Club Football

With club football starting this weekend heres my 2026 Predictions


Senior
Winner - Gowna - due to their sheer amount of county men
Dark Horse - Cavan Gaels - might take a few years but reckon they wont be far off

Intermediate
Winner - Shercock - intermediate very hard to call though
Dark Horse - Bridge

Junior
Winner - Swad with Gearoid back
Dark Horse - After hearing the Junior Interviews on WAC - Shannon Gaels sound very confident of winning the thing out compared the other interviewees so will have to go for them.

So Senior Championship is up and running. Kingscourt ground out a win Thursday night, while Mullahoran has a good win vs the Gaels while also missing a load of chances. What do we think for the other games this weekend?

Yeah the senior will be interesting although I have probably attended more intermediate and junior games this year.

Senior probably between Gowna Crosserlough and Kingscourt. Ramor are probably out on their own in fourth and can't see any of the rest winning a championship.

Still lots of time for Ramor to get going but they need a win this weekend, which they'll probably get. They could be dangerous for someone in a knockout game, especially Gowna. But I don't see Ramor winning the championship.

Arva did well to beat Killygarry less than four days after the Crosserlough game which was played in 20 degree heat. Seemed a crazy decision to play that game on a Wednesday when there was a free weekend coming up. Both Johnny McCabe and McAvinue went off injured in the first half of the Killygarry game which was probably as a result of the scheduling and could be costly for Arva

Cuchulainns also going well but still a bit to prove yet. Could see them taking a bad beating come the knockout stages

Any reason all the Quarter finals are on at the same time..bit of a kick for supporters that they only get to see one, and players can't get to any.

Agree, it was very disappointing to see all junior quarter finals on at the same time. I actually thought it had to be a mistake earlier in the week. I ended up going to Lacken and Shannon Gaels which was a mistake. Lacken cruised through in second gear.

Good draw in the senior, Gowna and Ramor the stand out. Ramor have been poor but have the Indian sign over Gowna. Cuchullainns and Killygarry is a good draw for both. I remember them meeting in a senior quarter final about 10 years ago. The Gaels will fancy taking Kingscourt. Mullahoran will need to get a lot right to challenge Crosserlough

Business end now.

Kingscourt should make the final.

Big game between Crosserlough & Gowna. Expect Gowna to win.

In Intermediate Butlersbridge & Denn must be favourites to reach final.

Lacken must be favourite for Junior

Did Laragh win at the weekend?

Cavanbyrd (Cavan) - Posts: 66 - 24/09/2026 18:47:11    2694931

Did Laragh lose again?

Cavanbyrd (Cavan) - Posts: 66 - 28/09/2026 13:30:51    2695335

Laragh lost and are relegated thankfully. It would have been interesting to see what level that team could have gotten to had they held onto all their players but we'll never know sadly.

Cuchulainns won without playing particularly well.

Knockbride blew a great opportunity.

Denn sauntered past a disappointing Killinkere

Kingscourt v Gowna

Have to say Gowna. Hopefully whoever wins will be able to push on in Ulster.
