Pre Championship challenges

DuffleKing · May 13, 2011, 09:31:50 AM

In previous years we've had a very useful thread covering updates on championship preparations through challenge games. Often difficult to get updates on these games so gaaboard's insiders usually come into their own!

Duffleking, can you start us off with your own? I believe Armagh played Kildare this week.

3.14 - 0.10 in favour of Kildare.

Derry where beat by Sligo at Ballinascreen's pitch opening 3 weeks ago and followed it up with a defeat to Wicklow last weekend during their training trip where they all behaved impeccably. Who ever wins between Derry and Fermanagh will be cannon fodder for the winners of Down & Armagh.

Heard that OLG, of the most impeccably behaved who were the best men (and the Ushers)?

Cork beat Laois by something like 1-12 to 0-10 on Tuesday night

There was rumours of a bit of skelping in a behind closed doors game in Killarney recently, the Summer is here at last

Kildare beat Tipperary 2-12 to 0-11 on Wednesday night and beat Armagh 3-14 to 0-10 last night.

Longford recently beat Cavan and Meath in challenge matches.

Dunno if there is one scheduled before we hit Portlaoise on Sunday week.

Leitrim are shaping up well in challenge games (wins over Carlow,Clare & a draw with Cavan) Sligonian must be slightly worried?

Mayo gave Antrim a heavy beating in Kiltimagh a couple of weeks ago.
Playing Offaly in Ballintubber tomorrow.

Down bet Cavan by 3 in killeshandra a few weeks back. 4 13 to 4 10 I think.

thejuice · May 13, 2011, 07:35:42 PM

I think there was one against Armagh, we probably lost.

Monaghan beat Meath a few weeks ago. 3-09 2-07

Longford beat us (Longford 2-13 Meath 2-12)

We have games coming up against Westmeath and one rumored against Leitrim but I don't have any details about them.

Jinxy · May 13, 2011, 07:57:46 PM

If I hear we're due to lose to anyone over the next couple of weeks I'll let ye know.
