Was on the Paddy Power website there and noticed that they have the betting in for the club championships in football and hurling. Crossmaglen are 8/15 St Galls are 1/7 Cargin 7/2 Pearse Og 7/4 St Vincents 5/4 Corifin 4/5, loads of other prices out there also.
could we get a handle on who you think will win your county championhips in hurling and football?
I'd find it difficult to look past Cross in Armagh. Only lost one match in the League all year. The Ógs will struggle to get Ronan Clarke fit I would have thought. If so, you'd have to fancy the Rangers.
Westmeath odds not up at the moment, but were a couple of weeks ago. Garrycastle were about even money at the time. They will win it more than likely. Evens is actually good odds on them if you can get it. Mullingar Shamrocks have the players to challenge them and were about 3/1, but they have failed to deliver previous years. Nobody else has a hope, in my opinion.

Funny how the team that beat them is an intermediate side... says a lot about Armagh football!
I would expect the main challengers to be Pearse Og and Dromintee, and maybe yourselves as an outside bet. Very impressed with you're recent form.
Yes heard they were playing well. Point to prove this year (though their record is amazing) Corifin and Portlaois could also be contenders.
no value for us, Cargin great value at 7/2
clontibert and Nemo could all be added

Nemo may benefit from having less on the Cork panel than previous years. Think they only have 3. Masters has a point to prove no doubt.

Must say I'm optimistic myself. very good run over the past 2 months and the defeat on Friday night won't have done us a button of harm. That said, Cullyhanna v Clans is a 50 / 50 match but if we can get past that one and avoid Cross in the draw you never know where we'd end up. Might have a small wager on us at 25/1.

Says more about the lack of fairness where Division 1 teams in Armagh can play intermediate.
I backed An Riocht in the Down SFC.
Real outsiders at 16/1 but they did win Div 1 a couple of years ago and have 3 or 4 men on the County team. With Marty Clarke back and in form I think they are great value at 16/1.
aye but pedigree usually comes to the fore and they are a bit young (of late) in terms of winning championships.
but at that price good value.
who'll come out of Tyrone? Dromore, Ardboe Carrickmore?
Tyrone championship hard to call.I would say 6 of the 8 remaining teams are good enough to win it,but personally i think Dromore are still the team to beat.
In Dublin imo
Football Klmacud Crokes
Hurling BBSE

If Cross and Ogs end up in the same half of the draw there's a county final spot there for the taking for any one of 5 or 6 teams. 25/1 is good value. The Ogs have a few injuries and they were men possessed last year, will they have the same fight in them this year - I personally doubt it. Hard to know where the Harps are at, mxing the very good with the really bad in nearly every game.
Antrim Hurling Championship
Dunloy 15/8
Cushendall 9/4
Loughgiel 9/4
Glenariffe 13/2
Ballycastle 9/1
O'Donovan Rossa 12/1
very competitive market.
Castlebar Mitchels in Mayo probably. :-\

It really must be Loughgiel's turn?
Btw, forgot to say that it is looking llike all AFL/AHL leagues will be finished by early September in Dublin.
We have only 1 hurling and 2 football games left............... both scheduled for August.
Championships will of course meander into November.
Cross are an absolute cert in Armagh @8/13 empty your bank account
I would go for Ardboe (clearly focused after last years late goal) and Loughstone in the Down county championship.
Big wager on cross and a small treble on the others

Of whom are these big clubs? Ballina Stephenites have a tradition of getting themselves out of a hole when necessary and have to do just that on Saturday evening. Crossmolina Deel Rovers are missing Nallen, McDonald and a raft of others that they will hardly win the Moclair Cup. Knockmore MIGHT do it, if the players play to their potential.
don't be surprised if Ogs come good in the championship with most of their team returning from injury and if they can get over the bawn tricky hurdle clarke and anto will be back for quarters. obviously cross are the team to beat followed by dtee and st pats, cant see any other winning contenders after that. cargin will push st galls hard this year, coalisland as an outside bet for tyrone, magheracloone for mhan, bridge for down.
An Riocht cut to 12/1 for the Down SFC on Paddy Power.
It must have been my £2 that moved the market!
The bookies are nearly always spot on in Tyrone anyway which means Errigal Ciaran. I myself, not being partasaned in anyway reckon the winners will come from Carrickmore Dromore quarter final.
I have a Carrickmore, Cargin and An Riocht treble done. It would be a nice wee return!

Have Loughinisland and Longstone amalgamated without telling us?
Shea lad you are obviously a genius :o
While you are trying to work out who i meant you might want to throw a few bob on Maghery at 8/11 for their first round game
Would fancy Burren to sneak past Loughinisland. Been told that Liatrom have been at it like demons with some rugby fella taking them so they might cause an upset v longstone.
In Armagh fancy Maghery to take Clann Eireann, Nab to beat Killeavy, Dromintee to beat W'cross and Granemore to ease past Newton.

1st Round Fermanagh SFC
Enniskillen Gaels 2-08 Kinawley 1-06
I've went for Crossmaglen, Nemo, Birr, Ballyhale, Ballyboden (hurling) Kilmurry (clare football) Portlaois, Cavan Gaels, and the Carlow favourites for the hurling (can't mind their name, Mount someone)
£10 Pays £230
was going to stick in Clontibert and Crokes might do a side bet on some outsiders
Any major shocks this weekend in the Club Championships? in Antrim Lamhs were put to the slaughter ;D!!!
Fermanagh champs dumped out also
Offaly has a very long, drawn out Championship, in both hurling and football. In the football there are two groups of 6, with 5 games each to play. The top 4!! in each group go into the quarter finals.
At the moment, there's only been 3 games of the 5 played, so we are still 2 games away from a quarter final, but in the early going Clara (the champions), Rhode (the favourites) and Tullamore all seem to be motoring nicely.

That leaves a St Patrick's Donagh vs Roslea Shamrocks final on Sunday 26th of September
Cavan Gaels v Kingscourt in this neck of the woods
Plunketts beat Ballymun in Dublin at noon, St Galls beat St Johns tonight in Antrim.
its a Ballinderry vs Eoghan Rua final in Derry. Going to be very tight this year.
This is how close St Galls came tonight to losing to St Johns, a late goal chance when they were two points up - http://vimeo.com/14909399// To be fair, St Galls were on top and got another point and deserved to win. One sent off from each, tho the Johnnies red card was more significant as it came early in the second-half whereas Karl Stewart was only put off at the end. St Galls were losing at half-time after shooting woeful wides. They play Cargin in the Final.
Weekend Club GAA results round-up
It was a busy weekend around the Country with most Senior GAA Championships have got to the semi-final stage. Below is the results from Dublin, Meath, Galway, Roscommon, Sligo, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford, Limerick, Kerry,Kildare.Monaghan,Offaly
http://www.sportsnewsireland.com/2010/09/13/weekend-club-gaa-results-round-up/ (http://www.sportsnewsireland.com/2010/09/13/weekend-club-gaa-results-round-up/)
Last 4 in Mayo are: Ballintubber, Castlebar Mitchels, Knockmore and Shrule-Glencorrib.
Draw for semis will take place tonight.
Some games are great, some are real wars of attrition, like in Tyrone we expected Errigal-Cookstown to be entertaining but it wasn't, St Galls last night in Antrim was 9-6, and there wasn't one goal from play in the three Dublin SFC games I was at over the weekend. In fact, there wasn't even a single goal chance in the Ballymun-Plunketts game. That's championship for you. Anyway, the Dubs games are reported here tho it starts more like a weather report - http://www.youtube.com/user/Hill16Dubs?feature=mhum (http://www.youtube.com/user/Hill16Dubs?feature=mhum)

Where's the betting they have to set up a sub committee to report to the games committee who then have to report to the executive who will make those findings known to the delegates before the delegates then take the findings away back to their clubs to repeat the whole process in reverse before the draw can be made. My feeling is the new manager will be in place in Mayo before the draw is made ;D
If anyone is interested - London final is between Parnells and Neasden Gaels. Parnells beat three in a row champions Tir Chonaill Gaels yesterday to qualify for their first final since 1992,while Neasden are in their third final in a row, having lost the last two to TCG. Parnells last won the title in 1991, Neasden's only ever win was in 1999. The winners in London will play the eventual Provincial winners from Ulster (I think I have that right), probably in Jan of next year.
Here in Tipperary, there are 12 teams still left in the Senior Football Championship and 24 (hard to believe I know) in the Senior Hurling Championship. That means an awful lot matches to be played in the coming weeks, starting with double bills in Thurles tonight and tomorrow night , after which the number of teams in the Senior Hurling Championship will be reduced to 20.
The All Ireland champions scrape through, see for yourself - http://vimeo.com/14931719 (http://vimeo.com/14931719)
