If Milltownpass win their last 2 games they're on four points, how would that guarantee quarter final? Milltown, Castledaly and Shandonagh are all on four and can reach five or more, the Bridge already on six.

Some big wins in the Junior too for Bun and especially St Joseph's

Did anyone else notice former Dublin Full back Paddy Christie on the line for Lomans at the weekend?

So has Alex Gardiner emigrated to Canada ? A big loss but they still put it up to Lomans. Black card for GC with 10 mins left tilted the balance into Lomans' favour. Introduction of TJ Cox a big positive and looked lively. Best team won but I think the 4 point margin was flattering, especially in the manner of the goal. GC looked on for a goal themselves but for a mis-placed handpass and then got hit on the counter attack with a man down.
GC play Kinnegad next and then The Downs so they have work to do to get into the knockout stages.
However, Caulry are the only threat to them as Shamrocks destined for Section B after what I have seen. Darragh Daly's move to London and injury to Davy Gavin has turned an uphill task into mission impossible.
in section B TPass and Killucan look to be the 2 best teams so far - when they meet in the last round maybe they will be both through. Ger Egan gave an exhibition of point kicking v Moate in very wet conditions. Rosemount will have to beat fellow strugglers Moate in the next round to have any chance of staying up.

Have some friends down in Westmeath, they follow their local club there so I've been keeping an eye on the club football , seeing how your county players do with the clubs and enjoying a good football chat with them my friends. had a good one with them over the weekend at the Fleadh, Was also chatting to a few Loman's club members and they reckon they're still going to win the championship!!

They're right to be confident with their record when it comes to knock out championship matches but Kinnegad, The Downs and Tyrrellspass are showing good form. Kinnegad vs Loman's in round five likely to determine second place and would mean avoiding The Downs until the final. I'd make The Downs overall favourites just slightly based on hunger, fitness and form but a lot will depend on injuries and The Downs are currently missing Luke L, Charlie Drumm, Liam Moran and Conor Coughlan, it's ok being minus key players in August but crucial to have full strength side in Sept and Oct. Clonkill virtually certain to be in hurling decider and The Downs are impacted with important dual players, none of the other contenders faces that issue.

The Downs look best placed to de-throne Lomans, they seem to be flying at the moment & i cant see anyone else capable of beating Lomans in the knockouts. The Bridge have also gotten off to a great start in intermediate & despite beating Casteledaly i still think Castledaly will have a big say in it as well as Shandonagh. Disappointing start for Milltownpass after being in last years final. As always a very competitive championship.
Junior looks quite competitive as well, Bun & Joes shooting big scores & Multy seem to going ok. A lot will depend on how strong the senior second string teams are when it gets to knockouts.

Have seen the majority of teams playing at this stage. In section A, The downs look strong and I can see them going far in the competition. A lot of good young footballers. Kinnegad seem to be going well do and are nearly guaranteed a quarter final spot. Obviously Lomans will excel when they have a full squad, but they haven't exactly impressed so far. I still can't see anyone beating them this year, a forward line with o toole, dempsey heslin and McCartan is unbelievable. I can see Caulry sneaking the 4th spot, Although they got a good beating the last day, I can see them beating Shamrocks. Baker is an unreal talent and if he gets the space will be hard handle.
In section B, Tyrellspass are really showing their class. Ger Egan is kicking points for sport and Denis Glennon is showing no sign of his age. Its a fight between Athlone and Killucan for the 2nd spot, and Id say Killucan might scrape it. Athlone are over reliant on Connellan and are missing a top class scoring forward. Tang have impressed too, although losing two of their first 3 games, a lot of good young strong footballers like Hanley and keenan. Id say they'll get another win before the year is out to stay safe. As for relegation, it looks to be between Moate and Rosemount. There is no love lost between these two clubs and Id say the next match will be a right battle. I seen rosemount v tyrrellspass and they seem to be missing a lot of lads and were very poor. No Illunga, boidu, carberry, cox or tones and I heard David Mccormack and Watts have emigrated since the last match. Moate are also missing a few of the gormans but I can't see them losing to Rosemount in a one off game. Rosemount going down unfortunately.

Anyone who thinks Shamrocks will beat Loman's this weekend is clearly afflicted by sun stroke
