had went the way of the Railway cup

Probably to give the Dubs an extra weeks recovery. As if they didn't have enough advantages.
