I think Dublin will give the cats a game but kilkenny will win the leinster final by a few points. Imo it is Tipperarys to lose this year with them beating Kilkenny in the final. Clare will be the surprise package in the qualifiers with Galway looking very uninspiring so far

Injuries and suspension may catch up with Dublin mores the pity, but they'll give the Cats a right good rattle and even if they do get beat will be a handful for anyone else later on.

Dublin are on the brink of something huge. Zulu and INDIANA will be (even more) insufferable ;)

Hey, hey, heyyyy, don't lump me in with the Dubs, I ain't one of them. :D :D On the Dubs themselves, I wasn't that impressed with them last Saturday, great work rate and heart but they never put away a very poor, rudderless Galway team which would concern me (if I were a dub of course). I have a feeling they may be a good team but one unlikely to win an AI in the next couple of years anyway.

I think Dublin could have Mayo league/championship syndrome. Great up to June but nowhere afterwards.

Football is different. There's always going to be a half-dozen or so teams wth realistic summer ambitions. In hurling in recent years it's fallen as low as one. Then again, I look at Galway . . . ;)

If Antrim beat Carlow are we in the 1/4 finals?

No, we go into phase 3 of the qualifiers to play to play the one of the semi finals losers in the provincial championships i think. Not too sure on the format tbh

Unfortunetly Down aren't one of the eligible semi final losers we could play! (if we overcome Carlow)
