Dromore look over priced there (as long as they aren't thrown out as Jerome says)

No price for Errigal?

I think it's a tad disrespectful thinking none of these teams can beat cross. Ballinderry should have done it last year after dominating the second half whilst a man down, mayobridge and omagh have had a few ulster underage teams surely they could be challenging soon maybe a year or 2 too early though? saint galls are capable of a better performance than last year. Dromore, if they're not thrown out, are capable of an upset but their road to glory would take some performances and upsets. And if errigal were somehow to manage to scrape through well aren't they the cross slaying machine.

Og's will win Armagh, overdo the celebrations and fall short in Ulster!

[LeoMc]

Every team has 15 players, 4/5 isn't great odds for one game when playing teams that have already won several games against good teams, never mind good odds for 5 games!

It may not be great odds, but as these teams fall and Cross are still in the competition then you will not get these odds the rest of the year. With greatest respect to the teams left I can't see Cross getting beat. Are you saying that Cross have regressed from last year?

Any team missing Jamie Clarke would be weaker for it.

The price on Cross is appealing. Does anyone really think a team that has won the last two All-Irelands and six of the last eight Ulsters has less than a 55.6% chance of winning Ulster again?

They would overdo the celebrations, lets be honest It's hard to see any team stopping Crossmaglen in Armagh.

It's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility. If they manage to avoid Pearse Og in Armagh then I'd certainly agree, but IIRC Ogs are the last (Ulster?) team to have beaten Cross in championship. If these two teams meet, I'd fancy Og's with their ace up their sleeve, slightly ahead of Cross.

Lisnaskea 1-12 St. Patrick's Donagh 1-11

St. Pat's Barry Little and Paul Curran of Lisnaskea battle for possession at Brewster Park tonight.


Lisnaskea are through to the Fermanagh Senior Football Championship Final following a one point victory over neighbours St. Patrick's at Brewster Park tonight.

This was a game that was right in the balance to the death with Pat Cadden and Shane McDermott both kicking wides for St. Pat's in the final moments, albeit from difficult chances as the Emmetts held on to progress.

It took 14 minutes for the first score of the game to be registered as Paul Cosgrove clipped over.

But it was Lisnaskea who began to take control as Daniel Kille and Aidy Little landed points before Mark Smyth's deflected shot looped over Patrick Quaile in the St. Pat's goal and into the back of the net.

With Kille lofting over a further couple of points, Lisnaskea appeared to be cruising as they moved into 1-05 to 0-02 lead by the 26th minute but St. Pat's responded in the closing minutes of the half with Cosgrove tucking a low shot to the net to leave it 1-05 to 1-03 at the interval.

And three points on the bounce from Cadden, Eamon Maguire and Cadden again put the Donagh men ahead early in the second half.

Brian Óg Maguire fisted over for Lisnaskea but Cadden and Marty O'Reilly replied for St. Pat's who led 1-08 to 1-06.

Lisnaskea though then had a good spell that saw them rattle over three points to go one ahead and St. Pat's chances were further hit as Ruairi McGrade was dismissed after picking up two yellow cards.

The influential Mark Little was heavily involved as Lisnaskea moved into a 1-12 to 1-09 advantage, Kille again among the points but St. Pat's rallied in the latter stages and after Cadden left two between them, Marty O'Reilly had a goal chance that he blazed over the bar.

St. Pat's continued to press in added on time but Lisnaskea managed to hang on as Mark Henry's side reached their first senior championship final since 1994.

Derry Senior Football Chamionship
Glenullin 1-04  Banagher 1-12

Banagher v Glenullin. Probably the draw the 2 teams wanted. Glenullin were awful on Saturday. Their midfield was terrible therefore no balls went into the full forward line to cause damage.If PJ McCloskey can perform the way he did on Sunday then hopefully the same thing will happen against Banagher (says the Banagher men). Banagher showed a lot of fight to come from 5 behind with 15mins to go against Steelstown to win by 4. Glenullin were lucky against Loup the second day, and were caught out by Kelly and Patsy on Saturday, I think their lives are all used up. Going for a surprise and Banagher.

Banagher were 21/10 to win.
