Hey folks, well done Kerry now onto the club scene. How is people's county chamoionships coming along and who are the major contenders to win Provincial and All Ireland titles ?

Hard to know right now; I'm presuming Cross will be strong again and Brigids and whoever wins in Dublin, I think Dr Crokes are out so they'd be a big team gone, but probably to early to say for sure.

great to have this during the winter months. An underrated competition imo. Couldnt predict a winner, but looking forward to the various county finals over the next few months.

Although they haven't won Dublin and it's still only at the 1/4 final stage in the county I think Ballymun will win Dublin and go on to win Leinster and the All Ireland .

Always intrigues me how some of the best club teams come from some of the worst 'intercounties'!
Kilmurray-Ibrickane (Clare)
Eire Og (Carlow)
St. Galls (Antrim)
St. Brigids (Roscommon)
Portlaoise (Laois)

Just goes to show the strength of some of these places when compared to their more robust intercounty neighbours!

The lesson of the club championship is that heart and hand wins games and not money as some would like to believe!.....I've never seen a 'fiver' kick a ball over the bar!

Shock to see Castlehaven beaten 2 weeks ago. When did Nemo last win the Cork championship?

Snuf - can only talk about our own County and I would say the club is treated as far more important than the County in both codes and it shows when it comes to the All-Ireland County C'ship v the All-Ireland Club C'ship.

Foolsgold - Nemo won it back in 2010. Ya, Castlehaven one was a bit of a shock alright, throws it wide open now...

I think corofin will win Connacht. They are very very good and they took their eye off the ball last year against Castlebar. It won't happen again. Mayo club semi finals are on this weekend. Some tough games to call. Castlebar should beat garrymore and Ballintubber should shade it over knockmore in a tight game. I presume Bridget's will walk it in Roscommon. Western Gaels could put it up to them...
