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.

Cornafean dark horses for Intermediate, they haven't lost a game this season yet.

Lacked with Thomas Galligan back must be in with a shout for Junior Championship.

Is he back for good? Will we see him in Cavan colours next year?

I see now he's playing for Donegal Boston but the Celt had it that he will be back for Lacken in the Championship.

Maybe the knockout stages -

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
