Everyone will be talking about Offaly and Down, but I'm nor sure if I would fancy Fermanagh either ?

I think this years semi finalists are a stronger bunch than last year. Whoever we get in the draw on Monday, we are in for a torrid time next week. Hopefully today's experience of pulling back that deficit will have toughened the lads up for whoever. Down look the favs at this point, in my opinion.

We can't get Fermanagh either way, as Offaly can't play Down again unless it's the final!

Can't happen as Down and Offaly can't meet in semi as repeat fixture so Wicklow and Fermanagh have to play one of them each next weekend.

One thing is for sure, there will no pressure on us next week in Croke Park.

Offaly had a major wobble vs Wexford and Down have already lost in this competition.

Well done to all involved in yesterday's comeback and great result. I think yesterday's result and the manner of how it was achieved will give this team momentum and confidence going into semi-final next weekend. Although it isn't good for the supporter's heart. Are we outsiders for the title; yes, but I don't think we should fear playing any team at this stage. I don't think any of the other teams left in the competition will want to play us. Losing last year's semi-final in the manner the team did would be difficult to overcome but this team has resilience. Equally, to bounce back after the disappointment of losing out on promotion to Longford would be difficult to overcome but the team rebounded and beat Carlow against the odds before pushing Dublin all the way. I'm looking forward to the draw in the morning to see who we're drawn against and fingers crossed the team can go one better and get to the Tailteann cup final.
