After yesterday I'm feeling good about my bet with PP for Dublin to win all irelands at senior, u-21 and minor. 20-1 was generous.

We are in the age of Dublin domination. Dublin have made the leinster final in all grades in hurling and football. Might as well make money from it.

Lets not forget this team scraped by longford, I remember when the hurlers had that huge victory over kilkenny at the start of the year people were having fits about splitting dublin into diffrent teams for each postal code!! the footballers are a good team, Basquel and O'Callaghan have great potential, I expect them to beat Kildare easily enough but they are far from All Ireland favourites at the moment.

I can guarantee you that this Kildare minor team will not be giving up their Leinster title without a fight.

You claimed Offaly were gonna beat Dublin. Last year Dublin had an ordinary looking set of 2nd year Minors. This year is different. Fancy Dublin to win Leinster this year.

I admit I was wring there. I picked Offaly purely on the basis of what I had heard and been written about them all year. But I only expected them to shade it. Seems they were overreated. Still that does not take away from Dublin's impressive victory.

Great win for our minors (2 Connacht's in a row and our 39th Comnnacht title). Enda Gilvary deserves huge credit for what is effectively a brand new team from last years All Ireland winning team. They were poor in the Connacht minor league but who cares about that...now is the time of the year to be producing the goods.

Should be a cracking final on Sunday between Kildare and Dublin. Best wishes to both teams.

Minor is hard to call, but would love to see us take all 3 titles

witnof, Having got two out of three last year we would be very happy with one out of three this year.

That Kerry team are mighty impressive. The Munster final scoreline was no reflection for me, Kerry in control and a blatant dive made it respectable for Cork. Their West Kerry contingent (there's a plethora of them) are KEY. I remember watching the Hogan Cup final this year and wondering how big a moment it could be. A few years ago, Kerry teams heads would drop in those situations. They were terrific in coming back and closing out the game once they got ahead. Felt like a turning point.

Paddy Power has Kerry favourites at 7/4. Kildare are a good price at 11/1.
