It's a big game alright, wouldn't want to be travelling to Wexford or Aughrim badly needing a win to avoid D******* F***. Wouldn't be all that confident of our chances, reaction or otherwise, Cavan seem to be going well for a change. Will be there anyway.

Added results for the weekend's fixtures, what results there are. Seems a good few games didn't go ahead. Pity ours did!

I think the Reverend sums up my view on this issue:

Results from the weekend, given that the county site appears to be down or something like that:


Doesn't include the 2B results, all two of them, Mary's beat Easkey 0-14 to 2-0 (IIRC) and Ballisodare beat Farnan's 3-5 to 0-13. That league possibly won't go the distance.

The Interediate Championship draw, for those who care (Seanie obviously not being one of them ):

A (the reserves group) - Eastern Harps, Curry, Tourlestrane, Ballisodare
B - St. Farnan's, St. Pat's, Drumcliffe
C - Cloonacool, St. Michael's, St. Molaise Gaels
D - Owenmore Gaels , Enniscrone , St. Mary's , Coolaney/Mullinabreena .

Group D the hardest called there, hard one for us to emerge from. Plus the favourites await the likely group runners-up, could have been better.

Predictions:
SFC Group A - Eastern Harps and St. Mary's (assuming John's honour their feeder club commitments).
B - Curry and Coolera/Strandhill
C - Easkey and Geevagh (wide open though).
D - Tourlestrane and Bunninadden.

IFC Group A - Eastern Harps and Curry.
B - Farnan's and Pat's.
C - Grange and Michael's.
D - Mullinabreena and Enniscrone (obviously hoping otherwise).

The draws for the Senior/Intermediate Championships are taking place on Friday night in Tubbercurry. Will post them up over the weekend.

A group with Ballisodare and Tourlestrane will do nicely.

What Sligo IT beating DIT Norf Tyrone? Don't think it's a surprise, given that said college won the thing in 2002, 04 and 05. Only went out last year in the QF to Jordanstown on penalties! One of the leading contenders still.

Regarding Taylor the younger, I can't see him making the desired impact, has had two seasons already and has never really impressed. A South Sligoman myself FYI Sligonian (the handle should show that), and from talking to some of the Harps crew, they tend to be in agreement. That aside, plenty of competition in the panel, good win given the circumstances but Meath Sunday week is a big test, win and we could do well. O'Hara would want to cool it, even though as Seanie stated elsewhere, the refs are pricks.

Sligo IT beat DIT by about 7 points.
