After Roscommons one point win over in New York last weekend, the championship gets in to full swing with four matches at the weekend. First up on Saturday is a double header in Portlaoise. At 5.00 pm Louth play Carlow. This is the first championship meeting between these sides since 2011 when Carlow defeated Louth to record a historic first ever championship win over the Wee County. Straight after that match at 7.00 pm Laois play Wicklow. They last played each other two years when the O' Moore men over came the Garden County. On Sunday at 3.30 pm in Tullamore, Offaly take on Longford. This is the third year in a row that these sides have faced each other in the championship. Longford have won both of these matches. At 4.00 pm Fermanagh take on Antrim in Enniskillen. This is the third year in a row that these sides have played each other. Fermanagh beat Antrim last year twice in both Ulster and the Qualifiers. They also beat them in the Ulster Championship in 2014. Bring it on! OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 09/05/2016 11:34:05 1853203 Link 0 |

Alright Cued. How is she cutting? Third time lucky for Offaly. Offaly beat Longford in the league this year so ill stick with the Faithful men. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 09/05/2016 11:55:11 1853214 Link 0 |
In saying that OLLIE i wouldn't be brave enough to put money on Offaly.Ye boys owe Carlow one i see.Confidence must be high after beating Antrim in Croke Park.Carlow had a couple of decent league outings but Louth should have too much.I wouldn't be shocked if Antrim beat Fermanagh.Are these games on the box?I hope Newstalk are going to continue with their live championship coverage. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 09/05/2016 12:00:12 1853221 Link 0 |

I'll be the first to buck the trend and say that Longford will overcome Offaly. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 4943 - 09/05/2016 12:10:20 1853226 Link 0 |
Cued as far as I know there are no live matches this weekend. Ah yes there is a buzz around the Wee County. Compare this to this time last year. Louth beating Antrim in the Division four decider was the Wee County's first win in Croker since beating Westmeath in the 2011 Division three final. Louth beat Carlow in the league this year but we all know that league and championship are totally different. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 09/05/2016 12:15:46 1853229 Link 0 |

Bumper I thought it was an awful game of football but by god it was exciting. Those last 5 minutes were crazy, especially that goal line clearance. I was behind those goals too and was 10 foot in the air before O'Boyle got his foot to it and stopped it on the line. Once I saw it beat the keeper I thought it was in. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 09/05/2016 12:50:26 1853247 Link 0 |

Louth v Carlow - Carlow are have been the worst team in the country over the last few years.They may have improved slightly,but Louth look to have improved after a disaster last season.That said this is championship,and as Roscommon discovered the other week its different to league.But its Louth for me,should have way to much firepower and a few early goals may give them a big win.Louth ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 09/05/2016 15:47:21 1853317 Link 0 |

Well Ollie I fully expect the long over due meeting of Louth and Meath in Leinster to be finally in the cards after Sunday. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 09/05/2016 16:03:47 1853329 Link 0 |
