Interesting one for us this weekend. St Pats have started the season very well, while we took a tanking at home. Dorsey will probably nick it, but it should be close and hard-hitting.

My picks for this weekend:
St Pats
Harps
Killeavy and MBawn to draw
Cross
Cullaville

[IVEDECIDED]

Mullaghbawn
cross to draw
clans
st.Pats
culloville

Correct son!!

Dromintee
Clans
Mullaghbawn
Cross
Cullaville

Ogs to beat cross by 4/5 points

The Ogs must be going well this year. Have they got it in them to challenge Cross later in the season when it matters or is it another false dawn?

False Dawn Only messin. This is the year for a new breakthrough in armagh, cross will be beat this year...

Being serious i think Clans, Ogs, Dromintee and maybe Harps are all pretty much on Par with each other and it's all about who wants it the most on the day. Any 1 of those 4 teams could beat Cross in this years championship. I know I've said it before on here and yes Cross are still a formidable force but now that Oisin, the Mac twins, Donaldson, Bellew are getting on a bit and they have some miles in the legs Cross will not be the same team without them men. Don't get me wrong they will still be the team to beat every year but they will not win the championship every year the way they have been doing so.

Do any of you agree?

I think they will be taken this year - but only if the Clans and the Ogs amalgamate!!

They can't keep winning it every year. But its just very hard to see them getting beat plus the fact that they have a cracking underage structure churning out good players.

Go back to Eire Og or wherever you came from son as you talk some keek...I thought you were starting to be sensible for a while there

They will be beaten and I think it may be this year. I think they only ones fit for it are the Ogs and the Clans. The Harps or Dromintee havent the goolies for it and Mullaghbawn havent the players  - which is unfortunate cause they do have the goolies! The Clans would need a lot to go right for them but are capable of making this happen and a big strength they have is they certainly arent overwhelmed by Cross like other temas are. The Ogs are in a better position than most with the panel they have but my problem with them is that they never seem to play anywhere near as well as their team sheet suggests they might do.

I love when this old chestnut pops up.  I thougt when the draw was made that this would be Dromintees year to beat them.  I tought they would get them on the bounce as I thought the first round would have been at the normal end April/start May. 
With it being pushed back this suits Cross better than anyone as not only do they have the best first 15, they have a second string which would make most teams, but they are young.
A few games under the belt in the league will bring them on and the squad will only get stronger.  They could be beaten but it will take a situation where everything goes right for a team and Cross have a very bad day.  Can't see it happening to be honest.
