Quarter Final Predictions

SFC

Mayobridge v Bryansford - The Ford done brilliantly to overcome Castlewellan but Mayobridge may just be a step too far. They just about overcame Clonduff in the 1st Round and this suggests that they arent anywhere near full tilt at the moment. I can see them opening up a bit more against the Newcastle men and they will more than likely advance. - Mayobridge

Saval v Liatroim - The Fontenoy's scalp of Longstone was a very positive one in my eyes. Likewise, Saval's progression against Ballyholland was also very well merited. The League Table suggests this may be a tight affair. It could be but Id expect the class of P.P McCartan and Aidan O'Prey to shine through and Liatroim may just find themselves in the Semis. - Liatroim

Burren v Kilcoo - The big question here is whether Kilcoo can really come of age and banish their Championship hoodoo. They were in superb form against the Kingdom while Burren did what they had to do against a poor Attical offering. Id put a sizeable amount of cash on Kilcoo winning this one. Their fluidity and mobility may have Burren in knots by the end of this one. - Kilcoo

Loughinisland  v Downpatrick - Both these teams know each other really well. I was suprised that Dpk beat Ballymartin in the 1st Round. Having said that the Hoops arent an overly great side at the moment but their Championship nous means they'll not lie down for this encounter. Loughinisland's win over Rostrevor was incredibly understated and I just cant see by them for this one. - Loughinisland


IFC

Drumgath v Annaclone - I fully expected both these teams to come through in the 1st Round. However, Drumgath's dream stops here. Annaclone to emerge victors. - Annaclone

Darragh Cross v Shamrocks - Very hard one to call. Ive seen both teams recently and they are very similar in their makeup. However, I believe the quartet of Shamrock's county men may be able to lift them enough to edge this one. Id expect it to be very tight. - Shamrocks

Bredagh v Kilclief - Bredagh beat us convincingly enough last time out but I just cant see them taking Kilclief. The only way this will happen is if the men from the shore have a particularly bad day at the office. Kilclief may be staring Division 3 football in the face but they have enough experience and grit to make the last 4. - Kilclief

Warrenpoint v Glasdrumman - Intriguing tie. The Point needed to pull out all the stops against Banbridge last week while Glasdrumman beat Bosco handy enough. A simple gulf in class will decide this and a strong Point attacking force will totally upset Glasdrumman. - Warrenpoint

JFC

Bright v Ballykinlar - Bright are poor this year. Ballykinlar are poor every year. There will be a tense derby flavour to this one. The Kinlar would really have to extend themselves to no end to progress here. Bright will win this but their title aspirations will stop short at the Semis. - Bright

St Johns v Drumaness - Nightmare of a game to predict. How good at this level are St Johns? They have pillaged the rest of Division 4 with relative ease but now they face their biggest test yet. Drumaness will be smarting from last year's Final defeat but the big 'if' with them for this game is which Drumaness team will turn up? Im going for a pretty solid offering from them and I can just about see them through. - Drumaness

Aghaderg v St Michaels - St Michaels are dark horses for this Championship in my eyes. They are a better side than the Derg and with a potent attacking force at this level, they will be in the draw for the next round. - St Michaels

Mitchels v St Pauls - Holywood is slowly but surely on the rise in terms of GAA development. From underage up St Pauls are making great strides and its fantastic to see. They will be firing on all cylinders for this one and Mitchels have been dreadfully poor this year. The North Down men to saunter through. - St Pauls

Anyone see the incident in saturday nights game Stone v Liatroim involving McCrickard?
Did Stone supporter get involved?
Surely not or this would be 2nd year in row that one of their supporters has got involved with a player in championship!!

the main problem that riled the longstone supporters was the refs decision to send mark poland off for absolutely nothing. referee was diabolical.

did that give them the right to attack collie mccrickard with an umbrella??

Have you seen the wire round that pitch, you couldnt get over it if you tried so I don't think he was going to come to any harm bridgegael    I'm sure what happened was a lot less than what went on with your players and subs on Friday night...People in glass houses and all that

If they have any sense they will have rested boys. They know they have the play off place in the bag.
