Replying To Lakeman93:  "Imagine Killucan delegated getting this brutal new championship format in to benefit themselves to make the playoffs and still not being able to do so. Should campaign that 4 teams from section B get in next year, joke-shop.
Both Castledaly and Multy in Inter A have two games left and basically nothing to play for, i'm sure they're are other teams in the same boat too."

Replying To BlueAndWhite099:  "If shamrocks lose to Garycastle then gary castle be on 5 points literally impossible for caulry to go through"

Replying To keepinaneye:  "Multy did not lose comprehensively yesterday, in fact they were unlucky to lose against arguably the best Inter side. It was a great game, if only you were there."

Replying To BadgerDog:  "Predictions for this weekend
Senior
Section A
The downs v Mullingar Shamrocks: Would expect the downs to win this but it should be a tight game. Loughlin to be the difference.
Kinnegad v Caulry: Only one winner here, kinnegad should win this with a bit to spare, they have been impressive so far and caulry struggling.
St Lomans v Garrycastle: Would expect lomans to register their first win of the campaign.
Garrycastle and Caulry a bit off the top 4 in this group and either the downs, lomans, kinnegad or shamrocks are going to be unlucky not to qualify for the knockouts.
Section B:
Tubberclair v Killucan: Tubberclair the form team in section B with maximum points and have been playing a nice brand of football. Killucan will be a different proposition to what they have played so far and will try and make it a physical contest. I think Tubberclair should have too much though and will have one foot in the knockout stages with a win here.
Moate v Tang: Moate showed improvement in their last game and should do enough to win this.
Athlone v Tpass: If Tpass have the same absentees as last game then there will only be one winner in this. Think Athlone should do enough even if Tpass have players returning.
Tubberclair setting the pace in this group and with Whittaker returning soon they will only get stronger. After them it is fairly tight and arguably any of the other 5 teams could claim the other two qualifying spots.
Intermediate
Section A
Castledaly v St Malachys: Malachys by however much they want. Castledaly extremely poor and lucky they are in Section A as can't be relegated.
Shandonagh v Multyfarnham: Haven't seen Multy play this year but they seem to be competitive in first half of games then fall off in the second half. If the form lines are anything to go by then Shandonagh should win comfortably.
Miltownpass v Miltown: The game of the weekend in the Intermediate, should be a great battle. Very hard game to call and no result would be a surprise but I think the men from Rathconrath might just about do enough. Conor Dillon and Brandon Kelly will be a great duel if it materializes.
Similar to the Senior Section A, one of Shandonagh, Mpass, Miltown and Malachys are going to be left disappointed to miss out on qualification.
Section B
St Marys v Maryland: Maryland still heavily reliant on Kieran Martin and Callum McCormack and I think St Marys have better footballers across the field. Would expect their fitness and speed to be too much for Maryland.
Rosemount v Ballinagore: Rosemount should win this easily to move a step closer to qualifying.
Ballymore v Castletown: Ballymore going well with 2 out of 2 and will be expecting to overcome Castletown.
Overall Rosemount, Ballymore and St Marys looking like the three most likely to qualify. Maryland and Castletown struggling and that could potentially be a relegation play off when the sides meet in round 5."

Replying To Claretandblue:  "That's based on Garrycastle and Shamrocks draw which is only a possibility, if Caulry win twice which is difficult but possible they end up on 4 points, they would finish ahead of Loman's if Lomans lost to Kinnegad which is certainly possible and if Shamrocks vs Garrycastle has a definite result as in a win then the loser would have 3 points unless they get points from matches versus Kinnegad or The Downs. It's simply wrong to claim Caulry have two dead rubber matches just to prove new system is wrong. Of course Caulry are favourites for Section B but it's possible they stay up with two wins. They certainly don't have a dead rubber match next."

Replying To Claretandblue:  "There's a difference between qualifying for knockout stages and staying in Section A, Caulry's ambition at this stage is to avoid demotion to Section B, that's still achievable despite other posters claiming it's not."

Replying To Lakeman93:  "Has to be said Tubberclair have taken to senior like a duck to water, and who's to say they might not go deep in the championship. Can't remember a promoted team doing that in a while. Missing plenty of top players too.
Ballinagore in the same boat, and am i right in saying they were Junior 2 not long ago? Super impressive allbeit Inter 2 is very weak. Castledaly going into it next year won't strenghten it either.
Will be very competitive though which is good."

Replying To WHLeinster2026:  "Why would Caulry want to finish 4th and stay in section A? It makes more sense, now that they can't qualify, to lose their games and go down to Section B next year where they have a better chance of qualifying against teams at their level. Rather than losing to The Downs, Kinnegad, etc next year."
