Replying To Dunlavin4Miley:  "Anyone hear of what came from the fight at the end of Pats and Glenealy two weeks ago? Hearing rumours that 9 players got bans and some of them for 3 years. Anyone hear different??"
I wouldn't hear as I don't live in the county but I think the county board has to stamp down severely on these type of incidents due to the nature of them. While three years seems severe; I think it is about right because it may be reduced on appeal so they have to give the culprits' years in the event it could be reduced on appeal. Wicklow GAA doesn't need people involved in these types of incidents.

I hear that Frankie Dolan is linked with the vacant Longford job. This would be a blow to Oisins management team.

I'd like Frankie to remain within our county's setup but I'm not surprised his services are in demand. Wicklow's forward play has improved under his coaching but he probably want a shot at intercounty management. Hopefully he'll stay but best of luck to him if he moves to Longford. Longford will be hoping they can stay in division three next season which won't be easy as Kildare and Offaly are in the division after relegation.

Results to date have been surpring which makes forecasting winners and losers for today's games tricky, so I won't go there. I think it's looking like Bray and Kiltegan will struggle to make last 8.

Last night results didn't surprise me. I think Kiltegan are unlucky to be drawn in a group with Baltinglass, Blessington and AGB. I felt Blessington played well in their previous game with AGB so I'm not surprised they won last night. Equally, I think St. Pats are an experienced outfit so I'm not surprised they beat Bray who haven't made much of an impact on the senior championship in recent years.

Today, I tired predicting Baltinglass to lose, only for them to win so I'll pick Baltinglass to beat AGB narrowly. I'm not convinced by An Tóchar so I think Carnew will get the win after playing well in their first game. The surprise may come in the Hollywood vs Rathnew game; I think Hollywood can get a result, maybe a draw. I pick Tinahely to beat Eire Og. Most of my predictions will probably be wrong but I'm looking forward to attending some of the games tomorrow.

After last nights results I think at least one of Bray and Kiltegan are going out. Even if they do sneak into 3rd place in their group, their score difference means one of them will bite the dust, surely.
