Sigerson Cup 2009

[Lone Shark]

Howdy LGAA,

Not trying to pick on anything here, but I'd love to go to some of these games - any chance you could be more specific on where some of the grounds are? For example I'll hopefully be down in Galway, but to attend GMIT vs UCC would require a little bit more than "Galway" since they don't hold games like that in the college pitch. Possibly that's the only example, but after getting burned last year, if you had any pointers twould be much appreciated. Cheers.

Sorry forgot to change the Mary's venue - it's Mullahoran at present. Lone Shark - I mentioned your concerns to Croke Park yesterday - the guy who went to four pitches in Galway last year to find a Sigerson Cup game and couldn't find it - I've been assured that they will issue me with proper venues this time around.

By the way - if anyone wants me to add your email address to our fixtures/results list PM me with your email address and I'll add you

[Joxer]

Will the weather threaten any of these games?  Hope to get to the UCD UL match.

[laoisgaa]

Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Cup games look to be weather proof - all fixtures have back up venues just in case - but the quality of pitches in most colleges is now second to none - the only game we are a bit worried about at the moment is the St. Mary's/GMIT game in Mullahoran

Ulster Bank Sigerson Cup Round 2 Predictions

UCD v UL = UL UL going well earlier in the year and UCD lacking quality i'll go for an away win
QUB v UUJ = Queens revenge for last year
DIT v Athlone IT = DiT dubs have bit more quality up front
GMIT v UCC =GMIT home team here some nice players
IT Sligo v DCU = DCU loads of quality on display for the visitors should over come this banana skin!
Dundalk IT v Garda College = Dundalk IT going for a shock here dundalk have some fine forwards to do it

[tonesfirstandlast]

Has UUJ no chance tomorrow. Those are big odds for champions. This Vernon boy must be the man!

[cavan4ever]

Loan Shark should go to whatever game is in Mullahoran i believe they could be doing with him.

[Malone Aristocrat]

Dundalk haven't a prayer MR, sorry.

Could be a level playing field at the dub tomorrow if the injury rumours on both sides are to be believed

Dundalk haven't a prayer MR, sorry.

Just got a text saying UUJ having injury problems with their full back line but sure you don't know what to believe

[Our Nail Loney]

Fair play to Paddy Power pricing up all the matches now, not giving a lot away though!

A lot of this is based on the McKenna Cup...

[The GAA]

UL amd NUIG..... outsider's double with a fair chance

[Zulu]

I think that's a great bet GAA, NUIG have a good squad and Mary's normally don't have the squad to compete with the better teams. As for UL/UCD, well UL would be warm favourites in my book, UCD have done nothing to suggest they are up to much this year and UL have some very good players. I'll have a few bob on UL myself and although I strongly fancy NUIG, I don't know enough about either team (injuries etc) to put my money where my mouth is on that one.
