Portlaoise v Kilmacud Crokes TG4

[Hound]

I see Niall Corkery has moved to London for work reasons. Gilroy has said that his intercounty career is over (unless he comes home at some stage). Not sure whether he'll come over for this weekend. He'd been carrying an injury over Christmas anyway.

The Kildare Juniors hammered Kilmacud on Friday night.

Jacko McCormack went to town on their full-back line apparently.

Mixed views about this game. Usually hope the Dublin teams do well but would really like Rhode to win it this time. They certainly deserve it.
For selfish reasons  would prefer to have the Crokes' lads playing the NFL for Dublin.

Having said that would fear (an irrarional hunch)for Rhode playing "Cross" in the semi final.
