Tailteann Cup 2023 - Rules from GAA Master Fixtures List

[imtommygunn]

Cavan v Down
Limerick v Laois
Antrim v Carlow
Meath v Wexford

[yellowcard]

Can see 4 home wins in this although Down and Laois might have the best chances of causing an upset. If the draw works out I'd expect a Cavan v Meath final. 

[Milltown Row2]

Cavan big favourites I'd have thought

Downs 17 wides against Meath may have cost them dearly.

Downs 17 wides against Meath may have cost them dearly.

Not sure about that.

If the season's objective was to last as long as possible in the competition, perhaps. But if the objective is to actually win the trophy, then at some time Down are going to have to face off against the best side(s) in the competition. And given the smaller crowds, reduced pressure, and the occasionally questionable desire of many players to win Tailteann until it's very close, I'd say Down are more likely to topple Cavan in a quarter final, than later in the comp.

If the Down that we played in Newry on Sat night turn up in Breffni then they'll be beat out the game.

All home wins for me.

[Pub Bore]

Down, Antrim, Meath, Limerick.

Will the Semi finals be in Croke Park as they were last year?

[Dreadnought]

Will the Semi finals be in Croke Park as they were last year?

Don't think so. The plan always was to have the semis there first year, and only the final there the years after. Saying that, if there is a semi final pairing that ties in nicely with a Sam preliminary quarter final or outright quarter final (4 teams from similar areas, teams who'd would fill the place up nicely) then you'd never know.

Breffni Park busy this weekend, as will be Cavan town.

We seem to have a settled starting 15 now. Still very young and light on senior experience. While it's probably expected that we would get this far we haven't blown teams away which would suggest we're not above playing in the TC. Hopefully we don't get too comfortable here and start making moves up the table and permanently in Sam Maguire.

Hopefully a decent crowd shows up tomorrow.

A real battle between the fallen aristocrats of Ulster football in prospect.
