Castlehaven are moving very well in Cork and will probably win the county there and be favourites to win Munster. Former Brigids manager Jerome Stack is coaching them. A rematch with Dingle in better conditions would be a great battle.

The County Championship in Kerry starts weekend of 15 September when most of the club championships will be over.

The hop ball generally descends into another maul! look for the soft free and move on ;)
Sure the soft free (out, always out)  immediately follows the hop! Thought you were a ref?

Look for he soft free, the team takes the free, means its not a hop ball?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

You would imagine that the likes of Templenoe has a small pick compared with the divisional teams.

What's all of this talk of championships outside of Armagh?

Tiny pick, not even a primary school in their parish any more. And yet they have such quality you wouldn't back against them causing an upset or 2.

Do the 8 winners play each other and the 8 losers or how does this work?

Armagh18

Cross back on track with a narrow win against Sarsfields. Lovely touch from the Sarsfields lads to give Cross a guard of honour.

Castlehaven won't get near Dr Crokes. Eire Og Ennis should win the Clare championship easily. Have a strong panel but can never beat kerry/Cork opposition.

Basically yes. See below..

16 teams total, the 8 senior clubs and 8 divisional teams.

Round 1 is an open draw, 8 games. The 8 winners go to Round 2A, the 8 losers go to Round 2B.

Round 2A will feature the 8 winning teams from Round 1. The 4 Winners of Round 2A go to Quarter-Finals. The 4 Losers of Round 2A go to Round 3.

Round 2B will feature the 8 losing teams from Round 1. The 4 Winners of Round 2B go to Round 3 and the losers exit the competition.

Round 3 will feature the 4 losers of 2A versus the 4 winners of 2B. The winners of Round 3 will go to the Quarter-Finals and the losers of Round 3 will exit the competition.

After Round 3, we will have the 8 Quarter-Final teams featuring the 4 winners of Round 2A against the 4 winners of Round 3.

Then Semi-Finals and Final.

I disagree on the Haven, they will give Crokes trouble as they will be have the physicality and they have a big threat up front if everyone is fit. They also have a Kerry coach who will know Crokes well.

All this predicated on Haven actually winning Cork which is not a foregone conclusion.

Castlehaven manager Seanie Cahalane  said this recently

Quote"Jerome takes the odd training session. He's not part of the management. He trained Castlehaven in 2018 and 2019. He would be good friends with one of our selectors Bernie Collins. He left St Brigid's after they lost the All-Ireland final. He comes to our matches every now and again, so he's a great fella to have around when he's around. He brings a lot of experience and different ideas."

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Were Castlehaven the intermediate team Cullyhanna beat in the final last year?

No, Cill na Martra

Cavan Championship very interesting so far. 3 of the 4 rounds of group games are played, with final group game round this Sunday with all games throwing in at the same time. The draw so far has thrown up odd pairings with most of the teams who would be favourites playing each other, and most of the weaker teams playing each other too. Means a few big teams likely to miss out on Top 8 and go into relegation as some supposed weaker sides have a few wins already. Gowna are going for 3 titles in a row, but have drawn 2 and lost 1 out of 3 so far, and need a win to go through (which still might not be enough), and they've a game this weekend against Killygarry who are also battling to get through. Kingscourt may have trouble getting through too. Sunday will be interesting
