Ciaran Duggan apparently sustained a broken wrist in club action for Annaghdown this evening, won't be seen again for the rest of the summer if those initial reports are correct.
He's been good this year so it's a fair hit to Galway's squad depth ahead of the Super 8 matches but it might give the likes of Michael Daly a way back in now.

So the groups are
Kerry, Galway,  Laois/Qualifier, Fermanagh/Qualifier.

Donegal, Dublin, Cork/Qualifier, Ros/Qualifier.
Ros/Q homega to Donegal in game 2 and away to Dublin game 3.
How many does Parnell Park hold?

We're going to bring home the SAM

Interesting, despite the permutations to come, the provincial winners know their next opponents.

Croke Park is the Neutral venue. ;)

Thanks bunker, and still they gazed and still their wonder grew.

Dublin and Donegal could be played in Clones or Breffni as a neutral venue.
Kerry/Galway or Cork/Rosc in Limerick.
who knows what combination will be in the other game.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

There is no mention of "neutral venue" in any of the Super 8 rules and regulations.

Provincial champions play each other in Croke Park. Qualifiers play each other in Croke Park. This means that every team is guaranteed one game in Croke Park, with the corollory that as Dublin has nominated Croke Park as their home venue, we are guaranteed two.

Maybe the rules need to be changed.

Hasn't been a great year for "home advantage" in the qualifiers. 15 games (1 was neutral) 2 home wins,  13 away wins. Plus Connacht and Munster finals, home teams lost. If it had been the opposite I can imagine the articles on it.

The Indo has it the way Owen had it. Presume the GAA website is the right version. Although not sure we can 100% count on that.

We haven't even played this yet, and already we need a rule change. They knew this was going to happen so there will be no appetite to change it. Its a ridiculous situation.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

The provincial winners play each other first up in Croker on the weekend of 14/15 July that's already decided.

Have there been any changes to the season ticket structure with the Super 8s coming in this year, or do the same rules apply as in previous years?
Was just thinking of the likelihood that the Kildare/Mayo qualifier game will be switched from Newbridge as the capacity is restricted and season ticket holders from Mayo have to be accommodated.
Probably won't be an issue in the Super 8s as the teams likely to be involved have adequate county grounds, capacity-wise.
If you were any use you'd be playing.
