Replying To ColmFlaherty:  "Loughrea vs Moycullen - Loughrea by 12: too strong for Moycullen.

Gort vs Tommy Larkins - Larkins by 8: Cian Daniels and Jayo to run things once again.

Clarinbridge vs Cappataggle - Clarinbridge by 8: Clarinbridge will have too strong of a team for Cappatagle.

Liam Mellows vs Craughwell - Craughwell by 7: Tom Mon and the Leens to feature.

Oranmore-Maree vs Sarsfields - Draw: Sarsfields struggled against Castlegar in R1 and managed to get a draw from the game, Oranmore struggled for a short while against St Thomas's but managed to pull it back. Niall Burke, the Connaire's and Cooney's to play well.

Castlegar vs St Thomas's - St Thomas's by 8: they'll be too strong for Castlegar.

Killimordaly vs Turloughmore - Turloughmore by 6: they'll improve since the opening round with the Whelan's and Sean's playing well.

Athenry vs Ardrahan - Draw: Jason and the Hannon's to keep up their form with Cianan Fahy and Brian Callanan on song for Ardrahan."
I like your picks but I believe the Clarenbridge match and the St Thomas's match will both be closer than 8 points.

Replying To galway19:  "Galway won the u16 national cup today in Fermoy. Hammered Cork in the semi final and narrowly beat Waterford in the final. Limerick were the other semi finalists. Tipp and Kilkenny not really competitive at that grade which doesn't bode well for them in minor next year."
Galway won it last year too and shared it the previous year. That didn't transfer to minor. Please don't mention a Leinster minor win this year. Leinster was very poor.

I hear one of the Hannons has done his cruciate.
