OK, most of the predictions are in; just a few outstanding. A slight majority going for Cork and 2 brave souls going for a draw! Will be a cracking match I think.

I´m away, in Majorca for the weekend so can´t go though all the e-mails here in an internet cafe!

Will post a full update when I´m back, Monday. I´m going for a win for Tipp, they looked in good form against Galway in the league final.

Good luck.

Hey am I doing something wrong here? Is the GAA or Hogan Stand sponsoring your trip to Majorca? Jeeze - I am trying to run a competition with nearly 60 players and this Marooon East fella is off swanning it in Spain on the back of a hurley tipping comp! Was there an entry fee??!! I'm getting a week in Mosney (ok Jacko?). I demand a tribunal!

It was a well earned break, honestly, and paid for meself but the entrance fee idea is one for next year. The San Miguel's not as cheap as it used to be!!

You did bald eagle.

OK, well the deadline has passed and we have all predictions in except 3: Gazzo and horn neck who missed last week as well, and rebeltothecore. I'm happy to extend the deadline to midday tomorrow unless y'all bombard me with objections.
Anyway, as expected, we all went for Antrim and Kilkenny. Surprisingly though, the majority have gone against the bookies favourites Wexford! I'm going for Wexford and just hope that they're as hungry for it as I'm sure Dublin will be.
