Sounds as if the seans shouldnt even bother showing up on sunday as this is a foregone conclusion

Should be a close fierece contest on Sunday . As a neutral i would like to see currin win as they lost the final last year and have a decent foward line . However they seem to always flop at the big hurdle and never can beat clones in the big games . Seans will be tough opposition and in treanor and larkin inside they have two dangerous fowards . The clones field will be wet and heavey and this may suit currin more as its similar to their own field . Think it will go down to the wire and currin just to shade it

Intermediate semi finals

Harps v Tyholland will be a tasty game also . Harps are well battle hardened against a tyholland team with loads of potential that hasnt delivered this year . Doubles are very hard to win so a hesitant vote to tyholland and 3 red cards to be shown

Abog v Drumhowan - Abog go into this game with two tough games under their belt and sean o brien and gary mc bride are two excellent players . Drumhowan had no games like tyholland for about two months and have had long year after last years ulster and all ireland campagin . However think they will want to push on to senior and again a close result

Currin 1.8 Seans 0.9

Tyholland 0.13 Harps 0.11

Drumhowan 1.7 Abog 0.8

Says a lot about fixtures in monaghan that these games still on in december . Games in tyrone finished on Oct 25th

Currin are a local club with a few players i know i do think at peak this year are good enough to win.But i have said in posts earlier seans are great to watch
in full flow and can put up scores at will.IF currin win on monday morning they will know they,ve been in a battle to the whistle.
After quite a bad year for junior football lets hope we have a cracker.

Currin are definately favorites to win this one with great planers like Dick and Ben Clerkin, Jack McCarron and the O'Callaghan bros - Should be very strong. Seans are no slouchers either but found it a bit harder to find their feet in Junior than they thought (i'd say they would admit this themselves). Anyway it shoul be a good match but Id go for Currin particularily cause of the Clerkin brothers.

yes clones but did you see the players we had playing??

well,as i predicted in the opening post ,it was a draw.Seans had a serious wind and should have been out of sight after 20mins but couldnt take their chances.Currin are very fortunate to get a second bite at this.Currins forwards were starved of possesion due to Seans domination in the middle. Anyway Seans were the better team,but Currin surely cant play that badly again even though the scored 10 times to Seans 8. Seans are favourites for the replay but i think they may have left it behind yesterday.

Wouldnt you know it Ben you'd have to get writing up here again after yesterday..after building your team up for the last few weeks ur saying dat seans threw it away and i completely agree with you... although you cant just turn around and say seans are favourites now because of yesterday..if u say it was a bad day 4 u's does that not mean currin will still be favourites? and il ask you this...did currin score from play at all?..from my recolection of the game the answers no..

well lads i also predicted a currin win they are very lucky to be in a reply.Both teams played below par but it was ok to watch some fair tackling,tracking back
and workrate was high seans far better on day.Im ofton a critic of dick but he got through some work in last 20 but seans closed him well even though his team did,nt support him when he was coming out.On a dreadfull day fair play 2 both teams.

Ben - i love how u say that Seans were kind of best on day, but how u's outscored them tally wise and how they've missed the boat!ha You must be laughing when your writing your posts!!

Brolly where did i say Seans were "kind of the best?,i said they were the better team! and so they were.They looked fitter than expected and seemed to have planned this game to perfection.sleeping giants and all that.thats why they are now favourites.also id love to see the post which had me talking Currin up this season.Anyway i cant believe the ref isnt getting a mention here.2 huge decisions which had a huge inpact in the game.going to book 2 players (1 in each half)who had allready been booked,then changing his mind when he realised that they were allready in the book.the pitch was awfull,surely Emyvale would be a better option and both clubs wouldnt mind traveling as yesterday ended up been a war of attrition.looking forward to next weekend.

well guys...agreed no.8 and 3 for the seans should have walked without a doubt...luck struck for seans again!!! currin will have to win more ball in midfield...but shouldn't be that big of a problem if dick, ben and marrow are on form. if jack and even dick kicks as good frees again will be a big help.

Pauric mc guirk and larkin are seans main men and they seem to depend on them a bit much which is ok if they are on good form but otherwise friged if not!!

Will clones hold the match sunday??it wz in sum mess after the game!!

Hugoboss - I agree the Seans were lucky not to have either or both of those lads picking up a second yellow. On the other hand, I thought that the Ref gave Currin a lot of very handy scorable frees - Seans were too indiciplined at the back but some of the frees were very soft and given that Currin didn't score from play, those decisions were at least if not more significant than the 2 non-second yellows. Dick went to the ground, holding his face evry time anyone went near him. The Seans no 8 is a big lad alright but I saw Dick hit the turf one time the Seans corner forward and probably the smallest player on the field brushed up against him. Silly really. Anyway - leaving all that aside - It was an exciting match and well done to all involved. Looking forward to the replay - Room for improvement on both sides and good luck to both.
