Ok, 10 sets of predictions still outstanding. It's tough trying to study the hurling form of the likes of Mayo, Leitrim, Fingal etc. isn't it! Who's idea was it to include Ring & Rackard???

Well, try to get 'em in by 1pm ish tomorrow please, and good luck.

I have all mine done except Kildare v Derry so it's coin flip time again!

OK, all in bar 2; ballbhoy and Jayo who I think is still sunning himself somewhere.

Northside Gael let his heart rule his head and has tipped Antrim. That's loyalty for ya.

OK, well done to Jayo who top-scored this weekend with 20 pts. Only Monaghan's win prevented a clean sheet for Jayo and Monaghan caught many of us out. Well done to Fingal and Leitrim who's surprise wins many of us failed to predict.

So, we now have Tiobraid and CLG sharing the lead on 52 points. Well done to them!

OK, all in bar 2 now and Lifford Gael and Eamoncorcoran missed last week as well so maybe they've pulled out. I Hope not. We'll see. Welcome to S man!

Anyway, many predictable tips this week with Limerick, Cork, Tipperary, Louth, Sligo, Westmeath and Kildare all getting the majority of votes. Some of the others are not so straightforward and like is isn't difficult enough in the Ring & Rackard comps, some of the pairings are already through to the knockout stage and may or may not rest key players.
