Just wondering who ye think will do well in this as the inter county season takes a break its a chance to focus on the club scene. From my own county it looks like Charlestown or Cross to represent mayo and possibly Connaught. Are the usual suspects still going Nemo ,Cross and how are last years winners fairing

Nemo are not in the race they did not even reach the Cork county final last sunday which was won by Clonakilty of West Cork

I am surprised that you have not heard that Nemo Rangers and Crossmaglen are long gone from their County Championships. The Armagh final has not been played yet, but Clonakilty are the new Champions in Cork. Strange to say, they had no one on the Cork team that played in the All Ireland Final.

Nemo gone. Clonakilty will be corks reps this year. No intercounty players on that team.

I think it will be a district team that will win in Kerry this year although the 2 top Div 1 sides, Dr. Crokes and St. Michaels Foilmore are also still in it. Either of these 2 will have a good chance if they end up representing Kerry but there will always be serious clubs from Cork (Clonakilty / Nemo / Castlehaven), from Clare (Doonbeg and Kilmurry) and Dromcollagher Broadford from Limerick.

Very very extremely nearly impossibly very too difficult and hard to say who will even come out of Munster not to mind the rest of the provinces. If I had to I'd fancy a Dublin or Mayo club again but would love to see St. Galls win it if St Michaels Foilmore don't.

if rhode can get out of leinster they will have a great chance .leinster is the hardest province to get out of in club football with dublin kildare laois and offaly all having strong repasensitives.

St Galls of Antrim. Top class Ulster club side.

I hope that the winner of the Down club final, Kilcoo or Loughinisland, can have a bigger impact than Mayobridge did. Despite 10 years of dominance Mayobridge never won the Ulster Club final.

St Galls, the 2 Derry finalists will be lucky to win Ulster

rhode will be doing extremally well to win the offaly championship. whoever wins that play the kildare champions two weeks later. as they both are well known for week drinking sessions this game will come to fast for rhode or clara. id say the dublin champions will win leinster again

TKC St. MichaelsFoilmore wont represent either Kerry or Munster in the Club championship as there nothing more than a league side . South Kerry should win the county championship with Dr. Crokes represting Kerry and possibly Munster . I know little to nothing about Clonakilty . The final 4 should be Crokes , Armagh Harps , St. Vincents ( if there still in it ) and im not sure what stage the connacht county championship is at

Its strange that Crokes won it last year at all seeing as they were blessed to get out of Dublin at all! Its looking good for them again in Dublin this year but I wouldn't put it passed Judes or Boden to shock them.

No northside team in the semis in Dublin...whats the world coming to?!!

Heres whats left in Connacht.
Mayo: Charlestown/Knockmore/Crossmallina/Shrule/Castlebar.
Galway: Corofin/ Mountbellew Moylough
Roscommon: Castlerea St. Kevs
Sligo: Eastern Harps /Tourlestrane
Leitrim:Manorhamilton

Of the teams above Crossmalina/Charlestown Corofin most likely to win Connaught. Castlerea will be hard bet as will Eastern Harps if i had to back one id go with Corofin. Dont see an All Ireland coming west this year unless its for Portumna in the Hurling.

Renardredhand, I'd agree that St. Michaels dont have much of a chance but would still love to see them doing well. Having said that i hope Ciarrai Thiar put them to bed on Saturday. Being a man from our westerly peninsula.

Dark Horse has to be clontibret in monaghan. Good Management team with Paul Grimley involved. Loads of experiences and over ten players on the starting line up have represented monaghan at senior level. Current county players include Conor McManus, dessie mone, jp mone, vinny corey, paul mcguigan Also won the county final by ten points against the raining champions.
