Draw.

Replay next Sunday at 2.30.

Mostrim v Mullinalaghta, Sun, 3pm

Final, absolutely ridiculous, odds:

"Slasher9" on HoganStand has tipped us for the win, so obviously we're doomed.

Very quiet here...with the game for the ages this Sun.

PP has the Mullinalaghta boys 4/1on with Mostrim a solid 5/2. No odds on a draw!!

A good start is needed by us to have any hope..........but Mullinalaghta have the experience and the players to win this without too much bother. Every one of their players have drawers full of medals. If you take out the hurling I don't think there's anything with our lads........maybe a 'B' underage medal of some sort....

RIP The Duopoly BTW.

Honestly baffled that the team going for three-in-a-row are second favourites to a team who haven't been in a county final since 2018. Perhaps a certain female journalist has been shorting us with her redundancy money after last weekend's escapades.

Killoe have had a much tougher group and quarter-final than Mullinalaghta and are unbeaten in the league and should be comfortable favourites, really. Best of luck to both Billy and Shamrock/Insider for the first game.

Elsewhere, Clonguish dispatched the Gaels back down to Intermediate with ease, thereby removing the need to revamp next year's championship.

Colmcille 1-13 Granard 1-12

Colmcille hold off a Granard comeback at the death.

Mostrim 1-12 Dromard 1-11

Mostrim steal it with a last minute goal to continue their progress towards a Mostrim-Killoe final. 3 out of 4 semi-finalists from the first group with Mullinalaghta the only survivor of their group.

Abbeylara 0-14 Killoe 2-11
Mullinalaghta 3-13 Carrickedmond 0-6

I noticed that behind the Slashers there is a peleton of achievers with at least 10 titles. Surely Columbas will be aiming to get close to that target with this team.

I will wait and see if we can get to six first.

Quarter-finals:

Abbeylara v Killoe, Sat, 2pm
Mullnalaghta v Carrickedmond, Sat, 4pm
Colmcille v Granard, Sun, 2pm
Mostrim v Dromard, Sun, 4pm

All in Pearse Park.

It's all a bit mad.  Half-parish to prevail ... eventually.

Do you mean us or Scr*bby?

A very happy Shamrock and Insider in the driving seat for Seán Connolly now 

Quater-finals:

Mostrim v Dromard
Colmcille v Granard
Mullinalaghta v Carrickedmond
Abbeylara v Killoe

They lost Barry Gilleran to injury and never recovered.
Dermot Brady is also nearly in his 40s.

Slashers were relying too much on these 2 lads as far as I hear.

Big blow to a small club like that.

They should have had enough for Carrickedmond though. I heard complaints that the number of matches in a short space of time had affected them but it's a factor that's affecting everyone. I suspect it may have been a case of thinking too much about the next match; much as what happened to us when we played Slashers, ironically enough.

Group A:

Killoe v Mostrim
Longford Slashers 0-11 Carrickedmond 1-10
Fr Manning Gaels 0-8 Colmcille 3-16

Colmcille 8pts +26

Quarter-finals:
