Am I right in thinking that there are championship fixtures this weekend?

I know they're definitely on next weekend, so would be great if you could actually view whats happening on what dates on the counties fixtures page

Haven't been here in quite a while but can't sleep and was thinking back of dooms day at dunsilly and thought I'd come and see what nonsense is being talked 😂 think championship will back up the talking! A few teams to be caught on the hop early on and new champions crowned!!

On the refs, I heard there was a decent turn out and a few more than 5 got to the standard and the usual suspects didn't do great as would be suspected, but wouldn't let it get in the way of a good pre championship mix 😂

Great to be back!

Do you think your Antrim/Derry/Tyrone/Fermanagh select will be the new crowned champions?

😂😂😂

Sure the more the merrier eh! In with a shout no doubt! Think PG1 MIGHT come good too

Wouldn't look any further than your group IMO. St Galls can cause a shock and the other games are 50/50- may need to recruit a few more

Very quite for championship week

[Hectic]

That's because it's a one horse race and odds of 2/1 are an absolute steal.

As for the chat of St Galls winning their group - I think you are more likely to see them finish in the bottom two, possibly even last and be in the relegation playoffs come autumn.

Breaking ball loves an oul multiple of 3 when predicting scores

are creggan favourites against aghagallon?

St Galls had a decent league campaign and have certainly come across as a more dangerous side than i thought at the start of the season. worth an upset?

[imtommygunn]

On league form Aghagallon seemed to be poor enough and Creggan not. Same with St Johns and Randalstown.

LD seemed very poor in the league too so their St Enda's game is an interesting one. People pointing to St Galls league form though St Brigids won the league so doesn't stack up so much but I would almost say it would be tie of the round. Aghagallon have county players back too so that could be an interesting one. They are the three that stand out for me.

It's hard to know how to predict Aldergrove Dunloy.
