You'd be safer giving it to Sean Og.

Fancy the harps and the ford for a couple of upsets 2night

I was Ballyhollands biggest critic but by god they have surprised me this year. Off the bottom of the table and in the quarter final of the championship. They should have beat us in the first match and you know what they are playing a decent brand of football. It's a pity they didn't do that 5/6 years ago when murtagh Murphy Campbell mccrink etc were in there pomp.

Loughinisland 16/1 & CPN @ 10/1 are the value bets
Hope no men actually believed this sh*te 😅

I'd suggest that in order to underachieve you have to be clearly better than your opponents at least occasionally, but never do it on the big day.

That's been a few clubs in Down in my lifetime, but it's never been Ballyholland in senior football. Not yet.

What are you saying Wobbler because I can't make sense of your post?

ApresMatch

He's saying that they didn't underachieve; quite the opposite!

Interested to read in Irish News that Conor Laverty is part of Banty's backroom team at Monaghan.  No doubt the Farney men remember his second half performance against them in the 2012 Ulster semi final.

Talking to a few Burren men yesterday at Croker, they are dying to get Carryduff next round.. Obviously very confident about tonight's game.. I feel Rostrever could cause an upset

Centre 3/4

Don't think Carryduff would fear Burren either.....

If burren play as bad as they did against Castlewellan they could be in trouble
