SHC 2026

Funny how the Harps have gone from the form team to outsiders !!

Not in the predictor but I'll go with:
Ballyfin and Ballinakill - a draw. A lot of stake. Ballyfin improving and Ballinakill struggling for form
Abbeyleix v Rosenallis - I think Abbeyleix will find it a bit easier to score and might just shade it
Harps v BK - For BK a lot depends on holding the Duggans and keeping the free count down, they might just edge it

Should be three decent games. Hope the weather holds up.

Huge congrats to rosenallis firstly and the Friel family after the late winner. Tough week and there mam would be smiling down proudly. I only saw the second half and it was a stop&start kind of game. I thought abbeyleix had done enough but rosenallis finished the game well. Hard to see them beat camross without a lot of improvement but mark dowling will be a big loss if out with the knee.

The second game was a bit disappointing as a specticle but i think the better team won. Borris gave there all but lacked the same scoring threats as The Harps. I dont think The Harps payed anything close to what there capable of and the referee was hard on them at times but they did enough and for all the talk of the forwars it was the defensive spine of Podge and Cody that led the way. Bobby Murphy was outstanding in goals too and will be in with laois next year ive heard.

Hopefully two great semis to come. Camross and ballacolla will presumeabably start as faves but i reckon there could be fireworks and a shock...or 2.

With Mark Dowling gone i can see dan delaney being camross outball with mossy sweeping around doing most damage , i wounldnt be too suprsied to see a bit of an upset if im honest but think camross should do enough

Ballacolla and HARPS to be a cracker with ballacolla just having enough to get over line

Ive a feeling both games will be tight.
I think camross have the best single performance of the year from round 1 but havent quiet hit those levels since. If they play to there best then i think they will win but rosenallis will be quitly confident after beating abbeyleix the last day and will think that if they can some how stop mossy that they have a massive chance.
Smart money is on camross so ill go with them.

Ballacolla were really good against portlaois but had only bin ok before that and lost challenge matches to st martins and balygunner (heavy loss) in the last few weeks. A few rumours around injurys to the 2 mahers and suddenly they will be a bit less confident than they usually are. The Harps if they have everyone fit will be very close but a couole of players strugglin with injurys apparently. I have heard Ken Hogan has them really strong on focusing on a big perfromence and i think that is the right msg for such a young team.
I think that ballacolla will start as favourites but there manager is in his 1st year and Ken Hogan has done this at the highest level in 3 counties now. That might count for a lot in such a tight game.
Prediction - Draw

And i can only see casletown winning the senior b. They have too much scoring power i think with lots of young lads who have speed as well.
