Top 2 from group B and C through to quarters.

Top 3 from group A through to quarters.

3rd from group B and 3rd from group C playoff for last quarter final place.

I think that's how it is,anyone correct it if i'm wrong.

That would make sense

Wasn't at the match but Hollywood seem to have laid down a marker? From reading the match reports lately, Tony Hannon seems to be operating at a level above everyone else at intermediate grade. That's not a good thing bearing in mind some of the current county players are playing at this level with teams such as Dunlavin and Ballymanus off the top of my head.

I've said it before and I'll say it again-we haven't even come close to replacing Tony Hannon's free taking ability. What a class act he was. No doubt he could still do a job for the county team.

Hollywood are finding form at the right time of the year. Can't see them being bet at this grade, strong in all areas and have lads on the bench that can make an impact when they come in. Hannon is as reliable as ever from the set pieces and a great target man to have in the full forward line, find it very hard to think of anyone else at this grade that I would rank ahead of him.

In the group stages does it go down to points difference or head to head if two teams finish on the same points?

Completely agree, Hollywood won't be touched. In the last round they beat a team by 22 points who had already won a game and who Donard only scraped over and they're going to finish second in the group. That shows the gulf in class.

They will walk the group, wipe the floor with Ballymanus (or whoever beats them) in the semi-final and then put Rathnew (who came through a weak group in fairness) back in their box in the final. Tino has played a county final against the village's first team and came away on the losing side by a point, history won't repeat itself.

so lots sorted so far. senior just has annacurra and ratnew battling for last play off spot. Could we see an upset.
In intermediate Kilmac paid dearly for stupid walkover and now face into relegation battle. (They should survive) Ballinacor can rescue their horrible year by beating kilmac in last game to shut the door on Dunlavin. Is there any more possibilities?

Any predictions for relegation battles.

Senior: Tinahely, Bray, Newtown, Coolkenno, Loser of Annacurra and ratnew. Think those in biggest danger will be Bray, Newtown or coolkenno

Inter: Ashford, stratford, An Tocar, Augrim and loser Kilmac v balanacor. Augrim look red hot to go down Big rebuilding needed.

Jnr A: I might be wrong but think Bless are relegated cause they gave all walkovers?
