How do we see this weekends games going for the Antrim clubs. Can Dunloy do to Slaughtneil what they did against Cushendall? So Sarsfields have enough for Lavey? Will Gort Na Mona get over the line this time? I'm predicting Antrim sides to win the 3 games

Not worried about the Derry championship structure it is what it is and if Lavey win it will be because they battled hard and Deserved it. Sarsfields have a great chance against them in my opinion. Anytime I've seen Sarsfields I've been more than impressed. Sarsfields by 3

Well lads what do we all make of the new Hurling Structure and how it will effect our game

Championship Predictions

Creggan v Lamh   - Creggan by 2 points
Cargin v St Johns  - Cargin by 3 points
Moneyglass v Dunloy - Moneyglass by 5 points

Sarsfields were a joy to watch, played some fantastic hurling and on a better dryer surface can only play better. Surely they will go on and win Ulster.

Glenarm never turned up for 50 minutes. Gort never took full advantage with some bad wides especially from frees in the first half. Second half Glenarm kept dropping the ball in with no luck till the last 5 minutes. If they had put these chances they could have well snatched an underserved win. Gort well deserving winners

Sarsfields were so much better than Carey and they played some lovely hurling. The second disallowed goal should never have been disallowed. They always seemed to have an extra player even before Carey's red card and in better conditions they would have won by a lot more.

Conditions weren't great at all but well done to the players on all 4 teams who battled and gave it there all and for all the fans who stood in the downpours was a decent crowd.

Lastly the standard or refereeing in both games was poor with a lot of soft frees being given

Paddy Power have it priced up now

Sarsfields 11/10
Draw 9/1
Carey 4/5

Some difference with Boyles

Boylesports have priced up the Intermediate final.

Sarsfields 4/9
Draw 9/1
Carey 15/8

So what's the predictions for the games. Who will be crowned intermediate and Junior champions.
I've already went for Sarsfields by 3 and Glenarm by 6. Looking forward to 2 good games.

6 for Glenarm? That's a bold prediction

I've seen Glenarm a few times this year and they have impressed me each time. In the semi final against Glenravel they weren't great in the first half but in the second half they were like a new team. Only criticism i would have is they sometimes overplay the ball instead of taking the point. I could be well wrong with my prediction saturday will tell

I'm talking about Armoys pitch not Ballycastles

Will the Armoy pitch be able to take the 2 finals on Saturday. Was a mud bath on Sunday and the weather won't be improving anytime soon.

Carey v Sarsfields - Sarsfields by 3
Glenarm v Gort Na Mona - Glenarm by 6

Carey took some beating from St Johns and get relegated after Randlestown's comeback against Armoy. Was anyone at the St Johns v Carey game? Did they rest players for next week? Taking a beating like that just before championship final surely can't be good for them. Sarsfields maybe favourites going into it.

What way does relegation work if teams tied on points. Is it point difference or does it go on head to head. Carey Armoy and Randlestown will be sweating it out on the last day. Carey have the best points difference at the moment but play table topping St Johns while Armoy and Randlestown go head to head
