That's correct. Don't forget about a draw between Sligo,Roscommon which would mean the same teams play again in the semi final and Galway into the final.



Yes so Sligo could face of any of the 3 in the semi final.

How does home and away work for semi final and final? If it goes by the league, we get Mayo and Roscommon away or Galway at home? I think it should be based on last knock out match.

Semi final June 26th Wednesday
Final July 5th

Sligo are effectively already qualified for the semi final regardless of what happens next week in their game as Mayo can't improve on 4 points and Sligo have the edge in that head to head.
Realistically the chance of Galway not beating Leitrim is slim.

Goes by the league.

Anyone at the Mayo v Galway game? Another bad day at the office for a Mayo team against Galway. Getting sick of these lately.

Sligo and Galway win - Galway in final Sligo v mayo in sf
Rosc and Galway win - Rosc in final, Sligo v Galway

So unless Galway lose which is unlikely, we will be in the semi- final.

We might pick up a few fans from Mayo next week  ;) ;) ;) ;)
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not too sure.

So basically Sligo have little incentive to go and beat Roscommon next week, which is bad news for us unfortunately.

The 'magic' of the round robin!

For the Rossies, this is the equivalent of an actual semi-final
WIN - into the final
LOSE - out
DRAW - re play Sligo in the semi final

Whereas for Sligo, it's borderline meaningless
WIN - into semi
LOSE - into semi
DRAW - into semi
Just different opposition for each scenario!

Sligo losing will give them home advantage for the semi final while a draw or win and they will be away to Roscommon or Mayo. Food for thought there.

Last game of John Kerins U-20 Cup

Galway 2-17 Dublin 1-7

Kildare v Kerry was called off I believe.

Blowitupref

Never a good sign for these new trial competitions when games are called off. Tyrone v Roscommon and now Kildare v Kerry. Surely a shield section would avoid such postponements.

 
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Proof again that the people who say the GDO 'financial doping' is the reason Dublin are dominant are morons

Well done Galway.
Worrying for Dublin, we should be better than that with the pick we have.

Caveat here being it was a dead rubber in terms of the tournament itself so who knows how strong of a team dublin fielded.

That was my immediate thought alright.
