As the man said when asked for directions "I wouldn't start from here". Although not equitable they have a history which could never be replaced and offer many counties a hope of silverware.

What would a provincial title this year mean to each county. I have split these in 5 categories.

Satisfied         Tyrone,Cork,Dublin,Kerry,Galway,Mayo

Happy             Armagh, Roscommon, Sligo,Meath,Kildare

Delighted        Leitrim,Derry,Donegal, Monaghan, Down, Cavan, Westmeath,Laois,Offaly

Mental            Antrim,Clare,Louth,Wexford,Longford

Is this a dream?             Fermanagh,Wicklow,Carlow,Tipperary,Waterford,Limerick

I'd imagine Leitrim would be a bit more than delighted.

With Armagh having won 7 out of the last 12, including a 3 in  a row, would they not be in the satisfied category

You would think that but with POR in charge you would have to throw the element of surprise into the equation.

If Cavan were to win Ulster they would be alot more than delighted. The whole county would be on the beer for a week.

It would be inevitable Boojangles. I would join them for a night of celebration in Cavan but then it would back to work for me.

I'd predict the panel would still be on the beer by the AI quarter-finals  ::)
