All Ireland Championship 2025.

[EoinW]

Prediction time.


Group 1 - Donegal  Mayo  Tyrone  Cavan

Donegal to top the group.  Tyrone and Mayo fight it out for 2nd.  Cavan 4th


Group 2 - Kerry,Meath  Roscommon Cork

Kerry to top the group.  Anyone of those other 3 teams could finish 2nd or 4th.


Group 3 - Louth  Clare Monaghan  Down

Monaghan to top the group.  Louth 2nd.  Down 3rd  and Clare 4th

Group 4 - Galway  Armagh, Dublin  Derry

Galway and Armagh fight it out for 1st place.  Dublin 3rd  and Derry 4th.

For the last round of.games do they go for a nfl effect where all games are on same day and time.??

Group Two is interesting.  No easy games for Kerry

Group Four: 2024 All Ireland Finalists and 2024 League finalists.  Talk about a Group of Death!

The happiest four counties have to be in Group Three.  Opportunity knocks.

Give your head a wobble.. To get to the AIQF, they will have played
Div2 x4
Div3 x1

Armagh will have played
Div1 x 5
Div2 x 0
Div3 x 1

Donegal will have played
Div1 x 4
Div2 x 2
Div3 x 1

I'm possibly thinking of this too simplistically but should Armagh make it to the QFs whether directly or not, are they automatically in the opposite side of the draw to Donegal, Galway & Dublin due to the avoidance of repeat group/provincial finals where possible?

I suppose the "where possible" bit is the key here because there are obviously other teams permutations to be considered as well.

Yeah as far as I know, should have an easier "on paper" prelim or qf draw although can still get Kerry. We dont tend to do well as favourites though.

Confirmed today.

Louth will play Monaghan in their "home game" in Newbridge on Saturday May 24th at 4.45pm, live on GAA+

[statto]

Other round 1 fixtures confirmed today apart from the venue and throw in for the Louth "home" game.

Saturday May 24

Group One
Donegal v Tyrone, MacCumhaill Park, 7pm, GAA+

Group Two
Meath v Cork, Páirc Tailteann, 3pm

Group Three
Louth v Monaghan, TBC

Group Four
Armagh v Derry, Athletic Grounds, 5pm

Strange the games this week are spread out across Saturday and Sunday, while next week all games are on Saturday with a couple overlapping.  Do RTE have a game booked in for next week would have thought that Armagh Derry  have TV coverage?

Very sensible decision considering the low cost of fuel and tolls .
who makes these brainless decisions?

Round 2 is the following weekend for all the 16 teams, so i'd presume its to give the 8 teams the extra day.

There are games in Navan and Armagh, Down claim that there club games in Newry which is really a case of we don't want Louth getting a game there a week before we play them. Louth don't want to play Monaghan in Monaghan.

An unusually smart move by Down GAA.

Going by previous years they don't seem to take that into account.

Sunday that weekend is already fairly full with five senior hurling games.

So Donegal, Armagh, Louth and Meath will all play on back to back weekends and will all play teams who will have had a two week break? 

I do enjoy how we continually find ways to uneven the playing field in competitions.

Similar situation last 2 years

It's poor alright. Thry could push finals out to mid August at least and give a week or two more for teams.
Does anyone actually like the earlier championship? Does it benefit anyone.? County finals are all still in October.

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Still not convinced about Galway media love hyping them up.

I think the Dubs go to Salthill and win this weekend.
