Championship top scorers

[Bogball XV]

What about Brogan at 12's - looks a decent outside bet to me.

He would have to get fifteen points though from two matches, tough ask

Edit to say I have just realised they haven't played their 1/4 final yet!! 15 from 3 matches, could be very achievable. Thats if they beat tyrone and wexford of course....

that's it, knocks in a 1-3 this weekend, 1-3 in the semi and then manages 2 or 3 in the final!  plus the possibility of an replay somewhere along the line.

Sheehan is a strong bet.

Good call bogball, never thought about replays...

Corn, I backed Sheehan last year at about 20/1 before the championship so thats why I was originally leaning towadrs him but 13 points is a big ask...

Why Down etc played more games?

Sean Cavanagh has moved up into the reckoning somewhat on 2-16. I think only Forde is ahead of him on 1-24 of those left.

Interesting swing in the betting after the weekend

Now Dublin are out and Tyrone face Wexford in the semi, Forde has been slashed from 2-1 to 11-10. This is partly due to balancing the books as there are less canddates now, and amybe the supposed easier challenge against tyrone?? I am not saying this though so before you tyrone ones jump on my case!

Johnny Doyle cut from 5-2 to 2-1

Sheehan in to 3-1

McCullagh 16-1, not even giving Cavanagh

[ONeill]

I think McCullagh's on 1-16, Cavanagh's on 2-16 and McGuigan on 0-16.

I'm going by these collated scores.

That site is wrong, it has Ian Ryan top scorer? Johnny Doyle is top scorer, the hogan stand link is better but doesnt include this weeked syet I don't think.

Yes, it seems to have wiped Kildare from the map.

An extra match then for kerry... Sheehan got four today... Looks a strong bet eh corn?

[cadhlancian]

Benny Coulter scored 4.8 this championship

Cant see him getting many more though so hes ruled outta my bet!

Didn't know that was up to date so cheers. Sheehan not even there in top seven.

Mattie Forde only still active in c'ship of those. Chances are though he might only get one more game. Hmmm, interesting.

Sheehan has 20 points which would mean he would need 12 points from the next two games... Is his frees worth that? 4/1 shot. Forde 2/1 might offer more value.

Sean Cavanagh has scored 2-14 so far,,,not even listed,,,,crazy!
