these group of 3 are a nonsense - are st endas or Rossa going to go thru with a draw and a loss and no wins?

2 from the group go through, if Rossa win or draw or lose by 4 points they go through

If Rossa lose by 6 they are out, if they lose by 5 I'd imagine there will be a play off game to see who goes through

It's better than Derry where for some reason everyone goes through!

How can everyone go through? How does that work?

What is wrong with Ricky?

I would imagine Ricky Johnston is a big loss too. I'd be very surprised were it not Cargin won it this year.

Is he not away? I thought that was why he dropped off the Antrim panel to play in the States? I could be wrong

4 groups of 4, groups are just used for seeding of the knockout round.

Eg finish 1st in your group you play 4th from another group in first KO game, 2nd plays 3rd.

I thought he was away? I haven't seen him on the teams unless I'm missing him. Maybe he'll be back for later assuming Creggan are still in it.

There ya go,  don't get to see us as much these days

[imtommygunn]

Ah. That's good - I'd like to see them and Cargin with best teams and see who wins.

In effect the county final in other words....

I'm not just buying that atm, LD Johnnie's, possibly Rossa could all upset that notion on any given day with full panels together and maybe home advantage.

Still happy enough with my EW investment at 12/1though - wouldn't be swapping that for any other ticket.

[Rodger Mona]

BS who did you manage to get at 12/??

Saw ports now down to 5/1, must be getting heavily backed. Johnnies out to 14/1 after LD defeat.

Im sure anyone of the teams who are on the other side of the draw will give themselves a puncherschance should they make the final and hope one of the big 5 who make it get complacent.

[imtommygunn]

LD could but I don't think the rest could.

Of course you are happy with that bet, the bookie clearly never seen the draw

In the last 7 years Cargin 5 times, Lamh Dhearg&Creggan one each outside of these 3 teams no one else has shown a thing.
I keep hearing Rossa mentioned at times they have done next to nothing in championship in 30 plus years.
Johnnies last title in 1998 also
Casements won't be tested until the final but I'd say the champions will come from the tougher side.
