If the provincial champions win their quarter finals it will be Leinster v Connaught and Ulster v Munster in the semis ,or a qualifier winner representing those provinces.

I see Dublin v Mayo and Kerry v Kildare as the semi final line ups for some reason.

What are peoples predictions.

Not sure of the pairings but can see Cork, Kerry, Donegal and Down in the semi's.

dubby: It seems Mayo are yer bogie team! When everyone else are Mayo's bogie team! The best chance of Mayo winning an AI is playing Dublin or possibly ourselves in the final. There is little chance of us getting there so BEWARE of the green & red.

Very early indeed for these predicitions, but sure we can look back in August and see how accurate we were. Depending on how the draw works out, i'll go for -

Dublin v Mayo
Cork v Kerry

Rebel.Og (Cork) - Posts: 519 - 18/05/2012 11:38:09    1175014

Yea and have you seen what Mayo have to do to reach their provincial final? Beat Leitrim.

Having said that , Mayo didnt design it that way and I actually think they have one of the classier sides in Ireland. Along with Tyrone and Kerry they are a real footballers team. Full of mobile and technically gifted players. If Gaelic football is going the way Dublin , Cork and Corklite (Kildare) play it then Heaven help us.

Cork v Down.

Cork v kerry final

Cork.

This is depending on draw etc.


Im likeing your prediction Royaldunne, but in all honesty I cant see it happening. Kerry have the edge over us in Croker. Hopefully this will be the year it changes, god knows we've suffered enough against them in the capital.

Rebel.Og (Cork) - Posts: 519 - 18/05/2012 12:34:40    1175066

Dublin v Kerry. Cork v Kildare/Mayo.

I do actually think that cork will become the dominant munster team for next 5 years. Kerry are a aging side and I think cork will break the hoodoo of the kingdom both in munster and more importantly at all ire level. I think it will rotate between cork and dublin for next number of years.

royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 18/05/2012 13:04:17    1175107

Kerry v Tyrone, Mayo v Cork

Tyrone v Cork

Cork

Semi Final teams, hard to say because they top teams could meet in the Quarter finals and eliminate each other. But my teams i think will feature this year are

Dublin, Donegal, Kerry and Kildare.

if mayo come across the dubs it will be an end to there championship,mayo had a good run in the league and got the better of a second string dublin squad now with all their players back and the hunger for back to back i really cant see mayo hurting dublin imo anyway,,
