The notion that the odds on Carrickedmond - who have an uphill struggle to get through to the quarter-final in a match that they have to win against a team who are going well and who they tried to put out of the championship last year through backroom machinations - are the same as those on Abbeylara and particularly Colmcille, is just bonkers.

I don't expect a hommurin this eve...............but I do expect a defeat of single digits.

Dromard 0-18 Carrickedmond 0-19
Granard 3-15 Mostrim 1-10

Granard's efforts prove in vain.
