Replying To tearintom:  "Couple of crucial games in the last round but mostly on the relegation front really.

Standout of course is Fethard against The Jimmy's. I do think Fethard will have a little too much for the neighbours. Nothing really riding on other games, first time in a while that's happened from memory

Intermediate is definitely more interesting. There's a real chance Horeswood could finish 5th and be done which is a bit of a suprise, likewise St Martins could be out which is even mkre of a suprise. Ferns have bounced back well from their relegation final last year and could scrape 2nd considering Ballyhougue are already through. Other group a little more interesting, certainly looks like a straight fight between taghmon and clongeen for a quarter final spot, I'd expect the Anne's to top the group seeing off the fintans

In intermediate A on paper the Duffry are the standout team, however Rosslare are motoring well and a bolter is Oilgate, being in relegation still for hurling could scupper them."
Will last weekends results have an impact - Starlight's will be in the relegation final and were knocked out last week in the hurling their likely opponents are still in the Hurling. Shels are out of the Hurling so now are a Football only club where as their major opponents in the Football are all still in the Hurling shake up at different levels.

Martins seeing off a Horeswood in the end Without Barry o Connor and a few more regulars.
Maudlintown see off Craanford with ease. Big game for them in 2 weeks to avoid the drop.
Clongeen beating Taghmon by a point in a low Scoring game. They will face district rivals Adamstown in the Quater final after the comfortably seeing off Cushinstown. Ferns Beating a Ballyhougue side that have been motoring well.
Fintans beating St Annes probably the shock of the weekend so Far Finishing top of the group

Fethard a good bet today.
Can't understand Horeswood, Ferns form team in championship, 2 huge scores in a row. Did Annes mind fella's yesterday?
Oylgate footballers seem to be like their hurlers, bottlers. Alot of noise and no substance yet again. Rosslare's to lose.

Would ve expected oylgate to beat cloughbawn in inter A . Must have more than one eye on relegation final . I understand why but you cant beat momentum of winning no matter which code it is . Championship games better than any training for mind and body . U can pick up injuries at any or both .
Now u facing into a relegation final low in confidence aftrr 2 defeats youvwpild feel that should ve been wins
Thats not taking anything away from Cloughbawn or oulart . Well done to both .

Duffry I feel will still be the team to beat in Intermediate A but Rosslare definitely as good as them on their day.

Horeswood have been slipping a bit in recent years. The Annes rested a few yesterday as already through and their juniors were beaten earlier in the day. Ferns motoring well and put up a good score yesterday but also played over an hour of that game against 14 men, Ballyhougue had a man sent off in the 1st 5 mins.

Oilgate definitely one eye on the hurling relegation and another drawback on the hurling system. Under normal circumstances they would be deemed unlucky to have 2 wins and not make quarter finals but done for the year and safe from relegation.

Fethard 9 points down at halftime look like conceding a goal every time the Jimmy's attack,long way back now for fethard

Fair play to them, didn't see that coming, particularly not on that type of scoreline

I don't think many did. Most had fethard probably shading a tight enough game but 5.19 is fairly high scoring

Cloughbawn got relegated 3 years ago under the old system with 4 points in the group stage.

And lyons going off injured early enough in first half , was a strange result when you think of the rest of their season . A local Derby and the normal fight and togetherness of Fethard was seriously lacking.
The workrate seemed to be not up to their normal levels . I thought they would ve been 1/4 finalists at minimum this year in the group. Shows how wrong you can be . Don't think the hurling side of it would be as influential maybe the workload on a smallish group took its toll . Hard to lift it for relegation final but tydn again it's Fethard .
Still no Eoin Whelan on show not a good sign fir him injury plagued and still u21 . Was a huge player underage footballer for them and making big inroads at adult too . Let's hope he returns and gets good run soon for club and possibly county too .

Against the Starlights who will be able to focus on Football and will make sure any of the rugby lads are also there for it. At this stage its not looking good for Fethard.

Intermediate football looking like st Anne's martins final, but ferns are improving dark horses maybe, talking to mauldintown players they expect to beat st martins handy enough (i was a bit shocked to hear this), last two seasons st martins beat them by double scores each time , Castletown for senior, Rosslare for Intermiate A

St Annes have been more impressive than the Martins, it's really there's to lose.

Can't see Mary's beating St Martins but depending on how the hurling is going the Martins could be distracted.

Yep Ferns going well, the Fintans and Ballyhougue will fancy their chances respectively of making a semi final.

Still going for Kilanerin to make the breakthrough but Castletown look really good.

Still fancy Duffry for Intermeidate A

Agree with you on Duffry for Inter A.

I have fancied Gusserane since the start of the year, Gavin Sheehan went off injured in the hurling the last day hopefully it wasn't anything major. I dont think anyone would of predicted the Jimmies destroying fethard the wekeend, they will find it very hard to recover after that.

In l intermediate, a couple of the results the weekend were interesting. You'd imagine both Taghmon and Horeswood are disappointed to not get out of the group. Cushinstown will also be disappointed to be in the relegation, these matches can throw up some strange results but its hard to see a shock coming.

I agree Anne's to lose but resting players Saturday could come back to haunt them, think they rested 7 players, they now have Ferns in a quarter final instead of Ballyhogue. I think Martin's will have the hurling distraction longer than the Anne's also which would play a big part. Adamstown going along nicely. One of Fintans/Ballyhogue will be in a semi final.

They had some impressive results in the group alright but I would still be very surprised if they won it. I don't think they have enough attacking threat, Feeney seems to be doing alot of the scoring for them, I think if a team can keep him relatively quiet it will go a long way to beating them. Hes some asset to have in relation to 2pt frees. Ruari O'Brien is also having a very good year
