OK, sorry it's a bit delayed, I've been celebrating Galway's win. Yeah I know, it was only that strange game with the big ball but hey, it was Mayo after all ;-)

So, 10 fixtures for us to consider this coming weekend. I'll be away in Spain for a couple of weeks from this Friday so please try to get your predictions in by tomorrow, Thursday. Delaney's in Majorca shows GAA, has great food and internet access so I should be able to keep this going. Join me if you're in the area!

OK, so the fixtures:

Saturday

SHC Qualifiers
Waterford v Offaly
Galway v Cork

Christy Ring Quarter Finals
Wicklow v Mayo
Down v Derry
Kerry v Carlow
Kildare v Westmeath

Nicky Rackard Quarter Finals
Fingal v Leitrim
Non Ards v Louth
Monaghan v Cavan
Sligo v Tyrone

Good Luck!

Marooned, you not including the relegation play off between Antrim and Laois?

Andy (Laois) - Posts: 371 - 17/07/2008 14:52:20    50477

Andy no disrespect to either counties, dont think that game should be included as they are not in the running for honours, but if they are then i'll go for Laois Marooned as i'm leaving the office shortly!

tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 17/07/2008 15:08:26    50496

Sorry, I didn't leave Antrim v Laois out intentionally and it's too late to include them now. :-(

Marooned_East (Galway) - Posts: 133 - 17/07/2008 22:28:57    50806

OK, 6 remain outstanding but I'll have to post those I have in now as I'm away in a short while. I'll try to fill in the gaps on my travels. Great to see most of you going for Galway; you clever people!

Would the missing 6 please get their tips in and I'll try to access the e-mails tomorrow evening in Espana before the drink takes effect! Don't look below for assistance with your predictions, OK?

Sorry again for missing out the Antrim v Laois game.

Hello all, well I´m still getting over the dissapointment of Saturday´s game.

It´s more difficult than I thought it would be, updating the tipsters comp manually - pen and paper - but I will do it this week, I promise. I can´t believe how poor Galway were and while I suppose my summer is finished now, but the sun still shines in Majorca.

We all know Marooned is in Spain again - must be a farmer - and is indisposed with regard to the Comp!

Anway Wexford Jim posted the fixtures earlier so get them in to [email protected] asap! Just trying to help!

JayoCluxton (Dublin) - Posts: 2688 - 25/07/2008 16:34:49    57055

Jayo you posted the predictions in the wrong topic.

Clash-of-da-ash (Galway) - Posts: 927 - 25/07/2008 16:43:40    57079

Ta, Clash - noticed it earlier and asked the Great Ones at LP to change it and now it has disappeared from here into the great white ether!! And I don't have a copy home with me. Very funny stuff going on.

Has this competition been abandoned?

Clash-of-da-ash (Galway) - Posts: 927 - 05/08/2008 20:22:21    66198

Unfortunately it looks like it has......pity that just cos Galway got knocked out...Marooned abandoned it. Looking at the last set of predictions it looks like I was sitting on top and all. Any point in re-starting it at this stage?
