Didn't see a thread for this...
Tipp beat Kerry
Fermanagh beat Derry
Antrim beat Donegal
Year of the underdog so far!
(Incidentally when was the last time Fermanagh won a minor game?)
Absolute corker of a game yesterday at the Athletic grounds from what appeared to be two very good teams. Stunning comeback from Armagh too who looked dead and buried with 20 minutes to go. They will need to improve their full back line in terms of preventing goal scoring opportunities to really challenge this year but they have the makings of a really good team. Games like yesterday though show how stupid it is for their to be no back door in this championship (and this from a man who hates the back door)

Saw Cork 3 weeks ago. Cork's to lose in my view. What do they feed them on down there? They are absolutely massive and can really play as well. Cussen's younger brother plays for them and he is bigger then his brother already!!

This came up on another tread. Ulster is the only province not to have one. Other provinces allow first round losers back in.
