Handy draw for the Dublin Footballers barring an major improvements in the team on Dublin's side of the draw. As for the hurlers a game against Westmeath could be a great start .

Still think that we should beat Down, but I still think that Down could shock us and shock us well.

Ziggy, you mustn't have seen much of Down recently...I would currently rate them as being in the bottom 3 in Ulster.  No chance of a shock in Omagh, unless Tyrone fail to show.

Great  :-\

Longford or Mullingar? Did the Qualifier game earlier this year count as a return? I can't recall.

Anyone looking forward to this? I don't think I will be.

That's what I'm afraid of, a no show from Tyrone and it could happen.

Will be interesting if results go to plan leaving a Monaghan v Armagh semi. A chance for the emerging team to put the declining team out. If that match does happen it could say alot for both teams.

Monaghan and Armagh can't meet until the final, if they will meet.

I reckon Louth could be a real banana skin. Of all the Leinster counties outside of the established ones they are the best equipped to challenge. Could be a real upset and should be a great game.

What happened to the Ulster Hurling Draw?

There is no Ulster Draw this year, Casement is booked up for an open air dominoes competition. Sambo said his good friend Martin Storey is an ace player and he intends drafting him in.

Not to sound too Cocky but all the established Leinster counties bar maybe Meath are miles off Dublin going on the past 3 years.

I'd probably agree with you Gnevin, though I think Laois have a lot going for them. Louth however IMO are potentially better than 3 quaters of the counties in the country. They ran eventual AI finalists Cork very close, beat Donegal in a national final and drew with Tyrone in the Championship. All in all they have been on a steady upward curve, have some quality forwards and a good manager. I'm not saying I'd put the mortage on a Louth win, just think that it is the most likely 'big' upset of the early championship. And whatever about beating the Dubs they'll be a team to be avoided in the qualifiers.
